[Noisebridge-discuss] that dead television thing

[Lx Rudis]

i guess i'm glad they're doing it.  got card-carrying cyberpunque Bruce Sterling doing the eulogy and all.

but that does not erase the fact that this is happening in Berkeley...

television was invented _here_ in SF.  it was done by philo T farnsworth, and his laboratory was at 202 Green Street, i think the warehouse still stands and there is a plaque there.

here's a statue of him in the presidio.  it's at lucasarts:
