Jason Scott's Weblog
I’m stacking documentary-related post after doc-related post, mostly to get these all out of my head for a little while. I wanted to address some documentaries I’m not doing, along with examples of them being done, or whether I think they should be done at all. While being interviewed by Off The Hook during the months […]
This could all be misinterpreted, so let’s just make sure all the positives are on the top, where most people stop reading. The BBS Documentary sold very well. Enough that I ran out of copies. But GET LAMP has sold better. Way better. Way, way better. How much better? I’m down to less than 25 […]
This is not related to my announcement that I will announce another couple films. Having finished two major projects in documentary, especially technical documentary, means I hear an awful lot about other productions of a similar nature. Most are tiny one or two-person projects, involving one driven individual and their buddy. Sometimes it’s more involved […]
I think the BBS Documentary surprised a lot of people by being so huge and coming out of nowhere. Just like some of my websites, that was definitely the intention – go from zero to 100mph and a massive collection, so that people who didn’t know they wanted something got it in spades. It has […]
And it’s all I really will be saying about it.
Hi Jason, I have a question for you, I’m hoping you can help me decide what to do. I have a lot of vintage computer magazines and books. Not Information Cube level “lots”, but still, boxes and boxes of them. A lot of this stuff is destined for AtariMagazines.com and AtariArchives.org. Some of it, I […]
When I closed down the first incarnation of my BBS and went to college, I got contacted by a young BBS user who’d enjoyed my board when it was still up, and asked if he could continue it. He did, and The Works BBS lived on for another solid decade before being dormant for the […]
A fan wrote the following letter, which I’m including in its entirety. They’re right, this game appears to have completely disappeared and can’t be found. But maybe some kind souls can help. As I and others add more and more information, perhaps more knowledge about the game can arrive – but I’m pretty sure the […]
Late last year I realized a very awesome problem. It turned out that the BBS Documentary, my little flick from 2005, was in real danger of running out of copies. Way back when, I ended up having to decide how many copies were going to be printed up, I chose the number of 4,500, figuring […]
So, I have a pretty major problem with the feed. It doesn’t update in a lot of clients. It updates in others. But my readership is wondering if I died. I’m working hard to figure out what’s going on, but it takes time – if previous situations are any indication, it’s some sort of ass-kicking […]
