Documentary on the most valuable baseball card in the world, the T206 Honus Wagner

Posted by Pete Berg on Sunday, March 3rd, 2013 at 11:06 pm

The T206 “Gretzky” Honus Wagner is the most famous baseball card in the world. And, as the art world readily illustrates, it may be that no matter what was done or not done to “The Card,” its value really does lie in the eye of the beholder. Great 15 minute documentary from ESPN’s “30 for 30″ series.

How a single line of BASIC code creates a labyrinth at random

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, December 13th, 2012 at 5:30 pm

There is a new book called 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 about a famous line of code used during the Commodore 64 era to generate labyrthinthes and mazes for early games. As the webmaster of Pete’s QBasic Site (which I started in 1998), this is pretty cool!

That one line, a seemingly clumsy scrap of BASIC, generates a fascinatingly complicated maze on a Commodore 64. Run the little program on an emulator—or on an actual Commodore 64, if you happen to have one collecting dust in your basement—and a work of art unfolds before your very eyes, as the screen slowly fills up in a mesmerizing fashion.
