G4tv - Pulse :: BBS The Documentary

Got ten kinds of nostalgic while talking about old school IRC and BBS software tonight, and in the midst of the conversation I recalled Jason Scott and his BBS Documentary. I shot a package with Jason "back in the day" and thankfully he still had the video archived on his site: http://www.bbsdocumentary.com/

I'm incredibly proud of this piece. I was still rather young and green as a producer, but from pitch to product I was in charge of it all. I pulled a few all-nighters recording scrolling ANSI graphics onto MiniDV and filling out digitization forms... ah, those were the days!

Excuse me while I pour a forty for my board.

@xL717 Well, a lot of the old personalities from TechTV are still doing similar things online now. People from The Screen Savers are now on Tekzilla, This Week In Tech, and Diggnation for example.
