That’s Perfesser Spencer to You, Pal

Dang! I just serendipitously discovered that I’m now cited as an authority (of sorts) on Wikipedia, specifically in the entry about the Dickson Experimental Sound Film (ca. 1895). Some kind soul added an External Link listing pointing to my rather lengthy post about the film. My humble thanks to whoever did that — very gratifying, indeed.

I suddenly recall that I’m also cited in the bibliography of some semi-fictionalized book about terrorism. My dad was reading said book and found a citation for me as curator/editor of the olde (nay, ancient) Octopus Archive project, way the hell back in my Tezcat.com days ca. 1994-95. (It was a rather extensive [for the time] collection of conspiriana, covert history, political stuff, UFO lore and other high strangeness that I maintained initially as an FTP archive — remember those?) Unfortunately, dad couldn’t remember the title of the book, but we both got a big kick out of it.
