So here's how I've nerdsniped myself this morning.

I've discovered when Wikipedia lists a person's birthplace (I assume this is a documented WP:BIO policy) they list the country *as it was named at the time they were born*. For example Yoko Ono is listed as having been born in the "Empire of Japan".

This policy extends to territories which were occupied. Former Samsung chairman Lee Kun-hee is listed as having been born in "Japanese Korea (present-day Daegu, Republic of Korea)". (1/3)

oh dang this wordpress plugin for this even has sample code you can use to adapt it to non-wordpress sites; very handy!

Stéphane Picq (music from Dune, KGB, Lost Eden, MegaRace, and others) has released a new album. Money from sales will go to fix his computer, so work on remastering Dune: Spice Opera album could continue:

Back in January, we looked at The Legend of Billy Boulder. An #Amiga, #AtariST and #PC title from U.S. Gold in 1990 - featuring artwork by the late Art Huff. Reviewed by at least two publications, it completely disappeared. Can something of it be found?

From the brilliant @itsmisterabk via Instagram. Otherwise known as the comedian Alasdair Beckett-King.

I was a sucker for FMV adventure games in the 90s, the more CDs the better. Chuck in a celeb or two who was no longer in the spotlight, and I'm there! 😁

Alasdair certainly got me in the nostalgia feels!

A 7 branch menorah is used though.
