3rd World Man | Sean Lennon's GOASTT "Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger", Nelsonville Ohio Music Festival, May 14, 2011 @BlueRidgeParkway | Uploaded June 2011 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Sean Lennon's Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger (aka GOASTT) plays at the Nelsonville, Ohio Music Festival at Hocking College on May 14, 2011 . They played a short, but impressive set of four songs. I got most of it on video, though it was raining and the video is a little janked-up as I was trying to keep everything dry. The Flaming Lips were the headlining act, and leader Wayne Coyne tried to catch all the shows while he was there. He's watching GOASTT from stage left. Hope you enjoy! :)

Classic Commercials: UNIVAC Computer 1956. Amazing early computers could be used for advanced purposes such as future weather forecasting, and available in four different models: The General Purpose Univac, Univac Scientific, Univac File Computer and Univac Punch-Card Computer.
More info on UNIVAC from Wikipedia:
In the course of its history, UNIVAC produced a number of separate model ranges.
The original model range was the UNIVAC I (UNIVersal Automatic Computer I), the second commercial computer made in the United States.[4] The main memory consisted of tanks of liquid mercury implementing delay line memory, arranged in 1000 words of 12 alphanumeric characters each. The first machine was delivered on 31 March 1951. Successor machines included:
The UNIVAC II was an improvement to the UNIVAC I that UNIVAC first delivered in 1958. The improvements included magnetic (non-mercury) core memory of 2000 to 10000 words, UNISERVO II tape drives which could use either the old UNIVAC I metal tapes or the new PET film tapes, and some circuits that were transistorized (although it was still a vacuum tube computer). It was fully compatible with existing UNIVAC I programs for both code and data. The UNIVAC II also added some instructions to the UNIVAC Is instruction set.
Sperry Rand began shipment of UNIVAC III in 1962, and produced 96 UNIVAC III systems. Unlike the UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II, however, it was a binary machine as well as maintaining support for all UNIVAC I and UNIVAC II decimal and alphanumeric data formats for backward compatibility. This was the last of the original UNIVAC machines.
The UNIVAC Solid State was a 2-address, decimal computer, with memory on a rotating drum with 5000 signed 10 digit words, aimed at the general purpose business market. It came in two versions: the Solid State 80 (IBM-Hollerith 80 column cards) and the Solid State 90 (Remington-Rand 90 column cards). This computer used magnetic amplifiers, not transistors, because the transistors then available had highly variable characteristics and were not sufficiently reliable. The magnetic amplifiers were based on tiny magnetic cores with two wire windings. The magnetic amplifiers required powerful pulses of heavy current produced by a transmitter-type vacuum-tube, of a type still used in amateur radio final amplifiers. Thus the Solid State depended, at the heart of its operations, on a vacuum tube.")
