I’ve made a return to 11 Points Countdown for a two-parter: “11 Things That Used to Be Fun But Got Ruined by Technology“. You can see my previous turns, (genuine) beer in hand across from host Sam Greenspan, on my about page: first, on the benefits of high gas prices, and second, on underwhelming United States landmarks. But this one has all manner of talk about Sports Illustrated, Brentano’s, vellum paper, computers with spinning wheels, and strolls through the aisles of Blockbuster Video. (I may have mentioned Griffin and Sabine somewhere along the line, but I think it hit the cutting room floor.)
