Punky Brewster, Old Commercials, and Memories…Oh, My!

10.21.06

I was reading a friend’s blog and he mentioned a TV show, Parker Lewis Can’t Lose. I remember watching what must have been reruns of this before school started. I remember thinking how cool high school must be if someone like Parker Lewsis was in it. Anyway, this led me to look for other cool TV shows that I remember from growing up, which led me to Punky Brewster. Apparently she’s all grown up and has had breast reduction surgery, but that’s another story. I found this cool website called Retro Junk that lets you see commercials from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, as well as TV shows, movies, and other interesting “memories” you can relive.

How well this connected to the article I am reading in Fast Company about Microsoft’s Gordon Bell, a guy who records every part of his life and uploads it to computer memory. Creepy, yet useful, though somewhat incriminating, at times. He needs a better website.
