Lost Cultures: Living Legacies


On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

A long time ago, Guy made an iWeb site called MacParrot.com. He got the domain name and custom built it, not just from the templates that iWeb gave you, but in a way that made it look nothing like an iWeb site. iWeb is now long gone and Guy let his ownership of the domain lapse some 10-15 years ago. His struggle to get it back and use it again is the subject of today’s centre section.…
We have made fun of folded phones ever since they came out. Super expensive and not long after purchase, a visible seam would appear across the screen. It’s been a couple of years since then and technology as always has improved. There are now whispers across the internets that Apple might dip a toe into folded space. Will they do it better? Will it still be more expensive than similar non folded gizmos? Will the GMen not be giant hypocrites and make fun of Apple’s try as well?…

Apple is unveiling a new member of the family on February 19th that has a lot of people buzzing with excitement. I’m not one of them really since most of the potential items aren’t things I want or already have the last generation of, but we won’t let that stop us from speculating about it later on. Who knows, if it really is something exciting maybe it’ll make me regret recent purchases because what’s life without huge amounts of regret? If you listen long enough, you'll find out there's a BIG difference between Father Tim and Father Brown on the BBC…

As hard as it may be to believe now, but once upon a time the rivalry was so embittered between Mac and Windows users that entire articles were written singing the praises of one or the other. Such foolishness is mostly behind us now and people typically choose what OS they run based on need. Certainly preferences are part of that but… just imagine that some people…some people mind you, may want to switch to one or the other. Obviously not going from the Mac to Windows since the Mac is most assuredly the better platform…what? Huh, maybe that rivalry hasn’t completely gone away.…

MacOS has been compared to other operating systems for like, forever. Why is it that Mac users stay with the platform when it’s without a doubt more expensive? With not as much choice for either desktop or laptop solutions? MUCH less software or gaming applications, and less capable of upgrades, especially now since the M-series of processors have arrived?
