- This episode is in memoriam of my best friend, Eric Bailey.
- I met Eric at the D&D Club in my new Junior High School in San Diego. Here is more information on the history and various editions of Dungeons and Dragons.

- You can find the Hyper Realistic Sky texture pack here.
- For the Battle of the Air Bands at school, Eric and I were in an air band version of Cheap Trick.
- I briefly mentioned the M&M incident, but did not go into details… and if you live in the United States, you probably are well aware of what M&Ms are. However, if you live elsewhere, you might be scratching your head. These are what I was talking about.
- If you don’t know know the Manson Family, you can read about them here.
- In case you don’t know what SWAT is, you can find out more information from here.
- Not everyone grew up watching Looney Tunes cartoons. If you have no idea of what I was talking about when I mentioned Wyle E. Coyote, then this might help.
- I talked a bit about Luck and Karma. Karma might not be a familiar topic for some people.

- When I was talking about the water bottle, I compared it to the video footage of an Apollo rocket lifting off. Here is one of those videos I was talking about.
- If you were not sure what I was talking about when I mentioned the Manhattan Project, this is it.
- This is the quote from Blade Runner that I was talking about.
- I mentioned Sascha Ende and his music site. You can reach it here.
Ever since I watched The Sting as a child, I have loved Ragtime music. However, I am not a musician, composer, or even a particularly knowledgeable fan of music. I enjoy what I enjoy and that includes many different genres of music. However, Ragtime is the soundtrack for the era I am simulating and this may the first time that modern listeners may be exposed to it. So I am including some general Ragtime links and whatever information I can find on the particular tracks I used in this episode.
