• 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.

• 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.
