The Story of Mel with Tomer Lichtash and David Frankiel - JSJ 544
Today we have special guests Tomer Lichtash and David Frankiel, a web developer and programmer behind the epic hacker folklore project The Story of Mel, a comprehensive guide to The Story of Mel. This story, which has survived through all the changes in the internet since its birth in 1983, and has morphed through all its iterations into something almost poetic in nature. This allegory tells the story of the birth of of high-tech culture as we know it today, and creates some heated debate among our panelists as to the validity of its meanings. Tomer and David tell some of the back story into their journey to discover if the story is a hoax, or if is truly real.
