Editor's Notes

• #8: Note personalized first page
• #9: A handful of people responded to that ad, and later that year Jim sent seven of them the first issue of The Videophile’s Newsletter. In that first 4-page issue he wrote about collecting videotapes in short, hand-typed paragraphs: “What I would most like to do is trade tapes with those of you who are willing to keep an eye out for my wants, while I will, of course, do the same for you. At present I have neither the time nor the inclination to be a taping service (e.g. tape every episode of certain shows every day for someone). As much as possible I would like to keep things on a strict hobby-type nonprofit basis. I have no desire to gouge you for the opportunity to see shows that are of interest to you if it is within my ability to bring them to you.” In the following two pages, Jim outlined the specific shows he was interested in, even going so far as to include the TV Guide listings from their original air date.

• #35: shift gears
• #56: folksonomy,
• #59: The Turk was a famous hoax which purported to be a chess-playing machine. Constructed and unveiled in 1770 by the Hungarian baron Wolfgang von Kempelen (1734–1804), the mechanism appeared to be able to play a strong game of chess against a human opponent, as well as perform the knight's tour, a puzzle which requires the player to move a knight to occupy every square of a chess board once and only once. Publicly promoted as an automaton, the Turk was given its common name based on its appearance, and was a mechanical illusion that allowed a human chess master to hide inside and operate the machine. With a skilled operator, the Turk won most of the games it played. The apparatus was demonstrated around Europe and the United States of America for over 80 years until its destruction in 1854, playing and defeating many challengers including statesmen such as Napoleon Bonaparte and Benjamin Franklin.
• #61: Surowiecki makes an important point about tagging, and about crowd wisdom in general: it only works when individuals aren’t conscious of the larger crowd.
