Bob Evans, Capital Children's Museum administrator This is the fourth in our series of interviews about the Atari computers at the Capital Children's Museum. Bob Evans wore many hats at the museum: he was director of special exhibits, where he worked on the museum's exhibit on the history of human communication, which used several computers, both public-facing and behind the scenes. He was administrator of Superboots, the museum's software publishing lab -- it published the computer art program PAINT! but no other software. Bob was administrator of The Future Center, the museum's public computer lab, and administrator of the museum's summer computer camp for disadvantaged youth.

Ann Lewin-Benham, Director of Capital Children's Museum Ann Lewin-Benham was executive director of the Capital Children's Museum in Washington, D.C. The museum was home to the first public-access computer center in the nation’s capital, and indeed, one of the first in the United States. In 1981, Atari and Apple each donated dozens of computers to the museum. The exact number is unclear, but 30 is the number I've seen most often for Atari's contribution. The computer lab was called The Future Center. There, the museum offered computer literacy classes for people of all ages, from Compu-Tots for preschoolers, to programming classes for adults, there was even a computer literacy session for members of Congress. It also used the lab for birthday parties. (Last year, I interviewed a woman who had her 8th birthday party at the museum.) The museum used more of its computers in its exhibit on communication. It established a software development laboratory, called Superboots, in which developers created custom softare for the museum, and one product that was released commercially: the graphics program PAINT! In a 1982 article titled A Day At The Capital Children's Museum, Melanie Graves described the scene: "My twelve-year-old friend Sarah and I went to the museum to explore the computers. There are several dozen computers scattered throughout the building which are used for exhibits, classroom teaching and the development of educational software... A machine that calls itself "Wisecracker" is the noisest of the computers that beckon visitors to the Communication exhibit. "My-name- is-Wise-crack-er," it says in a monotone, "Come-type-to-me." This message repeats endlessly until someone types at the keyboard or turns off the computer. "Hello, how are you?" Sarah typed, and pressed the return key. "Hel-lo-how-are-you," the machine’s voice responded. Sarah typed for awhile longer and then proclaimed, "It sure is dumb, but its voice is kind of cute." The computer next to Wisecracker has a data base program that asked Sarah her name, where she came from, and other questions. It informed her that she was the thirty-seventh person from Virginia to type in data that day... "Fifty-five percent of the people who came here were girls," she told me. Next to the data base, a computer is set up with a music program. Sarah pressed some random keys, causing notes to sound. At the same time, the letter names of the notes appeared on the keys of a piano that was displayed on the screen. There is also a Teletext terminal that tells inquirers about weather predictions, and news releases, the latest acquisitions at the public library, local cultural events and whatever else has been entered into the data base for that day... After playing with Teletext, Sarah and I went to the Future Center, a room equipped with twenty Atari 800s. On weekdays, the classroom is available to school groups ranging from prekindergarten to high school. On weekends, families arrive for courses in programming. Classes have also been created for working people, senior citizens, community groups, congressional spouses and other special interest groups. This summer more than sixty students from the Washington, D.C. public schools attended one of two free month-long computer camps at the museum." This interview took place on April 2, 2021.

Jeff is the chief operating officer for Tulsa Community Foundation and the executive director of Tulsa’s Gathering Place, which just celebrated its first birthday after a phenomenal opening year. Park officials expected around 1 million visitors, but it was a little more popular than anticipated with nearly 3 million people visiting Gathering Place. There have been glowing write-ups in the New York Times. In September, Urban Land Institute named it among its 11 Global Awards for Excellence. In August Time Magazine named it one of the 100 World’s Greatest Places to Experience. It was named USA Today’s Best New Attraction and the list goes on.Jeff and I spent a lot of time talking about Gathering Place. We talked about the parks many successes in the first year and how it weathered the historic flooding six months after it opened. We talk about what’s to come for the park, because as amazing as it is, there is still another phase of construction that includes the Children's Museum. Jeff talks about the ways they are dealing with heavy traffic and the new ways visitors can access the park without trying to find parking in the nearby neighborhoods. He’s been a Tulsan most his life, so we talk about his previous work in the fishing and tackle industry and what the husband and father of two’s hobbies are outside of work. I had a great time getting to know Jeff and having a chat. He’s a great ambassador for Gathering Place and Tulsa. His energy and excitement when talking about both is infectious. Following that conversation, city editor Morgan Phillips heads to the Tulsa State Fair to figure out What the What (48:40) it takes for a mama pig give birth in a room full of spectators enjoying bacon treats and hot dogs. The star of the segment is Sadie, who was forced to carry around 15 babies for days at the fair. Somebody get her a megaride pass and a funnel cake.Closing out this episode of Tulsa Talks is CliffDiver, which is sharing their new single “Cameron Diaz” (52:50). It’s the first single from the six-piece pop punk band’s follow-up to their 2018 EP Small Hours, which is available on Spotify.

This week, I present to you: no bits, no musical numbers, no sitcoms. Just me talking, like the old days of Birthday Boy (i.e., May and June of this year).  - I talk about the "Mister Focker" kid from the Children's Museum; - Letting 'em rip early one morning in my office, just SECONDS before the CFO of the bank came in to sit with me; - The very nice, sweet thing my oldest once had the opportunity to say to Hillary Clinton one time, as well as the hilarious thing I said to her, and whether or not she also thought it was funny (hint: she did not); - Sounding Board Theater-ish, with tales of the Trampoline park, and why ipecac and childrens' birthday parties don't mix; - Kim thinking that my nickname used to be Giney Papadopoulos - Impromptu job negotiating tips and interview strategies from Birthday Boy Career Consulting, a division of Birthday Boy Podcast, Inc.  - Grandma Klif calls Klif to talk about the rumors swirling about what he's spending his "Kliffy's Place" money on - Aaaaaand more!
