I don’t think it’s embeddable, but this link is an old video about the UCB, I think from 2001-ish. I stumbled across it years ago, and I’m glad to see it’s still up.
It’s a really cool time capsule, including footage of what looks like an old Asssscat show, footage of a Delaney class at the old offices, and comments from UCB student Zach Woods.
Nice old find, Hal! That...
