I’m really tired of the “space exploration is wasting money we could be using to help people on Earth” argument. Because we weren’t that money to help people on Earth, and are in fact using most of our money making life on Earth worse. And the technology they develop does help everyone here.

Plain black label chap stick smells like my childhood winters.

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

Who was the legend of a journalist at the Artemis briefing today who asked whether fixing the toilet was priority number one or number two?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all my trans pals! Here's your complimentary robot.

Before I ever heard anyone pronounce "sequel", I thought "sql" was pronounced "squirrel". I guess I imagined a little squirrel stashing nuts away in the database. 🐿️

mild take: we're watching silicon valley get very excited about their tools in the same way a guy with a huge wall of ryobi stuff thinks his collection is more important than what he does with the tools

See that bright, glowing object with a tail? That's not a comet. That's the planet Mercury.

Project Hail Mary is the best movie I've seen in a very long time!

Thought I'd take advantage of the nice weather today and pull the telescope out of winter hibernation. First quarter moon tonight with lunar X and V visible! This is a quick and dirty eyepiece shot.

#MARCHintosh event at the library in Green Bay, WI this last Saturday with @wiscomputerclub.bsky.social. In this video you can see lots of Macs and a couple of non-Mac Macs! My midnight rainbow Amiga 1200 running ShapeShifter and running MacOS 7.5.5 with a 68060 CPU, and a StarMax Clone system.

Tremendous thanks to all who came out to the WCC #Marchintosh Mac show in Green Bay! We had a lot of folks come out to play games and talk shop; we hope you all had as much fun at the show as we did putting it together! We hope to be back to Titletown soon! 🥳

Good morning to everyone except the worst computer industry promotional pin.

Well that is depressing to find out about Roisin.

Yay I got a gift for #MARCHintosh! A friend gave me this super nice iBook G4. It's outfitted with a 1.33 GHz G4 and 1.25 GB RAM. (It looks yellow in my office lighting but it's actually bright white.)

MISSING! HELP! I am looking for the playing card deck from GDC 2020! It was printed but the show was cancelled. I have heard rumors that they gave them away but I've never seen one and no one on GDC staff has a set. I'm in it and want to complete my set! Let's bring my card home! To me!

Name an album you've heard on cassette.

Rhoda is partially responsible for my sarcasm.

The problem with going to conventions is bringing home the crud 🤒

Woke up this morning, looked out the window and got mooned!

While Evercon is over (many thanks to all who came out to game with us!) the retro fun continues! Join us this Friday at CREATE or this Saturday at the Wautoma Library for more retro video game fun! More shows in the works!

One of the cleaner thunder cracks I've captured. I pooted a little. ⚡💨

#MARCHintosh continues for me. I picked up this Macintosh IIcx for $60 on FB marketplace. Thankfully no battery was installed, but the caps are sure leaky. I've removed them all now and no pads were damaged!

Super specific classic Mac question. If I have a bootable MacOS .hda image that I use with BlueSCSI, can I write that image to an SD card with Balena Etcher and use it to boot over an IDE port?

My husband and I are staying in central Wisconsin this weekend for Evercon 26! We're having a great time! Photos to follow...

I just made my coworkers laugh. I finished presenting something over Teams and before ending the meeting I told them to be sure to like and subscribe 😅

Happy #MARCHintosh from my Amiga 2000!

New Video: The PicoIDE is a brand new IDE optical and hard drive emulator for classic computers. Based on the Raspberry Pi RP2350 and ESP32, it's easy to use, open source, low cost, fully featured, and set to be an absolute game changer for the vintage computing hobby. youtu.be/MG_t0Ti3_rY

She was a fascinating person. I watched this when it was on Nick at Nite.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

LGR has a video out covering my #PicoIDE project and the ZuluIDE. We are officially in a awesome new era of drive emulators! youtu.be/td6QdOnMvnk

if you think the greatest threat to effeminate gay boys is the trans movement and not the cis straight men who overwhelmingly exclude and brutalize them then you should walk into the ocean immediately

I'm sure I've shared this before but I like it a lot so here it probably is again 😅

It's a #marchintosh miracle! My late 2005 Mac Mini decided to allow me to reinstall Tiger. The DVD drive is a goner but I used a random CDRW/DVD combo drive from an old laptop. Ordered a working slot load replacement drive tonight too.
