I tried to take a photo of a grasshopper on my windshield, but now it looks like a gigantic bug destroying the town.

Love this. In 1999 my friend and I made a 20-foot Atari 8-bit SIO peripheral chain on the floor of my parents' basement (just to see if we could), and then set it up to record music from M.U.L.E., Ultima III, Archon, etc. to DAT.

I had a dream last night that I bought a new treadmill, and it was really well made and only $250, but the reason it was so inexpensive was that the company found a way to display continuous video ads within the treads, and it forced you to look down at them and watch commercials the whole time

When this inevitably blows up in everyone’s face Atari has the opportunity to do the funniest thing

I want to thank everyone that attended Atari Party today. Such a fun day and lots of amazing friends. #Atari

after extensive wind tunnel testing and analysis, I've concluded that airplane mode is a complete scam. it doesn't change the phone's aerodynamics in the slightest.
