since oscilloscope graphics are doing the rounds again, here's some photos from that time a few years ago when I built a gizmo to show dril tweets (and assorted other nonsense) on my ancient Tek 466

Your Friendly Reminder: Sean Lee Robinson, AKA "Geek With Social Skills" is a known scammer. He has run cons on video game, arcade game, and vintage computer communities for decades - and is still doing it-. Just look up his name.

I got an Apple 16” CRT from someone that rescued it from a scrapper so it was missing its cable. Modified a cable from a dead Multiple Scan 15. Had sync issues, but then remembered about SENSE pins. Pin 4 to pin 10 and we’re good to go. Nobody will be able to tell I was in here.

come on down to the Vintage Computer Festival West, here in Silicon Valley at the Computer History Museum. Saturday and Sunday, August 1-2! this is the ultra rare 3270 PC (left) and the XT/370 (right).

Posting again in the run-up to VCF because like, I'd really prefer not to be in "oh shit" mode if consignment goes badly I'm hopeful that things will go well but there's always the "what if" If nothing else maybe consider it an early birthday high five or something (because that's coming soon)

Very sad to say that I was laid off yesterday along with a bunch of great @salon.com colleagues My time there was short and busy: I got to write about books and relationships and how much gen AI sucks and people being horny for Frankenstein’s monster Some of my faves are linked below

@kristenwelker.bsky.social Hope you enjoyed entertaining the man who wants to put you in a cage. Disgusting. I suppose the price was right. So what does it cost to sell your soul, your morals, and your ethics? Why don't you go over and sit by @jaketapper.bsky.social? He sold out a long time ago.

NBC's kristen welker was caught laughing it up with Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller who architected the family separation policy. Stephen Miller who pushed the Muslim travel ban. Stephen Miller who oversaw the killing of Americans by ICE agents. This is why independent media is crucial.

Also with VCF a week away, I’m gonna post this up if anyone is feeling particularly generous. I have some stuff going for consignment to help fund things but that’s not a guaranteed quantity so it would be awesome to have a couple bucks on tap in case that doesn’t end up panning out.

Wow that was a royal pain in the butt but its finally alive. Power supply needed a lot of work. The I/O card is also totally dead, and i had to borrow another one while I wait for chips to arrive. Lightning I bet.
