Wild Horse Nine at the #mvff opening night: it’s got the bones of In Bruges, flipped. Two hitmen travel to a remote location; one is expected to shoot the other; an impatient boss shows up. Somehow the Kennedy assassination is important. Great performances, reflective and regretful.

Also reading this now, it’s really good! I like that magic exists but it’s academic and a little boring and brands of chalk is their mac vs pc

I think Athena is purely a figment of his guilty conscience — she is the only god ever shown in the film; she doesn’t meet Telemachus; she appears in the form of the priestess who was executed (and she never appears in any events that happen before that).

It’s not a place for informed discussion of gamedev topics. Too many people who assume they know enough just from playing games. It’s funny because they used to upvote your timestep article regularly

weird that my parents’ internet is too slow to download movies to watch on the plane (presumably the infamous streaming tv boxes sold to seniors that secretly add their IP to a botnet) but the plane has starlink so I can download fine while in the air

It’s been decades since I’ve had the chance to indulge but am now discovering that this choice, before a cross-country flight, was a mistake.

The SOL was the one in the Byte Shop that really stood out to me before the Apple ][ arrived. First word processor I ever used was on one of these, a program called Electric Pencil, loaded from a cassette tape. Had a really solid Star Trek too!

@snell.zone I enjoyed the new podcast! It’s not super important but FYI your second swing at pronouncing “Terrell” is how Paul himself says it.

Guy at the flower shop was quoted $185 for the arrangement he picked out and then he asked “what is the expected romantic ROI for these?”

Also, RJ Mical, creator of the Amiga, Atari Lynx and 3DO! Somehow he knew he. He wins for best dressed at the event, in some kind of impossible-to-describe pajama suit.

Aside from the Woz and the Apple “garage crew” I got to meet and chat with some personal heroes like Bruce Tognazinni (Tog!) and Scott Knaster.

The founding stories of Apple, Oracle, and Microsoft intersect here. Along with many many long gone computers companies you probably don’t know: Processor Technology, Cromenco, Osborne, Tandy.

Yesterday I got to participate in something incredible. My uncle, Paul Terrell, wanted to celebrate the 50th birthday of his famous original computer store, the Byte Shop. This store is legendary in Silicon Valley.
