schwad @schwad.org · 03/01/2025A little side project I know Noah would’ve thought was neat. A television from 1979 I’ve set up (through short range analog broadcast) playing television from 1979-1981 all day long. I just turn it on whenever and TV is going. Video sourced from Marion Stokes archive. 040
schwad @schwad.org · 02/01/2025When I found this out today, all I could think of saying about Noah to my wife, is that he "Got it". I just don't know how to put this into words. We were on the same team for years, and he cofounded the Scarpe team with me. github.com/scarpe-team/... 1141
