Another great HOPE conference this weekend by the @2600.com folks, with a lot of grist for the mill. But mainly I'm happy to get these Toilets on the Air ham radio certificates, (even if there were few actual toilets) :) Next year my goal is to have a proper rig for SSTV transmissions! #AmateurRadio

Three "Tota @ Hope 26" certificates for "Straight Flush (worked 5 sequential references)", "Inside the Bowl (T2T QSO)", and "Activated All Toilets"

But how am I supposed to document my grant request to excavate the previously undiscovered neolithic henge complex in Brooklyn's Prospect Park?

Finally got my own copy of the TI logic datasheet book: so much fun to leaf through, and when the apocalypse comes I won’t have to stop making projects! Ah, time enough at last…

Pretty much all of Edwards Hopper...

Morning Sun by Edward Hopper. A woman sits alone with her legs partially drawn up towards her chest on a plain bed, looking toward a window. Sunlight streams through the window and outside the tops of a row of brownstone buildings can be seen under a blue sky.

Post your warning sign. If you see this in the wild, it's quite likely the last warning sign you will ever see...

The ISO 21482 warning symbol featuring a red triangle with a thick black border. At the top of the triangle five wavy arrows emanate from a radiation trefoil towards the base. Along the base at the left is a skull and crossbones. On the right is a running figure with a thick arrow pointing to the right, away from the skull and bones.

TI 99-4/A: A rare machine in Ireland. The only games available were a handful of BASIC games that came on a demo tape, and I didn’t meet a single other person who owned one till I came to VCF events in the U.S.! So I was forced to learn how to program in order to do an anything with it.
