Love it. Back in my late 20's, I had a blueberry imacg3 propped straight up on its end with the crt straight up looking through a glass top side table. I used it this way purely to stream stations though itunes with the puck mouse right on the glass. Nerds would pay real money for that IMO. Or...

Great video BTW. Thank you for sharing. Part of that video that resonated deeply with my own experience is how Steve acknowledged how design choices impact how users react & augment their use/behavior from said design. This was reflected in his privacy stance up to his passing & is just as...

I see both POVs as complimentary to one another. Both are characteristic of a thoughtful individual. An intellectual & rigorous mind that values debate certainly would also understand the value of & visualize the precondition & need to defend free thought from intolerant dogmatic tyranny...

Well, timing is important. My wife will be in office today from around 830a to 5p so I could in theory put whatever I wanted on the table during that time. But the real answer is I pretty much just sit my 68k macs on a shelf and look at them waiting for capacitors and batteries to explode. Any...

We all have these fantastic work spaces but I find myself commandeering the kitchen table once again anyway. KTs are a black hole that you can never escape from. :D

I absolutely adore wood grain. It is THE missing option in personal computing. Who needs rose gold when you can get wildwood or mahogany veneer.

Joshing aside, I thoroughly enjoy the PowerPC challenges/Marchintosh each year. I first ran into these years back on the MacRumors PPC forum. Between all the fantastic content that is put out there, celebrating all the enthusiasts who maintain/update and create current software for these elderly...

Well the sciency folks all agree that PPC rules & 68k drools, so we all know how that will go 😄

Oh wow, you have some room to get that big girl up on a dolly (Like one of these $10 jobs) . I had mine set up that way so I didn’t bust a gut or scratch my floor when I had to get at the I/o. I sure miss my old crt (very, very similar to yours) but definitely don’t miss the 100# weight. That...

My parents had a few so I grew up with Trinitrons. In fact I kept my parents Trinitron from the 80's - it had the matching wood grain stand with smoked black/gray glass magnetic doors. With marriage came the great purge lol and away it all went along with a flat screen Sony Trinitron I was...

Now that 30” is begging for a friend. Get a second 30” if you have the space or maybe push one using dual-link DVI with your 3,1. That would be pretty cool. a 30" aluminum cinema display has always been on my bucket list. I would love love love one of those for my garage bench. I dont care if my...

Build a emu retro gaming console with it and give it to your grandkids. Let em stick Super Mario Bros. Metroid and Sonic the Hedgehog stickers all over it. They’d be the coolest kids on the block.

An adjustable speed knob would be neat. I also like the idea of keeping the original designs pass through but is not critical, The name is great. My perverse mind finds subtle humor in either parlance.

Welcome!

This is true. I recall moderating multiple gaming forums in the late 90s and it could get pretty rambunctious back then between individuals and clans just as it does now. The difference now that I perceive anyhow is how interconnected & digitized everything has become. An attack on an individual...

You run into it everywhere. I have experienced numerous attempts at censorship on a number of social platforms from macrumors to discord channels life macyak to facebarf to Youtube to others over the years. Whether it be vindictive users lashing out with weaponized victimhood culture when they...

Voyage Home is one of my favs & Bones is a personal favorite of mine. Loved the cameo on TNG & the hospital scene is epic. Karl Urban reprised the role really well I think. I get it being built around an episode concept, just a ST fan being obnoxious is all. I agree on the work spaces we create...

You'd think the TNG folks could've gotten more creative with something like bioengineered nano robots that would repair/regenerate the heart tissues through a hypospray or some other fantastical awesomeness but no, we get some goofy mechanical heart for Sexiest Man of the Year 1992. Surprisingly...

I can tell you that my wife finds what we do absolutely ridiculous lol. Now, me maintaining my daily drivers and her vdub, she sees pragmatic value there - time and money saved. Anyhow, I tinker with so many different things, I appreciate nice spaces to do work regardless of the discipline and...

Another one of my favorite TV/Movie garages is Clint Eastwoods garage in the Gran Torino. Very cool, pegboard garage. Subsequently both characters Red Forman and Walt Kowalski are retired Marines.
