    Picked up an Apple Newton eMate 300! 😃

    Sure would be cool if there was an upgrade path to updating the screen to a higher quality color screen. These sure are a neat part of Apple history.

    TinkerDifferent - Gamer Tags & Usernames

    Yeah I am surprised how slowly this is filling up or how few gamers (old or new) there are on TD. Not much time right now to enjoy new titles (an all time fav of mine are the HL series games) as my boys are very young but I figure as they get older, there will be more shared time to game (or...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I agree and I think that can be done. Again for $400+ that expectation is not out of line. I agree with you on the benefits for plexi, but we're not talking about a $20-30 piece of commercial wall art, so I think it is fair to expect glass and proper shipping to preserve it. Really, for that...

    Grid 1 REVIEW — iPhone 2G Wall Art

    I really like the design/breakout concept behind these (and the minimalist frame) but I agree that for that price, there should be zero issues. The generic verbiage & dust would be a big turn off for me when spending $400+ USD. Not having the exact part names is just lazy to me. Through that...

    Macintosh TV CRT replacement

    Don’t get me wrong, I would absolutely do this if I was single & it would be awesome but there lies the crux; as a married man, a single man is absolutely what I’d be if I were to proceed with such shenanigans.

    Macintosh TV CRT replacement

    I would be divorced in 3 … 2 … 1 😅 Now an IPad on the fridge, I think I could sell that.

    Lessons learned the Hard Way

    This for sure. I was pushing through a PBg4 17" SSD swap around midnight on a Friday after a long work day, cooking, puting kids to sleep etc. and broke the trackpad ziff connector off the lobo. Should have put it away and went to bed to start up another day. Speaking of PBg4 trackpad ziff...

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    Mezallunas are great for chopping in a wooden bowl.

    Favorite kitchen Doo-dads & gadgets.

    What are they? This can be as simple as a single-use gadget or as complex as a multi purpose item like an oven, mixer etc. I'll go first. A minced beef/meat wand/chopper. I find this single-use gadget to be incredibly useful. There is no other piece of gadgetry that I know of that pulls minced...

    NHK Video: Steve Jobs love of Japanese Art

    Nice Read - thanks for sharing. I had no idea Steve Jobs was a collector of Shin-hanga wood block prints. That's fascinating to me when you consider shin-hanga and Japanese cuisine intersecting with Jobs era Apple design. Very, very cool. Thanks again for sharing.

    Not only vintage Computers

    My friend Charles has an early 80s RX-7. He has forever (decade+ at least ) been fiddling with the carburetor trying to achieve maximum oomph. Neat car. The more i look at those wood rack rails, the more I really like them. My 300D is garage kept, but still, 8hrs a day M-F parked at work is a...

    Not only vintage Computers

    A work-buddy of mine from around 15 years ago DD'd a couple 240Ds that he had converted to bio fuel. I rode in them and it wasn't at all bad for an in town commuter. It was slow but heck, so is my turbo'd 300D. modern cars blow by me - my wife's Vdub Atlas just leaves me in the dust. What evs...

    Not only vintage Computers

    I have considered swapping out to Euro lights a number of times. I do like the look of them and the stock bulbs are in fact not the greatest. I luckily do not live where there is a lot of ground fog, so I get by with what I've got but that is on the list of to-dos. Right now, I am refinishing a...

    Not only vintage Computers

    Oh my, Little Kings are fantastic aren't they? Every time I am in the area (which isn't too often unfortunately), I scoop some. Yeah, grew up on the Reds, Bengals, n' chili parlors and have loved the stuff since I could walk. Mmmmm, delicious :) Nowadays I have my own scratch recipe but if I'm...

    Not only vintage Computers

    I was going to repaint my 300D in orange (because that is an awesome color) but am rethinking vintage white (cream). That way I can get a magnetic Cincinnati Reds C emblem for my hood which would be epic. That and get a GoldStar Chili emblem for my back window.

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    Ohh, I like that very much especially with the safety cage feature. Very nice. Does the cage while open disable the start? With all of the commercial mixers Ive used over the years, they have all included this feature as to prevent appendages from being torn off and with curious little kids that...

    The Mega Shed

    All I have to say is that is one righteous galley kitchen - just gorgeous. Very cool! Love the back yard space too. Hmm, the way it is oriented, the pad could be rebuilt to accommodate an even bigger she shed. If you do commence with the build, please document here. Id love to see how it comes...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    So I dont use a commercial mixer. I'd love to have a Hobart 8qt stand mixer but just have never had the room for one in my kitchen (and don't now LOL). I use the same Kitchen Aid 600 series that I've had since culinary school (1996-99) if you can believe it. The thing is an absolute workhorse...

    Kitchen demo & remodel

    This is a great idea. I will pick up a few extra and attach them to the under sink space or above the microwave if under the sink is inconvenient.
