π I traded in my MacBook and now Iβm a desktop convert
But once the puzzle of ports and peripherals was mostly sorted out, I appreciated how intentional desktop life is. Laptops are great, but their portability made it hard for me to separate work from home.
I have separate laptops for work and home that solve most of this. But having a dedicated place to do personal computing that isn't my home office is appealing. It's mostly the dining table or the sofa these days. -
π Triumph of the Nerds: Part 1: Impressing Their Friends
A new VHS transfer from original NOS tapes. Hosted by Robert X. Cringely. All rights reserved by PBS Broadcasting and Channel 4.
A good overview of the rise of personal computing. Mostly things I've soaked in thus far, but I did see (for the first time) actual usage for an Altair. -
π Love Notes to Newton
Love Notes to Newton is a film about what a beloved (but short-lived) pen-based Personal Digital Assistant created by Apple Computer has meant for the people...
I find myself really wanting to buy a newton on eBay now. The black and white screen. No internet. :chef-kiss:
I think the thing Apple got right the first time around was data centricity instead of app centricity. -
π 1994: Are YOU Ready for the INTERNET? | Tomorrow's World | Retro Tech | BBC Archive
Kate Bellingham reports that an exciting new interconnected world - a world where every word ever written, every picture ever painted and ever film ever shot...
I like watching these clips about the early internet as presenters try to explain the internet. Who could've guessed it was such an integral part of modern life 30 years later. Also really like the setup with all of the old Mac desktops in various states of screensaver or not. -
π You should take more screenshots
If you do any sort of creative digital work, screenshots and screen recordings are a great way to remember it.
That was part of the reason why I started writing archive pages for my projects a while back. I used to have screengrabs of my old Mac and Linux desktops floating about somewhere, too, for that extra nostalgia hit. They seem to have disappeared in the sands of time, however. Mostly Digital Blasphemy backgrounds with similar color themed xmms and friends running.
