Found a photo from 2007 of the gaming corner here in the computer room, back when the C64 was setup on the desk. (It's on the shelf, atm.) #retrogaming #ByteCellar #retrogames #consoles #vintagetech #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #Atari #Nintendo #Sega #Sony #CRT #C64 #TI99 #AppleII #photo

I saw what I believe was the Boeing E-4 Advanced Airborne Command Post, a Boeing E-4, flying overhead on my walk in Alexandria, VA. At ~12:52pm EDT. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_... #NoVA #photo #DoomsdayPlane #AACP #DC #airtraffic #ATC #flights #airplanes #news #WashingtonDC #aircraft #airspace
Easter morning message from the President. Could someone in the government bring the straight jacket and help this raving madman to the asylum before he gets the world into World War III? #America #world #geopolitics #wariniran #war #iran #excursion #screenshot #socialmedia
Apple did a "Picasso"-style rendering of the iPod on their 50 Years homepage. I think my iPodHacks logo (iPod news site I started in 2002) handily surpasses it. What do you think? ( Logo drawn by my friend Chris of @macrumors.bsky.social. ) #iPod #Apple50 #Apple50th #Apple #screenshot #tech
It's not my first, but my favorite. The //c was my first Apple product of all, purchased in April 1984. I still have a //c. I've kept it in my office over the years, back when I worked in offices. :-)
Of all the Apple products in my home, my favorite. #Apple50thAnniversary #Apple50 #Apple50th #Apple #Mac #Macintosh #AppleII #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #retrocomputers #Macintosh #SteveJobs #ByteCellar #photos #photo #tech #vintagetech #Woz
