A most profitable day has been had in Sheffield.

By which I mean - profitable for all the stalls who say this mug coming a mile off.

Courier Z is back on her rounds in a few short weeks. Has she managed to get off the gig economy grind and out of the crime underworld? Maybe at least one of the two?

Hit the pre-order link below to make sure you find out. Artist reveals beginning soon.

In the 70s, Sharp had a series of "Latte case" boomboxes; as the line went on, more and more got put into it, like TVs. One of the last in the line was the RatecaPuter - a latte-case boombox with a 2KB computer that could run SHARP Basic programs off of the built in tape deck.

As someone who's been waiting for a proper Kranix since 2021, this hurts.

As someone who's adored Siege Astrotrain from day one, this double hurts.

As someone who's getting real tired of Hastak only focusing on bot modes and giving up up on the alt modes, triply so.

God, the new Studio Series Astrotrain looks so endearingly ramshackle. What an absolute state of a lad!

Really quite digging that engine mode.

Only *just* occurred to me that I ought to have included a link to where you can get the book from. I'm really good at this author lark!

Ayyyeee, just got my annual royalty statement for this wee thing. Modest earnings, but it's still pulling its weight! Love to see it.

My Pride badges on my lanyard often provoke questions and chats from the kids about gender/sexuality and they're so chill and understanding about these topics. Fractions, algebra, and biology are far more controversial topics in our classroom.
always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

RIP Robert Tinney (November 22, 1947 – February 1, 2026), the artist famous for his playful covers for Byte magazine, a hobbist magazine that ushered in the microcomputing age from the mid-70s through the 90s. I'm honored to have included his work in my own art collection.
