One Christmas I thought I was pulling a prank on my dad & borrowed his friend’s empty C-64 box to wrap my dad’s gift in. Watching him unwrap it, all surprised and when he opened the box the prank was on me. He’d gotten ME a C-64.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Commodore! Thank you for the incredible welcome, the stories, and the passion you’ve shared with us.
It truly feels like coming home. This journey is only just beginning; and there’s so much more magic ahead.

24 years ago I snuck this song onto a Christmas music CD I burned for a few friends. When Dan’s post popped up in my reader it brought back a few memories. Was surprised to find the jewel case. Here’s to long roads & better years.

listening to a discussion with a local politician and they're asked about a book that's heavily influenced them. They cite Lee Kuan Yew who I wasn't familiar with.

The DOJ's position is that this is wiretapping, 404 reporters can be indicted for it, & forced to prove they had the consent of the people who appear on the videos. Their appeal of Judge Mizelle's ruling that they are wrong is due at the 11th Circuit today.
