I was gifted this amazing latchhook embellished pillow from a long time supporter and friend. I cannot imagine all of the hours that was required to make something so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Stewart Cheifet and Gary Kildall were regular guests on my television growing up. The Computer Chronicles always made me feel like I was a part of this impossible dream of being a Silicon Valley insider. Thank you, Mr. Cheifet.

I’m really disappointed. I read this cover to cover and there wasn’t a single story about the creation of the Space Quest games. /s

I guess I was missing the "Master of Disguise" achievement for Costume Quest. Nobody tell Dana Carvey.

The original floppy disk was previously unarchived, now it lives on via the Macintosh Garden, yay! 🐰

I've played through #Firewatch numerous times, but was never able to complete all the achievements until today. Many thanks to Campo Santo and @panic.com for for wonderful piece of storytelling!

There’s a point where the costs outweigh the benefits. The only reason the average person runs Windows is because it came preinstalled on their race-to-the-bottom Best Buy econobox.
Living with Windows has always been a calculus of how useful it is professionally vs. the amount of unbearable shit you gotta disable with a script and I think we reached a tipping point where it’s majority unbearable shit.

Convincing the public that influencers are more trustworthy than journalists is the greatest trick PR has pulled off in my lifetime.

“I just watched this new John Carpenter movie that takes place in Antarctica, and I’ve got some new product design ideas” — the person that suggested this monitor stand
Highly curious about the meeting when they signed off on that monitor stand

When I was a kid and saw this movie in the theater, I instantly wondered about how they did the graphics sequence on that Mac Plus!

Even after all the research I did for my video explaining how the transparent aluminum special effect was accomplished in 'Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home', community speculation was still divided!
