It's about to get lit ... "lit"erally!

Puns aside, this three-digit number of T8 LED bulbs will drop Bloop's lighting costs by 80~85%!

Just a quick snapshot out of the back window at the museum.

What do you think, should we mount a camera to capture the sunsets here?

Let's hear it for our volunteers who have been vacuuming and @nocturnalplant.bsky.social who has been running the rug doctor for nearly two days on the second floor. We're not realistically opening up there for two years... we just really really really want the new #museum building to be clean!

We're so busy packing trucks, moving, and unpacking, that we don't have time for an email update quite yet - but here's a shot of the most recent truck where we loaded up a bunch of fixtures from a closed-down Joann. Hope this will hold you over!

We met a TON of awesome people at our first Tekko! If you talked to us at a panel, in the hallways, or at our table, please reach out!

Spotted at #Tekko, these dudes are supporting their Densha de Go conductor by acting out riding the train. いつもお世話になっております!

...and like that, the game exhibit is now packed and ready to move to Pittsburgh. 🚚

Thanks to our final tour groups today for checking it out before we tore it down!

Bloop's longest-standing exhibit in our current space, the video game exhibit, is getting packed up for our move to Pittsburgh, where it will be expanded! Here's a look at it in all its glory 👾

Our supporter Evgeny donated an #𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘬𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘬𝘢 𝘉𝘒 (Электроника БК) 0010 computer from a parallel-dimension where the PDP-11 was sold as a general-purpose home #computer in #Russia. But actually, it's real! We're working to preserve more foreign tech at Bloop, so get in touch if you have anything!

Bloop has over 1600 software items and 150+ hardware items from Japan, and we show them to visitors on every tour. We're very interested in showing off more, and not just from Japan! Let us know if you can help in any way - we want to represent your region!

Our commitment to quality: We clean tar off your donation, or your money back!*

*Just kidding, nobody is paying us to clean tar and ash off of things, we just do it anyway

Wanna know what 700 lbs of floppy disks looks like? Once we get to the new location, we're archiving these!

Our last move (into our current space) began with some arcade machines moving from one side of Baltimore to the other. Last night we palletized some of our gear in preparation for the move to Pittsburgh. Thanks to @matt.godbolt.org and @nocturnalplant.bsky.social for their invaluable assistance!
