The iMac G3 is an icon, with the computer and monitor all in one box, and was the first popular computer not to just be a beige box.
I not only rescued this one from the trash but also finally found a way to install a modern computer inside it!

World’s FASTEST iMac G3
I dragged this iMac G3, kicking and screaming, 25 years into the present by swapping its innards for a brand new Mac Mini M4.

Headed to #RadTechCon by boat. Not the quickest or cheapest way to get there, but a lot less stress than taking the tube in #London during rush hour. Taking in some sights. I remember when the Thames Barrier, the Millenium Dome, and the cable car were built, but never visited when I lived here.

The executive decision of the day: will Tom or won't @tommcraemusic.bsky.social smile? 😁 Nope. Oh well. Nevertheless, so good to hear 'Hidden Camera Show' being performed live again for the first time in ages with a full band. Part of the set list from the #Amsterdam Tolhuistuin show on 23/11/25 🎼🎵🎤

Tonight's the night! Seeing (singer songwriter) @tommcraemusic.bsky.social at Tolhuistuin, which is just a free ferry ride across from #Amsterdam Centraal station. Tom + band will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of his debut self-titled album. Still a classic and more relevant than ever!

Today I came into contact with someone who wrote a text book that was key to my first undergrad degree #linguistics 30 years ago, and discovered that his brother had written one of the text books used in my second undergrad degree #geosciences. Lecturers are like rock stars! 👩🏻🎓

Does anyone have a recommendation for a textbook that could be used for both mineralogy and ig/met petrology courses? I’m trying to reduce the number of books my students need to purchase and have found that hard copies work better for them than online-only options.

My digital music provider has such a tongue-in-cheek sense of humour in its algorithm. On my cycle home from work today it put together a #Coldplay themed playlist featuring 'The Jumbatron Song' 🤣😂🤣😆🤣 Too much, too soon? 🎼🎵🎶
