Fascinating read on the DEL-key's supposed nothingness, how it's been visualized through history, and why the Amiga does it differently. Or does it...? blog.glyphdrawing.club/the-origins-...
The origins of DEL (0x7F) and its Legacy in Amiga ASCII art
A micro-history of the character DEL (0x7F) as it appears in Amiga's Topaz font, and explorations on its use in Amiga ASCII art.

I'll do my own visuals for the first time, next weekend, warming up for Henge at Musikens Hus in Göteborg. Let's see how that works.. :+) www.goto80.com/hengegoto80-...
Henge+Goto80 @ Musikens Hus, Göteborg | GOTO8O
Once again I'm warming up for Henge, this time at Musikens Hus in Göteborg, 10 May. I'll do my own visuals (for the first time!) so you can expect a good dose of textmode wilderness. The music in the video is my remix of their song Wanderlust.

I won a demoscene music compo! Haven't done that for years, and I was surprised by how happy it made me.

Competing in music is obviously a silly and problematic idea, but then you win and... 😎 https://youtu.be/NQrDLJvtzxE?si=DWGmzva4KvY2IGdX

10-15 years ago I tried to release music in the worst ways possible. My mini album * is one example, only available by burning a DVD in the wall of MOMI. A project by Aram Bartholl and Kim Asendorf. Anyway, now it's on Bandcamp! https://goto8o.bandcamp.com/album/--2

Big search was pretty crap in 2000, and now it's pretty crap again? I've been trying qwant.com as the browser default for a while, and I like it. (Image via never-obsolete on Tumblr)

Got some old disks with PETSCII graphics, probably late 1980's. I wonder if Snoopy started Snoopy's Doghouse BBS and then was convinced by his co-sysop Heavy Metal to rebrand it to something cooler, like DICTATORS OF DEATH.

The biggest win of getting a new phone, is that the Tumblr app allows me to save images on my phone again. (This one from lookcaitlin)

Early morning to read the manual of a synth I bought 3 years ago, and haven't used yet. Applause, please.

Dubmood and me did the design for HarleyLikesMusic's album 2.0. #petscii++

Really good bass music stuff (with Gameboy).
