I modded my 18 year old Thinkpad X61 tablet for USB-C charging to be able to use any USB-C PD chargers, I was tired of hunting down its barrel plug adapter, and I use this often still.
Fun fact, this X61 is serial number 2! It was purchased new by my then employer, and I was the only user.

Throwback to 2023 when I got to visit the Connections Museum in Seattle (in the Duwamish CenturyLink Central Office building). Me going off-hook on a model 354 telephone connected to a step-by-step (Strowger) electro-mechanical switching system.

It's my birthday today, for reasons I wont get into on here, my birthday has been especially hard the last 7 years, this year seems even worse and more hopeless now with all the EO's and hate directed at me and my community. It's mostly dark humor, and spite keeping me going right now.

A lot cleaner than I could manage 20 years ago when I made up a SSD solution for my old Portable. 3D printing and Raspberry Pi’s have really changed the game.
