Every Canadian over 45 probably remembers Consumers Distributing, a catalogue-based retailer. Here are computers and consoles from the coveted 83-84 Christmas edition - it advertises a Coleco ADAM Expansion Module 3 in its prototype form, very different from the final product.

A very cool event in the game Elite Dangerous happens tonight: mankind's greatest threat has been defeated in Earth's orbit after a grueling multi-week campaign. It coincides with the game's 10 year anniversary! I played the first game in 1984 and have been fighting Thargoids for 40 years.

Inaugural post. This is my retro computer museum, with about 25 functioning computers, consoles, and handheld devices in a 13'x6' space in the basement. I run a club in Manitoba celebrating the electronic toys and nerdy passions of the kids we once were (and still are).
