  • This tweet got me to thinking about 1-bit art…

  • And I found myself looking up more about dithering, the process of using a small color palate to simulate a larger one. I didn’t know there’s still modern code to create 1-bit dithered images too. Here’s one I made.

  • Want more black and white dithered images? You can run MacPaint in your browser, or create your own with Dither it on the Web, or BitCam on iOS

Music
  • You’ve got to love a Saxophone plug-in with a big dial labeled “SEX”…

  • Cometsong is a neat little song on the Apple II…

  • New to me, this Sweet Dreams + White Stripes mashup is really well done…

  • This week’s earworms:

    • Love You to Death by Fickle Friends…

  • Celebrity Skin by Doja Cat…

Retro Computing
  • #MARCHintosh is right around the corner — a neat idea to rally content creation on the topic of classic Macintoshes during the month of March.

  • Speaking of which, it’s pretty cool to see that there are projects for re-created Macintosh SE boards, and compatible yet enhanced SE/30 boards for restoration projects.

  • Here’s a great write up about the Atari 800XL.

  • And a deep-dive into the In-Store Demonstration Program cartridge…

  • This is an interesting look at the Atari Panther, an unreleased console that would have been slotted between the 7800 and the Jaguar…

Gaming
  • Wordle ports now out for:

    • Wordle! for Netscape (useful for all types of retro computing!)

    • Windle for Windows for Windows 3.1

  • Peasant’s Quest, an irreverent spin on the classic King’s Quest made by Homestar Runner is being ported to Apple II

  • This new Timex Space Invaders themed watch is sick.

Writing
  • Funniest thing I read all week…
