Music

  • The 30th anniversary edition of 1992’s It’s a Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads just came out. In addition to being lossless and remastered, it includes wonderful new demos, acoustic versions, and a previously unreleased version of My Drug Buddy featuring Juliana Hatfield…

  • Mike Dawes recently released this video of him playing The Impossible. It’s fascinating to watch in addition to being an amazing listen…

  • Speaking of which, I really love his version of One by Metallica…

  • This week’s earworm: Post Punk by The Crystal Method, Hyper, and Iggy Pop…

Retro Computing

  • I love this project that has a Mac Plus running a web server. You may still be able to try it…

Time to see if the Mac Plus web server will stay online, it’s live at crackedmac.ddns.net:6880 Be patient, it takes 15+ seconds to respond to a single request. Below we see it loaded on my PowerBook 165 (also using IP over AppleTalk).

  • Speaking of which, there are Newton-powered web servers too!

  • Here’s a new look at the history of Write Now, one of the first word processors for the Macintosh.

  • Completely different, here’s a the project Messages for Macintosh which brings iMessages to classic Macs with a little help from something newer.

  • MyTek’s 576NUC+ is a brand new Atari 8-bit computer with an optional built-in FujiNet and/or optional cartridge port. Mmm! Here’s the tweet…

The wait is over, the NUC+ with my cartridge port add-on board is finally available! Supply chain shortages and pandemics really delayed this, well done to @BrewingAcademy for getting these out there! thebrewingacademy.com/collections/my…

  • Some neat new games for the Commodore 64:

    • Tutankham

    • Riviera Story

  • When the game BurgerTime first arrived in arcades there was something novel about it, as you’d see in this short video…

  • The Raspberry Pi just turned 10-years old, and although the Raspberry Pi 4 is currently impossible to get, this Atari 2600 themed case and accessory kit has me wanting one…

Writing

  • Four Secret Novels by Brandon Sanderson just became the most successful Kickstarter project ever. A great idea, and very nice execution.

  • The CutiePi, the world’s thinnest Raspberry Pi 4 tablet — expected to ship mid 2022 — is aptly named. This would be fun to try for writing, if only because it is so darn cute.

  • A sequel to Beetlejuice is being written for Plan B, Brad Pitt’s production company. (Spotted from The Retro)

  • This write-up about Chicken Sexing — the process by which a chicken’s sex is determined — is, indeed, interesting. (Spotted in Why is this interesting?)

  • The Varieties of Bullshit by Peter Ludlow is full of bullshit — the analysis of it.(Spotted from Arts & Letters Daily)

Electric Transportation

  • The TagVault by Elevation Lab protects and hides an Apple AirTag securely under a bike’s water-bottle cage. I’m trying one out now.

  • A quick summary video of the before and after project of turning an MG Midget electric…

  • A great new video review of the Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0…

  • A handy comparison of the Specialized Turbo Vado and the Turbo Vado SL…

  • The Polestar O₂ electric convertible sports car concept is drool worthy, and the integrated drone is an idea I’m pretty sure we’ll see realized here or somewhere else…
