An interview I did with R.U. Sirius a few years back was linked to from HN and upon further investigation I found this was because someone posted The Guy I Almost Was (1998). It's a great comic and worth a read (or reread) if you've never seen it, http://www.electricsheepcomix.com/almostguy/

It took me three years of off-and-on assembly and troubleshooting but today my RC2014 boots! #RC2014 #Z80 #Retrocompting

Got an awesome multimeter with a nixie tube display. Appears it was a heath kit that Devry students would assemble as part of a course back in the '70s.

Running #collapseos on a Sega Genesis. Took a while to figure out how to build it, but it works!

After my oscilloscope popped last week, I got this old-timer. Apparently it is a rebranded heathkit model.

A few weeks ago I ran ethernet and mounted a new UniFi AP in the utility closet and it has been a nice, stable piece of kit.

Replacing my iPod's logic board. The only original components left are the case, display, and click wheel at this point.

My Raspberry Pi PBX now runs through 10base5 thicknet because why not?

More #ferments #homebrewing including some beer and koji steak, which is beef inoculated with koji mold. (2/2)
