    Your use of the #monochrome hashtag reminded me of my love of looking at photos on my old monochrome macintosh circa 1990, so I took your photo, cropped and scaled it down to the resolution of my old mac (on its side, haha), and applied the #Atkinson dithering algorithm seen in some photos on #HyperCard back in the day.

  2. 🪨 HyperCard on the Macintosh 🛠️

    The "software erector set" that launched careers and an entire industry, and came tantalizingly close to delivering us the world wide web 6 years early. Our last post of 2025 takes a deep look at this important title. I also muse a bit on the approach HyperCard takes in extending the definition of what it means to develop software. Happy holidays!

    Durch seine #Arbeit an #Quickdraw und #Macpaint gilt er als wichtiger #Apple- #Entwickler. Nun ist #BillAtkinson an Bauchspeicheldrüsenkrebs verstorben.

    #SteveJobs holte Atkinson als Mitarbeiter Nr. 51 zu #Apple und zum ersten Entwicklungsteam der Firma. Dem #Programmierer ist die #Quickdraw- #Bilschirmtechnologie mit ihren auffälligen abgerundeten Ecken zu verdanken.
