Catch of the Day: Greetings from the TOS Universe! 🕹️
Hey Retro Fans!
The eternal system wars of the 80s and 90s are long gone. Today, we are united by our love for vintage hardware. And even if some of us spend our weekends cleaning the motherboards of an Amiga 2000 and recapping its power supply, you simply have to tip your hat to today's incredible catch:
HighWire 0.3.3 on an Atari ST / TOS!
A genuine Atari ST (or perhaps a TT/Falcon) was browsing FrogFind today! For those who might not know: HighWire is an absolutely fantastic open-source web browser, written in pure C, specifically designed for the GEM graphical environment of Atari computers. It even supports basic CSS and images—a true masterpiece of programming for this hardware architecture.
The fact that in 2026 someone is connecting their Atari to the modern web using a network cartridge (or via serial SLIP/PPP) to use our little search engine is simply brilliant. A wonderful piece of tech history lives on.
Cheers to the 16-bit era!

A 19th century (probably) stock block.
Techniques for copying wood engravings, and later engravings on metal, gave rise to an industry in selling printing blocks such as this one of a trapeze artist - a “stock block”.
Papier mâché moulds for metal were followed by electrotyping and finally photographic etching.
Now we have #GIMP 🙂 - scanned at 1400dpi and cleaned

Had fun at the #circus last night in #SaintPaul #Minnesota at #MaplewoodMall, I haven't seen a #HumanCannonBall performance in a long time. They will be around until next weekend before moving on to their next performance location. FYI #CirqueDuSoleil will be at the #MallOfAmerica next month and I have tickets for that also.
