  1. I'm still processing all of the cool stuff I saw at #vcfwest this weekend. So glad to finally attend!

    One item that caught my eye was this 1985 issue of Creative Computing for sale at the book stand. "3-D fractals on my micro? Yes please!"

    My jaw dropped when I opened the article to find, essentially, the Mountains screensaver from More After Dark, along with source for the algorithm in 3 languages! This must have looked bad-ass on a TRS-80 or Apple II at the time.

    Best $1 purchase ever!

  32. All these decades of hardware, running all these decades of software. People creating magic machines for people: one of humanity's nicest traditions.

    This kind of access to the history of computing continues to blow my mind. Thank you again, people who make possible. My gratitude is immeasurable and my day is made.

  37. It's also crazy to think how much we've “dressed up" computing in the contemporary age, but at its very heart, my fancy and thin iPhone Air has just so much in common with those early-90s Sun workstations (and yes, with NeXT machines too)

  47. I think I read one time that some people at Apple didn't wanna ship a Mac with only 128k of RAM; they wanted to wait until the 512k model was viable. They were right
