That’s the signpost up ahead - your next stop…

3/4 view of my Amiga 3000 with the iconic King Tut image on its CRT C= 1942 monitor. An "Amiga Zone" mug in the foreground.

Love Sundays like today.

Original Eye of the Beholder on my Amiga 1000. Image of when I encountered Tahoe, who ultimately joins my party. He’s a bad assed Dwarf fighter who kicks much ass.

Several of my startup icons including Front and Center, SpamSieve, cloud drives… now that I think about it before I reenable it maybe everything except for Apple OS-level stuff. I could still get to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and things like that for example

If you did, you could use it as a space heater this winter.

Shame it's called "downgrading" when things improve.

At least on iPhone we aren't seeing newer phones take a performance hit. But macos is a shitshow. I've read reports that brand new M4's are even affected. Beyond the UI garbage, it was when my machine started to crawl (an M1 Max) was like NOPE.

It lasts. And, you can easily reverse it if you ever want/need to go back. Kinda proves that this is just a jank UI layer add-on.

That said, I really needed my menu icons to show up so I could access SpamSieve. Technically the menu progs still work/run, but I couldn't conveniently get to them.

Don't think I've said this in 20 years, but I really wish I hadn't updated Macos to Tahoe 26. Not only does it look to be a janky mess, but the performance is degraded.

I can disable the glass via the Terminal which brings the performance back, but then important menubar icons vanish. It sucks.

just one example of the new macos shitshow that never, ever should have shipped. The worst part is the ridiculous performance his this unsightly mess causes - esp. with Electron-based apps.

I love Saturdays. A couple more.

Dang it.

Patience, Grasshopper.

Photo of my Amiga’s CRT showing the message “The board is busy!” and “no carrier” after the BBS I wanted to call immediately turned me away.

Yes, it is using the A1300

Can your computer do this?
𝑨𝑴𝑰𝑮𝑨

The computer is fully functional in this state.

Ahhh…
All caught up!

Photo of my Amiga 1000 after logging out of particles BBS. The photo shows a large graphic on screen of green text that says “LOGOFF” and some BBS addresses below it.

Just a small sampling of some real family photos hanging on the bathroom wall of an Italian restaurant in Seattle. And to think Portland likes to own the tagline, “Keep Portland Weird.”
❤️ Seattle

Family portrait in the mall photographer "Olan Mills" style of the 1980-1990s where each family member is wearing an outfit from Star Trek the Next Generation. Blue, yellow and red shirts are represented.

Amazing photo of a woman in a red shirt with tightly permed yellow hair wearing large glasses is holding a young child on her lap with large glasses in a red shirt with curly blonde hair. Incredibly creepy.

Very strange portrait of a man in a suit and a woman in a nice striped dress surrounded by various muppets and ventriloquist puppets, as if the puppers comprise their family.

Incredible photo composition where a main with a comb-over wearing large glasses looking into the distance from the 1970s or 1980s fills the frame. His family (presumably his wife and three kids) are super-imposed over his head like thoughts in his mind.

You've got smoke in the upper atmosphere, too, eh?

Hey there, sorry for the delay. I have to try and manually determine if an account is created by a spammer or a bot (almost 40% of the time they are). I struggled with yours and kept ahold of it. Thanks for your message - the account has been activated. Really apologize for the wait.

Time for a head of lettuce test with live webcam. Final time-lapse video to be sent to their email/socials.

I was beyond lucky to acquire this in 2024. I think it was originally from an Amiga dealership from central or northern Oregon. In any case the light fixture inside was broken. I finally fixed it today and put an LED light in its place.

Shine on you crazy diamond, forevermore.

Thanks to the glory of YouTube comments (bet that's never been said before) I now know the meaning of MMDC. It's been staring at me right in the face all this time! MMDC means 2600 in Roman Numerals. HAHA!!! So good

Today I published a video where I demo one of the most amazing pieces of hardware that was never sold - a pixel perfect Atari 2600 emulator in the form factor of a Sony Walkman. It could also emulate a C64... This video is a tribute to my friend who made it, and his brilliance. youtu.be/S0NU5KEuNuc
