So we doin' introductions now?

Hi! I was slingin' tech podcasts at TWiT.tv for nine years before I left in 2019 to work in local television (lol).

I like Star Trek, computer and television history, aviation, architecture (pro brutalism), civil engineering, game dev, film, music, film music. 👋

I never understood why that specific upper outfit called for different pants, reminiscent of the TWOK+ uniform pant cuffs.

Apple went through a beige, platinum, white, black, and aluminium phases.

Where was copper?!
A picture of an Apple Jonathan that appears to be made of polished and satin copper plated plastic. It sits on a desk with a whole heap of things that felt amusing to model at the time, like a grey rubik's cube, book, stolen chris espinosa ID card, pencils, paper trays and discatte floppy.

Yep, it's him. I remember that photo from this interview a long time ago: trekplace.com/ap2005int01....
Photo of a bearded man wearing a tie standing outside of the Ten Forward set windows with his arms out as if he's been sucked out (correction, that's blown out) into space

Should have installed Tribble Linux.
Title card designed like an episode of "Star Trek: The Original Series." The Enterprise flies away from a space station. The title text in yellow stylized font is, "The Mediocre Computer" View from the main bridge, captain's POV. Sulu and Chekov look ahead at the main viewscreen. On the screen is the BSOD from Windows. It reads, "Your main computer ran into a problem and needs to restart. We’re just collecting some error info, and then we’ll restart for you. 47% complete. For more information about this issue and possible fixes, visit http://starfleet.ufp/dunsel If you hail a support person, give them this info: Stop code: PENALTY_FOR_MURDER"
