Apropos of nothing, here are some blackberry bushes flowering near my garden.

Trying to decide what I want to play this weekend. I think I've narrowed it down.

Have you *really* gotten to know your computer?

I have a Macintosh Portable carry-case which does NOT contain a Macintosh Portable and because of that, I suddenly has a sad.

Also, it's clearly meant to open this way up, so why did they place the Macintosh Portable label upside-down?

The Mac IIsi makes a pretty decent monitor stand.

When I'm feeling a lot of anxiety due to external forces, I find it helpful to play Solitaire or Mahjongg. Finishing a game somehow feels like I'm bringing order to chaos. Essential therapy.

I've been playing a lot of Mahjongg lately.
So. Much. Mahjongg.

If only we had more photos, we could turn this into a Mac carry-bag appreciation thread.

Take some time to appreciate the little things. I noticed a beautiful sunrise and snapped a quick pic.

I hope y'all have been having a great weekend. Rock on nerds!

I like snow, but this is becoming a bit of a problem. I present to you my back yard. The deck sits about 4 feet above ground. As I write this, it just started snowing again. Total whiteout.

The little thing I made *almost* works as-is on Apple IIgs, but sadly without the music. Does anybody know of any good tools for editing/managing AGI sound resources for the IIgs version of the agi interpreter?

Today I managed to carve out a path in the snow so we can make it to the outdoor whiz palace a little easier. (This post being more reto latrine-related than retro computing-related. Sorry, eh?)

We're expecting yet another dumping of snow later in the day, so I think I'll rest a bit to prepare for it. Maybe I can learn something from this book while I'm sitting here.

Just back from K-Mart. Bought some software application programs for a little weekend fun with my home microcomputer.

I'm still getting organized. Installed some more shelves! Got a favourite OS?

Sometimes when things seem too monochrome, I try to remember to look harder for the colourful things and make more effort to add just a bit of colour to the world myself.
