I reached into my rat's nest cable drawer and immediately found the exact, ancient PS/2 adapter I needed for my Model M, which I haven't touched in over three years.

Yesterday my 3-year-old nephew asked my sister what the name of a dinosaur was. She told him, "I dunno, but I bet Uncle Michael does." She texted me.
It was my favorite dinosaur. I had a model within arm's reach on my desk.
It was the cutest freakin' moment ever.

Love the work you're doing here. But I have to hype up my browser bestie Vivaldi, which will shorten links in the URL bar if you hold Ctrl and click the relevant portion. I haven't seen this in standard Chrome.

Ever since the web started filling up with AI slop, I've been thinking of John Henry. The steam drill is finally coming for me.
So this weekend I went looking for John Henry's hammer in the local antique shops. And I put it on the wall above my workstation.
Happy swinging.
