My friend, Freddie Baer passed away.

In the 80s, I made collage art to abandon at book & music stores.

Before I met Freddie, she was sharing that work with art & political journals. I had no idea she was the reason my unsolicited works got published.

Freddie, I love & miss you.

Rebecca Hineman

Friend, colleague & video game legend, Rebecca Hineman has passed away. I won’t claim to have known Rebecca that well, but I remember hanging out with her & Allen Anderson in 91/92. It was early in my game career & her creative tech buzz was infectious and impacted my life. Rebecca you are missed.

While hanging out at @firemuseumpresents.bsky.social, a friend gave me a packet of image clippings.

In the 1980’s I worked as a printer, doing layout, cut n paste, making punk zines & flyers.

Ended up making 3 8.5x11 graphics.

So was there another founder other than Pat?

IDK, I thought he was working with/for Amazon and Unity or Unreal - haven't talked with him in years.

My friend Allen talks about our early days at Blizzard and working on the SNES Game Genie.

Been using CommodoreOS Linux/Debian for a couple months. So far I miss Adobe Photoshop - didn't realize how much I used it. Both email & internet/web browsing works well. I’ve got Cosmigo Promotion NG installed for pixel pushing. My Wacom One 13T is complaining, but basically works.

That being said, I really liked Pat. I tried to keep in touch after I left and later when he left for Amazon or wherever.

I'm not sure I (or anyone) saw him as an Art Director.

Actually that's right, I forgot to count Pat - duh. So you were 5 or 6. Who else worked there? I mean did you work with anybody?

IDK, but you were there before me...I always thought you were 4, 5 or 6.

1991 Blizzard Entertainment aka Silicon & Synapse.

1991 I was employee number seven at Blizzard Entertainment aka Silicon & Synapse. Wow, look at me, I actually had hair once - I'm not talking to you Joey Ray.

Thanks to @nisaxg.bsky.social this blast from the past.

Commodore OS 3

Tired of Windows AI nonsense, I’ve made way (back) to Linux. As a sort of acid test, I’ve reformatted my old MSI i7 laptop (that didn’t support Windows 11) and installed Commodore OS 3, forum.commodoreos.net a Commodore flavored Linux/Debian Distribution.

We were so young!
