In this William Geise illustrated ad, the title "Computer Graphics" appears up top, being cast from a giant Apple II monitor on an iceburg; the casts are a gradiant from purple to orange to yellow to green to blue to purple again, hewing towards neon tones. From the tan Amdek monitor flies a red biplane, a parachuting penguin, and a leaping unicorn; dolphins jump from the ice into the monitor. Around the iceberg, a sea otter peeks up, a penguin tap-dances, and a whale tale lifts a unicorn on a floe. The monitor is sitting on a giant Apple II. Down below, breathless text describes three different programming packages: "For the artist: Special Effects by David Lubar and Mark Pelezarski. Paint on your computer in over 100 colors with 96 different brushes!" "For the designer: The Complete Graphics System II by Mark Pelezarski. Everythign needed for computer-aided design." "For the programmer: The Graphics Magician by Mark Pelezarski, David Lubar, and Chris Joehumson. Add fast, smooth animation and hundreds of pictures to your programs." In the bottom left, the penguin software logo appears next to ordering information, with a sunfish floating to its left; at the very bottom it says, "All Penguin applications products are now on unprotected disks for your convenience."

just a section of the japan exhibit at bloop, featuring a famicom, sega mark 3, and more

three exhibits featuring acorns, tandy machines, s-100 bus machines, and some commodores in the distance

a wall of videogames at bloop museum, featuring over 30 game consoles

an island of IBM computer history, with more museum exhibits behind it

Going to #MAGFest? Not going because they sold out but you'll still be in the area? Stop by Bloop on the way to, from, or even during and check out some games with @inversephase.bsky.social - this will be the last MAGFest where you can visit the museum in its current location, we move in summer!

@livecodenyc.bsky.social (livecode.nyc) is based specifically in New York City. It's too soon to determine what compos #Demosplash2025 will have, but we accept remote submissions every year if you can't make it to Pittsburgh.

Was Prodigy an online service, a band, a rapper, a Pokémon series, a Star Trek series, or something else?

Since I have nothing (sorry, I meant *EVERYTHING*) to do on Thanksgiving, I'm premiering my talk from @demosplash.bsky.social on YouTube in ~2 hours (8pm EST):

Thanks for talking about Demosplash in this video! After all these years, seeing what people submit to the compos never gets old.

It's a wrap! Thanks to all volunteers, attendees, compo submitters, and sofa sceners for another successful Demosplash.
