Screenshot of a website served by my Macintosh SE/30, called the "Pumpkintosh". The text reads as follows:


Welcome to the PumpkinTosh
I am a clear case, amber CRT, orange LED infused SE/30!

I have:

    A 47MHz Booster 2.0 CPU from ZigZagJoe
    Synchr030/s Double Speed RAM card from YMKDevices
    ...and a BlueSCSI v2.0 with experimental firmware.

I'm all set up for #MARCHintosh 2026, so let's go!

It didn’t hurt that you’ve worked harder than most to build a community of talented creators and a backcatalog that is envy worthy.

@whalestorkgames.bsky.social has produced one of the darkest adventure games I have ever played. I don't really know what to think about it, but I will be thinking about it for a long time.

The only folks we really see doing crazy shit that aren't Agents (or other AI entities) are Morpheus, Trinity and Neo. I always assumed that there had to be others.

Those three can't be on call 24 hours a day. I mean, there are raves to attend!!

I’ve often wondered if the folks that got released from the Matrix were all able to do some of the things like Morpheus and Trinity do when they’re back in the Matrix. Like can you even imagine the old guy that was talking to Neo about how the water filtration system works doing a flying bird kick?

The "path forward" is to stop trying to circumvent Article II of the US Constitution and to start writing refunds checks for your illegal tariffs.

When this week's guest was first interested in computers, a cold war separated him the technology that would shape the rest of his life. The world changed and @p1xelcoder.bsky.social went on to contribute to some of the best adventure games and platformers of a generation!

Supreme Court strikes down Trump’s sweeping tariffs, upending central plank of economic agenda The Supreme Court has struck down President Donald Trump’s far-reaching global tariffs, handing him a significant loss on an issue crucial to his economic agenda.

It's great to hear that Article II of the US Constitution is still a thing. Now, bring on the lawsuits against the administration for bankrupting small businesses with illegal tariffs.

I've been diving deep into analog computingβ€”working on pieces of a kind of hobbyist-grade analog computer. (The way I like to learn a thing is to build a thing.)

(If anyone is interested, I've begun documenting in this Google Group: groups.google.com/g/analog-com...)

Nor did I say you threatened Clint.

Several sets of silicone rubber button membranes laid out in front of a PicoIDE device that has the buttons installed in it

Look what came in the mail πŸ‘€
It’s samples of the molded silicone rubber buttons and LED light pipe for PicoIDE! They look and feel great to use. I’m working on improving the color match (just need to find my Pantone book…)

You made a public comment, therefore, it is subject to fair public scrutiny.

If you did not like the fact that people might comment on it, you should’ve exercised the self-control to have not made it.

Mind my business? Mind your β€œsmall” business.

Your post above is worded in a manner to seemingly indicate that your comment was made privately.

So you are upset at me because you could not restrain yourself to respond strictly privately to the person that posted a video was set to be privately viewed?
