⚡️ Ah, behold #Voltair, the avian-inspired #drone that clings to power lines like a pigeon on a mission! Because clearly, the world was desperately waiting for flying toasters to sip electricity from our infrastructure. 🚁🔌 Welcome to the future—where drones have more landing options than a budget airline. 😂

A timeless classic, reimagined. Meet your new favorite screensaver for macOS.

A heartfelt homage to the cult-classic screensaver, this Flying Toasters love letter brings back the whimsy of the ’90s with a modern glow. With smooth animations, glossy reflections, and playful toasty details, it captures the humor and nostalgia of the original while adding a fresh artistic twist. More than just a screensaver, it’s a warm tribute that keeps the legend alive for a new generation.

Do you wax nostalgic about After Dark's Flying Toasters?

One slight correction: Jack and I jointly developed the original After Dark (nee Blank) prototype. He created the engine, and I designed the plugin API and initial modules. We’re still good friends. Although the product was modest by today’s standards, it led to a nearly 35+ year career that I’m very thankful for.
