Comfortably NumbAnd speaking of riding
Just got this cool stationary bike, it has bluetooth connection built-in, so it's perfect for riding in Holofit on Quest 2.
"You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"
- me, riding my rower in Holofit.
It's been a long road getting from there to here.
I've seen quite a few VR fitness apps, but I think Holofit takes the cake.
This happens on a bike ride in San Francisco.
Ironically, many years later, when nostalgia kicked in I recreated some of the games I did for Vector on Fitbit series of smartwatches in JavaScript/SVG.
(pictured here "Cannonade" - a version of classic cannon shooter, and "Letterfall" - a take on Bookworm games)
But my actual real first computer was this beauty.

Countless hours coding in BASIC and then assembly, so much fun!
How is this for retro-computing?
This is Elektronika MK-61: a Soviet RPN programmable calculator from 1980s. 15 memory registers, 5 stack registers, 105-step memory for the program.
Had so much fun with it in high school - and it still works! In this video I enter the program that generates pseudo-random numbers.
