Selena the Retro-PrincessThe new Virtual Boy stands lack the metal bumps to align with guide holes because there are no such holes in the new VB.
This means the new stand works with the old Virtual Boy, but the old stand won't work with the new one.
(Interestingly you can see where the holes WOULD be on the new accessory)

Harry McCrackenVery sorry to hear about the death of Aldus founder Paul Brainerd, the giant who gave us PageMaker and the desktop publishing revolution that followed. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, I used PageMaker to put together my animation fanzine, which led directly to my career in tech journalism. RIP.

Richard MossPeter Cartwright, the creator of beloved classic Mac game Escape Velocity: Override, has died. He'd been working for years on a remaster called Cosmic Frontier with help from a fellow called Tom Hancocks, who vows to push through and finish the game in his memory. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cosmicfrontier/cosmic-frontier-override/posts/4589101

Tom ForsythTo my trans folks. I'm so sorry these assholes have decided to single you out for just trying to live your lives. It's a disgusting attack on a person's simple right to exist. I hope one day we bring them all to account - no tolerance for intolerance. Trans rights are human rights. Love you all.
jwzIt has come to my attention that the artwork for the original mozilla.org "dinosaur" logo is not widely available online. So, here it is.
As I explained in some detail in my 2016 article "They Live and the secret history of the Mozilla logo", I commissioned this artwork from Shepard Fairey to use as the branding of the newly-founded mozilla.org and our open source release of the Netscape source code, which eventually became Firefox. This happened in March 1998...
