@caspercdn @daringfireball I think the snowglobe was a take on St Elsewhere https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Westphall

@Natasha_Jay I think looking like a pine cone is a coincidence though - these are from an area without pine cones that look like that

@Natasha_Jay was ready to be disappointed that this was AI-generated, but turns out it’s very real! Original source: https://www.reddit.com/r/whatsthisbird/comments/acujlv/we_brought_this_little_fella_in_and_need_some_id/edau6o4/

@mjtsai This one dude worked on:
- Apollo program
- Early RISC development at HP
- figured out how to make those DOS-compatible Macs like the 6100
- spearheaded the G3 system design as a skunkswork project - it was his idea to get IBM to include the backside L2 cache that made it so fast (1:22:26). Crazy story about Jobs almost cancelling the G3 at 1:34:38
- hooked up Nintendo and Foxconn
- lead development of Palm Pre system
- lead development of B&N's Nook reader

@mjtsai The comments on that first blog post from Bill Saperstein about his work on the G3 got me interested, and I found this super interesting interview with him at the Computer History Museum
