S naší historickou zkušeností může Rusku cokoli věřit jen naprostý hlupák.
Radiační situace na Ukrajině zůstává normální.
Today I made quite a long journey by public transport from Berlin to Teltow in Brandenburg to visit https://www.flipperhalle.de/. And it was definitely worth it.

Yesterday I re-visited @computerspielemuseum in Berlin after 5 years. My time budget was limited, so I went directly to the highlights: the arcade(s) and the attics (unfortunately I have no pictures of them). As usual I practiced Asteroids, but didn't beat my top score from Krakow.

With 29 hours to go, Kickstarter has decided that we are a 'Project We Love'. We ask you to support us. With unique rewards such as lifetime access to the world's largest interactive computer museum or an exclusive tour by our CEO.

The tour can be conducted both on-site and at home via webcam, in English or Dutch.

Help us reach the goal, help us become the museum the IT world needs. Help us preserve and make this beautiful history available for the future.

Visited Krakow with kids and spent one day in the Krakow Video Game Museum and even accidentally spotted Mr. Kim Cannon Arm there. The other day we went to the Krakow Pinball Museum. I improved my personal Asteroids high score a bit and enjoyed playing the Bride of Pin-bot and Adam's Family pins.

Here's one of the LVA510 (PAL encoder IC) failure modes: completely missing chroma from the output composite video signal. #MSX
I am debugging a problem with my Mattel Aquarius and needed some sort of a cartridge breakout board. I found this project on GitHub and had it manufactured by AISLER in Germany. The 3 PCBs were for EUR 20.52 in total including free untracked shipping. Try to beat this, China :-)
Saw two episodes from the Loki TV series and can't stop thinking about the lovely 70's-looking TVA premises.
