Hello all! I lost my steady gig a year ago, projects from my network are running out, and I need a job.

I’ve worked as an iOS dev for 15 years on cool apps like Camera+, but also building and running web and backend systems. Objective-C/Swift, but also TypeScript/next.js, PHP/WordPress, whatever fits the job!

I can work remote globally or locally in Japan (have PR)

Resume, Portfolio, LinkedIn etc are all at https://kalleboo.com/me

Karl Baron - Business Card

I'm interested in commissioning an #artist to make some "box art" for a fictional 1980s home computer video game. The game is about a heist in a San Francisco office, and I'm envisioning a montage showing various heisty / officey things. The game is not commercial, it is educational software produced as part of a research project -- but I obviously expect to pay the artist.

I'm interested in vintage-looking artwork in the style of 1980s game box art. I'm not interested in AI-generated art. If you're interested, please reach out! If you're curious, please boost!

It's the most wonderful time of the year: #525FloppyDay! I love using floppy disks as a medium to plot on as well as a subject of my pen plots.

Here's a selection of 5.25" floppy disk plots available in my shop =)

I've been thinking about acquiring an original Polaroid SX-70 instant camera. I love the design of it, the way it folds flat and the nostalgia of the format.

Anyone have first-hand tips on what to look for (at least visually) when shopping for a vintage SX-70?
