I like old computers, making things, science, math, and science fiction.

Currently making something new at https://www.nipht.io. Helped create Google Reader.

Oh no!
Funny Google Translate bug: if you translate the French word "bourse" into English, the translation is misspelled!

Finally received my ZX Spectrum Next.

Does the magsafe connector on the new #MacBookPro lineup carry data in addition to power? For example, is it possible to have a dock that uses only this connector, and supplies not only power in but also video-out and Ethernet connectivity?
A difficult choice.

Something pretty sus about these high scores.

They go on like this as far as I bothered to scroll. (2,147,483,647 = 2^31 -1)

A bit of a funny coincidence that we have CamelCase and snake_case, and Perl and Python's O'Reilly books use those animals on their covers.

Is that... B'Elanna Torres?

This "no results" image in Google Photos seems like such a... placeholder.

It looks more like a metronome or a weird stylized bird than what I think it's supposed to be.
