Combining several 80s programming books and magazines with 5 or 6 of @8BitShowAndTell ‘s video walkthroughs to really accelerate my Assembly skills. Zero to being able to prototype in 3 months. Backgrounds, BCD scores, sprites, joystick and keyboard inputs all at once now. #c64

Phone apps are cool I guess, but I’ve always been a hardware device person. These make regular rotations on my desk. Hat tip to my son for the mechanical stopwatch.

Persistence paying off

My sprites sorta look like my Zenith, not bad for the first crack at it. #commodore #c64 #myzenith750

Might as well put a Commodore in the airplane… screen design concept #1…

The new video series has been in production while on my “break” (I’ve never been good at breaks anyway). I’ve forgotten how long post-production takes even with great tools. Anyway, very pleased so far.

My Color Maximite 2 and Raspberry Pi 400 are sharing this 8 inch screen now. Perfect setup for both machines and doesn’t take up a ton of room.

How do you feel about snow Elli? I ate some.

Feel a little like Ralphie this morning. Merry Christmas

I haven’t been able to get over the USB-C only ports on my MacBook. Seems like a good idea on the drawing board, but practically it’s a mess. God forbid you want to use your laptop in your lap AND plug in an SD card at the same time. #willibreakittoday

For #doscember my favorite DOS software is STSPlus by the late Dave Ransom. This was a fixture on my computer screen for many years. Still works ;)
