I write about the past, present, and future of technology across three sites. imapenguin.com explores retro computing and programming fundamentals, milkcrunch.com covers modern software development and engineering culture, and evadot.com examines commercial spaceflight and the new space movement.

- Happy Friday from peak computing. #commodore #VIC20
- My ideal cyberdeck
- I don’t understand the TV in the bathroom at restaurants thing but I’m at a taco place on Florida that has one. Princess Leia watching you pee is unsettling.
- Long tree searches on a Commodore 128. Some things are better explained and learned on older hardware. Easier to see what’s happening and feels less like magic.
- Traveling to Orlando this week for work. Want to be in the right mindset for the rest of 2022, so this new book is my theme for the week.
- I sold my airplane project and I feel really good about it. An enthusiastic guy outside of Charlotte bought it. I don’t subscribe to the “you must finish a book because you started it” type philosophy.
- Workout done before 6am, so might as well move to some light reading. Much of this book I practice every day already, but getting the basics right is always a good plan.
- I suppose it IS #septandy so I can spend 15 minutes this year with my Coco 2. Soon it’ll be #victober and all will be right with the world. Until then….
- It’s September, time for the annual reading of my second favorite book
- Why would they take a clean, natural, healthy food and turn it into an artificially flavored bastardization?
- Everyone doesn't teach CIDR notation with a C64? No? I'm the only one? Okay. #commodore
- Have you seen XX show?
- A month not tracked
- I’ve been using a modified version of Ryan Holiday’s notecard system for a week and it’s already transformative. Analog for the win.
- Details matter
- This book has Verilog and VHDL side by side in the examples. Super helpful. #fpga
- Been a while since of my episodes of “stupid races between old computery things“
- Haven’t read this one in a while. Oldie but goodie.
- Sometimes the Sunday project chooses you. New water heater since the old one tried to flood the basement. Basic dude stuff.
