Truly an honor and a privilege to have Matt and his son helping us at the museum! Join the newsletter and see what they helped with in our next update!
Just spent a couple of days with my son helping out at @bloopmuseum.bsky.social - something really exciting is being put together just outside Pittsburgh. Opening soon and if you're into retro stuff of any kind; video games and personal computing: check it out!

So saddened to lose Burger Becky, teller of stories, coder of games, ports, libraries. Becky was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma just 2 months ago. The gofundme was to help with her care; now it's for the funeral.

It sounds cliché, but one of the hardest things standing up a new museum location has been communication! Getting a hold of people on the phone is hard!

It's about to get lit ... "lit"erally!
Puns aside, this three-digit number of T8 LED bulbs will drop Bloop's lighting costs by 80~85%!

What do you think, should we mount a camera to capture the sunsets here?

Let's hear it for our volunteers who have been vacuuming and @nocturnalplant.bsky.social who has been running the rug doctor for nearly two days on the second floor. We're not realistically opening up there for two years... we just really really really want the new #museum building to be clean!

In the interests of data archival, preservation, and historical logs, has anyone tracked the absolutely massive number of terms of service and policy changes with online institutions in the past year or so?
