I've been thinking of starting a monthly-ish Philly area retro computing meetup. Any ideas where I could host it?

Frankenmac for attention

To whoever picked up our iMac from the free pile at vcfmidwest, we hope you make good use out of it! Don’t miss the free coupon we tucked away inside as well as some other hidden goodies 👀

Big shout-out to Sean / Action Retro, who not only makes fantastic YouTube videos, but also now offers the ultimate shirt for my regular spelunking expeditions to our local electronics recycler!

I had a Totally Normal encounter with @actionretro.bsky.social at #VCFMW. And got to meet a bunch of other great folks into retro and vintage computers! Can't wait until next year...

Oh no :( maybe if we compare notes we could suss something out, because my views seem to have gone slightly *up* during this period!

Sooooo my vintage-computer-themed band (with Action Retro and The Taylor and Amy Show) just put out our first record.

We're called "The Stop Bits" and the EP is called "Return From Interrupt."

It happens to be Bandcamp Friday. It happens to be $5.

My latest newsletter is about how Big Tech killed the concept of ownership, in the process turning consumers into digital serfs.
