I was away for a weekend and I determined now to start filtering job searches into its own folder because this is just nuts.

Yesterday, I was lucky to be able to spend a couple hours at the Connections Museum with Sarah Autumn.

I had a stupid grin on my face the entire time!

Even after a couple hours, we just barely scratched the surface of what's there. It's unbelievably awesome.

Me and Sarah at her favorite spot in the museum. This is used by technicians to diagnose and fix issues within the switches. Sarah explaining how the entirely electro mechanical sender works This video phone works and is from 1970! Needless to say it was a huge flop but you could make video calls.

I had a blast hanging out at the Interim Computer Museum Saturday night. There were a bunch of things I had never seen in my life.

Thanks @celgen.org for being my model!

Punch card sorting machine. Quite mesmerizing! The Thinking Machine is a sight to behold. This PDP has a few faults at the moment, some stuck memory bits I think. Stuff I've never seen in my life.

And somehow I am now on a list with the CBSA. Is it a bad list? No idea. 🤪

The border guard recognized me as “the guy with the clean old station wagon full of old computers” and had apparently processed me in 2024 because again, how to declare value on this stuff.

No issues getting home. 👍

Thank you to Mike Brutman as well for loaning me his Xircom parallel Ethernet adapter and a floppy disk setup with his DOS TCP stack so that I could demo an IRC client running on one of the GRiD’s as well!

Day 1 is well underway and the tables are looking great! Don’t forget that the Interim Computer Festival is also tomorrow if you can’t make time before 6pm today!

Thank you to Josh and the Seattle Retro Computing Society for loaning me some of their own GRiD laptops and a printer to salvage most of my table for the show!

It’s 2am and I had to abandon my exhibit at a friend’s place in Vancouver but I finally made it to Seattle. X-x

I’ll see you all at the show tomorrow……er, in a few hours.

I’m not even selling anything! They just want a bonded list of everything I’m bringing down so they can tell it’s coming back and it’s value. How the hell do I value 40 year old laptops where the only listed value is eBay? That’s like grading a car based on the price at Bring a Trailer.

Welp.
I had trouble with this while driving to VCFmw in 2024 but I won’t be able to make it to the Interim Computer Festival tomorrow because the border thinks I’m trying to sell a table of laptops.

It’s almost 9pm, the brokers are closed and I don’t have a printer. This is stupid.

Likewise, someone tell the rock station that Van Halen made more than two songs.

The Weekend I’m sure makes good music but when the other stations can only license one of his songs and play it six times a day, I’m willing to bias opinions and say you suck and so does your awful use of AutoTune.

I like how in a place like Kamloops with a rock station , pop station, a country station and a tri-decade classic music station, the AM radio station is the only holdout for a remotely good variety of music. Two Depeche Mode songs this morning alone from different albums.

Optionally, it’s an MP3 player from 2003.

Either I’ve been chosen to save the world from an unspeakable evil, or I’m about to flash the firmware on a note reader.
Someone had fun designing this.

Depending on the scan resolution about 120 cards a minute give or take.

I don't know who's going GRiD crazy like that.
That's like, half my paycheck right there someone paid for a floppy drive.

You were looking at that too? It went insane in the last 15 seconds.
