Watching Adrian begin to scope the amount of work he's got going on that Lisa's I/O board reminds me of the job I had to do a few years back where it was easier to just strip that corner of the board, remove the failing masking and replace traces and sockets as per the schematic.

@deviantollam.bsky.social thanks to your great talks I know what this jewel is for!
You might've ridden this elevator actually... and it's not in a hospital!

eBay biddings have arrived 🤩

2 out of 3 ain't bad :) despite some issues with the disk controller in one Daybreak #vcfwest is going well!

After some fussing, all my VCF West systems are cooperating 😎

I had the pleasure of being interviewed by David Greelish about my work. We discuss LisaGUI, our own experiences with the Lisa, and how UIs have changed over time.

Please give it a watch and share it!

The kinds of documents you can make on modern computers, like the Xerox Daybreak, are almost limitless!

Getting prepped for @vcfederation.bsky.social VCF west. Printed up some nice mouse pads!

Getting ready for #radwoodpnw

I'm using @celgen.org 's method for making KeyTronic keyboard foams. Double stick truck bed topper tape, and Mylar. Omit the mounting circle, just double stick them to the key sliders!

Some photos comparing the AppleColor 100 digital RGB monitor to a composite Tek / Sony display. The RGB display really looks great!!

Today is a very sad day for the Apple community

Bill Atkinson has died at the age of 74 😢

He was Apple employee number 51 & the principal designer & developer of the Lisa GUI. He was also among the first 30 members of the original Apple Macintosh development team. He was a true programing legend.🫡

Bill Atkinson was one of the most brilliant, imaginative, and compelling people I ever had the privilege to work with. His vision touched every device you use today. And his heart, his open love and humanity, exceeded all of that.

Behold the power tilt mechanism on the Apple RGB monitor.

I spy with my little eye... Rifa Madness 💥

Tried a couple Plus HardCards. One works well, the other is sad.

Washed my 88 Audi 5000. Cleans up nice for 280,000 miles! I do want to get it repainted... up close it's in rather poor shape.

So I guess I'm migrating here now, too 🙃
