The puck crossing the goal line after Megan Keller's overtime goal to win the women's hockey gold medal for the United States. The photo is taken from inside the net.
this shot of the game-winning goal from the women's hockey finals is just remarkable.

A comic in an old timey style. Showing a gentleman talking to a device about using it.
This actually isn't good! Phones only show you horrors when they're VERY DEPRESSED, or at any other time.

Tandy 102, $99.00

Photo of a Tandy 102 Portable Computer in a glass case, surrounded by its letherette pouch, floppy disk with $99.00 pricetag, and manuals. The Tandy 102 is a single-piece computer with a full-size keyboard, chicklet-sized function keys, and an 8x80 character monochrome LCD display. The computer is significantly yellowed from age and probably sun exposure. With luck the battery compartment is not encrusted from corroding alkaline batteries.
I'm old enough to have wanted a Tandy 100 when they were new. The 102 version was lighter, slimmer, and had more installed RAM. Nowadays though an old iPad does all that and more with considerably less bulk.
The pricetag is a thing, too, this was in the ballpark of $1100 back in the mid-1980s, which is nearer to $4k in 2026 dollars. You can get an iPad and a lot of accessories for four grand. And these days Radio Shack effectively doesn't exist and nobody remembers when they didn't suck (or, at least, that they sold stuff that didn't suck in addition to the stuff that did suck).
Was tempted to buy this one anyway. This would probably be better for my creativity, ADHD-wise. I even have an old USB floppy drive for copying the data off to a modern computer. Can't justify having more crap around tho', I should be decluttering.

@MackReed I wasn't in journalism, but I was writing a lot and the idea of being able to do so anywhere I sat down (rather than at the desk where my C64 and nominally-portable manual typewriter lived) was so damned appealing. Compaq and Kaypro were shipping "portables" (that weighed upwards of 10 lb or more) but this was like a single-purpose ultraportable that just couldn't be beat for the basic task of writing. In some ways it still can't, it's way more efficient to use than a folding laptop or a two-piece tablet + keyboard set.
iirc this had a whole (by 1986 standards) built-in office suite of word processor and spreadsheet, it was a pretty serious piece of kit.

I’ve probably mentioned this before but this was the first company-issued computer I used in my newshound days. I’d sit through some interminable little township board meeting in rural Connecticut, bang out my story about whatever boring thing they decided and then hie me to a pay phone with a pocketful of quarters. I’d have to connect by dialing the filing line, waiting for the modem screech and then plug the ear-end of the handset into a rubber cup wired to the TRS-80. Minutes would pass while I waited for the LCD screen to confirm that the story was sent, and then I’d get on the phone with my editor to answer questions and confirm his edits.

@ardgedee ah yes, the “luggables.” My next portable was a Kaypro II, affectionately known as “Darth Vader’s lunchbox.”

Bedford Borough Council tyers of this sort of nonsense
I love matter-of-fact pwns from municipalities. I'm just imagining the person who manages the Facespace or Twatter account or whatever this is from smirking as they find themselves typing out that the Bedford Borough Council.... was not responsible for the creation of the moon.
Ha ha ha, maybe "moon," the verb.

Full deco dining room set that Andrea found on Marketplace...
Because moving my stuff back from Chicago wasn't enough of a workout, *while we were in transit* from the midwest she found this set with a very motivated dealer behind it. We got this piece, a sideboard and a table and chairs for $500, delivered.
There are a smattering of blemishes here and there(the table is a bit more beat up than the photos indicated) but for the most part it's pretty pristine. Single owner. Taken out of a second floor apartment in Arlington, MA. The only place it ever lived since the 40s.

NEVER WORN Vintage 80s Apple Computer Rainbow Logo Corduroy Hat Cap Collection - Picture 1 of 12
i usually don't like weaving corporate branding into my nostalgia, but man do i sometimes have a soft spot for the rainbow-era apple computers merch. every so often i'll add an outrageously-priced piece of 80s apple merch to my watchlist, just because.
i'd absolutely wear a $30 modern knockoff of this cap daily.
listing via eBay:

"the apple collection" the ebay seller cites in their description is the 1986-87 merch catalog, archived here:

Giving me flashbacks to the Red Light Runner store back in the day....
I used to have an official Clarus the Dogcow shirt, because I used to work with and around Apple stuff a lot back in the day. I wish I still had it and I'd be appalled to see what it's worth now.

Three dollars.
Same as in town.
I love taking a packet of cheap ramen and jazzing it up. A splash of sesame oil, a scoop of spicy chili crisp, an egg, a little sliced bbq pork, some green onions, maybe a bit of radish... heck yeah

I say "made me what I am" often, but this made me what i am.
I was living in a very small cultural desert after being in the periphery of the SF punk scene in 80 as a teen when this hit cable. I patched my tv into my boom box so I could record it.
It was everything.
I've been listening to/watching bits of it recently. It will hold up. Just heard Au Pairs on my walk this morning.
The Gang of Four is celestial. I idolized it. Everything about it. I am still impressed I didn't lose my shit when I met one the performers.

About every third time I feel a back pain or something else that makes me 'urgh' out loud I'll quietly add, 'a music war'. So yeah, this lives rent free in my head

Injured my back. Made an animate.
Sorry to hear that! Back stuff sucks.
Like the animation, not the back injury.
I empathize on the back pain. I don't have the skill to animate......kudos to you for creating through the pain.

Notes of today's meeting #60

A two hour meeting for our plans for making a podcast about people with disabilities, for people with disabilities, and by people with disabilities. We are finally making strides now a new person has joined the team.
II did have to explain to her that me making drawings during these meetings is not a sign of boredom, but actually a way for me to pay better attention.
@mare and I decided that the first drawing features Penny and Veto.

Holy shit. Just wow.
My father died unexpectedly at 72. He had 7 years of retirement. This is a reminder.
I'm spending Sunday at the movies to watch all of the academy award shorts. It's a marathon, but it's almost always time well spent.

Closeup of a The Simpsons animation. A somewhat off-brand Philly Phantic is in the foreground. Behind him is a man with luxurious long hair parted in the middle and a full beard, his hands raised over his head. He's wearing a kelly-green jacket which looks a bit like an Eagles Starter jacket.

Second-generation Philadelphia sportswriter Dan McQuade, a seemingly universally-beloved Philly institution, died last month of neuroendocrine cancer at 43. This is the story of how friends of his who work on The Simpsons scrambled to give him a cameo in an episode set in Philly that aired less than three weeks after his death. (He was jamming with Gritty and the Phanatic at a the Roots concert.) The jacket is based on an Eagles jacket he wore, as well as plausibly a reference to this great McQuade story: https://defector.com/princess...

> In a town where you haven't made your bones until a regular WIP listener calls in during afternoon drive and says you suck, Dan would have taken such an epithet and said without a moment's bother, "Of course I do. We all do. That's why we've stayed." It's how Dan could find the truth behind the love-to-hate/hate relationship with his teams, and simultaneously have a deep emotional relationship with its broader band of weirdos, ne'er-do-wells and folks who say you suck without provocation and whose right to do so you fight to protect. He left us all in a better place for having known him with the things he said, wrote, did, and was. If that means, as an act of McQuadian solidarity, we must all admit that we suck too, it's only because he would have pulled us aside to show us the compliment lurking behind the words, like the true son of Billy Penn he was.
