Too long a haul for me, but that's pretty cool.
Technically commemorates a bigunit, but is not one itself.
A terrible computer picked up at VCF East
alt text
a small white plastic computer with a green keyboard. It is labelled "IQ 8300" but is sitting on a manual that is titled "PC 8300"
I picked up this not-quite-compatible clone of the ZX81 / Timex-Sinclair 1000 at VCF East in Wall Twp, NJ over the weekend.
It's variously known as a Lambda 8300 or Your Computer PC 8300. It is quite terrible and I love it.
VCF East was great until some arsehole called in a bomb threat on Sunday afternoon

Knowing nothing of any of these things I am curious what makes it terrible and why that is endearing
Yes, do tell...
Fun. I've only read about using cassettes.

[Personal] Magnolias for my ex
alt text
Watercolour of pink magnolias on a dark purple background.
Last September, I met at a woman through a dating site. On the first zoom call she told me that a week before we met up she'd been diagnosed with breast cancer and that I was allowed to run away.
Now I don't run away from stuff like that, and we very very quickly got into a very intense relationship. One month in, she started chemotherapy and things went downhill between the two of us. We split up in December. It wasn't very nice. She now has finished chemo, had one breast removed and is recovering - although it's officially stage four so the long-term prognosis isn't good.
But we stayed in touch, albeit at a distance. Tomorrow I'll be seeing her for the first time in months. I'm having lunch with her, together with a good mutual friend. The friend asked me if I would make a drawing for my ex so we could give it to her with a message. So this is what we're going to give her tomorrow. (top and bottom edge cut off so it's really straight and kind of nice at double postcard size.)

That’s gorgeous.
good luck; i hope it goes well.
i know it's tough navigating these things, especially when you're balancing empathy for an ex and protecting yourself at the same time.
beautiful work, by the way. i think she'll really appreciate it

some very *mature* snickering over here, if you know what I mean. And I think you do.
(If not, I mean Im mature, as in age, and I snickered, because I'm a litte randy)

less efficient machines

A four-panel Calvin and Hobbes comic strip from 1995. Calvin's dad sits at his home computer and says, "It used to be that if a client wanted something done in a week, it was considered a rush job, and he'd be lucky to get it. Now, with modems, faxes, and car phones, everybody wants everything instantly! Improved technology just increases expectations. These machines don't make life easier - they make life more harassed." In the last panel, Calvin is depicted holding a box and says, "Six minutes to microwave this?? Who's got that kind of time?!" His dad then says, "If we wanted more leisure, we'd invent machines that do things _less_ efficiently."

People tend to get the point being made here, but don't realize that the position that AI is going to push us all into involuntary leisure is inconsistent with it.

A purse, constructed to resemble a payphone. Sitting on a kafehaus couch, with various cushions.
You left your purse on the kafehaus couch.
Is that a leather purse?
Looks like a British busman’s fare machine
I think it is a purse designed to look like a payphone.

A stylized illustration of a poster for The Big Lebowski. The top and bottom suggest it is a rug. Center is The Dude dancing in his robe with his White Russian listening to head phones. Around him is a pattern of viking helmets and bowling pins. At the top and bottom are squares of relevant things to the movie such as a toe, shades, bowling ball, and a ferret.
I ~love~ Pam Wishbow's work. Currently mourning the unavailability of this poster.

More reflections from the coffee place. The antique glass changes things. The storm breaking up, leaves fresh washed skies, getting into things.

Movie poster: "Marihuana: Weed with Roots in Hell".

It always has been in its way.
I haven't been following and missed that Olivia Jaimes retired from the strip last year, good to see Caroline is continuing the high quality
@wjcstp People seem to think that Jaimes maybe published a book under her real name (which I've already forgotten) and no longer had time to do the comic.

Me in shades
My favorite glasses are too big. And my progressive prescription is way to intense, to allow for good tintig options or conventional clip-ons, so I'm designing my own. This is fourth or fifth version
Nice image with the reflections.

A cartoon by Robert Ariail. In the first panel a man looks up at a sign that says "GAS $4.009". In the next panels he gets a ladder and takes down the numbers and rearranges them into a bicycle and bikes away.
