As a little kid in the late 70s, this was my introduction to computers. I never actually programmed in #FORTRAN, but this taught me variables, arrays, int vs float, conditionals, loops, etc.

Bánh tét from my fave Cambodian market & Vietnamese coffee. Fantastic.

My favorite version of Cabaret, 1993.

I make things. CNC router, C & vi. Graphite & nice exotic hardwoods.

House meeting.

The Bauhaus shelf in my library. Heh.

A slice of lime, and the setup I used. I built a user interface box to control the industrial camera.

I do a lot of photography for a computer museum in the US. This is core memory from a PDP-10. The system has six cabinets of core!
