Hey. Apples. Makin’ copies! #appleii

Hey what’s in the box? Well. It’s what it says it is. An Apple 3.5 drive for the #appleiigs in absolutely beautiful shape. And it works! #appleii.

This is a Tangy Pack for the Apple IIc line. It hooks onto the back of the computer, outputs VGA or HDMI and has buttons for scan lines, borders, and monochrome. Impressive as hell #appleii #apple #appleiic

Okay, if I can't sell my CGA monitor at a reasonable price I might try to make this adapter (was trying to sell my monitor/video-7 card/JCM-1 RGB adapter at #VCFEast consignment, but only the adapter sold). Moving soonish, so I'm slowly parting with things I would otherwise keep.

Hey there, fellow retro-tech nerds! The @mediaarchaeologylab has posted its open call for practitioners-in-residence in the lab for the next season, which begins in September. Submit your proposal by May 15!

Please boost for reach.

https://mediaarchaeologylab.ghost.io/practitioner-in-residence-open-call/

The theme for the 2025/2026 residency is Counter Computing: Alternative Imaginaries.

Lab director Lori Emerson describes it this way: "We are interested in any form of artistic and/or scholarly practice that engages counter-computational practices, such as glitching, hacking, tinkering, queering, subverting, (un)making and (re)imagining. Through such experimentation, we encourage you to explore how our relation to (and imagination of) technology can be remade to envision alternative pasts, presents and futures."

The lab is asking interested parties to submit a proposal for an up-to-4-week residency that includes full access to the lab and its resources, and logistical support. Residents are expected to produce a public lecture, demo, video, performance, or exhibition as part of the residency. Examples of previous technical reports can be seen at https://mediaarchaeologylab.com/projects

Get to it, my peeps! We'll see you in the lab starting in the fall.

My Apple II emulator is near perfection

My table at #VCFEast - well, my table at consignment anyway. Multiple people (like me) brought stuff this evening, so there will be new things to buy tomorrow (it's been difficult resisting, there was a lot of cool stuff today and I expect I'll take a look again tomorrow).

I do feel a bit sad of letting that Tandy CM-5 go, I hope someone will have fun using it.

Consignment win: Epson LX-80 dot matrix printer in the free pile!

Now I have parts for my other one that I use with my Apple IIe.
