I got the need. The need to stream! It's been a while but in honor of #MARCHintosh, I'm fiddling around with the PowerMac 7100 tonight, starting at 8 PM CT.
I'll be checking out some ports of popular games. See you there!

Seeing this in 3D in a huge theater blew me away. It's still one of my favorites, such a shame what they did to it and how the marketing failed it... it would have been fun to see more of these. I'm glad I still have my 3D blu-ray.
I donβt take part in things like #marchintosh anymore, but hereβs the video I released 5 years ago

I was originally going to call the video "Dye Another Day", but was concerned that people would say ACTUALLY the ribbon uses pigment, and then I'd have to explain that I was just trying to make a James Bond joke which would lead to a 20 minute conversation about George Lazenby.

I sure as heck did after this!

Itβs open source so someone can craft a full size SD card version for sure. π

It's sooo cool, seeing the PicoIDE in Mac OS X. Here's a Power Mac G4 (Quicksilver) running 10.4.11 with the PicoIDE set to IDE (hard drive) mode. It sees the drive fine and will even boot to it! π
Video coming soon!

I put together this video for last year's #MARCHintosh. The caps in my ImageWriter II/L (the last in the line... more RAM, plus a switching PSU) finally gave up.
If you're a similar situation, check out my video:

This is wonderful! π
Dare I ask if you have any plans to update the weather detail? Even if manually from a text field or file, etc. π€οΈ That's the only thing that really bugged me about my physical Maclock.
Many thanks to @engineersneedart.com for this entertaining discussion about the Macintosh classic Pararena!

The insides of an InageWriter II dot matrix printer with a PCB inside - thatβs the ImageScribbler card.
Want a hardware-y way to get your ImageWriter II up on #GlobalTalk in time for #MARCHintosh? Last year I reverse engineered Appleβs LocalTalk option card and made the design available, naming it ImageScribbler: github.com/polpo/images...
and pre-built ones are for sale: jcm-1.com/product/imag...
A distorted CRT image of a Molar Mac with a bad connection.
Poor screenshot of said Molar Mac:
Ouch! My G3 Molar Mac did that, turns out one of the primary voltage /video signals had a cracked solder joint. My friend also had a similar issue on his Molar Mac where I think it was the 12V line that was cracked. Good luck!
Instead of turning a clock into a vintage Mac, I turned a vintage Mac into a clock!, I though it would be fun given its #MARCHintosh The program can be downloaded here: github.com/retrotheory/...
It supports US/EU month day order AM/PM, Invert display, 'grey' background and alarm function
Love it! π
