It's actually bad luck to say MacBook inside an office. You have to call it 'the Scottish Laptop'

Myst is "moody, magical, and filled to the brim with mysterious mechanisms..."

It's also the latest subject of our Why I Love series of developer-penned pieces, with this one contributed by Andy Cargile of Smart Technologies

@lowqualityfacts dialogue-swap all of the comics so that Wally has Alice's dialogue, Alice has Dilbert's, and the PHB has Wally's.

And then any time Dilbert has a speaking role, replace it with the words "kung pow penis"

the mood this morning: this photograph is ten years old, but it'll never not strike me how moody a place can be when it's fogged in and devoid of people

I've just archived a bunch of clip art GIFs and other web graphics, complete with a HTML frontend, from one of my clip art CDs. If anyone's currently making an old-school #Website or #Homepage, feel free to have a poke around and see if there's anything you can use.

musings on shitty racist comic strip artist 

in retrospect we really should have seen scott adams' shittiness years ago, considering that, in 1996, this was how he responded to criticisms about his comic's sexist and stereotypical portrayal of women

New on the Secret Area: GameTek's last hurrah.

I cover their last game show games, which of course, are Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune on the Nintendo 64.

Likes, shares, and comments appreciated, as always.

Very cool to see classic Mac robot coding game @chipwits is getting rebooted with one of its original creators at the helm. ChipWits was a big for its day, and a major influence on the Mac gaming scene in the 1980s. (I covered its creation in Secret History of Mac Gaming, if you want to know more.) Here's how it looked the first time around, and a link to the website to check out the new version: https://chipwits.com/

this morning i was looking for a copy of Klause Breuer's windows 95 conversion of ChipWits (a very popular programming game for the original #Macintosh), and was sorrowed to hear that he passed away ten years ago of a brain tumour 😒

it took several hours, but I managed to dig out several of his programs, including ChipWits, from the waybackmachine. To my knowledge, none of these programs have been on the web for over a decade.

i spent the day creating a memorial for a programmer whom i did not know personally, but used his software over a decade ago. i guess i hope that people can still enjoy his work even though he has left us.

... a kind of #worldwideweb #homepage in memoriam.
