RIP Diahann Carroll.  With her passing, all of the featured performers in "The Star Wars Holiday Special" (besides the core "Star Wars" cast) are dead.

IT'S NOT WOULD OF!

It's Triple Force Friday! What new Episode 9 Star Wars toys are you going to buy? Hurry! Before they are almost gone! 😏

According to the foreign Robocalls:  I'm wanted by the FBI, the CIA, my local Sheriff and Police Departments, The IRS, The Department of Homeland Security, My Windows 10 computer has been hacked, my Wells Fargo account has been hacked, my auto warranty has expired, and I've won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes.   Now, most of this is just untrue.

Why did the 5200(even the peripherals) have to be so big?

So apparently that whole overhyped Area 51 thing turned out to be a bust.  Big surprise.  https://time.com/5683230/area-51-basecamp-canceled/

I have finally beaten Alien Vs. Predator (Marine) without any maps or walkthroughs. Feeling like kind of a badass. #bugsoup

Princess Bride remake? Not sure who owns the rights to Princess Bride but it seems the rumors come from Sony, this is three times Sony has pissed me off this year. Sony can go f*** themselves.

"Humans" was cancelled after only three seasons. Bah!

Guess who just bought the entirety of Star Trek: TNG on vhs... this guy! 😎

A lot of AA birthdays today. Happy B Day folks.

I love Battlestar Galactica (1978), don't get me wrong.  But good lord has it not aged particularly gracefully.

I love Porg!  Porg chops, roast Porg, Porg and beans, pulled Porg, Porg loin, Porg shoulder, and my favorite...Porg jerky!  Mmm, Chewie!

The Atari 2600 was released 42 years ago, today.

Played some "Swordquest" this evening. Cool project. A movie should be made about players competing for the prize. 

Why was my last status update deleted? I had like over 20 notifications this morning and the status update was gone. Can't the mods just lock it instead of deleting? I wanted to catch up on what was going on.

Another world, another time, in the age of wonder. A thousand years ago, this land was green and good - until the Crystal cracked.

Thus far my experience with the retrocomputing communities at large, comprised of: 

(1) lots of users, who can't code.

(2) lots of developers who can't be bothered to help other developers.

Makes me question the sanity of doing a large project.

Why does everyone think Sonic Adventure 2 is so good? Nostalgia is one thing, but I think its no better than other recent Sonic games. Its so overrated that when people see a flaw in a modern Sonic game, they hate it. But then they forget that it was in SA2 as well.

I had the itch to grab an Intellivision, so that's what I did. I'm excited to dive into this console library.

Leveraging the electronics engineering and design experience I've earned over the past 35 years to improve the electronic gadgets that defined my youth.
