I thought the Super Mario Bros Game & Watch would be an overpriced toy that I put in a drawer. I was not prepared for how wrong I was. This is a perfect grab and go toy with multiple levels of engagement, a fidget toy during meetings and a casual game between meetings.

A short tutorial on opening the #c256foenix FMX case. It is quite serviceable but there are a few things to note. For starters, the panels on top provide access to the JTAG ports, DIP switches, and RTC battery with tiny Philips-head screws, if that’s all you need. (1/n)

My Foenix has arrived! c256foenix.com

I have to gush a bit about the @remarkablepaper e-ink tablet. This is the first digital tablet I’ve ever used with paper-like performance, and it’s a game changer for me for notetaking and visual ideation.

Programming Google App Engine with Java/Python (2015), extra author copies. Anyone want one? I can sign them, but I can’t keep them. [Edit: They’re gone!]

What’s this? It’s the BeamRacer video enhancement for the Commodore 64 by Mad Hackers Lab (@beam_racer)! Let’s try putting it in my C64C… (thread)

I got a new Commodore 64! … Or did I? Whatever can this be? (photo thread)

The Commander X16 modern 8-bit computer in a retro style is not yet for sale, but a WASD Keyboard PC keyboard for it is! This is quite simply a WASD PC keyboard (similar to the one I use every day) with Commodore-like keycap glyphs, but that’s useful for X16 and C64 emulators!

Finally getting around to a common Commodore 64 project: putting an Ultimate 64 in a modern pressing of the C64C case. I have a broken “breadbin” that can volunteer a working keyboard with dark (brown) keys…

I’m late on this but: the RetroFlag GPi is fantastic. Finally put one together last night. Best build quality, easiest assembly, delightful design, RaspPi based, built-in soft shutdown, runs #pico8, uses included USB-DC power or 3 AA batteries. retroflag.com/GPi-CASE.html
