B Zotto 💪🤪🤳🏼

Final book jacket design for my upcoming history of Sphere computers. Looks fab. The book can as of now still be pre-ordered via the Kickstarter campaign's "late pledges." https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bzotto/go-computer-now-the-story-of-sphere

Most people call it EGA and VGA but real Californians say “the” EGA and the VGA

@mwichary@mastodon.online oh wow I am looking forward to whatever you share from your visit. Love that era/type of tech and I know they do good work there (like actually repairing irreplaceable CRT tubes, incl re-evacuating them )

@mwichary@mastodon.online FYI I haven't been here yet, but I've had it bookmarked for next time I'm in Ohio: https://www.earlytelevision.org/museum.html

@mwichary@mastodon.online Amazing list (have bookmarked for myself). My grandparents lived down the road from the Marconi station on Cape Cod which has a little museum https://www.chathammarconi.org

@msherr@fediscience.org And even if it is, it seems like a crummy kind of gift ("I'm bringing some gold, what did you get him? ... Oh, some gum-resin from the Commiphora tree. Inappropriate, bro.")

@spacehobo@teh.entar.net @larsbrinkhoff@mastodon.sdf.org @mwichary@mastodon.online thank you guys for this! Also the potential connection to the sun character is so interesting.

@larsbrinkhoff@mastodon.sdf.org @mwichary@mastodon.online Lars since you know LINC well can you tell me the meaning of the shifted key character (and font character) that looks like this? Couldn’t quite suss it out from doc scans.
