  • I started out in a big iron shop in the 90s. I was in charge of backups. We had an outage after a power loss, and the generator not kicking in. Our local backup set didn’t restore. The basement set, in a fire/waterproof safe didn’t restore. The off-site set restored.

    The hours between the first fail and success were pure terror.


  • Gifted my kids, both of them already young adults, one of those retro gaming sticks. An absolute bang/for/buck wonder, full of retro emulators and ROMs. Christmas Day, at grandmas was a retro fest, with even grandma playing. Pac man, frogger, space invaders, galaga, donkey Kong, early console games…. Retro gaming has amazing games, where gameplay and concepts had to make do with the limited resources.

    My son has a Steam deck, but he had a blast with the rest.
