Tech Stuff

1. Operating Systems

+

In the tech world, the operating system (OS) you prefer is considered as much of a defining feature as the clothes you wear or the music you like. As a result, this page examines the three major OSes out there today: UNIX (including macOS), Linux, and Windows.

2. Retro Computers

+

I collect vintage computers, and this page is dedicated to my favourites. The first part discusses the old personal computers of the 1970s-1990s (Apple, Commodore, Tandy, IBM, Atari, Sinclair, ColecoVision, Osborne, Kaypro and GRiD) while the second part discusses the high-end (and costly) UNIX workstations of the 1990s and early 2000s (SUN, Tadpole, SGI, DEC, NeXT and HP).

3. Arcade Games

4. Tech Flicks

There are many techy/geeky/nerdy movies and sitcoms out there! Here are some of my favourites (in alphabetical order).

5. Tech T-Shirt Slogans

+

Proper tech attire includes a t-shirt with a cheeky slogan.

6. Tech Humour and Puns

+

You can't work in tech without a twisted sense of humour and moderate-to-high level of snark.

7. The RISCy Hipster

+

Since the 1990s, I've definitely been that hipster dude in the room that advocates the latest RISC technology. This section details what RISC is, why it's the future, as well as my RISCy pursuits.
