2019 in review
Each December, I like to take some time to reflect on the events of the year - and this year was AWESOME!
Reviving an ancient BSD UNIX workstation
I was gifted a really rare NS32016 BSD UNIX workstation prototype from the early 1980s!
SPARCbook 3000ST: The coolest 90s laptop
Seriously, how cool is a SPARC-based laptop from the 90s running Solaris?!?
An evening with The Woz
Steve Wozniak (a.k.a. The Woz) was one of the keynote speakers at yesterday’s Fuzenation Technology & Music Summit in Kitchener, Ontario.
The World Wide Web turns 25 years old today
Last month, I posted a blog post detailing NeXT and how Tim Berners-Lee used a NeXT workstation at CERN to create the World Wide Web. I guess you could call that foreshadowing, since today marks the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web!
The dawn of personal computing
The coolest oil painting for a vintage computer enthusiast (such as myself).
Some NeXT level stuff
I managed to get some NeXT workstations this week from a former colleague of mine who also collects vintage computers. For those who don't know what a NeXT workstation is, it's essentially the UNIX system that became Mac OS X, as well as the UNIX system that Tim Berners-Lee used to create the world's first Web server using his new protocol called HTTP (Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol).
