"Building a body of work isn't about going viral. I'm not interested in being an "influencer". Quick experiments on ancient hardware deep dives on today's tech slow explorations of tomorrow's frontiers. What starts as tinkering becomes a record of curiosity ideas and obsessions. Sometimes it's hard to see everything I'm doing across three sites so I took some time to create a single page to collect all my writing.

"BTW this IS my childhood C64. My Dad and I can't remember exactly when we got it but I've had it since [----]. It's all original except the Kernal ROM and the PLA. Luckily smart people have created drop-in PLA replacements since the originals were notoriously unreliable. I'm fortunate to have restored many Commodore machines over the years. Many people have sent me their broken machines hoping to get them working again. I've been successful in all but two repairs (corrosion damage). I *think* I have every C64 board revision and all of the VIC-20 board revisions at this point"
