I started this 3D recreation in 2020. Maybe I should try and complete it somewhat in 2026...

Remember Computer Chronicles? Remember that schematic? I never found out what it depicts, but I recreated it as vector graphics, because why not? 😅

I just learned that online pizza ordering was basically invented in 1993 (if Pizza Hut was the first).

I've been watching more episodes of the Computer Chronicles. This one from 1984 is about operating systems. It has Stewart Cheifet walking around inside an Apple II, guided by Bruce Tognazzini from Apple.

Watching vintage episodes of Computer Chronicles this weekend. Just did a Kagi search and saw that Stewart Cheifet passed away a few days ago. RIP. May we all be so enthusiastic about our tech. #computerchronicles #pbs #vintagecomputing #stewartcheifet

A bit late but my thoughts and love to Stewart Cheifet's family and those who know him well. A true giant in the IT and PC worlds and people should remember his major contributions.

A little late on this one, but #RIP #StewartCheifet. 🙏🏻 #ComputerChronicles

I really don't think I'd be in #IT and #SoftwareDevelopment if it weren't for the #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting #CPB #PBS, especially #StewartCheifet's #ComputerChronicles & #NetCafe, #RobertXCringely's #TriumphOfTheNerds and #NerdsTwoPointOhOne #ABriefHistoryOfTheInternet.

Our first #TV was a tiny B&W Sony that my grandfather had bought for my parents (later used with my #VIC20.) Our first color TV had broken audio, so set ontop of a B&W TV with no picture but working sound. No joke.

Why does the #CorporationForPublicBroadcasting dissolution feel like such a hard blow? Less than a month after #StewartCheifet's passing, whose #ComputerChronicles & #NetCafe were partially funded by the #CPB and aired on #PBS, no less!

Growing up, I had books, radio, and over-the-air TV. I experienced computers through family, friends, school, and _especially_ #TV. My first computers were hand-me-downs (a #Commodore #VIC20, then an #IBM #PS2). I didn't get #Internet until much later.

What is old is new again. Forty years ago in the #ComputerChronicles, people were talking about disappointments with #AI. And of course, the result was an #AIwinter until the 2000s.
