The case for the case
This essay is going to be a bit uneven and scattershot and doesn’t contain any “hard tech” stuff – just some stream-of-consciousness flotsam that I wanted to get down somewhere as it was floating through my mind. Feel free to … Continue reading
My approach to 6502 assembly language
I think my approach to trying to learn 6502 Assembly language programming has been all wrong so far. Pretty much every book or guide I’ve come across that was written back in the 80′s (all of ‘em?) starts off with … Continue reading
Tuesday Trivia winner
As I had hoped, last week’s Tuesday Trivia was much easier than the previous two and generated more responses. Of the 10 entries, 8 were correct: the Apple /// in the screenshot appeared almost every week in the 80′s TV … Continue reading

Tuesday Trivia: Not so dead after all
“What’s this!” you say. “Another Tuesday Trivia contest? Too soon, man!” Yes, it’s here and nothing can stop it now. No one won last time and I only had two people even make guesses, so I’m hopeful this round will … Continue reading
Tuesday Trivia Contest Results
For this installment of the Tuesday Trivia Contest only two people responded, neither correct. Based on the number of hits to the blog and the post announcing the contest (a grand total of 5 over the week), I’ll make the … Continue reading
