    I do.  In fact, I drive it every day.  The one time I've seen someone on the wrong side of the yellow stripe is when a person in the right lane got angry, gunned it to block them from merging, and forced them into the other lane.  Was that asshole you?

    i don't gun it in situations like that. i'm an asshole for much different reasons.

    i'm guessing you might have been that person in the other lane one time, no?

  2. i've been a silicon valley sunshine pumper in the past, but the episodes are getting so slow and what happens in most episodes now is so contrived. richard needs to just gtfo. jin yiang used to provide a small amount of comic relief, but his character now is just flat out stupid.

    the funny thing is that i'll continue watching anyway.

    I pulled a Pong machine from my Dad's house over Christmas.  Damn thing still works!

    Been thinking about buying a dead C64 and putting a RaspberryPi in there for fun.

    if you were a commodork back in the day, you might be interested in the mini c64.

  4. i think you're in my neck of the woods, so if you're interested i'll let you have mine for next to nothing.

    the kicker is that it's a...craftsman. i've only had to change the blade and do the simple maintenance stuff on it. haven't had any problems with it, but it has been sitting in my garage for about 2 years. it's about 9 years old. i think i might have other extra parts for it as well.

  5. i'm gonna live vicariously through this thread for awhile--doc doesn't want me doing handiwork and yardwork for awhile. sounds great, but after awhile you're pining for finding problems to fix.

    on my to-do list:

    - destroy and remove a cracking concrete patio and replacing it with wood and built in seating

    - replace our somehow still working water heater from 1986

    - pull out p.o.s. cabinets in garage and build out a workspace that is more useful

    - flip the w/d in the garage to the other side of the wall which is a mudroom

    - get rid of or sell a shitton of power tools that I no longer need. seems like i was a dumping ground for everyone's busted weed eaters and rusted clippers.

    - leaf guards for the gutters. invent some roomba-type gadget to brush/blow all of the tree shit off the roof and clean the skylights (i can dream, right?)

    - fix the damn lighting fixture in the guest bathroom that's been hanging precariously from the electrical box for the past decade

  6. yep. 

    apple II, II+, IIgs, IIc+, III

    macintosh (original), plus, color classic, IIfx

    trs-80 III

    next cube, station

    kaypro

    ...and others

     

    most of the above required a little tlc to get working again, however i mainly focus on locating obscure peripherals now.
