Portland folks! Next weekend (Oct 21-22) I’ll be exhibiting more than 100 vintage calculators from my collection! (All from 1968-1983.) If you’re in the area, are interested in design and vintage tech, DM me — I still have spots left for people to come and check it out.

2012: Steven Frank creates the very serious and important "Cloud-To-Butt" browser extension that replaces the words "the cloud" with "my butt" on all web pages. (github.com/panicsteve/cloud-…) Some older versions and forks even affect any text written in <input>s.
