So disappointed that they're auctioning off all the stuff from the Seattle Living Computer History Museum. It was so cool to walk into the old giant PGP computer lab or play with an Apple II. By the end of the week it'll all be gone. :( onlineonly.christies.com/s/f…

Happy to play w/ "Morpheus: Biblionaut" (2009) again. It's a piece of electronic fiction preserved in @rhizome's Conifer. I did the music w/ @screenkapture et al. doing the story, visuals, & programming. It's a trippy #scifi journey.

I'll give you this, Amazon: Telling people you're going to Queens and then bailing is one thing New Yorkers can relate to.

Astonishing. The Zuse Z1 (1938). Eyeing it up, that’s 64 bits of memory stacked 8 plates high for a total of 512 bits of storage in this foreground plate. Programmable via punched tape. What a leap of imagination.
