This thing is just too fucking adorable. (VIP2K kit, uses a RCA 1802, a ROM to handle the video state machine, and it's sized to fit an Altoids tin.)

Would you replace your existing internet provider with a community-based ISP, assuming that you'd (at the very least) keep the same speed? If so/not, why?

Mid century design is usually more my style but I do have a bit of a soft spot for the 80s aesthetic of clean fonts and the occasional faux woodgrain. Just finished fixing this stereo this weekend, currently using it to listen to NPR at work.

There will always be a special place in my heart for those people who reimport "international edition" textbooks to the US. Over the years they have made so much knowledge accessible to me and, I assume, many others.

And here we have the Newton next to an original Palm Pilot from only 2 years later. It's not hard to see which one of these would be more pleasant to carry around on a daily basis.
