Midnight In The Desert

LOL the hipsters had a blowout. their iPhones all died from an EMP and then they were spiritually lost and had to commit suicide en mass.

Interesting that Heather's familiar w the term "DXing".  And not in the medical sense of "diagnosing".

I can't imagine a true radio fan not knowing. But a decade from now? I doubt DX'ing will be anything but a quaint remembrance.

[Barfly]

Yeah, I built one from a kit for McDonnell Douglas back in 82 that was a Z80 with the CP/M OS. That was my entry point into PCs and PC programming.

That brings back memories, my Timex Sinclair is a ZX80, i think its a whopping 3 or 4 mhz LOL

I've gotten back into listening into CDs driving to Church on Sundays.

You know Jimmie?

[Juan Cena]

Wow, a new colloquialism. We used to just call them hipsters.

Or dorks.

Space Taxi

God, how I miss McDonnell Douglas.

McDonnell Douglas flew the first civilian astronaut on STS-41D to operate an experiment they had on board. Charlie Walker. I got to go to the plant in St. Louis for the astronaut debrief. They took me through the aircraft assembly plant where they were building Harriers, F-15s and F-18s all in the same building. That was cool as shit. I think it was September, 1984.

that doesn't look like C64 to me..

What's funny about that is that the Church I attend has a couple of gyms on its campus, dubbed Gym A and Gym D. When there were events scheduled to Gym D, I used to ask friends at Church "Who's Jimmy?"

some of the old namco arcade games translated really well to C64.

It was a great company, something St. Louis could be proud of. My first employer out of college in fact. Then Boeing bought them . . .

Yeah, there might be better games but that's the first one to pop into my mind too so it must've left a lasting impression. I tend to think of the games that were specific to a system and I don't ever remember seeing that one for any other system.

Im kinda excited about the new Raspberry Pi 3, it may be a fun project to make a arcade box

What's going to change in the update. You can already make a decent arcade system with the 2, I think. They're pretty cool little systems for $40

Yeah, I went to work for Rockwell, then Boeing bought them.

McDonnell Douglas and Rockwell were pretty decent companies. I left shortly after Boeing bought Rockwell, and only worked with them, not for them after that. Basically doubled and tripled the costs to NASA for the same work.

To be fair, Hacker wasn't a C64 exclusive, but I hope that person dies in a fire anyway. stab stab stab

Love my goats.

Crazy? Or not as crazy as magnetized blankets? Discuss.

no offense alladin, but i have to disqualify your supplied screenshot of the pseudo64 [P64] from the hipsterpedia of pedo haxors. it's just too much of a stretch.. i'm just glad i didnt ask about PSP games, all hell would have potentially broken loose. hax were off the charts.

More crazy. Magnetic blankets could offer some therapeutic value
