About This Site

An on-line notepad for all my projects, findings and thoughts about vintage computers and technologies. I am particularly interested in uncommon devices, UNIX workstations, quirky portables, and everything about early 2D/3D graphics acceleration. The site was created out of necessity of having a single place for more complex topics that are not suitable for today’s image oriented platforms like Tumblr and Instagram. The content will expand over time.

My Tumblr blogs:

  • 80-90s Computing
  • SGI Hardware
