Some Of You Guys Have Never Burned A CD And It Shows

A break in a rainy day.

Some days I feel like I’m teetering on a fine white line where one event, or misstep, could send me tumbling into a Stephen King esque scenario. Maybe I’m already there.

I have an Omnibot 2000, but his arms are broken. I’ll fix it eventually. What’s really interesting is the black Omnibot with the stereo speakers on his shoulders, I never saw that model before.

Abandoned. I loved the brickwork and the sharp shadows.

Good morning. My mouth tastes like blood and my mind is in a state of sentimentality.

What do you think would surprise a person from the 1950s most about modern computers?

How disposable they've become. We toss away computers like old socks.

How we got away from the model of timesharing for so long, only to go right back to cloud computing. People were so eager to personalize the experience, it's why things like the PDP-1 came into existance in the late 50s.

How much software went from this thing that was freely, openly shared as just a point of fact to a world where people pay for software regularly.

How much people trust a computer to think for them. A computer cannot think, it can only do math really fast, *you* have to think about how to make use of that platform to make your workload easier. People using computers in the 50s understood this implicitly, and now some people want shitty autocomplete to do the hard part for them. The human tasks that are worth doing, but that's a whole rant in itself.

How much computers just get powered off, or just run without doing anything, because of how plentiful and commonplace they are. In the 50s, no computer time was wasted, it was too expensive. If the machine was operational back then, it was busy.

That’s not just any pinball machine. That’s a Williams 1992 “Fish Tales”. Completing the joke that they are fishing.

Got any more VCF East photos?

You’ve likely already seen all the ones I had taken in your discord. All shot with a 50 mm, kind of square squeezed look. I go by a different name there though.
