Unfinished Business

When Zork I was originally released in the early 80s, it sold for around $30-40 in 1980s money (according to a few online sources I forgot to save a link to).

Back in June of 2025, a retrocomputing-enthusiast YouTuber I hadn't heard of started a series of videos talking about a new project he had embarked on to save the classic computer brand, Commodore.

This morning I unintentionally posted a long-ish thread on Mastodon reminiscing about past computer-using.

We don't get out much these days, but when we do we're always a bit worried about what our dogs are doing while they're home alone.

Now that I have a new shiny blog, I can't stop thinking about posting to it - but what I've wanted to post since setting it up is mostly sadness and depression and that's probably not going to be very interesting for anyone.

This is an unrefined thought, but it seems that a great amount of the tech world (and probably other industries) have pivoted to profit off of inertia first and foremost.

Years ago (like, stone-age-ancient-history-before-social-media-ago) I used to have a blog but I shut it down and eventually transitioned to social media platforms when they started to become a thing.
