... But I must apologize for forgetting to give a BIG shout-out to Gordon Moore, who passed away 2023/03/24.
R.I.P.
Without his brilliance and and incredible work, I would not have been able to collect all those Fry's ads...

Fun Fact: "Where Fairchild once sold transistors for as much as $150 each, a typical Intel microprocessor in 2019 contained 5 billion of them—each costing $0.0000001, or a penny per 100,000 transistors."

Moore's Law has survived the test of time (58 years and counting) ; despite its oft-repeated demise.

I believe yestalgicism allows us to respect how we got here.

Friends loved it. Of course, they also like hiking for miles.

I was thinking similar and immediately thought of Antarctica. I understand that the human population consists of a few hundred intrepid scientists.

I didn't know that. I'll remember to take my tent.

A very well insulated tent.

Steve Jobs presents the first iPhone that will change our lives forever. I watched this presentation on my Dell one week later because it was not live.
He had the art and the way to present Apple products. Today I use a MacBook Air and an iPhone...
Today all Apple presentations are live in France and probably everywhere in Europe...

We need to get back on track. Please notice the shadow under the board, there is no recovering from this.

This is a Cathedral in a town called "Lourdes", South-West of France. It's full like that every night in Summer... There is a river on the right side >>
I've been there in summer, so I know... There are more people behind the white statue.

The tomb of Christopher Columbus in the gigantic Cathedral of Seville, Spain.
I've been there...

A 51cm (20") Luminglas plasma light I picked up recently. It's a fun novelty light similar to your classic plasma ball lights but in disk shape. It responds to sound and music so it's very hypnotic to watch.

Here it's standing right next to the 30cm (12") model I already had.
Akai GX-635D and wine bottle for size. Let's just say I wasn't prepared for the size increase.
