Here is where friend Starkwether lies: Nobody laughs, nobody cries. Where he goes, how he fares? Nobody knows, nobody cares... Mastodon: @[email protected]

We be #RETROGAMING !

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@simon_schama Dr. Schama you are one of the few reasons I still look at this site. Have you moved to Mastadon or Threads yet? Tried but couldn’t find you. Thanks for making history fresh and relevant to us contemporary people. I will be looking out for you over there should you jump ship.

[Thomas Cherryhomes @tschak]

Thank you all, for another amazing year. 2023 will be the year that #FujiNet gets a generic bus interface, and we can really start bringing it to every single #retrocomputing and #retrogaming platform in existence. :)

It's evident Elongated Muskrat is a man child with no self control.

Hey did you know that @PFTompkins is leaving bird site in Jan. ? Most of the cool kids are over at mastodon now. I will periodically check in here for messages and to remind people to go there if they haven't already. But I mean if Paul is leaving what good is this place?

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@NYTScience Where is your mastodon instance? If I see this article over there I will check it out.

@MonstersGo @CommodoreBlog Just addresses no links. Because free speech!

[Paul F. Tompkins @PFTompkins]

I’ve thought about it even before that dumbass took over but I was worried about losing an outlet for promotion. But ultimately I’m just scrolling and scrolling looking for something interesting and coming up empty more than striking gold.

Testing the rumors about #mastodon being a sensitive hashtag on bird site…

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@fultonbot @JohnKennedyEsq Give me moar! I feel ya.

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@danagould Dana you on mastodon?

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@JohnKennedyEsq And good luck! I enjoy reading about the stuff you post. So, wherever you land let us know!

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@JohnKennedyEsq Maybe keep the account here but post your best material places where people are going to love it most? I kept my account here but the stream of people who generate the media I consume is growing elsewhere. It makes disuse easier. But,no place with human participants is a panacea.

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@JohnKennedyEsq I met Doug Coupland at a Boston book signing in '96. He was jet lagged and signed that book and a gave me a blueprint of the pdp-11(weird?). I told him how much that book meant to me as a young techie. He said nothing, blank stare. It is sometimes awkward meeting your heros IRL.

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@superjude81 @NumskullDesigns I think mastodon users are starved for your morning affirmation could you post it there too? Instead? I am sure you could get your follower count up there quick… cheers I have enjoyed your posts here!

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@hodgman Just come over to mastodon for crying out loud. If only so I don’t have to listen to my wife complain that you aka 'all comedy' isn’t there yet.

[Brandon Hockle @[email protected] on Mastodon @bhockle]

@SkaldRpg Mastodon is pretty fun. Just like anything you have to follow some people to see much variety. But the quality of posting is great. I spend more time enjoying the content versus managing my block list. In fact I don’t think I have blocked anyone. Here I block more than I follow.
