I like the whole “computers-in-wood” asthetic

Love Hultèn (or Hultén—it's spelled both ways on that page) made a series of life sized computers based off the old Lego computer bricks (link via Jason Kottke) and I must admit, they are very cool!

But then I checked out Love's other projects and the The Golden Apple—wow! A Mac Mini housed in a custom walnet case based off the original Macintosh 128K case is just beautiful (although to be truthful, I could do without the gold keys on the keyboard but that's me).

You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go ahead, I won't bite. I promise.

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.

It is assumed that every brand name, slogan, corporate name, symbol, design element, et cetera mentioned in these pages is a protected and/or trademarked entity, the sole property of its owner(s), and acknowledgement of this status is implied.
