Ever since I first saw this on kickstarter I knew I had to have one, so I finally decided to fund it. I’m so looking forward to getting it in Feb next year!

At times wonderful, and at times totally frustrating too. That’s technology, my experience of it anyway. I do a lot of stuff with technology and I suspect I will continue to do that.
Another kit
When I was at the V&A Digital Design Weekend I picked up this kit as it looked like quite a lot of fun. I probably won’t get a chance to do much with it until November at the earliest, but hopefully it’ll get made soon.

Happy Birthday ZX81
I can’t believe that the ZX81 is 30 years old! That’s amazing. I had many happy hours with mine all those years ago. It was a huge amount of fun to program and play with.
Newton
I’ve been reading Newton Poetry for a while now and have been sitting on the fence about getting myself a newton. The main reason is that I know it will be another piece of hardware that hardly ever gets used and that I feel guilty about buying.
The trouble is that I still really want to get one, and reading Newton Poetry doesn’t help at all!
ZX81 Museum
I used to have a ZX81 and I wish I hadn’t got rid of it now. What an amazing little computer, and how much you could do with 1k of memory!
I’m glad to see that the ZX81 museum is a really well curated little site. I found quite a lot of stuff on there that I’ve had in the past.
These days I only have a ZX81 emulator on my Android phone. I must do some more bits and pieces with that soon.
Excellent blog
From the maker of that Processing plug in I mentioned earlier. Really worth a look if you’re into processing or pure data. The blog is here.
