Hotel room booked for #VCFMW. See you in September!
I somehow missed this project at #VCFMW but learned about it from @kefkafloyd's recent YT vid providing coverage/overview of the event.
https://tempestfpga.com/ - their WiFi RetroModem!
All that original Hayes (and soon USRobotics Sportster) #DialUp #Modem goodness but with built-in wifi thanks to esp module. Would solve some (retro) headaches and get a really neat final product.
Love how many neat boards are being developed by folks right now.

RIP Ward Christensen. I’m so glad I got to meet him at #VCFMW last year. He was helping to run the learn-to-solder table and I was hoping to see him at VCFMW this year, but he wasn’t there. https://mastodon.laurenweinstein.org/@lauren/113300835222615766

Join me Saturday, Oct. 12th at 9am Eastern for some HyperCard code debugging.
To make Adventure! a boxed release, I need some re$ource$ to make the physical manifestation a reality. I’m ”selling” notoriety. If you contribute, I will list you as a contributor on the credits page in the game. Visit https://ko-fi.com/ericsedge to contribute.
You can find more information on Adventure! The Quack of Dawn at http://quackofdawn.com. Scheduled for release at #VCFMW in 2025.
Watching the folks on the #VCFMW YouTubers panel talk about their earliest memories of computers in media and y'all making me feel old.
This was it for me: Penny's computer book in Inspector Gadget. This thing is responsible for my whole career. I wanted to be Penny so bad.
Join @mac84tv and I as we (exhaustedly) talk about #Macintosh clone computers! #VCFMW

The panel I was on at #VCFMW this year, “A New Soul for an Old Machine: Building Modern Solutions for Retro Computers” is up on YouTube! Moderated by @RonsCompVids and also featuring @jeffpiep, @akuker, @nulleric, and @MuseumJoe https://youtu.be/W2GvWqsa4iE

@thomasfuchs at #VCFMW there were a couple sellers selling things for eBay prices or higher. I think they were selling Disk II drives for $100 
So, I did a thing.
Adventure!, my mostly text adventure game, has a website - https://quackofdawn.com.
I will post progress updates and eventually a demonstration version of the game for download.
The “schedule” is to have a draft of the manual for the game and editor by #MARCHintosh 2025 with box sets ready for purchase at #VCFMW 2025.
Stay tuned for more info!
Some fun items picked up at VCF Midwest. The best part of the show though was hanging, meeting, and seeing everyone. Cheers!
I'll be on Retro Repair Roundup with my #VCFMW friends tonight! 9e/8c/7m/6p
