The original home of the Miscellaneum

I love things, lots of things. Computers, reading and audio in particular. We have a small but dedicated readership that just goes with the flow. My goal is to bring amateur polymaths of all walks of life a light refresher on the miscellaneous. Feel free to browse through the articles. You'll never know what you will find.

What's happening this March

I play the innovative 3D space trading game Elite in the browser. I discover the world's first portable computer in the IBM 5100. What does it take to store reel-to-reel media? I'm taking 2023 as a time to refresh my content and improve your experience. Visitor numbers remain strong and I think that it's time to add more. I examine how generative Artification Intelligence will mark the end of the Digital Dark Age. I take a second look at the reasons to build your own loudspeakers. Imagine an analog computer that can think faster than any human and creates music. We all know about the awesome music on the Commodore 64 and now you can karaoke on it as well. All is not lost when I look into Abandonware. I discover how to use the Amiga Workbench on the A500 Mini. What's up with the retro-MIDI standard that is still powering music today. Enjoy!
