Video: The beauty that is the C-64 laptop mod.

Ben Heck is at it again:

I am always amazed at other people’s modding skills.  Wow.  I can’t even put together a kid’s model of a Ford Thunderbird.

Great attention to detail, including the color scheme of the early 80s C-64.  I also love that it uses SD cards.

News: Dan Touchette’s Timebox is finished.

without comments

It is done.

The DT Log story formerly known as “The Future Will Hold” in 1992 has been reprocessed into a 31,000 word novella.

***

As a note, I have also decided to privatize the pages on the Timebox blog until I decide what to do with this project.

If you would like to read the story, please let me know and I will send you a link to the Google document.

Poem: A Prodigal Artist.

without comments

For a couple of years, I took my focus off writing. I attempted to study business, corporations, marketing. Something, I realized, held me back. The desire was still burning to create, and once I went back through my notes and files, I made a decision to write and market myself again. I intended to read this at a poetry night in San Diego, but I never had the opportunity.

It’s April again. Everything happens in April. My next 20 years of being a writer starts today.   Please enjoy this poem.
