Happy New Year! Hope you can find joy in it ❤️ I have no Resolutions but I do have Plans: • Take my middle aged body seriously • What I am calling "Appointment Computing" • Continue to financially back away from the AI bubble • THIS is the year we get a tabletop roleplaying group going! Maybe!
I've made a Power Macintosh 6100/80! This overclock needed the hot air station. I was worried about cooling - the 6100 case has bad airflow - and noticed that a 40mm fan fits perfectly into the "crown"-style heatsink of the PPC 601 😄

The NeXTstation is up and running! It is in phenomenal condition - even the battery still had 2.6V left (down from 3.0V). What an interesting and opinionated machine - they seem to have had some very clear ideas about how they wanted these to be used.
