Another #vcfsw in the books. I got hit by a drunk driver on Thursday (no injuries fortunately) so I had to take a smaller car with not a lot of trunk space. On the plus side, one of the regulars gifted me this gem.

I can just HEAR my wife groan and SEE her eyes roll when she notices that I've added about 100 videos from the latest #vcfsw to my YouTube "Watch Later" list :)

TOO MUCH NERDY RETRO FUN! :)

I attended the #vcfsw in Dallas at the UTDallas campus this weekend. Quite a show! It's considerably smaller than those in Chicago or New Jersey, but still an excellent opportunity to see some vintage hardware in person and attend presentations from some original creators in the industry. The primary focus this year was #texasinstruments and the #TMS9900 and #TMS9918 chips.

Good fun at #vcfsw this weekend. I talked to a lot of people and learned a lot about many things. I love how everyone there is doing their own thing, not trying to impress anyone, just there to share their own take on the joy of computing. All very encouraging.

If you’re in the Dallas area this weekend, definitely check out #vcfsw (https://www.vcfsw.org)

I arrived early at #VCFSW to check the Free Pile of tech gear looking for a good home.

Dusty CRTs are very welcome, but they discriminate on "uncool" inkjet printers 😆

Hey, lmk if you're at VCF Southwest this weekend! I'm in and out but hope to be there at least part of the day each day. It's always great to see Mastodon connections!

Tomorrow we're heading to the #vcfsw. This is your chance to see the reclusive sysop of Particles! IRL. Good luck recognizing me. I look like anyone else and just blend in with the crowd but say hi if you feel like it :).
