TIL that CADD is hard.

Good luck to everyone going back to school over the next few weeks!

The future for me will always be geodesic domes. Here is a piece from the first one constructed in North America.

I’m going to toot(!) my own horn.

The vast majority of Apple HW at my house is about to be unsupported by the new OS’s.

I’m worried my Apple IIc will run more software than my iMac.

BTW @evanmpeck , I thought of you while constructing this and your quest to open people’s eyes to non-R1
