🌺 New video! I paid $6 to get into a Honolulu vintage show hunting for retro computers. Found handheld Pac-Man, soup can radios, Star Trek II film cells & Chanute Field postcards from my Air Force days.
Did I find a computer? 👇

Heads up: GrokGauge is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by xAI. It reads usage from an undocumented endpoint that could change or break at any time. It's ad-hoc signed and not notarized yet, and your login never leaves your Mac. Use at your own risk. 🙏

To say The Lovely Accountant and I had a "good" time in Hawai'i would be a gross understatement. And there was retro computing along the way. "Video at 11." Mahalo! 🤙🏼🏖️
I'm the same age as I Dream of Jeannie! Loved that show. Too young to watch on network TV, but would watch it in syndication after school. Always more favored than Bewitched because it was NASA and Air Force adjacent. Oh, and of course, @Barbara_Eden!
We don’t often think about the passage of time when we’re living in the moment. While today marks the 61st anniversary of I Dream of Jeannie, 61 years into the future was the furthest thought from my mind on that frigid day in December of 1964.
That was when we filmed the pilot on the beach at Point Dume!
When you’re filming on location, you don’t think about anything other than work. After all, daylight is changing, shadows are moving, wind is blowing. We were there to get the shots and get the job done on schedule.
Between hitting our marks and getting the shots, the biggest memory that stands out that day is that it was so horribly cold! There I was in a harem costume on the beach in December, shivering! It was so cold my lips were blue!
I look back now, at that day, and I truly cannot quite express how amazing it is to me that 61 years later, Jeannie is still with me. I had no idea what was starting on that beach, or how it would find a home in the hearts of so many, for so many years.
I also had no expectation that Jeannie, a delightful mythological, classic entity, would still be here! But she is, just over my shoulder, watching over everything!
I think of those magical 5 years of my life, where every day was an adventure. Between Larry and Billy and Hayden, and the whole crew, we never knew what would happen! Even with a script in hand, you could never predict everything. From our hilarious guest stars, to being locked in a safe and playing the wonderfully mischievous naughty twin sister…
I’ve said it many times and I mean it every time; I Dream of Jeannie was often more fun than work.
Here’s to 61 years of magic! To all the laughter, all the joy, all the silliness and adventures that remain with me in my heart today.
Here’s to you, the fans! Your love, dedication and fascination with the show keeps the magic alive. I cannot thank you enough for the love you’ve shown me and for the memories you’ve helped keep bright.
Happy Anniversary Jeannie, still bringing laughs, granting wishes and reminding me of what a joy it was. -Barbara Eden
Rumors continue about @ToysRUs opening stores. But if we don't see the return of this department, I'm out. 😂 Hey, @commodoreofcl, how about stocking some shiny new C64 Ultimates in these stores?
Thanks to @rtfmuseum for the AMAZING recreation of the Apple garage! And on top of that, I won their free Mac SE/30 with @BlueScsi! What a wonderful way to end @vcfmidwest 2026!
Replaced my 3-year old Mac mini stand with a Game Boy dock and I feel like I have a new computer!

Thanks to @Wokyis for letting me give this cool new accessory a try!
This has probably already been suggested, but has anyone thought about a fork of FreeCAD just for 3D parametric modeling? Seems this leaner version would remove the barrier to entry for many new users and allow an upgrade path for more power later. Thoughts?
Cyberpunk additions to the @commodoreofcl Sales Tracker!
I'm really digging the updates. And this is a huge quality of life improvement! Keep them coming.
And just in time for my February birthday. Looking forward to streaming my unboxing on the channel when the Commodore 77 arrives from @commodoreofcl.
Hit EXECUTE: The Commodore 77 Just Jacked Into Night City
What does the "EXECUTE" key do?
The newly announced Commodore 77, an Official Cyberpunk 2077 collab from Commodore is a modern Commodore 64 Ultimate reborn for Night City:
FEATURES
• Up to 77 MHz CPU (toggleable)
• 77 MB RAM
• Weathered cyberpunk case + real brushed-metal function key plate
• Custom Cyberpunk BASIC boot screen
• Themed spiral manual with exclusive type-in programs & lore
• Arasaka-inspired cartridge with demo by Arise + music by LukHash
• Reactive LED lights + stickers, pins & collectible packaging
When you look closely the Commodore 77 has 'new keys', here's what they do:
DAEMON
Left Shift
EXEC HALT
RUN/STOP
ALTER LOCK
SHIFT LOCK
PURGE ORAM
CLR/HOME
INJECT WIPE
INST/DEL
REBOOT
RESTORE
EXECUTE
RETURN
VECTOR
Cursor / arrow keys
ALTER
SHIFT
The functions of the keys are the same as on the C64 (C64 Ultimate, etc.); they just have this cool Cyberpunk theme running. They thought of everything with this new edgy release.

Expected: Feb 2027 Built from the ashes of a legend. Keep your data safe before the corpos notice.
Seems this would open up the use of A.I. tools to create and refine models. Would love to combine this with @grok with grok-cli.
