Television Tuesdays: The line

The line is an original webisode series on Hulu that is seven episodes long. It chronicles what happens in the week before the final episode of FutureSpace (a movie that resembles Star Wars).

Two friends start a line one week before the premier of the movie...and comedy ensues! All I have to say is that it's funny and different. Each webisode is about 4 minutes long, so the whole thing should not take a long time to view.

Apple IIgs Laptop!

I do not know how this escaped me last week, but it did!
I saw this on TUAW and it blew my mind! The IIgs has a special place in my computer usage history, it being the machine I learned to code on in high school. Some of the specs for this laptop are:

Large 15″ color screen. Much bigger than the ones on my other 8-bit computer projects (thus far)
Uses an original Apple IIgs motherboard with RAM expansion.
Custom acrylic keyboard. It uses the original keyboard PCB, but the buttons were custom made for a cool modern look.
CompactFlash adapter inside unit functions as an original equipment hard drive.
Glowing backlit “][” logo. Blue for on, with a bit of yellow during disk access.
Built-in stereo speakers.
Side port access for floppy drive, joystick and mouse.
Can play all your classic games Winking


Now if they can figure out how to add in WiFi, a browser and email, we’re all set to go! Move over MacBook Air!
