On YouTube, there’s a long tail of content that pretty much guarantees the inclusion of every potential human interest. There are skate videos, makeup tutorials, and backyard surgical removals of blackheads. And yet the presentation of a lot of this content — especially when it’s trying to attract a large audience — is remarkably similar. Everywhere you look, there’s YouTube Face.

Founded in 1895, Vandergrift was the first successful planned industrial town designed to be sold to its workers.

In 1895, Olmsted’s firm designed Vandergrift near the end of his disguished career, which began with his design of New York City’s Central Park. His many landscape achievements include the grounds of the U.S. Capitol, the campus of Stanford University, the Biltmore Estate and city parks from Boston to San Francisco. His master plan for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair helped bring him to the attention of Vandergrift’s founder, George McMurtry.
Both my grandfather and my dad were born and raised in Vandergrift. I’ve only been once, but now I want to get back and check out the town in much more detail.

Could you do a credible version of Myst on an Apple II in lo-res mode? The answer seems to be just barely.
The concept of “demakes” is new to me, but is not surprising. The amount of effort on this project is, however.

This is an ATtiny85-based digital music box that will play a tune stored in memory in MIDI format.
[…]
The MIDI player uses DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) to generate the waveforms. To give this project a music box sound I wanted to give the waveforms decaying envelopes.
Beeps and boops? Sure. But this is seriously impressive and sounds so cool. Love this guy’s site & projects.

Do you need old System software disks to boot your Mac of the past?
I recently acquired a 1986 Mac Plus with no way to boot it as this era of Apple tech used a crazy variable-speed floppy system resulting in 800KB data on 720KB medium. These guys came through and I’m happy to say that the machine works great!
