Uploaded a high-quality scan of a Laseractive brochure to the Internet Archive! It shows off a bunch of its features and selling points, along with some trippy mid-90s CG. https://archive.org/details/PioneerLaseractiveBrochure
This isn’t the only copy of this brochure on the internet, but it’s a much better scan than any previous copy and it’s unwatermarked. Also, the internet Archive's web-based book reader is really cool!

I just submitted a talk to DeconstructConf, and if you haven't given a conference talk before, you should too! From their website:
* Goal one: get new people into conference speaking. First-timers only.
* Goal two: increase diversity (though anyone is allowed to submit).
* We cover all travel expenses and pay you $3,000.
* You commit to practice the talk several times.
* We'll mentor you in whatever way you need!

cant wait to build my own computer which consists of like ten microcontroller chips, each of which contains one application (file manager, text editor, lynx-style browser, IRC client, media player etc.)
multitasking is accomplished by turning a 10-way selector knob which controls which chip is outputting to the screen at that moment
