I do things with technology and stuff. Yes, that is very descriptive. Maintainer of The OPL Archive, an attempt to preserve the history of music for the Yamaha OPL2/OPL3 synthesizer chips (AdLib). Check out my stuff at www.wafflenet.com!

A Benchmarq bq4287mt battery+sram chip. Ugh.
DECpc 466d2 MTE board. It has Socket 2 with 6 EISA slots (one shared VLB) and a VLB like "local bus video" slot that "almost" fits a normal VLB card but they're blocked by the backplane. It pushes the video signal to an onboard VGA port. (I have the associated S3 805 card)
Opened Amiga 500 with an IDE hard drive hanging off the keyboard. The screen shows it has 2MB of ChipRAM
"Huh. I wonder who that's for."
A low-poly 3D model of Hoi from the Amiga game Hoi and the unfinished Moon Child. He is waddling along!
A Wii U running Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
A low-poly rotating 3D model of a Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer. There is a cassette tape leaning against it.
Tyan Thunder i7525 motherboard with dual Socket 604
A low-poly rotating model of a Sharp X68000 SUPER. Floppy disks are popping in and out of the system and the carrying handle is bouncing up and down.
My herd of Game Boy Advances (and the games behind them). Left: Launch model Indigo GBA I got for my 9th birthday with my original copy of Super Mario Advance. Right: A modded launch GBA with clear indigo shell and backlit screen (my main unit) running my childhood copy and save of Pokemon Ruby. Center: A black GBA SP AGS-001 I found at a garage sale for $3 that I used until I got the modded system, running my childhood copy of Sonic Advance.
A low-poly rotating 3D model of a Sun SPARCstation IPX.
A low-poly 3D model of a Macintosh Performa 600. A floppy disk and CD caddy pop in and out of the system as the model rotates.

A print from GlobalTalk that says "Happy" and then it fades out because the ribbon ran dry.
Port statistics showing 1921 packet buffer overflow errors and 94.7% network reliability
Screenshot of NetBSD 10.1 running on a Gateway G6-450 w/ Celeron "Tualeron" 1400mhz & Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra. Using the default ctwm window manager. Running apps are fastfetch, cmatrix, glxgears, xeyes, ico, xosview and fxtv (showing input from an Apple IIe via a Hauppauge capture card)
MSI K8T Neo "dynamic overclocking" option. Instead of just writing the percentages, they have to name each level. "Select each level increase the CPU frequency by, Private:1%, Sergeant:3%, Captain:5%, Colonel:7%, General:10% Warning! Dynamic OverClocking is an advanced overclocking function. Any damage or risk resulted from impropriety or overclocking are not garanteed." (sic)
Screenshot of Gentoo Linux running on a Gateway G6-450 upgraded to a Celeron "Tualeron" 1.4Ghz and an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 Ultra. It's running TWM, with top, fastfetch, cmatrix, and glxgears.

This way to chiptune nirvana with the OPL Archive. Table E06!
Sharp X68000 XVI computer running Gradius II. OSSC for upscaling, and a Roland SC55mkII for MIDI.
Six different Shareware CDs I found.
A very very tall AT tower. It's on wheels and so tall it doesn't fit under my table.
A computer monitor showing boot messages but they are corrupted due to bad VRAM. Some letters are the wrong case, color, or entirely wrong letter with no rhyme or reason. For instance: "MediaShield ROM BAOQ 5.60 CopyriGHt °C) 20➡️1 NVIDIA Borp."
A pile of 35 Chemicon KZG capacitors removed from a motherboard. Several have vented and leaked. The rest were inevitably going to share the same fate someday.
A Macintosh folder window on GlobalTalk showing the LazyVGM distribution.
"Lazy VGM Player" for classic Mac w/ Pro Audio Spectrum 16 NuBus attempts to play music from the DOS game MegaRace. It's recognizable but the timing is all off.

An Apple ImageWriter II pictured with the ImageScribbler board, a clone of the LocalTalk option board
The PAS16 NuBus in my Quadra 800 goes "ding"
A Macintosh text-mode program called "PAS Poke" which is attempting to write to the OPL3 chip on the Pro AudioSpectrum 16 NuBus. Each line is a register read or write. The OPL detection routine writing to $FD000388 (Slot D address 388) is succeeding, reporting "OPL3 detected". A test note is written afterwards.
Chooser and a folder window showing AppleShare on GlobalTalk.
A SPARCstation IPX power supply board with four capacitors removed. There is obvious wetness/residue where the caps used to be, indicative of leakage.
A Sun SPARCstation IPX computer with a Sun CD-ROM drive stacked on top of it. A Sun Type 5 keyboard is stacked on top of both of those. A monitor on a table is showing the OpenBoot screen and beginnings of a SunOS 4.1.4 boot sequence.
An Apple IIgs computer (case open) displaying the GS/OS boot screen on a Commodore 1084S monitor.
