Guru Meditation
I spent several hours today in silent meditation, although I haven’t been able to clear my mind for even the span of a single breath. On the plus side, I discovered that I’m able to sit cross-legged with a straight posture for extended periods of time. The original Amiga OS had a unique crash screen […]

There’s an open source clone of AmigaOS called AROS, which has been ported to several CPU architectures beyond the Motorola 680×0 line, including PowerPC, 32-bit and 64-bit Intel x86, and 32-bit ARM (little-endian […]

Status of My Amiga 4000 Emulator Project
This post is mostly links to Twitter threads where I wrote about the progress of my new Amiga 4000 emulator (work in progress), along with an introduction.
