The Best Mac OS X Terminal Font: Glass TTY VT220

October 6, 2015 By Stephen 4 Comments

More than five years ago, I blogged about a "stupidly cool" terminal font. Now that Mac OS X isn't a big cat anymore, I figured it was time to repeat that: If you're an old-school computer nerd like me, Glass TTY VT220 is the coolest terminal font for Mac OS X!

Datacenter History: Through the Ages in Lego

October 22, 2013 By Stephen 9 Comments

But when Juniper Networks asked me to build a datacenter from Lego bricks, I took a second look. And, seeing that the winner can support a charity of their choice, I felt that this was an excellent opportunity for me to have some fun while doing some good!

Stephen’s HP Product Line Decoder Ring

September 29, 2010 By Stephen 7 Comments

HP has always been an alphabet soup company, assigning just about every item in their bewildering array of products a unique product number. Like Mercedes-Benz cars, even the product names are a mix of letters and numbers that can be off-putting to browsers. Now that they have grown to supersize proportions through internal expansion and acquisition, just about everyone outside … [Read more...] about Stephen’s HP Product Line Decoder Ring
