Wallpaper for the Mind 2.0 This is a classic Mac application implementing "Wallpaper for the mind", a semi-chaotic pattern generator. Based on an algorithm published in the September 1986 Scientific American Mathematical Recreations column. The implementation allows you to vary the three variables (A, B, C) controlling the pattern, as well as scale and position of the results. The original 68K version uses special assembly code to optimize the square root and point plotting...

Macintosh Pico is a version of the image processing language designed by Gerard Holzmann and described in his 1988 book "Beyond Photography - The Digital Darkroom". This version runs on the 68K Mac with color Quickdraw. It compiles the Pico expressions on-the-fly into 68020 machine code. The folder includes some sample images and demonstration expression files. Check out the "Read Me!" file to get started. Note the Enter or ⌘ -E keys may not be accessible via...

In late 1980, I was a freshman at Oregon State University. The Rubik's cube had hit the market in the fall, and every nerd in the dorm had one. One student, Wayne Patterson, became obsessed with it and (at serious expense to his other studies) managed to solve the puzzle. This was accomplished before any published solutions were readily available. Rather than risk losing this precious information, I recorded the solution, using the tools available to me at the time - Koh-I-noor technical pens,...

Initially, two products were offered: PageMill, a tool for creating web pages, and SiteMill, a tool for managing web sites.

The LED-1 was a watch kit featured in hobby electronics magazines in the early-mid 1970s (1975?). The design was questionable, and I doubt it would have worked well even if constructed by a skilled technician. The project appeared in the March 1975 issue of Popular Electronics .

This a brochure for the Evans & Sutherland Multi-Picture system, a top-of-the-line graphics display of the very late 1970s. These were calligraphic displays, where the CRT beam traced out the lines of the graphic, rather than the typical "raster scan" displays where pixels are scanned out top to bottom. Despite the "cost-effective" claim, these were quite expensive, with installations easily running to six figures in 1980 dollars.

In the mid-70s, while the hobbyists were soldering together their Altair and Imsai computers, pros with deep pockets could buy systems directly from Intel. The SBC 80/10 was a complete "Single Board Computer", but Intel was happy to sell you more RAM and interface cards too. This brochure was pitching the products in 1975.

If you worked as a software engineer at Apple Computer (or Taligent, a spin-off company) between 1988 - 1992, there's some chance your name may be on these charts. These reflected the people behind Apple's system software efforts of that era, including Mac OS System 7 and the ill-fated Pink project (which later became Taligent).
