Chris Hanson<p>How does hosting a church on Sundays to the exclusion of computer history events further the mission of the Computer History Museum? It fucking sucks as a venue for VCF West now since it’s restricted to Friday and Saturday. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vcf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vcf</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vcfw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vcfw</span></a></p>

My first post for #suntember is this #SunMicrosystems #Developer connection beanbag. I picked this up via #freecycle from a prior #Sun employee who scored it at a #java #developers conference of theirs. It is in almost perfect condition but for two spots on the bottom of the beanbag, near the zipper. I ended up gifting this to an individual in the #vintagecomputing community a couple of weeks ago at #vcfw.

I know they will enjoy it more than I was, sitting in my garage unused.
