Bridgestone MB2 from 1990

Bridgestone was a nice bike company (that still lives on in Japan). They where fairly popular in western part of world during the 80ies and 90ies.
Some of their bikes are very sought after because they where built with high quality and had a unique mix of components.
Recently I found an old 1990 Bridgestone MB2 mountainbike in excellent condition complete with Suntour XC-comp components. I am thinking about restoring this bike to former glory.

Amiga Zorro slot bus type

Amiga computers had their own proprietary bus type called the Zorro slot. Think of the Zorro slot as a more advanced ISA slot but 50 pins in length (100 pin total).

Lots of interesting Zorro cards where made like graphic cards, network cards and even sound cards. If you where a serious Amiga user you had have Zorro slots in your favorite computer.

To find out more information about the Zorro slots, like the difference between Zorro 2 and Zorro 3, read my article about Zorro slots on the Commodore Amiga!

Red anodized aluminium parts for Mini-Z Overland

I have been having quite some fun with a small radio controlled car lately. My daughter is also very entertained by watching and chasing the car -a small Kyosho Mini-Z Overland car- in our apartment.

So there are a lot of hop-up options for the Mini-Z cars by Kyosho that makes them stronger by replacing weak plastic parts with aluminium, in reality plastic parts are good but aluminium parts are much prettier.

Rcxmini.com was having a sale on Overland parts so I decided to get all option parts in red so I could be sure the little car would hold up for years to come thinking my daughter would perhaps want to play with it when she is a bit older. Check out the GPM aluminium Mini Z Overland parts in this picture, how nice:

Old BBS screen

There was quite a long time ago I saw a nice BBS screen so this image feels really nostalgic. I used to be really good at making ASCII drawings, sadly that is one computer related interest you can never make ANY money on anytime soon, but it was a fun hobby for some years.

This screenshot is taken on an Amiga and the font is substituted to a cooler looking one, perhaps the stock font called "Topaz" rings a bell.
