Hi,
I'm Bob. My parents got me an Atari for Christmas in 1981 and "the only cartridge left on the shelves" - the Assembler / Editor cartridge. So while veryone else was playing games, I was trying to figure out how to make 20000 cycles of animation fit into 8000 cycles of vertical blank. In terms of hobbies, the computing stuff is ... not my primary thing, though I have a few systems from the 1970s - 1990s including that first Atari. I've been on "The Internet" in some forms since 1983 - it wasn't that good.
My primary hobby is micro and closeup photography https://bob-o-rama.smugmug.com/ and I have a "vast collection" of occasionally cool weird science / technology stuff. I make videos about them and put them up on Twitter @BobMahar - nobody watches them. Some of the videos involve decapping chips, some retrocomputing stuff, cursed radioactive dishware, medical quackery, etc.
( This is all sounding like a morose dating profile. ) Have I rambled on enough? No? I live / work in Allentown PA with my perfect nuclear family in a suburban dystopian nightmare where everyone's grass is perfectly manicured - except mine.
