🎄💾🗓️ Day 8: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - Commodore PET 🎄💾🗓️

The Commodore PET (Personal Electronic Transactor) came out in 1977 and was among the earliest personal computers - featuring an all-in-one design with a keyboard, monochrome monitor, and cassette deck - all within a single chassis. Powered by an MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor running at 1 MHz, it had 4 KB of RAM and was expandable up to 96 KB in later models. The PET had Commodore BASIC stored in ROM, allowing users to write and execute programs directly. Its display supported text resolutions of 40×25 or 80×25 characters, using the PETSCII character set for semigraphic capabilities. While early models did not have sound, later versions included a basic beeper. PET's all-in-one design and user-friendly interface contributed to its popularity in education and business, and it sold approximately 219,000 units before its discontinuation in 1982.

Poster design for a performance produced in an independent theatre run by a friend. In addition to the graphic design, I also created the puppets and costumes for the show and set design sketches.

The performance is based on the one-act play by Sławomir Mrożek titled Serenade.

I'm super excited to share a peek at my latest design project: a collection of Retro 80s/90s Social Media Templates! 📼✨

There's just something inherently cool and attention-grabbing about the aesthetics of the 80s and 90s. The bold typography, vibrant color palettes, geometric patterns, and classic fashion elements create a unique visual language that's instantly recognizable and full of personality.

For this set, I wanted to capture that authentic vibe while ensuring they are perfectly suited for modern digital platforms. Being in vector format means they are infinitely scalable – whether you need a crisp Instagram story, a high-res Facebook post, or even a printed flyer, these designs will maintain their sharp quality without pixelation.

I envision these templates being used for fashion brands, vintage shops, music events, special promotions, or anyone looking to infuse their social media presence with a fun, throwback energy. Each template is designed to be easily customizable, allowing you to drop in your own photos and text while maintaining the distinct retro feel.

Newxie brings the joy of nixies without the 170V power supply 💡🕰️✨

If there's one thing that melts our hearts, it's a nixie clock - we built one 20 years ago!

but nixies are hard to find now that we don't hit up the MIT swapfest at 7am anymore

well we saw this funky faux nixie clock

http://www.unitedcreation.co/marvel-tubes/

and realized they're just using the same 1.14" TFTs we stock already

so why not re-spin the breakout into a skinny right-angle-mount version? Instead of card edge, we have 2x7 right angle headers - both rows are the same contact, but this way, we get more mechanical stability. We kept the level shifting to work with 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers but dropped the micro SD card. You could stack these side by side on a breadboard with as little as 0.7" pitch!

Here’s a peek into my latest embroidered-style pieces—each design tells its own little story, now brought to life on fabric. From jazz nights and rebellious riffs to sleepy tokens and sweet notes to mom, I’m loving how these ideas translate beyond the sketchpad.

Which one speaks to you the most?

Exploring how texture and vibe can live in thread and print. All art by me.

Just vibing with the needle & noise.
