    Peak computer design. I would buy a modern computer in that case in a heartbeat. From the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 2025 #vintagecomputing #it #retrocomputing #retrocomputers #macs #oldmacs #oldapples #oldcomputers

    The sink affordance on the cabin for 1 on a VIA Rail Canadian service from Vancouver to Toronto. Here is a fun fact: It has a white table visible to give you some surface storage, but lifts up to be a sink. #trains #travel #railway #railfanning #eisenbahn #bahn #bahnbilder #sinks #faucets #toiletpaper

    My first time in Hannover. The train station is lovely. The long passenger hallway concourse reminded me of Düsseldorf Hbf. Hannover was chill. #bahnhof #trainstation #trainstations #peoplewatching

    I feel grateful to have been a teenager in the hey-day of the micro-ITX Shuttle days. This vintage PC lan party made me feel both old and young again at the same time. #vintagegaming #gaming #lanparty #vintagecomputing #retrogaming #retrocomputing #vidyagames

    An Amtrak Viewliner Dining Car. The Viewliner is used on Eastern routes where Superliners are too tall to ply the rails. For a car built this decade, the designers made tasteful nods to an art-deco motif that to me says &#39;moderne&#39; I hope one day they bring back proper traditional dining though, to have a proper meal in a Viewliner

    The berth accommodation onboard the VIA Rail Canadian service, which crosses Vancouver to Toronto over 4 days. I&#39;m always tempted to book it because it&#39;s cheaper, and potentially the most comfortable sleep on the train. @orinoux@fedi.txw.ca always reminds me though that you can&#39;t sleep in though, and you don&#39;t have any opportunity for privacy during the day.

    grindr can bring you to the most aesthetic places - or as Kurt Vonnegut put it - peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God also if you peep close you can see the ancient city wall of Seoul lit with dim yellow lights #cafe #travel #cityphotography #urbanphotography #datenight #dusk

    A secret little place in Toronto. Well, tucked between Richmond and Queen at Portland. Secrets out.

    A celebration of Canadian graphics accelerators, and a Diamond too. The Diamond Monster 3D holds a special place for me, it was my first card with 3D acceleration. Seeing my video games with hardware rendering rather than software rendering is still a CORE memory!

    @myzonehotels@qlub.social J’ai vu ton profil sur Mastodon pis j’ai tout de suite accroché — un autre Canadien qui aime les hôtels, ça me fait ben plaisir! Je suis Canadien moi aussi, pis les hôtels, c’est vraiment ma grande passion. C’est ben le fun de tomber sur quelqu’un d’autre au pays qui partage la même affaire. J’ai pensé te partager quelques-uns de mes posts pour que tu puisses y jeter un œil, si ça te dit : https://fedi.txw.ca/objects/f2188f4c-64b6-4231-adfb-c69e3d281c1d J’ai ben hât...

    Seoul can be an intimidating place with all the glitz and glamour, but many Korean restaurant washrooms are definitely keeping some old ways alive
