I found my old SpeedScript book while clearing out some old boxes. Back in the day I used SpeedScript on my C64 in both high school and college; despite being a free type-in program it held its own against more expensive commercial word processing software. As a bonus I also learned a lot from the annotated 6510 assembly listing included in this book.

I’m trying to reduce the amount of stuff in my life, so I’m ready to let the book go. I’d hate to throw it away, and I doubt it would be worth the effort to sell online, so I’m willing to send it to a C64 fan who would appreciate it and find it useful.

DM me if you’re interested.

Went for a hunt last weekend, my first one in weeks. My best find was this US 1835 classic head half cent. Gotta love seeing old copper in the dirt!

Two weeks ago I took an epic road trip through Utah, Colorado and Arizona. One of my stops was Dinosaur National Monument, a place I’ve wanted to see since I was a kid. The enormous fossil wall at the Quarry Visitor Center was absolutely spectacular, not to mention the ancient petroglyphs, hiking trails and breathtaking landscapes. One more item checked off my bucket list!

Last week my son and I flew out to Utah for an 8-day road trip where we visited Dinosaur NM, Arches, Canyonlands, Mesa Verde and Zion (plus Monument Valley and Antelope Canyon). It was absolutely epic, a trip I’ve been planning for years, and we had a blast. For us Zion and Arches were the highlights, but every park was amazing.
