a raspberry pi zero with a pi1541 hat showing a set of tactile buttons, a small oled screen indicating a disk being loaded, a rotary encoder knob held by a hand in front of a c64 CRT monitor showing graphics from a popular c64 demo, called 'Mojo', from 2023.

TODAY I kept up with the Commodore!

I got a pi1541 disk emulator so I can run those crazy european PAL demos on my 1983 NA C64 with a Vic II kawari small board.

Computer desk space with an old Mac plus, a f256k, a modern PC, a vintage 486 PC. Floating shelves with big box pc Games. A Bench area with various tools for soldering and wire stripping. A full length midi piano is in front of the bench. Various RGB light glares illuminate the wall behind all that.
