They don’t make them like they used to

The more I play with my Apple IIc and DosBox, the more I realize how a relatively limited machine can still be fun/useful. Some tools only exist on those machines and I find myself using them more than I should. For example, Disney’s Stunt Island is a very fun game that only works on DOS.
This article covers Lotus Agenda, a DOS-based productivity tool that has a following and is being reborn into a modern OpenSource app.

I learned first hand on Sunday that 90+ degree F weather is no good for sailing. Neither is a lack of wind…or a broken outboard engine.
It’s not the heat…

Wow. It’s hot. It’s been hot for a few weeks but this week is really hot. I didn’t remember it being this hot since I moved to Maryland in 1998 but then I read this in today’s Baltimore Sun:
For example, the summer of 2002 saw 44 days of 90-degree-plus weather at BWI from June 1 through Aug. 31, including one unbroken stretch of 11 August days with temperatures in the 90s. It was among the worst heat waves in recent memory.
The next summer, 2003, saw just 14 days in the 90s.
I had no idea!
