Albert Puskaric - Sound Images | 02/03/2022 |

(Top) We've sold printers, paper and ink to Alberto for a number of years, and finally had the opportunity to see his work when he did a print on one of our demo printers. He does his work as a pencil drawing, then scans the drawing and prints from Adobe Photoshop. The quality and detail in the original drawings is incredible, and the high resolution scans of the drawings maintain the integrity of the original work.
Alberto has been pursuing his art career after retiring from teaching, where he taught classes in robotics, engineering, drafting, art and technical writing. You can see his work at his website Albert Puskaric Fine Art, at many other places on the internet, at 7 Springs Mountain Resort and on the Ocean City Boardwalk in warmer weather.

Thank you, Alberto, for your outstanding art.

The Right-to-Repair Movement | 07/08/2021 |
|

(Top)
An article that just appeared on BBC News: Apple founder Steve Wozniak backs right-to-repair movement.
This is something that IFIXIT and other companies (including us) have believed in for a very long time. When you buy a computer, you should have the right to upgrade memory, replace the hard drive, or repair it if it breaks. It's very difficult to do if everything is soldered on the motherboard - it makes replacing the computer the only available choice. Great for the manufacturer, extremely bad for the buyer of the product. And, Apple has used and refined this strategy to bring them to where they are today.
Steve Wozniak, thank you for remembering your roots. Maybe things are getting better! |
