I made a new website!
August 2022
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a developer in possession of a good domain, must be in want of a website.
A homage to user experiences gone by.
Classic Mac OS has a special place in my heart. As well as the place that I would go as a boy to play my games, it was where computers really began to open up to me. There was something about the Mac as a window into another world that I can still feel the excitement of.
The Mac had this intentionality about it, which I could sense then, which made me want to dig in and know more. I wanted to know how it was made. I wondered who it was made by.
Many people have recognised the idea that computers are a place for children to have control. For me, having a place where I could arrange the icons and fiddle with the settings was amazing. When you’re a kid, you don’t get to change much about your world - the adults are in charge. But here, things are different.
Check out the new site. Feeling nostalgic? PCE.js by James Friend is a great way to reminisce. An entire Mac Plus in a browser tab!
