This is your friendly reminder that I make and sell delightful miniature retrocomputers like TRS-80s, Osborne Ones, and the occasional big friends like Connection Machines and Crays.
I'm a retired nerd who's living the dream. Well, if your dream is working in your garage on tiny art machines. 😺 ⚙️ #retrocomputing#miniatures#trs80#cray#shamelessSelfPromotion https://store.transmutable.com/
Ok, friends. Five tiny TRS-80 Model III models are in the shop!
🎉
This is a bit of a trial to see if anyone digs this sort of work. If not, it's entirely possible that these will be the only five I make so... perhaps a limited series?
😸
If you have questions then feel free to ask them in the thread or via DM. If you have retro PC nerd friends then feel free to send them my way.
In the spirit of Winter being too dang dark, from now until the solstice (Dec 21st) every order from my store will receive a bonus smol floppy disk organizer sized for micro SD cards. In addition, orders of more than $50 will also enjoy free shipping. Stay light, friends. #miniatures#retrocomputing https://store.transmutable.com/
If you've been putting off buying a smol retrocomputer then now might be a good time to look again. I'm clearing out most of my shop and everything is priced to move. In the name of space I don't plan to restock some of the items like the Micro Osborne Ones. #restock#retrocomputing#miniatures https://store.transmutable.com/
Ok retrocomputing folks, the "Help Make the VT100" pre-sale is live!
🎉
To thank supporters for helping fund tooling and time for production I've set this at a lower price and have included a bonus cutie VT100 mini made only for this sale.
💻
If a 1:3 scale working VT100 sounds like something you'd like then head over to the store: https://store.transmutable.com/l/vt100-pre-sale #miniatures#retrocomputing#vt100
Big news on the tiny art machines front: My next miniature will be a lovely 1970s terminal and it will have a working keyboard! 🎉
Tiny switches.
Tiny key caps.
Tiny display.
Tiny serial port.
If you want to vote on which terminal it will be (VT100? ADM-3A?) then join the patreon at the $3/mo tier before the poll goes up next week. #miniatures#retrocomputing https://www.patreon.com/tiny_art_machines
Hey folks, I'm selling a Victorian dollhouse, for pick up in the Piedmont Pines neighborhood of Oakland, CA. My dad made it from a kit around 1978. It's a pretty special thing for the right buyer, and I've priced it very reasonably so we can reclaim the space it occupies in the garage. If you know someone in the area who may be interested, do share with them.
I'm happy to announce that the 1:12 scale Cray 1 miniatures are now available for sale!
🎉
As each of the originals had unique colors chosen by the buyers, I'll work with you to customize your color panels and seating colors. You want avocado green? You got it. You want the rainbow color scheme used on Seymour Cray's unit? No problem.
👍
This is a fun one for me and maybe it'll make your heart grow three sizes.

There are now ten new 1:6 scale tiny TRS-80 Model III miniatures available in my store: https://store.transmutable.com
🎉
They're as cute as a button and last time they sold out overnight. That might be a fluke but who can say? Certainly not me, possibly the worst business(ish)person on the Internet.
😸
I'm working on a few miniatures with active displays and network access but it'll take a week or so to have anything to show on that front.
🕐
Stay smol, friends!

I made some new friends and they're cubic!
🧊
Jobs et. al. created a lovely machine for UNIX-ish people like me so I was well pleased when my Patreon supporters chose the NeXTcube for my next miniature.
🎉
It felt wrong to make a lonely little cube so I made an entire workstation with a wee display that can be driven by Python or Arduino.
💪
As usual, to start I made just 5 to see if anyone (other than me!) wants one.

Hey, if you're wondering how I use FreeCAD to design parts like this miniature computer case then click into this thread where I'll show the step-by-step.

I finally have two electronic Tiny TRS-80 Model III miniatures up for sale.
🎉
I'm not sure whether they will sell at $84 before shipping & tax so if these don't sell then I guess they'll be pretty unique!
🤷
Note: The display is driven by a wee board that runs either CircuitPython or Arduino programs, not an emulated version of TRS-DOS or another retro-OS. That said, it also has WiFi and BluetoothLE so pros and cons. 😸 #miniatures#retrocomputing#sales#trs80 https://store.transmutable.com/l/e-trs-80-model-iii
Today I discovered the work of Miyu Kojima, a Japanese artist who makes beautifully detailed miniature dioramas of rooms in which people have died lonely deaths, a phenomenon called kodokushi....
