I would apologize for posting what at first appears to be another "tech toot"...but since I churned out almost 40 drawings for this talk on the Forth programming language, I don't feel bad about it at all. Here's the slides:

I happen to know some of you enjoy space ships, calculators, and old computers as much as I do.

#MastoArt #RetroComputing #Forth #ConfusedCat

Four slides from my talk, each featuring drawings: Chuck Moore sitting in a chair. Chuck Moore as a wizard turning the integer 4 into 12. An HP-35 calculator. A confused cat using a 1990s era computer with CRT. The mouse looks like a mouse.
Four more slides from my talk with four more drawings: A minicomputer (the size of a fridge) saying "I have 16k of core!" A teletype with punched paper tape reader and writer. Chuck Moore sitting at a Univac 1106. Chuck Moore as conspiracy Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (a screenshot which is often used in memes in which someone is trying to explain something complicated).
Four more slides from my talk, each with a drawing: Forth in Space with Chuck Moore on an EVA from a rocket saying, "May the Forth be with you" (my daughter's idea and I am so proud). The Rosetta spacecraft approaching a comet. The Jupiter Ace home computer. The Canon Cat home computer.
