I often reminisce about programming into the late nights to make a pixelated wizard move around the screen with crazy 8-bit sound effects. I did waste a lot of time sitting in front a flickering screen avoiding exercise and women. I guess not much has changed, but at least now I get paid to do it. My beverage of choice back then was Tab instead of Mountain Dew.

Now I have my wish, Jason Winters of PicoBay has developed the Picodore 64 — an ultra portable Commodore 64 laptop. It is an impressive hack of many systems all packed into one stylish case. Check out the project and his site — you just may learn something. Jason is a true hacker.
