#diskmag

Consider, perhaps that diskmags were cool as hell and the Amiga’s might have been the coolest of all. You can really see the through line from fanzines, to these, to the fansites and blogs of the early web. And, of course, torrent sites lmao.

Not exactly a text post, but here's a video recording from my talk from Evoke about how we turned age-old diskmags into something web-readable. Best enjoyed if you're into byte-level hackery, reverse-engineering, oldskool DOS culture, and self-indulgent projects no-one understands.

Sorry about the visual, I'm aware I look like someone left a kiwi in a bucket of drain cleaner for a week.

Wake up, babe, I got a website now!

First article is posted, too! It's basically just an expansion of my earlier Tumblr post on Amiga diskmags, though.
