The ZX Spectrum was launched 1983 as #Timex Sinclair 2068 computer on the US market. With a #Z80A CPU running on 3.5 MHz this beautiful #homecomputer was capable to draw electric images on a regular telly. With a resolution of 256×192 #pixels even limited to 15 colours it was great for the budget.

Print'n'Plotter sold their #graphics software under the same product name #Paintbox like #Quantel, but for #Sinclair #homecomputers. While #colourClash was a serious limitation in the 80s, it's a #8bit #cgi #glitch effect today available in smartphone camera apps.

Our #vector #graphic #illustration of this legendary #retrocomputer is a form of #digital #lithography. #IT's made in #svg tech and created with #Inkscape, not #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai

I figured out automating the MP3 glitching I describe in this blog post! reillyspitzfaden.com/posts/202

It's extremely basic, but I almost never use Python, so I'm glad to find that it works. The code is on GitHub, and I'll be adding more as I refine it: github.com/reillypascal/mp3gli

Trump is such a little amateur. After the biggest fuck-up in years he says:

Donald Trump, when asked on Tuesday about the leak, also said … while adding that the leak was “the only glitch in two months”.

Good that he hasn’t the hand on the button to unleash a nuclear war.

(Not to mention that this is not one "glitch“ but a good number of them)
