| A Deeply Nerdy Conversation With the Team Behind Star Wars Card Trader Posted: 16 Jun 2022 03:45 PM PDT  Before you ever heard of NFTs, maybe you heard about the $225 jpeg of Han Solo. Back in 2015, I wrote an article about a Han Solo card worth over $200 in an app called Star Wars Card Trader by Topps.

This time, Ethan Peck's Spock took the limelight again—and although… |

As it turns out, they had every right to be, as the "revamped" service was absolutely terrible—so terrible that Amazon had to promise some (very basic) improvements a mere week later. However, the new Comixology is still… |
| This Custom-Built Miniature IBM Model F Keyboard Is an Absolute Work of Tech Art Posted: 16 Jun 2022 08:25 AM PDT Even having grown up using Commodore 64s, Apple IIs, and IBM PCs, I have no fondness for mechanical keyboards.
