The Apple-1 that I sold three years ago on eBay has just been sold again at auction. Including buyer’s premium the total price works out to $340K…the exact same amount it sold for on eBay. I guess there’s no doubt about its market value. šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø.

My parents keep finding boxes of my old stuff, and the most recent find contained a gem…a document that changed my life: the offer letter from @Microsoft that started my career. It blew my mind twenty five years ago and I felt many of the same feelings yesterday when I found

July was our busiest month ever with over two hundred more Starlinks activated by our customers. Data usage was well above two petabytes for the month, and at the current growth rate will be close to 3 PB per month by the end of the year.

Here’s an updated latency map based on the data we’ve gathered from our customers over the past year. Lighter colors mean lower latency and darker colors mean higher latency. As many of our customers are using Starlink on vessels, we have a lot of data on Starlink performance at

This is the hottest summer I can remember in Dubai…this temperature reading was from yesterday after I had been driving for a while and not from the car being parked in the sun.

Latency for our Starlink customers continues to improve…especially impressive considering more than 50% of our customers use Starlink on oceangoing vessels. Average latency is currently at 35ms. It averaged 80ms at the beginning of last year.

It’s both exhilarating and slightly nerve-wracking to power on the 1976 Apple-1 computer in our collection. This is a necessary task to maintain some of the components that might otherwise fail due to prolonged disuse. However, using a computer that’s almost 50 years old and

5,555 Starlinks now under management by @Elcome_Intl! When we first became a @Starlink Authorized Reseller 2½ years ago, we were unsure if we could sell and activate the 1K Starlink Flat High Performance kits we bought upfront. Since then we’ve purchased many more Starlink kits

This new addition to our collection has special meaning for me because Dick Craddock hired me out of college to work at Microsoft, ran the team I worked on there, and has been my friend for more than 25 years.

A recent gem added to the collection: an ultra-rare clear case prototype of the original Macintosh Portable from 1989. This particular unit was given to Apple engineer Dick Craddock in appreciation of his work on the project, including the design of one of the first custom ASICs

I built a new portal for our @Starlink customers to monitor their subscriptions. I made it from scratch using Python to get data from the Starlink Enterprise APIs into Microsoft Fabric and used Power BI Embedded to create the portal itself. It took me four weeks and that was
