The Atari 800 was one of the first home computers to be released, after the TRS-80 Model 1, Commodore Pet and Apple ][. I still love the case design - looks futuristic in its own right. It had a real keyboard, unlike the 400, twin cartridge slots and four joystick controllers. I remember desperately wanting one.

I made this image with the exposure blending tool from Digikam using nine exposures. Parts of two and one whole IBM Model M keyboards are in the picture along with an Atari 2600 styled USB joystick.
The first comercial arcade game, Computer Space, developed by Nolan Bushnell, was based on the classic video game SpaceWar!, and was released in 1971. Though it did not did sell well, Bushnell would nonetheless make a much bigger name for himself when he went on to found Atari.
I'm playing Atari - Donkey Kong to be exact - with my childhood best friend Timmy Whitehead. This was one of the last times I saw Timmy before he moved away.
Three proofs arrived today from the print shop: Musica Viva, Robot Rock and Atari.
NOTE: I am currently seeking permission from Atari to make this poster available in my store. For those interested in purchasing it, I will certainly keep you posted. Fingers crossed.

Well I received an Atari 2600 for Christmas, so I'm going to try and make it out of Legos, and I decided to start with the controller. I think it turned out really well.

Nearly 80,000 of the Syrians who have escaped the deadly war raging in their country have sought shelter at Jordan’s largest refugee camp, Za’atari, where UN Women provides economic empowerment and protection programming for women and girls.
Operational since 2012, to date, UN Women runs three ‘Oases’ safe spaces for women and girls, which receive approximately 5,000 visitors per month, of which close to 1,000 are regular users. The spaces offer economic opportunities, protection referral services, day care services – to allow parents to work, and life skills such as Arabic and English literacy and computer classes.
Fatima is engaged in UN Women's cash-for-work programme in Za’atari refugee camp as a tailor. She and 50 other tailors produce 4,537 school uniforms and 1,000 comprehensive maternal kits per year, which are distributed by UNICEF to school-aged children and new parents in Za'atari, in exchange for the completion of post-natal immunizations and breastfeeding classes. This work links women's labour to the camp-based economy, allowing them to utilize their skills to the benefit of their community members. For many it is also the first time they have received financial payment for their work. Monitoring shows a 20 per cent reduction in domestic violence as a result of engagement in this programme, highlighting the powerful impact of livelihoods as an entry point for preventing and addressing gender-based violence, if undertaken in a long-term and holistic manner.
