DSC_3428: Picked up a 1702 monitor for my Commodore 64 about 3 weeks ago, had to pick up a new A/V cable for it to connect to the monitor. The cable arrived from Hercules Workshop in Ontario today -- works like a charm. Spent the evening playing around with programming sprites in BASIC.

The Commodore PET 2001-8. The 8 indicates an 8K model. The lowest memory specification was 4K. By itself, this system is simply known as the Commodore PET or Commodore PET 2001.
PET, as is popularly and incorrectly believed, does not stand for anything, not even Personal Electronic Transactor. It was actually named after the pet rock craze of the 1970s.
The Commodore PET was released in 1977, the same year as the Apple II and TRS-80 (Model I). All three were the first true complete commercial personal computers that started the revolution, but only the PET had the built-in monitor and cassette drive.
The PET's keyboard was unusual in that it was designed more like a calculator's keypad than a typewriter's keypad. This was due both to then Commodore President Jack Tramiel's desire to use existing materials in his supply chain, as well as acquiescing to his idea that since a home computer is a new technology, it shouldn't have to adhere to old paradigms. While interesting, the PET's keyboard was obviously not a hit with users and was soon replaced by a more traditional full stroke typewriter style keyboard, but at the expense of the built-in tape drive.
The Commodore PET features a version of Microsoft BASIC, which was licensed for a one time fee and used in all future Commodore products based around the same 6502 processor (Vic-20, C-64, etc.). Bill Gates and Microsoft would not make that same mistake again.
You can read more about the Commodore PET and many other systems in my upcoming book, or keep visiting Armchair Arcade. See you next time!

Could this be a Holden Commodore SS spotted in the states? It had the Holden emblems on the front grill and on the rims. I didn't see any Chevy emblems which would make this a Chevy SS.

The trawler Commodore in drydock in Ballard at the Pacific Fishermen shipyard. The patches on the hull and designs and colours on the fence attracted me, as well as the way she dominates everything around her. Couldn't quite get the intensity of those patches with watercolour, maybe better done with opaque medium, gouache or oils—or oil pastel.
The Commodore Mine complex of four mine buildings above Creede was served by the railroad. In April 1891, the Commodore claim was staked by John C. Mackenzie. The mine consists of 5 levels with almost 200 miles of tunnels and underground workings lying within the mine. The photo shows portals and support buildings to the left of the ore house and chutes. The Commodore is the southern most mine lying on the Amethyst Vein and was last mined in 1976, a span of nearly 85 years of production.
Based on the general duties Commodore, these two cars will receive discreet lightbars and markings to blend in with traffic on the open roads better.

The yellow cart on top is a Chameleon cart which is a multipurpose utility cartridge that enhances the C64 greatly including giving you VGA output and an SD card slot.

One of my hobbies is collecting retro-computers, focusing on computers made by Atari. I have currently have eleven different Atari-models, three from Commodore and one other model in my collection.
The first computer I ever had was a Commodore VIC 20 that me and my brother got for Christmas in 1982. We got it with some books and some magazines, but no games and no cassette drive at first. So all we could do was type in the game examples from the books, try the game, and loose it all when we turned it off. On top of that it broke after about three days (some hardware error, not our fault), so we had to send it in for repairs. Probably took a month or so before we got it back.
Since we got no software with it, just the book with games and the magazines me and my brother took turn to type in the games that were listed. That way I learned both to type and the basics of BASIC. Didn't take very long before I made my own games for it. One was even so big that it filled up the entire 3K of available RAM....

Old cinema opened 1930, closed 1968. Since then it's been a bingo hall, car showrooms and undertakers, it's now a storage facility.
Other than Rod K., my heroes of cool have got to be these guys. I can never look this awesome, even if I was standing behind a glowing cross and walls of Marshall amps.
Note: Some of you may know my misery regarding when Justice first came to Vancouver. I brought my wide angle lens and was denied by security because I had a "professional camera" (oh please). So tonight I brought my stalker lens and had a rematch with Justice hitting up the Commodore Ballroom. Sweet.
