Paul Terrell - Exidy Part 2 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper Hello, and welcome to episode 129 for August, 2023 of the Floppy Days Podcast, with your host, Randy Kindig! If you're a regular listener, you'll know that we're in the middle of a series of episodes where we talk with Paul Terrell. Paul has been credited with essentially jump-starting the personal computer industry in many ways, not the least of which was by buying the original Apple I computer from the just-getting-started Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak and selling it in his equally-famous computer store, The Byte Shop. This was one of the first personal computer retail store chains in existence. Paul was also a member of the legendary Homebrew Computer Club and attended the West Coast Computer Faire. He was involved in the development of both the Exidy Sorcerer and BYT-8 computers and he later went on to start ComputerMania Inc. which was a chain of computer stores created with the purpose of renting computers and software. The first episode with Paul (June 2023's episode) was a sort of overview before Paul's time being involved with Exidy and the Exidy Sorcerer computer. Last month was segment 1 of 2 focusing directly on Exidy and the Sorcerer. And, this month is segment 2 of 2; again focusing on Exidy and the Sorcerer. You'll hear more about how the Sorcerer came about, hear Paul's insight into why certain design decisions were made, and what mistakes were made. The Sorcerer was truly an early, important machine, and had impressive features for the timeframe that it came out. As a reminder, if you want to hear additional information about the Sorcerer and about Exidy, there are 2 other Floppy Days Podcasts you'll want to listen to: Episode 17, where the Sorcerer is covered in detail - https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-episode-17-the-exidy-sorcerer-live-from-vcfse-20 Episode 114, which features an interview with Howell Ivy. Howell was the principal designer of the Sorcerer and recollects his time at Exidy. - https://floppydays.libsyn.com/floppy-days-114-howell-ivy-exidy-sorcerer-and-exidy Paul decided he would really like to be able to talk about his incredible career in its entirety, including an amazing number of industry-impacting contributions, more than just the time with Exidy, and I of course was ecstatic that he decided my humble podcast could be a good medium for that. What that means for the listener, is that you can expect an even broader series of continued podcasts with Paul in the near future, interspersed with other computer-based and interview episodes along the way. I really hope you enjoy the Paul Terrel series in general, and this episode should give you a nice wrap-up on his involvement with Exidy and the Sorcerer!

This week in Asian American Politics: - Many low-income Asian women live in conservative states where abortion is now illegal, with one of the main states being Texas. Contrary to what Texas says, it's time to mess with Texas so they stop messing with basic rights. - South Asian Studies programs are being created at more universities. The twist? They're mainly offered at Ivy League$ and there are plenty of white professors teaching it who probably say "chai tea" - NYC Announces Gun-Free Zones, and we get to see another example of taxpayer money being wasted on big signs that no one reads. - Starbucks has a new CEO! He's South Asian and very likely a union buster. I can already see the Nextshark article that ignores the second point. - Oli London finally apologies for trying to be Jimin but also still identifies as Korean?

Mom gets revenge on nosy neighbors using ‘drug-addled whores and drunks' She made dummies out of them. A Michigan mom got the ultimate revenge on her nosy, spying neighbors — by adorning her garden with maniacal mannequins dressed as “drug-addled whores, drunks and accident victims” to give prying eyes something to stare it. Photos of her dummy security system are currently going viral as fans praise her ingenious method of exacting vengeance. “I just set up the poses and laugh,” Flint native Tammy Zuniga told Kennedy News of her hilarious hobby. Indeed, the 45-year-old nurse's lawn is littered with passed-out drunkards — festooned with empty beer bottles — and scantily clad “dirty hoes” posing next to signs warning people not to feed them drugs and other lewd messages. In one humorous scene, a ladder accident victim is sprawled atop her roof beside a star-spangled cowboy hat like something out of a bizarro nuclear test town. The mother-of-two started erecting the purposefully profane displays two years ago as a “diversion.” She wanted to stop being “irritated with her nosy neighbors,” who allegedly spied on her while she was working. “I paint garden art out in my garage, I'll make hundreds of statues. It's my hobby,” explained the artist. “I'd be out in my garden working on art projects and I would see blinds moving in windows. There would be pictures being taken.” Along with snapping photos, the intrusive snoops would also tell Zuniga to paint with her door closed — a request the artist deemed ridiculous as she'd be unable to breathe. That's when she decided to turn her artistic talents to trolling her tormenters with riff-raff facsimiles. “The first one I did, I set up a mannequin out on the porch wearing a sweater,” described the gleeful prankster. “The neighbours were so intrigued. I heard noise outside and looked out my window. Sure enough, they were all out there staring.” Next up, Zuniga hung a dummy from her garage for a whole month, Kennedy reported. She said the mannequin was so realistic that people would stop their cars on her block “because they thought somebody needed help.” “I try to keep a straight face through it all,” mused Zuniga. “I figure that if the neighbors think I'm crazy, they'll stop bothering me.” It appears her neighbor-dissuading dummies are paying dividends. “It's worked for the most part,” she said. “Neighbors don't really talk to me much anymore, which is kind of nice. They probably think I'm the weird mannequin lady now.” The mannequin maven, for one, says she's having a blast with the gag, describing: “What's really bad is that I now seize every opportunity. Whenever I see them outside, I feel the need to set up the mannequins. I get excited to see them now, it's not even normal.” The sight of her spying neighbors used to make her blood boil. However, now the giddy gal says she's “looking out my window to see their reactions to my mannequins,” adding, “I'm having so much fun with this.” “Now, I can't even be mad at them, because they've got to put up with me!” added Zuniga, who says the only problem is freaking out the repair people. “The hardest part was whenever I had someone come over to install a water softener or whatever,” she explained of the doll-lateral damage. “I'd forget to tell them that I had mannequins and not to be alarmed.” The jokester added, “They'd show up and they'd be like ‘Oh my god! I didn't know what to think, I thought I'd have to save somebody!'” And Zuniga isn't stopping her antics anytime soon, most recently putting up two ladies of the evening in spangly miniskirts and gaudy cutoff tops that display their midriffs. The inventive artist even posted signs that read “A dirty hoe is a happy hoe” and “Please do not feed the whores drugs.” The latest display will reportedly be up and trolling neighbors until winter. “Initially when I set them up, I thought they were going to be my last display,” said Zuniga. “But I don't know anymore — I really had fun with it.” Despite her dedication to her doll-arama, the trickster says her goal isn't to ruin her neighbor's lives. She explained, “There could be way worse neighbors. Mine are just really incredibly nosy. I'm just trying to entertain them.” 10-year-old kidnapped after baseball practice punches man to escape When an Oklahoma mom arrived at the baseball fields to pick up her 10-year-old son after practice, she reported he was nowhere to be found. Other parents and players were already looking for him, she told authorities when calling for help. Oklahoma City police officers were responding to the missing child call at PCAA Fields when they learned the child had since been found. He and his family were waiting for police by the time officers arrived shortly after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 3. As his parents tried to comfort him, the 10-year-old boy was “crying and shaken up” while reporting what happened, according to a police report. He says he had been sitting by himself on the upper left side of the ball field bleachers after baseball practice — waiting for his mom — when a man carrying a “briefcase” grabbed him and forced him away by holding his chest, authorities said. After he was taken at least 200 yards away, behind a nearby building, the boy reported he “was able to punch (the man) and break free.” He then frantically ran back to the bleachers looking for help. As the suspect was moving quickly back toward him, the boy told the officer he decided to hide. The man ran away, police said, and the boy was able to reunite with his family. Meanwhile, authorities say a groundskeeper on a John Deer Gator had followed the suspect out of the ball park. He “provided a grainy cell pic of the (suspect), who appeared to be wearing black colored clothing and carrying a handbag or briefcase type bag.” Responding officers found a man matching the description, police said, and the boy then identified him as the same man he punched and escaped from. The man, later identified as 39-year-old Ryan Wayne Miller, was arrested on a kidnapping charge, according to jail records. He is being held on a $50,000 bond. The boy says the man did not “make any statements to him” or assault him, according to the police report. Kidnapped girl's escape leads to discovery of two bodies in Alabama A young girl chewed through restraints to escape a rural Alabama home where investigators later found two decomposing bodies, authorities said. José Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, is facing kidnapping charges and multiple counts of capital murder in connection to the bodies found at the home after a 12-year-old girl was discovered walking along a roadside early Monday in Dadeville. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett told reporters at a press conference that a driver picked up the girl and called 911 — setting off an investigation that led to Pascual-Reyes' arrest and the gruesome discovery, AL.com reported. Pascual-Reyes, who remains jailed pending a bond hearing, was arrested in Auburn. The bodies were found in his Dadeville home, not far from where the girl was discovered wandering alone. The decomposing remains have been sent to the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences to be identified, Abbett said, adding it's unclear how long they had been there. “It's a fluid investigation,” the sheriff told reporters. “Things are changing, and I don't want to jeopardize the identification of our juvenile.” Court filings obtained by WSFA show the girl had been tied to bedposts for nearly a week. She was assaulted and plied with alcohol, but managed to escape by chewing through her restraints, the documents show. Authorities did not indicate whether the girl knew Pascual-Reyes, AL.com reported. “I would say she's a hero,” Abbett said. “It's one of those things we won't get into until later. We gave her medical attention. She is safe now. We want to keep her that way.” 911 call reveals doomed North Carolina pilot jumped before emergency landing A 911 call released Tuesday revealed that the co-pilot who mysteriously vanished midair in North Carolina had “jumped” out of the aircraft. Two Federal Aviation Administration employees could be heard saying that Charles Hew Crooks' co-pilot reported that he leaped out of the damaged plane before it made an emergency landing at Raleigh Durham International Airport on Friday, WRAL reported. “This is from Raleigh Airport,” an FAA air traffic controller said on the recording. “We have a pilot who was inbound to the field. His co-pilot jumped out of the aircraft. He made impact to the ground and here are the coordinates.” The 23-year-old Bucknell University graduate's body was later discovered in the backyard of a home in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, about 30 miles south of the airport. In the 13-minute call, an FAA employee said Crooks' co-pilot had reported he “jumped out without the parachute, so he might have impact to the ground.” “I am sure the pilot is going to be shaken up,” one FAA employee said. “I have no idea. He literally just said, ‘My pilot just jumped out.'” “Once the aircraft had landed, it was reconfirmed based on a report the pilot said the person in the aircraft had exited the aircraft prior to landing,” Wake County Emergency Management chief of operations Darshan Patel told the station. Crooks' co-pilot, whose identity hasn't been released, was taken to a hospital for minor injuries during the landing. He was discharged later that day. UK prison guards given ‘banter lessons' so they don't offend inmates There's no poking fun in this pokey! British prison guards were sent to classes for “banter lessons” to avoid hurting jailbirds' feelings with good-natured ribbing, according to a report. Sixteen officers at the Moorland Prison in Doncaster, England attended the workshop to avoid bruising the egos of inmates — after prisoners filed 51 complaints about “offensive language” over the past year, according to the The Sun. “There are all sorts of initiatives and workshops these days to ensure prison officers don't breach equality rules — but a banter workshop is a new one on me,” a former prison staffer told the outlet. He said sensitivity training about someone's race or disability is fine, but that classes advising guards not to make playful wisecracks is over the top. “You can hardly even take the mick out of the football team someone supports,” he said. At least 49 officers at the 1,000-capacity clink also attended an online workshop that teaches diversity training over the past year, officials said. “The prison has online equality and diversity training for staff, with 49 staff completing this within the past year,” according to a report from the prison's Independent Monitoring Board. “During the year, 16 staff attended ‘banter' workshops.” French sailor survives 16 hours under capsized boat in the Atlantic Ocean A 62-year-old French sailor survived for 16 hours in the Atlantic Ocean after his boat capsized — by using an air bubble inside the overturned vessel. The brave seaman was eventually rescued from the rough waters by Spanish coast guard divers in what they described as an operation “verging on the impossible.” The 40-foot boat, called the Jeanne SOLO Sailor, sent out a distress signal at 11:23 p.m. local time on Monday 14 miles from the Sisargas Islands off Spain's northwestern Galicia region, the coast guard said. Tracking data show it had set sail from the Portuguese capital of Lisbon on Sunday morning. As a coast guard ship carrying five divers embarked on the rescue mission, one of three helicopters sent to aid the search tracked down the capsized boat at sunset. A diver was hoisted onto the ship's hull to seek signs of life and the sailor inside, who has not been named, responded to his banging on the hull by knocking from inside. With the sea too rough to attempt a rescue, they attached buoyancy balloons to the ship's hull to prevent it from sinking further and waited until the morning, with the Frenchman still trapped underneath. Two divers swam under the boat to help the sailor, whom they found wearing a neoprene survival suit and submerged in water up to his knees. “Each life saved is our greatest reward,” Spain's Maritime Safety and Rescue Society said in a tweet. Vicente Cobelo, a member of the coast guard's special operations team, told a local station the man voluntarily jumped into the freezing water and swam under the boat to reach the sea's surface. “Of his own initiative, he got into the water and freedived out, helped by the divers who had to pull him through because it was difficult for him to get out in his suit,” he said. He was airlifted to safety and taken to a hospital but discharged a short time later with a clean bill of health. Chinese man Mao Sheng struggles to find a job with baby-faced looks For this guy, the fountain of youth doesn't have any coins in it. A 27-year-old Chinese man says he is struggling to find a job because he looks like a 12-year-old boy, according to a report. Mao Sheng believes that he is being turned down for employment because companies fear he is an agent the Chinese government sent to expose violations of child labor laws, the news outlet NextShark reported. Sheng persisted in job searching because he was the only person able to financially support his father, who had recently suffered from a stroke. He received several rejections from companies, even when he showed proof that he was born in 1995. A frustrated Sheng explained his struggles dealing with a baby face on TikTok, known in China as Douyin. The youthful-looking man shared an experience when he and a friend applied for the same factory job, but only his friend received an offer. In a follow-up video, Sheng, a Guangdong province resident, let followers know he has finally accepted a job offer. Although he's gotten a job, Sheng says he's is looking into the dating world, which could be another significant struggle for the baby face man.
May Lee is a broadcast journalist who works as a host, anchor, correspondent, and producer. She launched The May Lee Show, a talk show focused on Asian-American topics and stories, collaborating with NextShark, the leading Asian online news source. May Lee describes white supremacy as a plague that has been in this country for centuries. People need to speak up, push back, and stop pretending these events never happened. That's how we build empathy and solidarity with communities outside of our own. Asian women are constantly stereotyped as meek, timid, and submissive, but why is this the main perception? On this week's Motivational Mondays, May Lee shares how she created the "Evolutions of Asian Americans in the Media" course to explain the origin of these narratives and how to change them.

Welcome back everyone! We’re so excited to be bringing you Season 2 of the Rice is Rice podcast. We’ve had a really nice and long break which left us time to think about how we’re doing things and whether we can keep it up. After our 50+ episodes-long first “season” we want to start bringing a ”quality-over-quantity’ energy to the table. Stay tuned and keep up to date with our weekly episodes for Season 2 of Rice is Rice. In this episode, we talk about the recent rise in hate crimes targeted towards the most vulnerable in the ESEA community. Talking about this and doing the research in the run up to recording this episode weighed heavy in our hearts which means we had to split up recording into two sessions. We talk about our personal response to all the news that we’re seeing, whether that’s compassion fatigue or the pain in seeing our own loved ones in the victims of these attacks. Aside from touching on how we personally felt about it all, we’ve tried as much as possible to talk about these issues proactively. Since we know that these incidents aren’t unique to our times we decided to speak about the systematic ways in which we’ve found ourselves in this situation now and how socio-political phenomena like the bamboo ceiling and the model minority myth has come to allow these attacks to happen in the first place.Resources:Response to the Call for Evidence on Ethnic Disparities and Inequality in the UK https://www.besean.co.uk/resources-posts/inequalities-reportA blessing with a curse: Model minority ethnic students and the construction of educational success https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/80788781.pdfMore Filipino Healthcare Workers Have Died of Covid-19 in the UK Than the Philippines.

It's been one year since the launch of "The May Lee Show" and what a year it's been! What started off as a modest attempt at focusing on and elevating the voices of the Asian and Asian American community quickly became something relevant, relatable and reliable to viewers and listeners of the show. From the highest of highs...Parasite's sweep of the Oscars, to the lowest of lows...xenophobic attacks against Asians triggered by COVID-19, "The May Lee Show" spotlighted and tackled issues and topics from a distinctly Asian American angle with depth, truth and purpose. The uniqueness of the show attracted high-profile guests including Maggie Q, Daniel Wu, Kevin Kwan, Shannon Lee, Kevin Kreider and Bowen Yang all of whom spoke openly and freely about things they either rarely or never talk about in interviews. In this anniversary episode, May reflects back on the year with her business partner and friend, Benny Luo of NextShark. They don't hold back on sharing their thoughts, especially when it comes to the ups and downs of a startup and the state of the AAPI community.
2020 has been a year like no other! From the global pandemic that turned the world upside down to the xenophobia it triggered against Asians to the social, economic and political fallout, 2020 has pushed us all to the edge. But it also gave some of us a chance to find more purpose including May. This was the year that she and NextShark decided to launch "The May Lee Show", a program meant to focus on and celebrate all things Asian and Asian American. They took the plunge in early February not knowing what was in store, but the risk has been worth it as listeners and viewers from around the world embraced the program. In this final episode of 2020, May talks about the journey so far and reflects on some of her guests, topics and lessons learned. She, like most of us, is ready to say "SO LONG 2020 AND HELLO 2021!"Please consider supporting the show. Check out our patreon.com/themayleeshow and become a Warrior!

After the last episode of “The May Lee Show” when May and Benny Luo, founder of NextShark, called out the Asian community, especially those with influence, about not being more vocal about xenophobic attacks against Asians, more voices are now being heard publicly condemning racism and supporting the Asian American community. There are also a growing number of grassroots campaigns to raise awareness of this disturbing phenomenon. In this episode of the show, May speaks with Celia Au, actress and activist who is involved with #WashTheHate. May also digs into the history of racism in America with Dr. Connie Wun, co-founder of AAPI Women Lead. They talk about how historic events have impacted the continuation of racist attitudes about minorities by the majority, but also racism within minority groups. What can we learn from history and how can we take those lessons and use them now to incite positive change in order to move forward together?
For several weeks, “The May Lee Show”, a co-production of Lotus Media House and NextShark, has been covering the COVID-19 crisis from all angles, including the disturbing growth in racist attacks against Asians. They have been working tirelessly to monitor all developments using many sources in order to bring listeners and viewers the best information about the disease. Because of their commitment to good journalistic standards, they go above and beyond what other sources on social media are willing to do to verify stories before they report them. They also have been monitoring the activity of Asian American leaders, influencers and celebrities on the subject of rampant Asian xenophobia. Although a few have boldly stepped forward to condemn the racism openly, many others have remained silent. In this episode, May Lee and NextShark founder, Benny Luo, speak openly and honestly about the relative silence from high-profile Asians as well as the work they've been doing to cover the crisis in a deeper more meaningful way for the community.
In our inaugural episode, NextShark founder Benny Luo joins May Lee as they discuss their unique backgrounds, what brought them together, current issues concerning the AAPI community and the ultimate mission of the podcast.

Sonia Hou is a jewelry designer who was featured on CNBC, Pop Sugar, People and Nextshark for designing jewelry for the Olympic athletes. It has been worn by celebrities, featured on numerous national TV shows and magazines. SONIA, a Los Angeles based designer and fashion enthusiast, always had trouble finding stylish, reasonably priced jewelry that was safe on her skin and long-lasting in the sense that it will not easily tarnish, peel or flake. She would shop at major high-end retailers and overspend on jewelry made out of cheap metals that would tarnish in less than a year, and also cause her allergic skin reactions. So in 2013, SONIA introduced a new category in the jewelry world, combining the best qualities of Fine Jewelry and Fashion Jewelry together, forming Fine Fashion Jewelry, using the finest materials found in Fine Jewelry, like 14K Gold Filled /14K Gold, Sterling Sliver, Semi-Precious Gemstones, Swarovski Crystals, and creating a line that was stylish, modern and affordable like Fashion Jewelry. Inspired by the everyday Hollywood celebrities and pop culture, every jewelry piece that SONIA creates comes with a unique story, and her creativity, along with her intricate eye for detail, has allowed her to create timeless designs with a modern flair. SONIA proudly discloses the materials in her line, catering to people who have sensitivity issues. Sonia shares how she was able to take her side passion of designing jewelry and transition to making it a full time career that she loves. Tune into her episode to listen to her story.

This episode we had the pleasure of chatting with another Bruce Lee Podcast Challenge winner, Katrina R. Katrina knew about Bruce Lee as a kung fu master, but it wasn’t until she was browsing youtube one day that she came across an interview Shannon did with NextShark. This interview sparked her interest in learning more about Bruce’s philosophy. After finding the podcast, the Bruce Lee Podcast Challenge popped up and she decided to do the challenge and found it to be extremely rewarding. Katrina is a single mom who works 40+ hours a week and didn’t get out much. Her mom passed away suddenly a few years ago, and Katrina just put away her feelings and stopped living her life. For this challenge Katrina decided to take a big step towards loving herself again. Her affirmations she repeated every morning revolved around self-love. “Some of them as simple as "love yourself", "always look at problems as lessons, not mistakes" and "everyday is only as good as you make it" One of Katrina’s affirmations was to ask herself throughout the day, “Am I being myself today?” Katrina had for doing the challenge is that she wants to be a better role model for her 4-year-old son. “I want him to believe in himself and know that he is capable of anything he sets his mind to, and to of course love and always be himself as well.” For the Harmony part of the podcast challenge, Katrina’s coworkers even noticed a difference. By “letting others be,” Katrina dissolved her attitude and became neutral toward coworkers who are consistently problematic. She was able to avoid confrontation and find a way to flow around the issue, and avoid bringing home her work stress. By staying neutral, Katrina was able to deter her coworkers from bringing her into workplace drama. Part of Katrina’s challenge was “I would feel better in my body if I was myself in my body.” She had been taking her body for granted by working long hours and not taking the time to go out. Feeling better in her body involved Katrina going back out into the world and reconnecting with nature. Katrina’s favorite Bruce Lee quote: “I feel I have this great creative and spiritual force within me that is greater than faith, greater than ambition, greater than confidence, greater than determination, greater than vision, it is all these combined. My brain becomes magnetized with this dominating force which I hold in my hand.” Thank you for sharing your story with us Katrina, we loved talking with you and hearing about your Bruce Lee Podcast Challenge. Interested in the podcast challenge? Go to Brucelee.com/podcastchallenge #AAHA This week our #AAHA is a listener nomination from Christopher who nominated his BIL Keoni Chang: “Keoni was born in Hawaii went to college there and continued on to the mainland for culinary school in upstate NY. Keoni has been a mainstay in the kitchen. Cooking for such places as the greenbrier in West Virginia and the Eiffel Tower restaurant in Las Vegas. He also went on to go back to his homeland and became executive chef for food land food and was given an opportunity to compete at a supermarket chef competition where his recipe beat out hundreds of recipes. He continues to help leave an impact in his community and continue to help grow the food land name. He continues to inspire me not only as a businessman but as a family man as well.” #Bruce Lee Moment From listener Ken M.: As I was riding along beautiful country roads beautiful scenery my mind was filled with things I needed to do after the ride. I suddenly realized I was not enjoying the ride that I needed to clear my mind and empty it. Then I thought of Bruce's pointing finger and then was able to enjoy the Beautiful scenery. At that moment I felt personal liberation from all the responsibilities I needed to do afterwards. I was living in the moment.
