Hi, I'm Benj. I've been collecting computers and video games to preserve tech history since 1993

I started vintagecomputing.com in 2005 and began freelancing shorty thereafter for sites like PCWorld, Fast Company, The Atlantic

I introduced a lot of early video game and microcomputer history to the web

I also make music and created a bunch of joysticks. I run a BBS and a MUSH

Right now, I'm Ars Technica's AI and ML reporter, but history's still in my blood #introduction
