Can a Commodore 1541 disk drive be used as a general purpose computer? - YouTube

I modified the KIM-1 kernal to run on a bone stock Commodore 1541 disk drive. That's right -- zero hardware modifications. I'll walk you through the theory behind this, and everything I needed to do to make it work, then I'll show you a Hello World example in both BASIC and machine language running on a Commodore 1541 disk drive.

Not only are the graphics adorable (Megaman jump!), but the 8-bit version of Daft Punk’s “Derezzed” works perfectly. I just wish it was longer.

Countercomplex: Defining Computationally Minimal Art (Or, taking the "8" out of "8-Bit")

"The defining element is LOW COMPUTATIONAL COMPLEXITY, as expressed in all aspects of the audiovisual system: the complexity of the platform (i.e. the number of transistors or logic gates in the hardware), the complexity of the software (i.e. the length in bits of the program code and static data), as well as the time complexity (i.e. how many state changes the computational tasks require). A more theoretical approach would eliminate the differentiation of software and hardware and talk about description/program length, memory complexity and time complexity."

"Another day, another Watchmen videogame, although I'm not sure which consoles this one will be coming to. FYI, it's technically safe for work, but it's probably not safe for coworkers, unless you want them to think you're some horrible pervert or something. If you do want them to think you're a horrible pervert, there are probably more effective videos to watch, though. "
