RIP to Don Lancaster! I knew him best for the legendary "TV Typewriter" project. In the early 70s, the TVT enabled the appropriation of televisions as microcomputer displays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_TypewriterLancaster's homepage ("Guru's Lair") is a stunning record of his interests. The breadth of topics is overwhelming: hiking guides, DIY archaeology, Postscript hacks, wacky predictions ("Hangnails rapidly becoming a qualifying condition for medical marijuana.")

@driscoll What a loss! Yeah don did so much and was a great guy. We emailed a bit over his postscript hacks, some of which I borrowed for a project (Story Teller). What a nut. His solutions to problems were always direct and idiosyncratic.

@tomjennings @driscoll I think he would have loved being described as "always direct and idiosyncratic" !!
