Mr. Means cut off his braids a few months before receiving his cancer diagnosis. It was, he said in an interview last October, a gesture of mourning for his people. In Lakota lore, he explained, the hair holds memories, and mourners often cut it to release those memories, and the people in them, to the spirit world.

Floppy Emu is a floppy disk drive emulator for Macintosh computers, using an SD memory card and custom hardware to mimic an external 3.5″ disk drive and floppy disk. If you’ve got an old Mac 128K, 512K, or Plus but no floppies to use with it, then Floppy Emu is the solution. The device connects to the Mac’s external DB-19 floppy connector, and behaves identically to a real disk drive, requiring no special software on the Mac. Disk image files are stored on the SD card from a PC, and then read and written by Floppy Emu during the normal operation of the Macintosh, with each image file appearing to the Mac as a different floppy disk.
