No, we at Recode aren’t that clever, nor are we that handy in the kitchen. Luckily, a father out there is both clever and handy, and built this with his son and then shared his creation with the world via Imgur.

In one shot, our nominee for Dad of the Year put the gingerbread Apple next to his real Apple II.

“I need to make a modem card for the Gingerbread II, then I'll be able to connect them together,” he wrote.

We're here to shed some clarity

One of our core beliefs here at Vox is that everyone needs and deserves access to the information that helps them understand the world, regardless of whether they can pay for a subscription. With the 2024 election on the horizon, more people are turning to us for clear and balanced explanations of the issues and policies at stake. We’re so grateful that we’re on track to hit 85,000 contributions to the Vox Contributions program before the end of the year, which in turn helps us keep this work free. We need to add 2,500 contributions this month to hit that goal. Will you make a contribution today to help us hit this goal and support our policy coverage? Any amount helps.
