I've created a video essay on a concept that I find mandatory for discussing retro technology. I did a bunch of r...

Mail Call 2 [Jan 8, 2021]

I shot this last night because this huge, anticipated box had arrived and I wanted to put this subject to bed. Th...

I said I wasn't gonna make a video this week but there was a lull in AGDQ runs and I got restless. I'm not convin...

Mail Call [Jan 1, 2021]

Here's my first supporter-only video, I hope it's the sort of thing you want to see. Like I said before, when I get stuff from eBay etc., it could be eons before it gets into a finished video, since I prefer my public stuff to be tightly edited an...

Tiers added

I added the tiers I mentioned earlier, but if you're already pledged you need to go to your membership page and join those tiers. This is particularly necessary if you want to join my Discord, which I've just set up. Not sure what to do with it, b...

Tiers

Edit: After some excellent input, I think I'm happy with the tiers I've outlined for the time being and will implement them later. I'm not sure if you'll need to select these or if it'll automatically put you in them based on what...

Previews (better)

I didn't have my studio lights up for the previous images; I still don't have the whole setup hung up (hence the harsh shadows) but I wanted to show you that under better lighting the color is a lot more vibrant.

My eyes kinda auto-white-bal...

Previews

Building a new "set"

I live in a very small house in a part of the country where houses are not typically very large. I know that compared to an apartment this is probably a mansion, but to put it simply, there are very few parts of this house that are useful for my p...

Hi everyone!

Wow! I'm surprised at how many people are throwing money at me!

So, if you read my Patreon description or past posts you might know that I make no specific promises, which is still true, but I just want you to know that the money I get here ...

Removed rewards

I am not reliable enough to offer any kind of rewards or commitments so I removed them all. You can give me money if you appreciate what I'm doing but I can't promise anything.

New Video: Eclipse Tripse

I hit some Goodwills and saw the solar eclipse. It was exhausting but worth it!

Old Apps Episode 1, Part 2 uploaded!

You finally get to see Quick & Easy CAD! May god have mercy on your soul

Audio upgrade

The white noise in my videos should be a thing of the past. I just picked up this AT wireless mic kit today and the quality is fantastic, so now I will actually have a mic on my shirt collar instead of two feet away and the Yeti will be reduced to vo...

New article about ADHD posted

Over the last year I've had several long, disjointed tweet threads about ADHD. I decided to compile and extend them into a complete article, so here it is.

Heads up, new vid coming

Look out tomorrow morning for a new video where I *create* and test a piece of late 80s PC technology. Just finished editing it but it's far too late to post it tonight. Sleep well everyone!

Vlogue 2 posted

Just uploaded a video documenting my whirlwind tour of Seattle's premier vintage junk shops. Follow along with bated breath to enjoy the surprise at the end!

First episode (part 1) uploaded!

I just posted the first proper episode of my vintage software series. This part focuses on games, which happened to be pretty bad for the most part. This ran to 20 minutes so I decided to split the utility into a separate video which I'm still shooti...

Bluetooth module ordered

One of my planned projects is retrofitting vintage clock radios and boomboxes with Bluetooth receivers. I ordered some modules and found out they're so barebones that they're kinda outside of my skillset. A few days ago I found a module on Amazon tha...

Great news!

My capture card ISN'T DOA! I mean, not that I was TERRIBLY worried that it was, but, it isn't. It just doesn't work with my desktop PC's extremely early USB 3.0 chipset, so I sent away for a replacement PCI-E card through the post. It has a ...

Vintage Software Project Video posted

I've been delayed in getting into the meat of this project since I still don't have my video capture unit working, so in the meantime I've posted a video shot on camcorder demonstrating what sort of software I want to explore on my channel!

Disk imaging setup complete

I have a second OS (netbsd) loaded on my Pentium machine solely for imaging disks so I can share any software I'm testing. Just finished getting it set up and ripped my first couple floppies!
