I picked up a couple of neat things and decided to make a video about them in time for christmas! Wait, uh, oops
I shot this like a week ago, then uhhhhhh things happened. I did not expect to write, shoot and release a public video in time for Christmas but that kinda took priority once I realized I could do it, and then I was pre...

Haven't done a mail call video in a while, but I got a Commodore 128 from a viewer the other day and figured you all might like to hear a little bit about it, since (IME, at least) it's one of the less-covered 8-bit machines. This video is kinda rough if you ask me because I shot it at home with my awful old Panasonic camcorder (and man, I never...

Hello, new patrons! Since there's quite a few new subscribers after the last exclusive, it made me think that now would be a good time to try to get back to making more of the same.
I'm in the studio quite a bit, doing stuff - some of it's interesting, but I don't record most of it, and that's a bummer. I could record more of it, ...

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to watch my dreary vacation footage! But more importantly, thank you all for supporting me. Let me take a moment to talk about that.

2022-07-17 00:19:10 +0000 UTC View PostNot sure why I felt like I shouldn't post this earlier since I figure people would want to know. My cat, Gibbs, who was sort of a mascot to some viewers, is no longer with us. He got very sick, very rapidly, and we were told there was nothing we could really do other than euthanasia. I was extremely close to him and I am pretty devastated.

Back in March 2021 I shot this entire video about how video mixers work, demonstrated on a specific model I have, then trashed the whole project because I didn't have the space and hardware to do it right (and I still don't) but I found the rough cut on a spare drive today and was astonished at just how poorly I'd scripted it.
