This year, I gave a special gift to some of my family members.

I digitized, or at least attempted to digitize, all 20 of the reel to reel recordings my late grandfather had done on his unit.

One of the reels had what was apparently a 1972/1974 Christmas day recording of the family opening presents, singing Christmas songs, and chatting together.
My grandfather smartly preserved that space in time, and I've now digitized it for future generations.

jasonnab,

At one part of the audio, I can hear what I'm sure sounds like an 8mm or Super8 home camera being used. We have those 8mm films still, they just need to be digitized.
I am then hoping to digitize (in 2023) those tapes, find the footage, and combine the small video portion, with the digitized audio portion; a small fully featured family home movie moment, preserved over almost 50 years later :)

Oh how the times change... :blobcat:

Photo of a grand hallway with art on the walls, with a large amount of people walking about, well over 100 and quite possibly over 300. Skylights are present in the roof letting natural lighting in.

Finally managed to get a replacement keyboard for my older Sony VAIO laptop. I had spilt water on it many many years ago, and despite a successful return-to-function, many keys stopped working. No longer!

I LOVE this laptop as a "old-school" workhorse, given it has FireWire, eSATA, and Memory Stick Duo ports. Stable, fast enough, and 8GB of RAM+SSD!

Finally some old family recordings. Trying to find just the family stuff outside of the already available commercial music, which was recorded from vinyl to tape.

Picture of two plastic circular objects with magnetic tape, both moving in a circular motion too fast for the camera to capture properly, causing visible motion blurring to occur. The left circular object has the markings "2" and "Radio Shack" on it. The right side has no markings. Both of the circular objects have a rubber stamp looking object on the middle section.

Extra special post: Calvin fighting Santa Garfield

I miss little boo-boo cat :( but I'll see him again soon (I am traveling that's all lol)

Video of a brown and black cat fighting with a stuffed orange toy of Garfield dressed as Santa. The cat is on some kind of fabric with white coloured pattern lines.

I am really curious what this represents within Greece, because the head part is the NFB (National Film Board) of Canada logo; the eye.
