I'm SUPER excited... this weekend I've successfully hacked this Kodak Reels 8mm film digitizer, allowing me to modify the firmware to decrease the horrible default video compression. This produces much better results! 🥳

I’ll be at VCF Midwest next weekend, I cannot wait! I hope to see you all there. 😊

I’ll be at my buddy @RonsCompVids 's table - so be sure to stop by as say hello! 👋

I spent part of my birthday picking up nearly a dozen floppy disk storage boxes from a local sale. So yeah... a totally normal day!

Thanks for all the cool bday wishes and such! 🎂💾

Late last night we had to say goodbye to our sweet Gus Gus. 💔 For nearly 11 years she brought us love and so much joy. Her & her 4 siblings were a surprise litter from a rescued butcher shop bun from NY. She was the last surviving bunny of the group and leaves our home so empty. We are so thankful for all the happiness she brought us over the years. 💐Please remember, adopt don’t shop... and rabbits are NOT Easter gifts.🐰

This world is such a terribly wasteful place...

There's a video going around of an iMac being through into a pile or ewaste and setting off a chain reaction of iMac like dominoes.

Outdated policies prevent working PCs or parts from being donated to institutions who may have ZERO equipment.

These could have been used as media players, for educational games, or to teach others how to repair electronics. 👎 Ugh

I should be packing before VCF Midwest, but instead I'm poking at dead PowerBooks! 🙃 Join me!

What Mastodon client do you all recommend for iOS?

I keep trying different ones and they are either buggy, don’t refresh well, or just act odd.

I invented a thing!

So it's time to perform some questionable surgery on my Performa 550 to add some SCSI voodoo to it! 😅

Our poor bunny Gus Gus hasn't been feeling well for the past few days. 😟 Hopefully the new medicine helps. It's so painful seeing her so out of it and unlike herself.

I'll be a bit quieter online until she's back to normal.

Happy Birthday to my YouTube channel I guess!🎂

It has turned 6 years old (on September 25th to be exact), neat!

Thanks for all the views, likes and subscriptions - and a special big thanks to all my supporters! 🥳

Well… that went totally as planned… 😅

A new build of the Mini vMac emulator brings BlueSCSI disk image support and no longer "pauses" the emulator when your cursor isn't in the window. This is so very useful! 🎉

Well, this is an interesting piece of software. Behold the Kodak Mac photographer! 💾✨

It appears to be an emulator to help you learn how to use a Kodak film camera. It lets you select your lens and film type, etc. Pretty neat for 1993!

So uh, that person near Philly still has a basement FULL of NEC CRTs and Pentium II systems! 😳

I stopped by yesterday to get some matching NEC mice. If you’re in the area message them and check it out and share this post! 👍

I’m so happy to be beta testing this new feature for @MuseumJoe@bird.makeup ... for when you need another BlueSCSI from https://www.JCM-1.com ASAP!! 🤣
