Going to VCF Midwest next week? While I'm unable to go, a portion of my vintage computing and game console collection will be! My good friend Steve will be hosting these items for sale at his table (C216/C217), so be sure to go say hi and check them out!

To be clear I don’t think the iPhone Duo will flop because it’s a bad product. On the contrary, it’s probably really good. I just don’t think there are many people who want to deal with folding and unfolding their phone.

I’m usually not all that into the music Apple plays before one of its event videos, but this mix kinda slaps

Does anyone out there have a copy of Bob Brant’s book Upgrade Your Macintosh and Save a Bundle? (Note that this is different than the Build book!) I got a former library copy that came without its slipcover, hoping someone is able to scan it! There are NO images of the cover on the Internet.

Ever have a project end up not quite meeting your expectations? That’s how I’ve felt about my turn-of-the-millennium vintage PC — and in the process of making it right, I almost killed it. New video!

Hey guys! I hate to post this kind of thing, but I figured I would reach out as I am in need of employment. Looking for any engineering/technician related position, willing to relocate down-the-line but not right now until there's enough equity in my house where I can sell it. Let me know!

Was about to buy it, then I got to the checkout and it said tariffs would be $150. Nope.
Anyone out there have a newer Crumpler Brace laptop bag? I’m normally a Timbuk2 guy but my Commute is getting worn out and I’m not crazy about their color options these days. Curious how the Brace may stack up.

The mid-90s did not treat Apple well, and the company released some pretty, well, mid products. But was a seemingly mediocre model actually all that bad? Let’s find out!

Life has been busy lately so I haven’t been able to make new videos as quickly as I’d like, but my latest project has turned into a bit of a handful. Internet points for anyone who recognizes what this board is from!

Bloody hell Digi-Key has gotten ridiculously fast…placed an order and within an hour they had the box handed off to FedEx. No idea how they can be that efficient.

I hate how ephemeral the Internet has become. Now it’s starting to affect music. I spent an hour trying to find a place to legally buy a download of an album from 2015, and the only places left are the iTunes Store and Amazon. Nobody has it in lossless, unless I wanna buy a used CD copy from Japan.

Apple’s clamshell iBook G3 was as influential as it was colorful. But it was also not exactly the easiest computer to repair. How bad was it? Let’s find out!

Not only was the Supreme Court's Callais decision cynical and wrong, it has now resulted in the Republican governor of Louisiana declaring state of emergency to cancel the ongoing congressional election. If you think this ends in Louisiana or with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Just a few years ago, a prolific enterprise firewall manufacturer released what should have been an incredibly powerful home WiFi router. Let’s just say…there were issues.
