I have mentioned in previous year-end videos that I'll try to release a video every two weeks (Saturday mornings) however work and life takes priority. Right now I'm trying to sort through some time-sensitive paperwork and I will need to take a break for a bit while this hopefully gets sorted.

If I win the lottery I won't be talking about it...but there would be signs.

I’m rocking the boat and keep buying things on eBay to trip-up customs to liquidate it and so far everything has arrived. >_> Here, have an excellent condition reel to reel machine with an audio issue.

“Just watch how in just one video you will INSTANTLY feel 25 years older! I Guarantee It! BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! It’s also another great LGR video that you get at no extra cost! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? YES YOU CAN!!”

Call David kinda nutty, the paper clip once again proves it’s reason to exist.

If anyone needs my updated key, it’s “3”.

After being told for 20something years to watch Battlestar Galactica (the newer series) I finally saw a few episodes yesterday end-to-end and..... Who here has watched a soap opera? Who has seen The Days of Our Lives? The plot progression felt exactly like a daytime soap opera, but in space.

For you folks out there who own a nice and shiny '82 Eagle, in a recent purchase of parts I also received the owner's manual along with maintenance schedule/reference. You can now find both on the Internet Archive! archive.org/details/AMCe... archive.org/details/ECaR...

As one of the showrunners of Vintage Computer Festival Midwest, my responsibility is all of the presentations, including making sure they get onto YouTube. 27 talks, over 23 hours of video. They start going live tomorrow. youtu.be/yAlKatCoV7U?...

40 years ago today the 1986 World's Fair (better known as Expo 86) would officially close, marking the second successful World's Fair Canada had thrown in only 19 years and last time the Expo would ever take place in North America.

I was feeling greasy watching the #kamloops mayoral candidate debate on TV, so I had to counter it with some greasy fast food.

DOS Friends! A new mTCP is available! This version is mostly a maintenance release, except for NetDrive which has some major improvements. (It is faster, especially on remote links.) Downloads and release notes are at www.brutman.com/mTCP/mTCP.html. #retrocomputing

Understanding that medically this week was a write-off because I can't hold a soldering iron, there will be a video tomorrow but there will be nothing spoken and you only see my face for half a second. I hope you like watching people build stuff. :P

Still enjoying coffee through a straw… 😑

October continues to prove I only win the worst lottery prizes. Through a *comical* series of errors, a soldering iron I was holding was launched from my hand and I have burned my lips quite badly. This is not funny. This is extremely painful. for obvious reasons, no videos for a while.

You ever had a project on the bench for two weeks you just did not want to do? 😩

I can’t believe we are already a week short if 15 years since we lost Dennis Ritchie. We’ll I guess today is a great day to reflect on everything he gave to the world of computing. You are reading this using something based on his work.

The realism is incredible! 🤩

Drat! The super-specific terminal I've been looking for finally surfaced, but it's owned by a prop rental service and isn't actually for sale.

WOAHHH! Forget paper maps and isometric views, THIS is an awesome 3D map that the #VCFmontreal team launched today! cvcfed.org/vcf-montreal...

Oh joy! A bad drive! 🔊

Bought a McNadda because I didn’t want to spoil my dinner.

I feel better knowing I'm not the only person who feels that the battery repairs for these are nothing short of unsanctioned torture.

You can never escape Steve Moraff.

Broken selfie stick, $3 clown nose and a bit of rubber cement. Now I got a telescoping pointing stick! *Fear Me!*. >:D

My VCF Midwest video is out! youtu.be/STZGsqSh8GE

Hmm. Someone had a hot mic. 🔥

When you loan things to “that friend” and you drop in to ask if you can get your keyboard back.

The ferrous nature of JB Weld means that something as easy as gluing a magnet to a driveshaft can be a chore. It keeps sucking up all of the epoxy and wearing it rather than letting it puddle underneath.

This is a factory made ribbon cable for a tape drive. What the hell were you on, Wangco?

I don't remember the Galaxy S looking like that but...I like this alternate reality.

One person left #VCFmw without a muffler. One person left VCFmw with a new friend. 🥹

I'm hoping everyone is enjoying VCF MidWest because I got a sunburn today. >:T

Ka-boom!! 💥 Who would have guessed a tiny tantalum capacitor would make such a large firework?
