Getting close to finishing my VHS focused video editing Mac app, @videobarbershop.bsky.social and created this account to post app focused info. I’m hoping to have it done and live before Xmas.🤞 📼💈

Broke out in a rash once in Vegas. Luckily I had gaudy silk boxers and shirt, only fabric that could touch my skin and not make it worse.

YouTube video by Found Footage Fest It's Mask Me Another 2025, the World's ONLY Halloween Game Show

On Mask Me Another it’s a plastic mask blast from the past! This year, Nick, Joe, and Caitlin (Shaturday Morning Cartoons) battle Tim, Roy, and Skip (Shaturday Morning Dyna-Show) watch as the teams struggle to identify vintage Halloween costumes based on their crappy plastic masks! Tonight 9pm EST

The Chargers look like 1940s speedy comic book superheroes… either that or Looney Tunes sports team who suddenly got scared by Bugs Bunny releasing a charging bull onto the field.

Just noticed “breaded shaped” like what a sad novelty shape… types of bread.

YouTube video by Video Rescue Center Jim Jarmusch 1990 Interview on Champlin on Film

Going through old taped off TV VHS and discovered this interview with Jim Jarmusch from 1990 by Charlie Champlin for his Bravo show Champlin on Film.

Have you tried the black and white or silent films section? They should be easier on the phone.

Shotgun Red VHS, man with an incredible mustache and bouffant with a cowboy puppet

This month’s VHS of the Month Club arrived today from @foundfootagefest.com Looks like I’m in for a treat!

Tried capturing a video of using my video editing app and it worked well but the onslaught of “ums” and “uhs” made it clear I need to try again and bullet point an outline to refer to. Vamping is quite a skill.

Video editing app for the Mac is in its final stages of development and entering the “let me just polish this one thing” phase. I expect that phase to continue for the foreseeable future and drive me into a downward spiral of madness.

Do they have a roommate who only knows JibJab ecards?

If you’d like to keep track of my thrifted commercials, I’ll be focusing those posts at @adverse-archive.bsky.social

Latest compilation:
80's Computer Commercials (and one jealous of computers)
One viewer noted how forgettable all computer commercials were as opposed to others. It is odd as they were also a product of a time systematically pivotal in a societal shift.

Now they tell me! Today I learned…

“Twitter for Good”

Well, that didn’t age well. Probably not surprised it’s for sale at the Friends of the Library store.

Serious Fondue Rodeo - ep 2 - Movement Technology

Playing with Adobe Premiere

Episode 2 of Serious Fondue Rodeo (holding to my plan for episodes to be available on the 1st each month) is in the can for tomorrow! One of my most ambitious edits... for those that stick with it until the end. Pretty proud of this one. www.youtube.com/@SeriousFond...

Watched a double feature of 1995 Jumanji and Bring It On. Kirsten Dunst as a kid overcomes a cursed boardgame in an alternate timeline, but without that formative experience she grows to be a ditzy head cheerleader and goes to Nationals. Her once resourceful little brother becomes a jerk slacker.

I really think this would be a great topic for discussion @dannybkelly.bsky.social @craighorlbeck.bsky.social @dannyheifetz.bsky.social

SlingTV is getting sued now by ESPN for offering a day or weekend pass for $5-10. Can you craft a menus of viewing options via free antenna, Prime for Thursday, new players in the market? How budget friendly can you actually get for Fantasy Football? Or is it not for the Average Joe anymore?

For example, YouTube TV was like $80 but multi-hundreds for football options… but it became less valuable as Paramount and others seemed to cut deals and cut into it. With the economy as it is, it’s just too expensive to blindly subscribe to everything… but where are those lines of content and value

Please consider a topic for a show: trying to reduce our budget as we can’t afford all the packages and streaming we had last year… what options are there for watching on the cheap to stay on top of Fantasy? Antenna for local, Amazon on Thur with Prime, how else can one fill out viewing options?

My favorite time of the year!

Them, 1957

Have you noticed anything glowing at night around the neighborhood? Barrels for example?

Maybe, just maybe, the real ticket out of this hell hole were the friends we’ve made along the way.
Thank you, Melindas!
