Take a deep dive with me into the world of 8mm film and why it's so challenging to digitize these old home movies. 🎞️
This video also includes an in-depth hardware review of the Kodak Reels Digitizer and some hacks to try and make it suck less.

A photo of a little working Macintosh Colour Classic on a desk, with a zip drive to the left of it and a bookcase to the right. the whole scene is a kind of very 80s/90s grey-era look, with just a hint of warmth to make it truly beige. On the tiny little nine inch trinitron colour screen is a wordprocessor with a document opened called 'untitled' and the text 'On writing without distractions.' typed on the first line of the document. There is a beige floppy disk in the drive.
On writing without distractions.

Super excited to work on this Fujitsu FM Towns II UG20 computer/game console thing. I had never even heard of it before someone contacted me to work on theirs. Saturday's noon eastern stream will be Part 1: disassembling the thing in preparation for recapping. youtube.com/live/6BAx3hp...

If you could name one person who ABSOLUTELY exemplified the title of "True Macintosh enthusiast," who would you say?
<nods head slowly>
Sure. Yes. Absolutely. All excellent choices!
Here's an interview with 65Scribe instead.

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts Santa Claus. He says, "Have you been naughty or nice?" Panel two depicts a happy dog. He says, "I am ALWAYS a good boy." Santa responds "Very nice!" Panel three depicts Santa again. He says "...And you?" Panel four depicts an orange cat climbing a Christmas tree, turning his head to look back at Santa.

A picture of a short USB cable with two rows of connectors and 6 data two ground pins per layer. One's a male and one's a female end, in gold connectors. The USB logo on the top of one of the connectors is an absolutely eldritch wacked out knot of a diagram.
