Day 2 of old Halloween costumes. Here's me as Batman in 1976. My mom sewed us lots of costumes and clothes. What a labor of love! I still wear it today! Just kidding, look how small that thing is. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #halloween #batman

Sharing some vintage Halloween costumes of mine this week. That's me as a ghost, back in 1975? 76? That's my neighbor Scott as the Devil. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #halloween #costume #ghost #devil #bencooper

Just got this month's print issue of @computesgazette.com.web.brid.gy featuring my six-page review of Boatfest right in the middle. Always cool to see your name in print, always cool to contribute to the community. #c64 #commodore

Fromt his month's @computesgazette.com.web.brid.gy...

Found these headphones for sale recently at a thrift store. Immediately picked them up because of the RadioShack logo... and immediately set them down when I saw the price tag ($52). #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #headphones #thrifting #radioshack

I bought this for a video I'm shooting and haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or not. Okay, I just decided I'm going to keep it. That was a quick decision. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #et #aliens #ufo #plush #dolls

Do you still play old handheld games? I have a nostalgic love of these things but gaming on my phone is so convenient that I don't break this things out as often as I should. And when I do... batteries. :( #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #gaming #retrogaming #mattel #football #handheldgaming

I am trying so hard to downsize my collections, but when you see Fisher Price Adventure People stuff in the wild, you buy it. Period. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #fisherprice #fisherpriceadventurepeople #toys

I made this video in support of Two Blind Brothers and #WorldSightDay. Also, I meant what I said in the video -- no sympathy! I'm living my best life! youtu.be/tKsGPZwH7XA #TwoBlindBrothers #BlindBoxChallenge #MysteryBoxUnboxing #blind #blindness #cureblindness #stargardt

It started w/an annoying hum & ended w/2 new XLR cables & a preamp. I love my Yamaha AG03 mixer but the preamps are SO hissy. G2G for Conversations from the Darkside, YDKF, & Sprite Castle! 🎧 podcast.RobOHara.com 👉 RobOHara.com/Links #podcast #audiogear

What's something you regret parting with? I regret selling my 720 arcade cabinet. It worked 100% but when I moved I had no room for my arcade machines. It went to a good home but I do miss it. Skate or die! #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #arcade #atari #skateordie

Yes, "popcorn-flavored ice cream with popcorn and salted caramel" sounds weird. It IS weird. But it was also delicious. And weird. From the Choctaw Landing Casino & Resort this weekend. #casino #dessert #popcorn #icecreamlovers

This Five Nights at Freddy's head sold in our booth fast. I priced it cheap and thought some kid might want it for Halloween. I am a fun guy and bad businessman. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #fivenightsatfreddys #fnaf #halloween

TONIGHT! Conversations from the Darkside kicks off this year's HAUNTED season with Aaron and Rob talking about DARK VACATIONS! 7PM Eastern | twitch.tv/amigosretrogaming #halloween #livestream #hauted #vacation #stonehenge

My wife will try on every mask at Spirit Halloween... every mask that everyone else has already tried on. Blech! #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #halloween #spirithalloween #donkey #shrek

Good to see Sam's in the giant Halloween skeleton game. Maybe our 12-foot skeleton needs a buddy to hang out with... #Halloween #Skeleton #animatronic

Some tours are better than others, but all tours that offer free beer are pretty good. Visiting the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland. www.robohara.com?p=15746 #guinness #dublin #ireland #vacation #guinnessstorehouse

Susan and I took nearly 2,000 photos and videos while in Ireland and the UK and this is one of the last ones we took in Dublin. I can see where there are so many leprechauns there -- there are rainbows everywhere! #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #dublin #ireland #vacation

I know prices for these collector glasses keep climbing but $30 is ridiculous. Hard pass. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #superman #batman #collector #collection #collectible

Susan and I rocked out in Dublin's Irish Rock 'n' Roll Museum Experience! www.robohara.com?p=15742 #ireland #irish #dublin #rockandroll #museum #u2 #thinlizzy #sineadoconnor

It's hard for me to part with books so I often scan them in before donating them. I hope some kid enjoys this copy of Star Wars: Pilots and Spacecraft." I'll keep the PDF around just in case I decide to revisit it. Encourage kids to read. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #starwars @goldenbooks

@tyrowo.com In 2024 my wife and I attended Imagine AI to discuss the future possibilities of AI. Today I'm getting ads for "Meta's Muse" on Facebook promising to schedule my life and buy stuff for me. That went quick. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #ai #lasvegas #vegas #conference

Our cat (Carol) hangs out in my wife's office all day. My wife is out of town for a few days and Carol is like welp now you're my human for the next 4 days. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #cats #pets

I bought this 4CD Star Wars soundtrack in a pawn shop back in 1996. After 30 years I decided to oass it along. I hope the next person enjoys it as much and as long as I did! #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #starwars #soundtrack #cd #physicalmedia

Retro jigsaw puzzles are fun to collect. They're usually pretty inexpensive and often consist of original artwork. You can put them together and frame them, just display the box, or pass them along to another collector. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #heman #jigsawpuzzle #puzzles

New Big Rob's Van video premieres at 2pm CST (30 mins). Let's see if this $25 A/C unit from Goodwill will cool my van... or even works at all. youtu.be/Fv4U_E2szeQ #youtube #vanlife #airconditioning #summer

Not sure how many times I can split this video signal but the bottom signal now goes into both the 24" CRT and a 4:3 VGA monitor (which is easier to read text on).

Visiting Dublin's National Leprechaun Museum was like finding a pot of gold! www.robohara.com?p=15737 #leprechaun #museum #dublin #ireland

I was recently gifted this Sony radio and the cassette player doesn't work. This is the one I plan to learn how to replace the belts on. Wish me luck. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #cassette #sony #radio #boombox

We made it home! I'll be sharing some stories and pictures from our trip over the next few days. What an adventure this was! www.robohara.com?p=15734 #ireland #england #vacation

Made it to the airport in Dublin. The beginning of the end!

Waiting to kiss the Blarney Stone.

Bunratty Castle

50mph wind. No good reason to be out here lol.

We are away with the ferries.

‪Having a bit of white pudding with my breakfast. Not bad!‬

Fish and chips hit differently in Ireland.

Welcome to Dublin! #Ireland

@gh-fg.bsky.social I had a great time celebrating my birthday and anniversary... and now we're off to Ireland! www.robohara.com?p=15728

Sound these VEXnet controllers at Goodwill... any ideas? $3/each and from what I can find, are used with robotics. Can they be used as a gamepad on a PC? #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #vexnet #controller #gamepad #pcgaming #retrogaming

What would you price packs of Ghostbusters II trading cards for? I marked them for $2.99 each in our booth and they disappeared almost immediately. Was that too low? #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #tradingcards #topps #ghostbusters

I got my gaming nook mostly set up. HDMI matrix splits all inputs to either TV (LCD or CRT). Nothing is more yummy than playing 8 and 16-bit games on that ikd 24" TV. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #crt #retrogaming #retrocomputing #c64 #commodore64 #misterfpga

Got this vintage radio for next to nothing. The knobs are crackling and the @retroisr recommended I try DeoxIT. Waiting on Amazon to deliver a can! #Vintage #Retro #Nostalgia #Radio #Music

Here's a summary of all the things we did with Aaron and Luke while they were in town. That was a budy three days! www.robohara.com?p=15716
