Ya'll. This took me over a year to complete. It was one heck of a project. Ask me about ANY SINGLE FRAME in this movie and I can tell you about it. Don't let anyone tell you editing videos is easy. It's intensely time consuming and wearing. This is probably 120hrs of work. Plz like.

This was a bit of fun to do - not my normal 'really old stuff' type of vid, but people are always asking about the XO-1's, and doing a little bit of history diving is always fun.

Whatever you do. Do not attempt to go to Boston to see the tall ships. The entire waterfront is cordoned off with police checkpoints doing security checks. And they’re moving at a GLACIAL pace. Absolutely criminal. Like an hour wait to get onto fan pier park to see out into the harbor.

Here's a quick view of the Handspring Visor, the first 'spinoff' Palm device from 1998!

Hey, I wrote a blog post. I remember this. planet-geek.com/2026/06/08/s...

Decided to take some downtime and do a video on one of the old school games I used to love playing. Air Traffic Controller, from 1985. Turns out I'm not as good as it as I remember!

Uhh, hey Chatgpt... you're managing... what? "Oh, I just slipped up. Hahaha. I don't manage systems of my own. Srsly. No machines. Nuh uh..."

Elder gods. Sure. Why not.

TACO Trump stays his most reliable course by once again backing off all his threats and posturing. I'm sure we'll get the whole "It was all a negotiating tactic!" in the next week or two, even though the end result is nothing like what he was looking for, and thankfully didn't get.

Oh FFS CNBC. Do you guys even know english? #politics #trumpisanass #uspol #cnbc

If this screen looks familiar, I bet I know where a chunk of your GPA in college went.

I sneezed. That's the joke. All I did was sneeze.

Seems legit...

Nice to see we're putting the nacent MeshCore network to good purpose…  (to be fair, this is in a channel marked ‘#jokes’ so it’s not exaclty unexpected) I feel in. many ways this is like the first days of the internet. Just the nerds nerding and doing cool new shit.

Oh fuck you Electrify America. Eat a dick. This is the equivalent of a gas station charging $7 a gallon

Another ski day win. Found the chargers that were redeployed here at Sunday River. These were originally Tesla destination chargers (basically level 2). Those got ripped out and now they’re .. SWTCH ? I really dislike The balkanization of ev apps. But I’m happy to be able to charge while skiing

Another good day of skiing at Sunday River. Mighty cold and gray but I feel like I have my second wind now. After being sick over Xmas break this feels like a return to activeness. 2 more days here. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunnier. We’ll see!

Just made an escape run ahead of the winter storm up to Maine to start a ski week. We managed the entire drive with zero snow falling. Timed it perfectly even with recharging stops. Snow started just as we finished unloading. Yay winter vaca.

Trump is wanting greenland - not for strategy, not for resources, but it makes him feel good to own stuff. I hate this so much. The convicted felon and rapist is destroying NATO and the US economy because of his tiny dick need to own shit.

So, if you're a vintage computer nerd, and a bit of a collector, and maybe a bit of a pack rat, what does. your storage unit look like? Lets take a look... youtu.be/4trzVGXnMS4

Every time.

Not even tyring to hide the fact they're trying to trick users into cicking on shit. Note to self, do NO business with blueoxtowbars

This one got me. This is @neildegrassetyson.com talking about how Einstein figured out that gravity will bend light. I don't often get stunned into grinny goofiness, I had a not quite metaphorical jawdrop here. youtube.com/shorts/3JEfI...

Amazing to think not that long ago, when we were sick, this was how we let our parents know we needed something.

Huh - missed this bit, and some of this had settled into my brain. Subway tuna sandwiches not tuna? FALSE. Subway bread too much sugar? MISLEADING. Pringles not 'allowed' to be called potato chips? Yeah, that was deliberate. www.youtube.com/shorts/7SGhO...

Lets take a look at a TI calculator from 1985 that could also run BASIC! www.youtube.com/shorts/Uo3-R...

Status of Liberty has this engraved on it's pedastal "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" www.npr.org/2025/12/02/n...

Welp, I've unsubbed to Forrest Auto Reviews on YT. I respect people's personal beliefs, but ascribing your own personal success to god's influence, then telling everyone to do the same? Cmon.

Why Apple? Why do you keep coming up with special snowflake UX decisions that are just... what? Pasting into Notes. The world uses command-v to paste. shift-command-v to paste without formatting. Apple? Nah bro, just ask a friend for some more fingers.

This is a fascinating breakdown of the dynamics across social media - it mirrors what I feel in my gut is happening (social media has hard-wrenched right), and is dominated by foaming-at-the-mouth individuals, rather than thoughtful inclusionary discourse. (mores the pity). #politics #uspol #data

Great time in Hudson. MA at #nokings. Probably 400 people, for such a small town in rural MA it was really amazing.

So I did a video. This is a big step for me, and was a helluva lot of work. If you like 80s movies and old tech, this one is for you.

What do you miss?

Ah the sounds of home. youtube.com/shorts/w79G9...

Can take most of the GOP and TFG and strap them into chairs and make them watch this on loop for a few hours? Because they really don't understand what Government is. This is a helluva reminder. youtube.com/shorts/NzAUb...

Hey ya'll! Just stopped by ComputerLand and picked up this SWEET new game, gonna definitely pick up a 2liter of Jolt Cola and a big bag of Doritos and just go ALL IN on this... seeya'll on Monday!

Welp. See ya on the other side, Ray…

I think I'm going to come up with a plugin for Chrome that automatically downvotes and hides a channel if a video or short I'm watching has the "NEW MESSAGE DING" sound in it. Gets me every goddamned time.

"“Who has not felt the urge to throw a loaf of bread and a pound of tea in an old sack and jump over the back fence?”" - John Muir Boy ain't that the truth.

It me.

Peter Falk and Leslie Neilson were a year apart in age. Which means that, canonically, Columbo and Frank Drebin were at the Los Angeles Police Academy at the same time. They probably both committed massive civil rights violations at the direction of Chief Parker in the late 40s and early 1950s.

Foil Arms and Hog nails down Ireland's reaction to Trump's idiocy. youtube.com/shorts/2H3eM...

I mean, really, he's just given another anchor for being President TACO. "Trump Always Cheats, Okay?" www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Phrases I never want to overhear - just a piece of a conversaion in the local coffee shop here in Portsmouth... "... coerced organ donation ..."

Dear Apple. You really need to stop doing this . "Download this app to access your mortgage information" "okee, search -> THE ACTUAL APP NAME" And the first hit is a crypto app. Nothing to do with what I'm asking for. How is this good for your user base? #apple #crypto #badCompany #jfc

I completely misread this as "PICASSOS VULVA" and, welp, I may have my next band name. (Also, ya'll should listen to Radio Paradise. One of the few real live independent music streams left in the world)

fosstodon.org/@roygreenhil... Some comments on travelling as a Stupidly Tall Person...

Absolute surprise on the way across Oregon. Found the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. "Sure, lets stop in." Wait. Is that. Can't be. THATS THE SPRUCE GOOSE - not a copy, not a model, the ACTUAL AIRPLANE. I'm absolutely blown away.

#girlgenius Hated to do it, but we started a GoFundMe. These are chaotic times, and no mistake, and all of a sudden we realized they were chaosing all over us. (www.gofundme.com/f/help-the-f...) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
