Streaming now at @pancakescon.com -- I did my through hole soldering demo and @se.gfau.lt is talking about multimeters now! Lots more to come - including a workshop on @kicad.org taking a project from breadboard to PCB. #MakeAllTheThings #HackAllTheThings

I swear I'm not doing this on purpose!

If you were all "I wish I could have a window open that tracked how many total items are at the Internet Archive with a little emotion icon of @brewster.kahle.org next to it", you're in luck. mirrorball.textfiles.com/archivecount...

#VCFMW - Saturday afternoon, by the valet station: Man 1: "What kind of event is this?" Man 2: "Some kind of old computer sci-fi thing." Man 1: "Can't be a sci-fi thing, too many of these people smell like soap."

VCF Midwest walkthough has been released! While relaxing trying to get over my illness, I decided to edit video youtu.be/KcctUXD7ybo

For #Septandy I tracked down an old Radio Shack Armatron 🤖 One of my favorite 80s memories. And yes, I had to repair it before I could play! 🎥 New video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EG65...

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON. Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!

Digging around for a transcript earlier and unearthed this forgotten gem from the past. :D RPG!

Shout out to the shady tel peeps at #vcfmw that helped me test my rotary butt set! In all the years I've had it and lugged it around I don't think I'd ever rigged it up to test with any atas/etc.

Didn't do any wild retro scores at vcfmw but I did pick this up which I was kind of coveting. 😄

Retro peeps save some cool stuff for me Okay?! I'm running late! Juicing up! #vcfmw

ShadyTel is now operating in your area! (If your area is VCF Midwest) #VCF #VCFMW #VCFMidwest

I’m set up and ready! Are you? Come find me at VCF Midwest! - Table I-12

My god, they’re just out here selling socks with LGR’s CD-keys on them, the humanity

A pile of URB Paul's Commodore 64's waiting to be repaired. I like to give them a quick look over to see if I can spot the potential repairs they need. Spider warning!

The ruling deems the government's termination of grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities "unlawful" and allows a lawsuit brought by humanities groups to move forward.

Ran out of time to do these last shirts at the makerSpace so made do with the hotel setup. 😆 #defcon

Just dropped a new video! Took a plain ol’ office PC and gave it a second life as a budget gaming rig. $400 was the target, and I think we nailed it. Everyday tasks? No problem. Gaming? Surprisingly solid. Come see what we cooked up: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpnz... #budgetgaming #rx6400

Just a heads up that Sean Lee Robinson aka "Geek with Social Skills" has been sniffing around again. Folks who may not know, this is the guy who scammed members of the vintage computer, telecom, arcade and console communities. Made a video about this loser: youtu.be/hRkPCjVhM8c Don't get scammed!

Either politicians become YouTubers or YouTubers become politicians. That is your choice.

Just dropped my HackerBox 0112 video. • Charlieplexed LEDs • HDMI graphics from a microcontroller • NES controller hat • Giveaway (US only) Big thanks to @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social for sponsoring this one. 📺 Watch here: youtu.be/6BdoARUCqF8

Does this mean I'm famous now? Woah. All I did is want a cool thing for folks. :D arstechnica.com/appl...

“What’s our target?” “Several dishwashers and a prep cook.” “Damn. We’re gonna need body armor, night vision scopes and stun grenades for this one.” “…wait…” “IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT.”
