The control panel harness arrived this morning, and Donkey Kong is back in the rotation (Don't judge my gameplay, I'm plying one-handed)

My Friend Heather has a show at the Crow's Nest gallery on Peaks Island. This is my favorite photo from Heather's show www.instagram.com/hboody/

I'm hosting an island arcade party/barbecue on Peaks Island on Saturday, and just received this shipping notification for the missing Donkey Kong control panel harness There is no such thing as an arcade emergency, but I hope it gets here Friday. Donkey Kong is my all-time favorite game

October 11, 2025 is a milestone in comedy history. Not only is it the 50th anniversary of the 1st SNL, today is also the final new Dr. Demento show. After 55 years, Barret Hansen is hanging up his top hat. Please go to drdemento.com to hear his all time demented top 40 countdown special.

I'm overdue for a #Conradsarcade post I rewired my Donkey Kong cabinet. It had a modern switching power supply and the harness was a hacked-up rat's nest I installed an original linear power supply and rewired the cabinet with a new harness. Here's what I got: www.youtube.com/shorts/YVdHF... 1/2

I find Odd Tinkering's videos entertaining and relaxing. I often watch them before I got to bed He lovingly and obsessively restores everything from eleventy one year old toasters to this flood damaged Atari 2600 www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7ET...

Finally fired Android and switched to an iPhone 17 Max Pro. This is after 10+ years using Android phones: I had a Google Nexus in 2015 The final straw was the endless Gemini popups that are difficult or impossible to disable in Android. Disabling Apple Intelligence a piece of cake on iPhone

Anyone in Maine can get the Covid-19 vaccine without a prescription at CVS. I saw this on the Maine subreddit, and haven't seen mentioned anywhere else I just got mine today (plus the flu vaccine) at CVS in Portland. Appointments were wide open www.cvs.com/immunization...

Just got sucked into @neal.fun's "Not a Robot" neal.fun/not-a-robot/

I'm in an Irish Pub in Amsterdam Schipol airport, waiting for my flight back to Boston. They just played Barrett's Privateers Unexpectedly hearing about a broken man on a Halifax pier in Amsterdam is pretty awesome

That felt good

Cory Doctorow: Reverse Centaurs (Locus magazine Commentary) buff.ly/k9LcUDH <- this is important insight into whether *you* are using "AI", or employers are using "AI" to exploit *you* . You should read it. It's short.

This photo is epic His name is Strumpfel. Of course it is

Hey Seattle #Mariners fans, If you're going to Tuesday's game, please get there by 6:25, you'll hear me sing the anthem.

One of my favorites was when Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy discussed a lunar eclipse. Don thought that was when "the sun crosses in front of the moon." www.mlb.com/redsox/video...

Cleanse your timeline with the most wholesome Velvets cover ever. Worth watching all the way through.

My wife saw Guided Voices on our Spotify shortcut playlist today and thought they were a religious band I played her Game of Pricks A minute and 33 seconds of punk pop perfection "And I've never asked for the truth, but you owe that to me." www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjZ6...

Tonight is going to be a blast! @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social

I filed a claim against these plagiarists who stole my books. If you're an author: you should too.

Random photo from my garage arcade

We nicknamed a guy The Human Rain Delay. Every meeting he attended automatically became 45 minutes longer. He made speeches and kept trying to re-open previously decided issues. He quoted the Simple Sabotage Manual #2 and #6 chapter and verse Time dilated and @thomdaley.net‬ and I hated him (1/X)

Hey, @khaxan.bsky.social: I've added new items to my sad Yankees fans collection

I was talking to some friends this week about growing up in Southie and Dorchester, and I mentioned the Bellflower Street Fire I lived on Bellflower Street from ~1971-1976. This photo was taken in 1965. The arrow points to my bedroom in the triple decker that me and my 3-generation family lived in

I'll tweak this one: quote post with a lesser-known cover that is superior to the original I'll start: Different Drum, sung by Matthew Sweet and Suzanna Hoffs I'll reply with the previous versions www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRO5...

Got back from a short vacation in lovely St. Andrews, New Brunswick. My son and his girlfriend drove down from Halifax and met us there. She brought some amazing chocolate from Peace by Chocolate in her home town of Antigonish, Nova Scotia Elbows Up! peacebychocolate.ca/products/92g...

"Trying to teach graphics cards how to read" is my new favorite description of AI

There's nothing better than going to a minor league baseball game. At my first Portland Sea Dogs game in a while

The Red Sox are wearing their Green Monster uniforms vs. the Astros at Fenway Park. AppleTV is selling virtual ads using some kind of green screen technology. What could possibly go wrong? I think Jarren Duran just made a great catch in front of the bleachers, but how the fuck would I know?

Gotta go, my ride's here

I'm often struck by how many artists I never would have listened to if I hadn't heard them on Dr. Demento when I was a kid @alyankovic.bsky.social is the obvious one, but there's also Tom Lehrer, Frank Zappa, Kraftwerk, and many others

Stopped by a hipster thrift store in Portland and resisted the urge to buy this Dragon's Lair metal lunchbox

We're watching Narcos season 2 and just got to the episode where Pablo Escobar's on the swing

Just felt this in Miraflores, Lima, Peru. Our apartment on the 9th floor moved quite a lot. Felt like it lasted 10+ seconds. Most powerful earthquake I've ever experienced

I taught a class at the theater on Yokota Air Base outside of Tokyo. The band Halestorm were playing a show that night and we heard them warming up (they were loud) I passed Lzzy Hale and the band in the hallway as they were shown their "dressing rooms" (the men's was the upstairs bathroom)
