Hello again!
Due to the weird schedule this week, the full episode won't be available until later. I'd hate to keep you in the dark that long, so here is a 16-minute excerpt from the rough cut.
Graphics need tweaking, b-roll needs to be added—it's far from done, but I wanted to get something out there. ; )

Hey! So during the webcast today, I briefly mentioned the Computer Clan would launch official merch! It's happening!
This is one of the first shirts we'll have available! No one outside Brent and I has seen this yet, so I wanted to give you the inside scoop ; )
I'm wearing this to the Vintage Comp...

Here's some "ancient" video footage of Brainiac Brent's first Power Macintosh G3!
He swung by the lair for a visit, and before I filmed my next scenes, I captured some footage of him fiddling with it. You'll see more of this machine soon, and that bad-ass monitor!
Thank you for your continued supp...

Hey guys! How you all doin'?
A few months ago, I received a super-generous PowerBook 165c donation. However, there were many other goodies in the box, but I didn't dare take a peek until I was rolling the camera. ; )
There were some great surprises in this episode! Above are a few screen grabs fro...

Thanks to Greg and Jay for the help!

Someone contacted me about a broken MacBook Pro! It's got a checker flag, and it's beeping. So it's time to summon Krazy Ken and fix the issues! I'll have the full episode ready for you soon! It will debut to the public on Thursday!

Heya! I recently upgraded the studio with new lights—2,000 tungsten-equivalent watts! In today's Krazy Ken's Mobile Log episode, I show the unpacking and setup of the new gear.
The light is the Aputure Light Storm LS C d120 II.

At long last… the big name in early, graphical computer software—Claris—has returned! FileMaker, Inc. (an Apple subsidiary) has rebranded with the name Claris! To pay homage, I time-traveled through old versions of the FileMaker software (1987-1991).
This is a bonus episode for th...

Before I filmed this episode, I grabbed some quick snippets of the studio. I also filmed an addition blurb, mid-episode.
Enjoy! Oh, I also have a new Krazy Ken's Mobile Log episode coming out soon. It'll dive deeper into the new lighting setup inside the studio.

I'm excited for this one! Fellow patron and collaborator, Greg Hrutkay of Hrutkay Mods, teamed up with dosdude1 and created an iBook G4 Clamshell (aka iClam G4). So of course, the only logical thing to do with such a precious mod is to send it to a crazy IT guy ten stories underground. : ) 2019-08-18 03:00:30 +0000 UTC View Post
Heyo! Blonde Beth and Krazy Ken have a lot of fun on camera, but I can't cram it all into a single episode. Here's a few deleted scenes from the 2 "Computers for Blondes" episodes we shot.

Hey all! Enjoy the early-ish access. This one took a little longer than planned. I'll upload some deleted scenes soon, too. This episode had a lot of footage, and some of it fell on the cutting room floor ; )

What's up, guys?! Blonde Beth is back in the lair, and this time, I put her to the test. She's used to writing on a modern MacBook Pro, but how are her word processing and editing skills on an 80s Mac? You'll find out soon…

The newest episode was kind of a mess, especially with all the coolant leaking inside the Power Mac. Ultimately, it was a disaster, but a FUN disaster! This has never happened on the show before.
Also… this post is using Patreon's new gallery feature! WOOT!

Hey guys!
Here is the full episode of the Power Mac G5 fail…
That's right… this is the episode where things go from bad to "I can't believe I haven't turned this thing on and I already broke it".
The public will see this episode on Thursday, but you get to see it now!
Enjoy.

I grabbed a Macintosh IIvx and a Power Macintosh G3 Minitower. PLUS some conversion technology and an Apple Multiple Scan monitor...

Thanks for sticking with me and helping fund the show! All of you are amazing. We have 4 new episodes planned for this month—including one premiering today.
But that's not all…
Of course we have bonus stuff! If everything goes right, I'll have a Patreon-only 2019-08-01 13:37:46 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys! So I still have PLENTY of Krazy Ken episodes lined up, but I have a question…
What vintage computers would you like to see in future episodes? I've been running around eBay a lot lately (and I've received some generous donations), but I'm also about to hit up the 2019 Vintage Computer Fair Midwest (V...

It's here! Krazy Ken, Brainiac Brent, and Maniac Mike install, and test drive, Zorin OS 15 on a 2009 Mac Pro. This episode will go public on Thursday, but you get early access! Enjoy.

Hey guys! Zorin OS 15 has been a huge request for us. Sorry that I didn't get to it sooner, but I wanted to save it for when Brainiac Brent, Maniac Mike, and Krazy Ken were all together. I'll give you early access to the full episode soon (it's going through post-production right now!). Here's a few preview pics 2019-07-27 20:20:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey! So this is the clip I was talking about on Twitter…
For now, I'm only keeping it on Patreon, and I'm going to send it to some people who can help with this issue—I'm open to your suggestions too.
Listen carefully when I plug the power in, but then brace yourself for a sudden popping sound.

Brainiac Brent got his hands on a 2009 Mac Pro, and funny enough, after filming this episode, Maniac Mike was enticed to buy his own, too.
However, the Mac Pro is missing some parts, so it's up to the gang to get them installed, and throw an OS onto the system.

For the first time ever… I finally have a G5 product in my collection. The owner sold it for super-cheap because it had a "blinking question mark". This looks like a job for… KRAZY KEN!
I'll do a full episode soon… in the meantime, enjoy this exclusive video.
