I've finally got everything in today for getting to the next major milestone on the Coleco Adam PSU I've been working on. And it is now a real functioning thing!
There are a few minor issues that I need to sort out but there isn't a ton left to do now before I can wrap this up as phase one and get a video made ab...
Sorry this one is a week late. I've still been putting a lot of time into the Coleco Adam PSU project. But I also realized my last few videos hadn't been that great and decided I wanted to really step it up for my next one.
So this is the first normal video I've ever done where I wrote a script then shot the video. &nb...
Sorry this one took so long, I actually had it done Thursday but had to wait for approval from the sponsor to release it. I'm going to rethink how I handle that in the future.
But, I actually got a lot of other work done while I was before and after this! I'm working on a new power supply kit for the Coleco Adam! I hav...
I should be starting to get caught back up now. I had to go out of town this last week but my schedule is free and clear now to get back to video production!
Oh yeah, I tried a completely different style of color grading this time. Some shots I think came out really good, others could maybe use some more work. But I th...
Oh man there were so many delays on this next video, I'm sorry it's so late.
I had three projects fail on me in a row I tried to make videos out of:
- The TRS-80 Model 4 definitely needs work on the floppy controller
- The Tecmar jrCaptain I was given doesn't work and may have a bad PAL
- I got a TI...
I've been busier than I thought on getting everything back into presentable shape this week and I'll try to get a video finished tomorrow but it's not looking great at the moment.
But I do have a couple of things you may find interesting.
On the second channel I put up a short video follow up on the floppy drive...
Here's a behind the scenes
More about stuff I talked about:
Model 4, here is the thread on VCFed: http://www.vcfed.org/forum/showthread.php?71738-TRS-80-Model-4-Only-Boots-to-BASIC

I recently picked up this Model 1 (which is exciting on multiple levels, one of which being that I now have at least some example of the three computers released in 1977!) and I'm still getting to know it. But I had to make a new cable for the expansion interface. It wasn't going to be a long project and I don't normally film...

And the finale! This thing rocks, it's now one of my favourite pieces in my collection and I'm probably going to leave it out on my desk all the time.
EDIT: I mentioned in the video that I'll have a more in depth look at the setup menu in another video. That is shot (I think, hopefully I have everything I need) but I d...
This video has been in production for well over a month now and I'm so glad it's finally being finished. The whole thing is an hour long so I decided to split it into two parts to make it less daunting to begin watching.
There were a LOT of behind the scenes changes that happened while making this video that drug it ou...
I've finally gone back and edited my footage from VCF West 2019!
This was a very different kind of video for me to make. The LTX video was comprised of many small segments but I had a flowing native for that so I didn't have to figure out how to put it together. This though, was starting from nothing. So there...
This is going to be the video I put the sponsor segment in, I wasn't sure about putting up a non-sponsored version here for a few reasons. But the approval and publishing requirements are weird so this is an easy way for me to give everyone here early access.
So this exact video won't be the final one that goes public....
I really didn't like how the last one turned out so I redid it completely. Now I have it finished and working in the video instead of just saying how it will work.

This was a simple video that I kind of needed to make to cover this topic. It's also giving me time while I work on some other more complicated videos.
2019-08-18 03:41:18 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday I received my first offer for a sponsored video that isn't something I wouldn't immediately dismiss. It's not a review, and not just a cash grab like mobile games. I haven't replied yet, but from what I'm finding for estimates on what they may offer, the amount they would likely offer could be around 50X what I get ...

Here's a bit more behind the scenes on what happened for getting to LTX.

Woo! I'm really excited to get this video done and out.
EDIT: I tweaked the video and reuploaded it to blur the emails exchanged back and forth about setting up the booth. I had already removed any sensitive information from the text but it was still making people question it so it was clearly a distraction. This bette...
I'm done gallivanting around for a while now finally(though I'm going to try to make my way out to Dallas to visit Computer Reset at some point). VCF West was a lot of fun and I got to meet a lot of cool people and see a lot of cool exhibits. I think I'm going to have a really fun video from it all, but I'm going to get the L...

Whew, what a wild ride that was!
Sorry I haven't been able to get as many videos out this month, but setting up everything
for LTX took a huge chunk of my time. I had over 20 computers on display and set up for people to use!
I took video and some pictures of everything while I was there but it was really a l...
Hello all!
I figured I'd send out an update on my getting things ready for LTX and video plans leading up to it, as well as some other news.
First off, I'm planning to do a livestream of opening viewer mail tomorrow at around 10am MST (UTC -7). I figure that video type could transition to live fairly well and no...
Finally a video.
I lost a fair bit of time on prepping an i-Glasses! headset for LTX that I thought I was going to get a video out of. I couldn't get the head tracking working on the headset after fighting it(and the 6x86 computer I built for it) for 4 days. While working on that I recorded a little bit of it working ...
It's been a while since the last update but I've got some huge changes for making videos. I've finally got a dedicated filming space!
(when I'm posting this the video isn't done processing on YT yet and isn't up to 4k yet. But it should be there by the morning)
PS: I really think YT is picking the goofiest frame...
This thing caught my eye at a thrift store sitting behind some DVD players. I'm really glad I found it because it turned out to be pretty cool!
There are recordings of music in this video that I did by holding the mic up to a speaker. I think it turned out mostly okay but it's not stereo or 100% representative of the f...
I was asked if there was anything I would like LTX to promote so I whipped up this little teaser trailer. I didn't know when or how they were going to use it but they just posted it to Twitter so I figured I would link it here for everyone as well.
The next video is in editing now and features a Roland MIDI device that...
Another video! This one has actually been shot for a while and I finally got around to editing it. I thought I was going to have to add music to it because I showed a lot of soldering. But I ended up just speeding up that footage with voice over instead. I welcome feedback on that, that part goes by pretty fast but I don't th...

This was a rather spontaneous video because I was really excited to try this thing out. I bought it and filmed on the same day. This is also the first video on the new set! There is a problem though, the server is in the closet in this room and can be heard. I need to figure something out for that.
UPDATE: It's backed ...
Finally!
I had to upload this twice after waiting 2 days because YT never got it past 360p the first time.
But here we are at last! This computer both turned out so much better than I thought but also still needs a little work. No matter what I very happy with the final results and look forward to using it more ...
This is another quick video I'll put out Tuesday, I didn't really think this was all that video worthy when I first picked it up but it has grown on me as I used it. I still need to get the description done but here's an early look at it.
My 486 PC Build is finished. Hopefully I'll get the video edited soon(at least by...
My 486 DOS build is going very well, it's taking longer than I expected but it hit the usable mark today. I just got my copy of Sigil a couple days ago and have been itching to try getting it running on here. Today I finally got a chance and it worked great! So I figured I'd just make a quick video showing that it is possible...

I keep wanting to put out simple little unpolished videos about cool things I have or come across but I try to only put fully produced content on the main channel. Things like the Roland MIDI Organ that I think will take a long time to get to make a video on or something that I don't know if I'll be able to make into a video ...
