But honestly who else is talking about it? How many transpeople are there in the realm of technology that are out and talking about this stuff? And if I don't use my voice and position to put some truth into these extremely contentious debates in my own state and country then how can I just...

A two month long project that fulfills an 8 year long quest to know once and for all what the original writing instrument was for the famous Maillardet Automaton, which is housed at the Franklin Institute here in Philadelphia. The machine was created in the 1790's, almost certainly as a collabora...

Ending The Trans Sports Debate
A simple solution to transpeople competing in sports, and a mic drop - but nothing changes the fact that the idea of any purity in sports is just stupid to begin with.
2022-06-19 19:23:55 +0000 UTC View PostDown Under (1970)
This Bobby Dazzler of a film is a thing of beauty and a joy forever! A vintage Pan AM 16mm reel about the mysterious land Down Under - Swingin' 'Stralia! This go-go dancing, miniskirt sporting, roo-hopping romp has lots of groovy music, almost all of which had to be removed due to no less t...

Calories: Enough Is Enough! (1974)
Yea, they wouldn't show a film like this to kids today - but it is a time capsule of American teen life in the early 1970's, with lots of vintage foods. Sure the films has turned pink, but it's not the restoration that gives everything that wash of beige - life was pretty beige back then - even t...
2022-06-18 14:57:33 +0000 UTC View PostApple (1970)
No - not THAT Apple - but a Bell Telephone film that is part DADA, part Freakout, and part info-doc. Definitely a strange one.... and this is the stuff we used to see in elementary school! Far out! I transferred this reel with my Eiki Telecine, so enjoy!
Crossroads Crash! (1965)
This 16mm film has lost its color, but not its message - keep your eyes on the road! Or else! I transferred this reel with my Eiki Telecine, so enjoy!

Effective Writing Outlines - Computers (1973)
This classic 16mm Coronet film gives us an updated take on the previous "Flannel Boards" film from 1958 but this time with synthesizers and punch card data entry! Lots of nostalgic peeks at mainframe computers of the early 70's and how to put together your own Scattergram. I transferr...

This 16mm film has lost its color, but not its message - and that is to never forget that we are all salespeople. Life was very beige in the early 80's! Don't fool yourself- we are all selling all the time. I'm selling this video to you right now.... and you'll be selling something la...

This very pink and faded 16mm film is chuck full of interesting lab set-ups and is still very informative and enjoyable. Much correction was required, as I show at the very end of this video. I transferred this 16mm reel with my Eiki Telecine. Enjoy!
Civil Defense: Heat Wave (1973)
Another 16mm film in the strange series made by American Civil Defense in the early 1970's for various preparations for disasters of all kinds. This reel is mostly pink and required a lot of correction. I transferred this reel with my Eiki Telecine, so enjoy!
