I will be attending the VCF Swap Meet in Wall, NJ on Saturday, October 18th this year.

I'll also be attending the last 2025 MIT Swapfest on Sunday, October 19th.

Just dropped a new video!
This @hackerboxes.bsky.social (#0117) is all about RFID: dual-frequency readers, writable tags, and an NFC dog tag you can program yourself.

It’s a great intro if you’ve ever been curious how contactless cards or badges really work.

I was on Dave's Vintage Apple Tech's stream yesterday to share my walk-through of the September 21st MIT Swapfest.
I show up at time stamp 11:25 from the start of the stream

Looks like I haven't played in awhile.
I finished creating my BRB scene in OBS for use in future live streams

I'm now the proud owner of a Macintosh 512K

Hot take: Tim Gunn was the best part of Project Runway. Inspired by him, on Saturday's noon eastern stream, we'll try to make these wrongly-spaced 30-pin SIMM sockets work to repair a SE/30 logic board... without the use of enameled wire.

Listen to me!

On a mountain of skulls, in the castle of pain, I sat on a throne of blood! What was will be! What is will be no more! Now is the season of evil!
I, Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, command you!

Find me a child that I might live again!

So I learned something cool last night.
For anyone who has watched that Zero Wing meme video All your base are belong to us (youtu.be/qItugh-fFgg?...) and wondered how the voice of CATS was done, wonder no longer!

The voice is from an old Windows app called TalkAny. Voice is "Big Robot"

Be there in a minute...... #mondays
