Lastly, there are some pixelation filters that are pretty much useless. The grey one isn't too bad, but I can't imagine when I'd use that.
Overall, it's pretty fun, but not worth the price.

The filters look OK (especially that monochrome one), but the frames are bad: they take up so many of the already-precious pixels.
But at least they're kind of fun, right? Except for the Camera Frame - that's so dumb.

With a resolution of 1440x1080, I think they were going for that "early 2000s nostalgia" look. But I remember those photos as having more saturated colors and a somewhat higher contrast
Here are four photos showing the basic filters:

I recently picked up a Kodak Charmera!
It's a keychain camera with an LCD screen and USB-C. Because it's so small, the camera is hard to hold level. And the photo quality is absolutely potato.
But it's shockingly fun to use! And I think I can fix the grip with a 3D printed handle.

Electronics time! The plan is to take a PS/2-to-USB A and connect that to USB C breakout board. Externally, there's only a USB C port, so the keyboard should look stock from a distance.

Someone's lying here. I could understand if these dates were reversed, but this seems wrong.

Started the cleaning process. There are no major scratches and any yellowing appears to be superficial. For right now, dish soap and a magic eraser.

I didn't have the correct sized socket that was long enough to open the case, and I didn't own a key cap puller. 3D Printing to the rescue!
The wrench was modelled in FreeCAD in like 10 minutes, and the key cap puller is from PZI 3D on MakerWorld. Both have held up perfectly so far.

This keyboard is shockingly not too bad on the inside! There's some spilled coffee(?) and one standoff was broken. Also, no sign of any popped plastic rivets!

I'm restoring an IBM Model M from 1993!
It's in really great shape, but the permanently attached cable is starting to fray and the dongle chain (PS/2 to USB-A to USB-C) is annoying.

Saw a similar one the other day: a line of beautiful old brick houses with a one story strip mall attached in front.

Because I know Python, but not data science, I plotted all of the winning Powerball numbers.
Don't actually bet off of this, but if you win, all I ask is for a small underground lair complex.

Nah, I want this car. It's like a tiny version of Bonnie and Clyde's car. It's parked in the hallway of a museum dedicated to ketchup and Mister Rogers. I bet the horn goes "owwoooogah"

The museum notes for the radio; it's the second entry. Also, look at the entry above: Betty White and Daniel Tosh got hitched?

Look at this tiny transistor radio!
It's slightly larger than a matchbox, but smaller than a credit card. The brand appears to be "Candle". Unfortunately the museum note has no other info.

These "entry level" web programmer requirements are fantastic! If anyone out there knows JavaScript, Perl, and C++, I found you a junior dev role.
