What Makes Old Computers So Much Fun?
Since finally getting much of my vintage computer collection back into a usable location I’ve somewhat run back into a kick of playing around with the old machines and watching / reading media related to them, their operating systems, what have you.

Angry Video Game Nerd – Season 6 Review
Last week I made it a goal to cover all of AVGN Season 6 within a 5 day period. This was, by far, the shortest “season” of the Nerd, at only 5 episodes, and worked out perfectly to an episode each day. I completed this goal and pushed myself into what I consider the “Modern” …

The PlayStation 5 “DualSense” Controller: Much Of The Same, With More We Didn’t Need
Last night on the PlayStation blog Sony showed off an image of the controller for the PlayStation 5, properly identifying it as the “DualSense” Controller.

Getting Back To My Vintage Computer Collection

As Society Falls Apart, My Life Is Mostly Unchanged – Pandemic Log 4/6/2020
It’s been a few weeks since I wrote about the inescapable fact of reality that is COVID-19. In those weeks, things have, obviously, gotten worse. Much worse. We went from having a few cases in my county to over 700, with 13 deaths. That’s just in the county — the state is now at nearly …
