UPDATE: I fixed some minor issues with the video and re-uploaded it. I'm working on subtitles now and when those are finished I'm going to release it. Nothing major was changed from the other version, the video has noise reduction now and I fixed the blurry cable picture. I also fixed the audio c...

Hello all,
It's been a little bit since I posted but I've been absolutely getting my butt handed to me by my next project but it's finally looking like it's in its final form. I've been working on this system off and on for about a year and it's been a wild ride. This last couple of weeks ...
This was a much more involved video to make that usual. But it's was a really enlightening one for me. The course of this video evolved a lot and I think this may have ended up as the most detail explanation of what happens yet.
2020-04-29 03:17:22 +0000 UTC View PostI thought it might be fun to share the music track as it's own thing since I made it and I can do with it what I want! It's 6:30 of a lot of the same stuff so do keep some reasonable expectations. If there is interest I could fairly easily make a shorter ~2m cut of the music in something more res...

This is a short video but it took a lot of work because it is the first one I've made with music, that I wrote myself for it! It's not amazing music, but I think it fits the theme well.
I'm really curious about feedback on this one.
UPDATE - I re-rendered the video to fix s...

Woo!
I'm really happy with how this video turned out. I actually completely re-recorded the whole thing from scratch after not being happy with the first version. The second time I decided to do it like I did the PS 3D Display video and I think that was the right choice. I think I should r...
Hello, I know it's been a little while since I've made a post. I had some personal stuff happen right around the time all the other stuff hit the fan around the world. So I haven't been able to get as much work done as I would have liked.
But my load is lightening up now and I am getting o...
This won't be the final released video because I need to make a few corrections, but this is close enough to done that you'll barely notice a difference.
This was an accidental video in a way. I've still been trying to make the video I wanted to using my PET and it really has been...
Another video!
I figured out what I want to do with these new shorter videos. They're going to be the first new series on the channel called "Micro Tangents". I've gone back and recorded new intros for the other videos to introduce the concept. I'll be uploading those later today. I'm goin...
This was a video I needed to get done before I could more on to the one I actually wanted to do. It was really nice to make a short video from the start for a change. I may be doing another short fix video like this, maybe this could be a series? If I do, I should make it some kind of more generi...

This is an experimental video, this is all old footage that I shot when I built this system or from other videos. I recorded some voice overs and threw a bit of info before the main shot to finish it out.
Originally I decided not to finish this one because turbo displays can be very diffe...
After some of the feedback I got from the Supporter Update video I decided to go back and give this video another shot with a trimmed down edit and splitting it into two videos. I cut out around 15m of random stuff that didn't really make this better and was able to split it neatly evenly between...

EDIT: Oops, I didn't realize this didn't have audio. I'll have to re-render to fix that in a bit.
EDIT 2: Audio is fixed. There is a bit of irony about all of this in the beginning of the video...
This was a video I've been meaning to get to for a while now.
It's 1080p only s...
This is a another video that didn't really go as planned and I didn't really like how it turned out. It's very "rambly" again as well. I'm starting to think more about making more scripted videos now, but that's something I'd rather get into later in a patron update video.
This was me want...
This video fought me for every step of the way to get this done but it's finally finished.
The last adding machine video was far to long and rambly so I went the scripted route with this one and I feel the results are so much better for it. I really like how this video turned out and am re...
Finally a releasable video!
This was a somewhat spontaneous video that underwent some significant revisions while working on it. I got the comptometer in the middle of making it for one...
I kinda went overboard on this one as well. It's got history, cleaning, and tutorials all in o...
This video really didn't go how I planned it to. I wanted it to be a demonstration of interlnk and mTCP but it I wasn't able to do that in the end.
I'm not happy with this result but decided to push through this one to the end since I filmed pretty much everything. So this can be an exampl...
I just wanted to drop in and say I'm not sure if I'll have a video this weekend. I've been struggling with fulfilling ATX2PCjr orders and trying to get some car troubles resolved while working on a project for a video. I've got a lot of work done to the point where I'm pretty much ready to shoot....

Finally a video about these is ready. This ended up being more the kind of video I wanted to see about these systems before I picked them up because there is very little out there that shows you all around them and talks about transporting them.
I wanted to give you all an update on this because it has been taking up a ton of my time. I've finally finished getting the Data General systems set up again just as they were before I moved them and I'm now finally able to begin working on them. But I'm going to be going really slowly on this s...

This was a fun idea I had to try out and I'm happy with the results overall. Using a Power Glove on PC!
Also, an update on the Data General. I was able to successfully pick it up! I have some pictures up twitter if you want to get some sneak peaks. I'm probably going to record a pickup/int...
So.. this last week I've been working on setting up a new filming area to record at and that's been going pretty well. My plan was to record a simpler video towards the end of the week for a Friday release.
Well also for this last week, I've been in contact with someone local about a Data ...
This was a very interesting and unexpected video to make! I was out of town and had the opportunity to visit a viewers impressive vintage PC collection for a few hours. This computer really struct my fancy though and I thought it was worth making a very informal video about!

Another video! This is probably my most requested video since this has been visible in the background a few times.
A few of these have been featured in videos already but now you get to see them in a more natural state. There are a couple of things here that will probably get there own vid...
This was something I picked up a little while ago because it put a smile on my face. It's not the most exciting video but maybe it will appeal to some people like it did to me.
This was an effort to get a lower production effort video out before I had to go out of town. I think I co...
This was not a video I planned to make. I was totally derailed from a bigger video project by this and lost about a week and a half to testing and tuning this.
One thing working on this video really highlighted to me is that I need a different dedicated area for setting up computers where ...
I'm beginning to start the name change on some of the sites for the channel today. I'm still going to hold off until the next video upload to rename the channel.
I really wasn't expecting it when I made the announcements but a fair number of people became new patrons after I released the v...
Here is the long awaited name change video. I also took some time to talk about some other feelings I have about the channel and how I'm going to work on it in the future.
EDIT: I fixed a small issue with the Tech Tangents animation by replacing it with an image. I forgot to add the fade o...
The next video I make is going to be an update where I change the channel name to Tech Tangents. I'm working on making new art assets to go along with this right now and I'm working on a new animated background to use in voice over segments where images are shown. In the past this has been the da...
