A look at an early key telephone system, and the modern homebrew key service unit that drives this one.

Greg Ercolano's YouTube channel, where he's posted a few videos of the 1A2 KSU and how it has evolved over time:

Exploring a professional VCR and the historical videotape format it uses.

Finally installing one of the beastly cards that 93shadow generously sent me. And solving the subsequent freak-outs my computer does every time I change the hardware.

A viewer and friend of the channel generously donated the gifts in this package. Lets see what it contains.

A video monitor at the TV station that hides a sweet little secret about its capabilities.

A rather pointless trick with a crude and inconvenient result, but fun to try anyway. A good backup solution if your life depended on a printer?

以“轻盈出走”回应时代节奏。古董望远镜的象征意象引领探索，设计在幻想与实用之间取得平衡。欧根纱、双面羊毛与柔软皮革等材质被创新演绎，构筑轻盈飘逸与实穿主义并存的造型。透明面料营造光学幻象，色彩灵感来自日本彩妆，皮革花卉以立体手工塑形呈现。廓形兼具建筑感与自由度，剪裁与镂空展现感性张力；马甲、胸衣及针织单品带来层次与几何美感。鞋履与手袋则延续极简优雅，点缀以品牌标志性饰件。

A demo and some history behind a neat Christmas gift to myself.

A quick look at some very retro cool Christmas lights I bought on Amazon.

A beast of a Betamax VCR that I only recently learned was lurking in the TV station's storage room. Will it work, or is it another 30 lb paperweight?

Update: I unfortunately discovered during a longer recording test that there are bad capacitors, or some other issue, that causes the head drum to slow down and eventually stall during recording or playback. Replacing capacitors in the head drum servo circuitry and on the head drum itself did nothing (it actually worsened the condition), so I will be washing my hands of it and sending it to someone who is interested in it. It was fun while it lasted.
