- IBM IntelliStation M Pro 6898 (1998)
A look at a very cool dual CPU-capable workstation.
Errata:
- The base RAM configuration was 64 MB, not 128 MB.
Other information:
- Retail price was $4000 to $11000, depending on configuration. Mine would have been on the lower end.
- It's based on the Intel 440LX chipset, just like the Dell Dimension XPS D233.
- IBM sold a consumer-grade computer in this same case (although white in color), the IBM PC 300PL. It retailed for ~$2000.
0 min - ReStore vintage electronic finds
Mom and I made a trip to the ReStore a couple of days ago - here's what I brought home.
0 min - WiFi232 wireless telnet modem for vintage computers
A look at a very cool, hobbyist-supported device that lets your vintage computer connect to Bulletin Board Systems wirelessly. Plus a demonstration of a few BBS systems.
0 min - Sony Tapecorder TC-110A cassette recorder (1973)
A look at a very well-built early cassette recorder, that more than surprised me with its quality.
If you want an example of what this recorder was up against, here's a video of a hilariously terrible recorder from 1968:

0 min - Lenovo ThinkPad T420s (2011) - My new laptop
Though purchased out of sad necessity when both of my modern laptops stopped working, I've become very fond of my new laptop. Here's an overview and demonstration of it.
0 min - Both of my laptops died (but I bought another one)
In a sick twist of luck, both my Lenovo ThinkPad T400 and my Dell Latitude 3330 died around the same time. Here's the story.
As I said in the video, I'm going to try selling these two laptops, and the Dell Inspiron 1525, on my eBay page, themaritimegirl. If you wanna make an offer on any of these, hit me up.
0 min - Smith-Corona CXL 4200 electronic typewriter (1988)
A look at a member of one of the last generations of the machine that the computer put to rest.

- VE9UNB in the November 2017 ARRL SSB Sweepstakes (amateur radio contest)
In November my friend Sam and I participated in the ARRL SSB Sweepstakes, operating the school's amateur radio station, VE9UNB. We unfortunately made no contacts in our three hours in the station, but others had better luck, and we made a total of 106 contacts. We were asked if we could make this video for posterity, and we were glad to do so.
The VE9UNB team from the 2017 ARRL Sweepstakes SSB Contest is recognized in Sights and Sounds, from the ARRL Contest Update:

0 min - Epson Apex Plus Turbo XT computer (1988)
A look at an awesome vintage computer given to me years ago by a teacher in high school. This has been shelved since 2011 due to a lack of appropriate hardware to get it running properly, but it's now running better than ever, and has been heavily upgraded.
In case you're curious, here's the original video I filmed in 2011:
