A Lighting Gallery member and fellow Maritimer sent me some awesome stuff. Lets see what it is.

Some cool stuff I saved a couple of months ago.

The CCD-TRV66 was Sony's top-of-the-line analog Handycam in 1999. A wide array of features, typical Handycam quality, and employment of the highest quality analog consumer camcorder video format made for a killer device; one which has been dubbed by random sources as one of the best analog consumer camcorders ever made.

Mom dug out her old film camera, and I discovered a minor interest I didn't know I had. See the end of the video for 20+ test photos.

Filmed in April on the Nokia Lumia 635.

Ryan sent me some awesome stuff in return for a package of cell phones I sent him. Lets see what I got.

Check out Ryan's videos:

Update: It turns out the organizer was acting so sick because I didn't properly initialize it by inserting the backup battery and resetting it. Upon doing do, it works just fine. That leaves the display - I've had the unit apart, and I can't find the problem, so I will leave it as is. A video of it will be made.

I went back to the e-waste box for the purpose of finding the power supply for that USB hard drive, and I came back with more than I could have ever imagined.

This was one of the first things I filmed with my phone, back in January. I'm not an elevator enthusiast, but I do like the Dover Impulse, as I've known them and have been able to identify them by their unique style my whole life. These two are easily available to me, right at school.

Filmed March 13 on the Nokia Lumia 635. Sorry for the terrible camerawork.

This is the exhibit that a group at school set up throughout probably the last several months of the school year, and opened to the public from March until early April. The purpose was to demonstrate how much electronic waste we generate, and how it would all go into the landfill if we didn't put out the effort to recycle it. Or reduce it, or...

Re-use it! And indeed, on the day the exhibit closed, and was slated to be picked up by the local recycling company, I was given permission to take whatever I found interesting. The result was the largest acquisition of electronic stuff I have ever undertaken. And I hope to get videos of that stuff to you guys soon.

We know this thing works, now lets wipe it clean and give it a fresh installation of the last generation of the classic Mac OS.
