Only 10 more days to get in on AtariAge Secret Santa!

Being interested in the video game products of the 20th century is a nice reprieve.

Ahhh... Taking apart a common Intellivision cartridge to create a makeshift external solid-state drive enclosure. I love goofy little hacks like this.

Pays to clean the garage! I located my tricked out Apple IIgs (which I was certain I left for a street side trash pickup 6 years ago.)

Ahhhhh.... it's nice to have my home office back up and running again after almost a year.

I'm currently building an oldschool telephone system in my own home. Why? Three reasons, it's a novel way to connect the outbuildings (garage, workshop and orchard well-house) to the house -sort of a highly stylized intercom system, with a phone from a unique era at each end, that should be fun to use. Second, I can use the handful of old telephones I've accumulated in my lifetime and it's nice to have them serving a purpose again. Finally, the kids are going to love this when its finished.
Telephone simulator boxes are what you want to look for if you want to do this too. They rule.

Was there ever a cartoon show for Bigfoot (the monster truck), or am I imagining things?

Retogaming with real hardware? Hard. The gap to interfacing the controllers and video to the typical at home stuff is ever-widening.

Got Rikki and Vikki tonight. Wow... Just looking at the package and contents, this is a superb product. Gearing up for a big 7800 experience with an AA order today too

Currently obsessed with making/fixing lamps and clocks lately.

Over-engineered and massively shielded RCA Monster Cables from 15 years ago turn out to be perfect for an unmodded Intellivision RF output.

So I broke up a pair of large Sony monitor headphones, and hot glued them under the hood of my 6-switch... Now my AtariVox has dedicated speakers! Sweet hearing the thing talk.

Trying to find a location for an unexpected new old console.

The Charlie Brown Christmas theme is playing in my head. Things are calm and Christmasy. Very nice.

If you have a CD-i, you owe it to yourself to play Christmas Crisis within the next 10 days. Especially if you have little kids.

I have the periscope/marquee of a Battlezone arcade game in the trunk of my car. Its in good shape and large. Not sure what to do with it at this point.

Ok... Free night tomorrow. Wife, kids and houseguest all vacate... (for 24hr). What geekery shall I undertake, mmm?

Just watched the first 29 minutes of Tron with my two very young kids. It was so much fun and a major cerebral exercise describing to them what was going on.

TRON is such an amazing movie & I love the whole nostalgia of the arcade games in it. It's a shame Disney isn't continuing with this awesome franchise. On a random note I really dug TRON Uprising and was sad when it didn't get a 2nd season. On another random note not sure if everyone saw that the director of TRON Legacy is at the helm of Top Gun II which really could have it's own thread on here.
