Loving this C64 easter Egg that someone at TT Games put into the new LEGO Batman game. I'm not sure who it was that did it, but I need to find out from some of my former colleagues! If you know please do tell!
New blog post - I've had this great idea to improve tape loading on the Minstrels, using a rather unexpected chip.

Includes the neatest thing I have ever assembled on a breadboard.
The new Minstrel 4th is now available to pre-order, shipping next week.
New video! I'm trying to fix the stuck tape transport in a Philips N4416 reel to reel from 1972.

If you have never tried sweetening your coffee with a bit of maple syrup, you should. A pinch of cinnamon and/or cocoa added to the coffee before brewing works well with it, too. You are welcome. ☕️
Power outage in my part of town. It’s been going on since around 2:30 in the morning. Apparently some cable is faulty and when they tried the backup cable it tuned out to also be faulty. Supposedly takes another few hours to fix. No video editing today, and even worse: no coffee! 😩
People! We need to interact with each other more. I've made a decision today to not just "Like" things people I follow post, but to try and leave comments, especially positive ones. The world is pretty shit right now, so we all need to lift each other up and celebrate the good stuff.
