I feel better knowing I'm not the only person who feels that the battery repairs for these are nothing short of unsanctioned torture.

Broken selfie stick, $3 clown nose and a bit of rubber cement. Now I got a telescoping pointing stick! *Fear Me!*. >:D

The image is a five panel black and white comic. 

Panel 1- A person stands with their hands on their hips in front of a pile of opened boxes filled with items. "Hmmm"

Panel 2- Tiredly they say, "Eh...I can deal with this when I'm not tired..."

Panel 3- We see the pile of boxes again. "Yeah.."

Panel 4- "38 consecutive days of being tired later" We see them again, looking gaunt and exhausted, face in the shadow.

Panel 5- They stand in front of the pile of boxes which have been untouched.

I dug something out of storage the other day that I'm kinda proud of but it never ended up getting completed. A video about it will be up tomorrow.

The ferrous nature of JB Weld means that something as easy as gluing a magnet to a driveshaft can be a chore. It keeps sucking up all of the epoxy and wearing it rather than letting it puddle underneath.

In VERY late-breaking news I have been informed that due to a catastrophic and unexpected budget shortfall, the VCF MidWest Planning Committee was only able to rent four tables and a small ball pit. Load-in starts tomorrow. Good luck.

Hearing people chatter about how Apple is going to release a folding iPhone and how it's going to change everything, forgetting that the best flip phone ever made has existed already for 30 years.
The Motorola StarTAC, pictured opened and folded, was originally released in 1996 at a cost of around $1000. (about $2000 today)

We’ll that was $40 in PVC fittings wasted…….

Because I’m not gonna pay $150usd per cable. This is why the VCF free pile exists! 🤪 Thanks to whoever was dumping the shielded ribbon cable at VCF West. I’m making good use of it right now!

I've lived away from Ontario for too long but it still hits me in the childhood when you see stuff like this happening because it means you were not the only person in Southern Ontario who remembered Knob Hill Farms as a kid.
Having been closed for over 25 years, the plot of land that once had the Oshawa Food Terminal is now a cement slab being slowly ground up for redevelopment. Elsewhere on the site, the circular emblem of Knob Hill Farms which was set in a slab of granite when the site was first converted into one of the largest grocery stores in the world (I think it was second to the Cambridge Food Terminal) has been cut away from the foundation and is carefully lifted from the ground and into a waiting crate for safe storage. It will be reinstalled in the new transit plaza once construction is underway.

Having a setting that only lets people who follow you be able to read your posts feels extremely narcissistic (because you can use this to curate exactly who can and cannot see you with blocks.) It's like me only letting people who subscribe to my channel get to see my posts and channel news.

I love how the console kids got so drunk on PVM’s and the RGB placebo, this PVM-8040 hit the VCF West free pile because “it’s so basic it’s not worth repairing” and with three caps in the PSU, it’s been running fine all week. You people suck. Get a real skillset and stop reading Reddit.
A little bit green but it’s fine.The portable display isn’t much bigger than my motioncorder high-speed camera.

It’s wednesday. That means it’s time to repair a Watchman with battery damage and carbon tracking.
Battery corrosion pooled at the base of the unit, attacking these traces.Pocket TV’s are just as hell to work on as camcorders.More battery leakage. Bonus carbon tracking that’s killing the high voltage.Happy results.

“Yeah, that’s a blue box.” - Woz, for the ten seconds after his talk at VCF West before he was quickly escorted back to his car by event security (seriously, he was in and out via a sideroomwith no off-mic talk time or a walk-through and that sucked.)
A crude clear plastic box containing a nine volt battery, 16 buttons, a speaker under the electrical tape cap and various electronics stuffed inside.Same box, just the backside.

So I was planning to somehow make a video on this, but I determined I didn't want to deal with Apple Security and attaching a camcorder to a selfie stick makes me look like a clown, so lets go for a short road-bound tour through Cupertino and then scoot over to Palo Alto.
