I'm not surprised but this is predictably brilliant. @levimaaia.com not only steps up to this insane premise but also explains exactly what it's doing and indeed what the thing it is that it's doing actually is. And also how you can if you are equally batshit. youtu.be/hZ8sniz4Z2M

Definitely. I thought about that for a very long time. The problem with it is that it requires a proprietary connector, which is difficult and expensive to source. I wanted to build something that anyone could copy with less than $20 in parts.

You’ll have to check out the video. It was designed for VJ’ing so it has a bunch of controls, including color cycling, available to the user via the player 1 and 2 game controllers.

Nifty! This newly revived web tool allows you to convert an animated GIF into a NES (ROM) which will play the gif on real NES hardware. I love stuff like this! k6lcm.github.io/nesflix-web/ Thanks @levimaaia.com for the neat video and history on the tool.

Five years ago, I traveled to Cuba to document incredible makers and artists. Now, I’m finally sharing the 1st story from that journey. Havana artist Kadir Lopez dared to bring neon lights back to a city where even creativity requires permission. #cuba #neon #art #retrotech youtu.be/c8XwJUkTAV0?...

Ran into some legends at the ⁠Time Rift Arcade! 🎮 Got to hang out with ⁠The 8-Bit Guy and ⁠Adrian. I’m in the Silicon Prairie for VCF Southwest. Great conversations, classic games, and some serious vintage computing brainpower in one room. #vcfsw #vintagecomputers #retrogaming

Just back from Santa Barbara Island, the smallest and most remote in Channel Islands National Park. I joined fellow members of @theexplorersclub.bsky.social, tried to make radio contact with the mainland with only a handheld radio and a few watts of power. youtu.be/tdjePa5cZW8?...

Ever heard of the Mattel Aquarius computer? Total flop in 1984. Someone brought it back—with sprites, Wi-Fi, and a CRT in a fake ’80s basement. I made a video. 🎥 youtu.be/TR9m9vkOFAs?... #retrocomputing #makers #aquariusplus
