Been a lot of work but I’m finishing a new project in my new studio. Having a dedicated space also comes with the promise of videos - more often and more awesome…

THE HALIKAN LIVES youtu.be/3_XdQwZSrag The Chaplet Halikan LA-30 is an interesting 80s laptop on its own but this one busting into 1000 pieces & being restored by PolyMatt takes it to another level. Let's dive into using the PC itself, its odd quirks, and its small but fascinating spot in history!

Such an amazing product from yyzkevin.com. Can’t wait to try it on my ThinkPad 701C collection. If you’ve got a beloved vintage laptop this thing is a Swiss Army knife of gloriousness…

Well everyone it’s been an EPIC year. I’ve released 4 long form videos, got written up in PC Gamer, Engadget, techradar, hackaday, broke 100k subscribers and had over 36 years of watch time from 1.8 million views. And it’s all thanks to you. I’m incredibly grateful for your support. 🙏

Doing a new (additional) format and hoping to release short, unstructured videos about interesting things that come up in my projects or research. Would love feedback! NUCLEAR Plastics — Bench Notes youtu.be/kqZKBZ1BFiE

While I’m done for the year for videos, as we’re nearing the end of the year I’ll leave you with this one from last year (that’s actually one of my faves). Enjoy and wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy holidays! ❤️🎉 youtu.be/VjY1QNXn0Vg?...

After months of work I’m putting the finishing touches on a new video and new… Restoration? Reproduction? Resurrection? You decide 😁

Another huge restoration project is slowly coming together… actually this one is as more like a complete reproduction 😅 Doing some color matching and texture tests for the final finish. That means the video isn’t too far away!

Stoked to be heading to VCF Midwest. I’ll be mulling around the floor all weekend so if you spot me, come say hi! I’ll be the middle-aged bald guy with facial hair… Can’t miss me.
