Secrets of the Machine - A Roadmap on Paper...Hello everyone! I hope that your Summer is beginning well, and that nice weather showed up with it for Memorial Day. In this third installment of "The Retro Repair Adventures", we're going to take a closer look at the truly AMAZING documentation which came with the VIC-20 right out of the box. Then I'll take you through some of the other programming books gifted to me on that fateful Christmas, so long ago. I will also explain in further detail how this documentation enabled me to effect a repair for the "glitchy characters" which my ailing VIC-20 displayed in the last episode. |

 Shatner & The VIC-20
|
How to do "The Shatner Rub"...Hello my fellow Armchair Arcadians! It's good to be back. Didn't mean to be gone so long again, but hey, Life happens. This time, I'm putting on my "Engineer Hat" (with the mandatory pocket-protector), and taking you on a Retro-Repair Adventure. In this first installment, we'll be delving into my own computing, programming, and gaming past. I'll take it easy to begin with, by giving you a close look at my very own, very beloved, and very much malfunctioning Commodore VIC-20. (We'll get to the nitty-gritty details of the electronics repair in my next posting.) |
My Cheap Chinese Tablet - Unboxing the JXD s7300b (Video)
Thu, 04/18/2013 - 2:05am — Rob DaviauNot a review, just unpacking the JXD s7300, a quick look, no demonstration really, just showing what I received from LighTake in China (thanks for the link, Bill!), and just a few thoughts regarding such devices.
Google Nexus - Unboxing
Wed, 09/19/2012 - 1:02am — Mark VasierI bit the bullet and got myself a Nexus7, seems good value for money and it is an excellent way to experience the Android ecosystem.
The magically floating camera aka camera girl observed and registered! Enjoy.
Of course more will follow.
Quick Unboxing Video of the Just Dance 3 House Party Kit for Microsoft Kinect
Wed, 11/09/2011 - 10:15pm — Bill LoguidiceUnboxing Video for the OnLive Console
Tue, 12/14/2010 - 10:02pm — Bill LoguidiceI did a quick unboxing video for the new OnLive Console. I'll do a full review after Christmas, but if you have any questions in the mean-time, let me know (by the way, the USB cable is for the initial syncing of the controller to the console, it doesn't actually allow you to charge it).
UPDATE: The controller is actually slightly larger than the Xbox 360 controller and it comes with both a regular battery compartment and two AA batteries, as well as a rechargeable battery pack. So a nice package is even a bit nicer.
