Plans for the Future

I haven’t posted on this blog in a very long time, and in that time many things have changed.  I gave the website a little renovation, and you may have noticed that the headers have changed to include photography and music.  Photography came from my liking of old technology because I mostly use 35mm film.  Music came from the same “old technology” hobby because I mostly collect vinyl records.  This hobby was developing during the beginning of this blog with posts about cassette decks and 100-year-old records.

So to go with the electronic posts you know, I’ll now be posting pictures and LP stuff.  This will (hopefully) mean there will be more posts on the blog.  Welcome Back!

2017 Solar Eclipse Pictures!

Leave a reply

First things first, I know I have not posted anything for a while, but not much has happened-and then a bunch of stuff did! I plan on making a post about restoring a vintage Apple keyboard, and trying to wash my computer keyboard (yes, with water). I also will make a post about some electronics I saved from electronic recycling, and last but definitely not least, I am getting supplies to make a post about a 386 DOS PC I got recently. Now that all the teasers are over, it’s time for the real post.

If you came here for professional photography, you came to the wrong place. But if you don’t really care, here are some pictures that we took of the eclipse while on vacation. Also, we were not in the path of totality, (we got over 99% of the sun eclipsed, though) so don’t expect pictures of the total eclipse.

So, how about some pictures!

My Dog Chasing My RC Car!

1 Reply

Today, I decided to get my RC car dirty in the backyard. I thought that it would be fun for me, but my dog (her name is Maisie) had an even better time chasing and attacking it. She was having so much fun, I had to take away the car before she had a heart attack chasing it. She would not stop! This is a little different for my blog, but it was fun to do!
