I’ve got a MacBook Pro 17″, this is a 2011 model but it’s my work horse. These systems had a little slot where you can plug in an ExpressCard/34 size device. The OCD in me want to put something in there so I bought for like $5 a SanDisk SD Adapter. So now I can […]
Whelp, I’ve been a busy person. I’ve been spending a lot of time gaming, making videos on YouTube and streaming on Twitch. I’ve have a small niche community so far and it has been a blast… I’ve been reworking the office here for more space. My primary work area is overrun with streaming equipment. So […]
Back when I was mining Bitcoins I actually gathered a few. At some point I wanted to play a couple Steam games that were only on Windows. So I bought a real inexpensive CyberPower desktop. Older i3 chip, GTX640 card, etc. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great machine but any of todays game I […]

Steve declared the floppy drive dead. Steve declared the CRT dead. And eventually Steve would declare the CD/DVD drive dead as well. At this point in time I got into custom building PCs and built my first PC system from scratch. I also cleared the deck on most of the systems I owned and eventually […]
At this time, earlier 2000’s, I still had my PC, my TI-99/4a system, my PowerMac WGS server, and iMac DV. I was at a Salvation Army shop and I found an older Mac 5300 system. This is one of those All-in-one system but the great part was that I could pipe in the video from […]
