SNEAK PEEK: Morphy Richards Ductless Portable Air Conditioner (Scam?)

Hello Insiders! I've been waiting over A YEAR to make this episode. It's about the Morphy Richards Ductless Portable Air Conditioner, and I backed it on Kickstarter back in September 2024. Yeah, 13 months ago!

It's finally here, and it's a tricky one. In short, the answer to the "is it a scam" question is yes and no. It's not a binary answer, and the episode will explain it better.

I'll give y'all early, ad-free access ASAP, but in the meantime, enjoy some pics!

Hello Insiders! Enjoy some more still-frame previews from the upcoming Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 20 vlog! Starring Brainiac Brent triggering a nuclear power plant warning. ☢️

FULL TRANSPARENCY, there's a lot more footage than I originally thought, so this will take some time to edit, plus I'm still working on the new scam-buster episode. I still strive to finish this vlog within a timely manner and give you early access before the public! Stay tuned!

Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 20 Vlog (SNEAK PEEK)

Hello Insiders! Day 0 of Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 20 was a blast! This year, instead of hosting a booth, I'm vlogging my experience along with James, and perhaps some other folks will join soon! Stay tuned for a special edition of Krazy Ken's Mobile Log.

In the meantime, here's some still-frames from the footage, including me entering the "Carolina Reaper Fried Chicken Sandwich" challenge. THAT THING WAS HOT! More to come…

Hello Insiders! The first day of filming wrapped yesterday for this new scam-buster episode. It's about these "x-ray" glasses that claim to give you the ability to see through objects, including people's clothes. Time to debunk it!

CONVERSION TECHNOLOGY 2.0

The Conversion Technology 2.0 test print is in! It feels and looks great!

With this, I will most likely be switching print services.

I normally go through Spring, but their lead times and quality have been bad lately, so I'm switching to another service I have used before and trust! I'll have new shirts ready to order soon. : )

Rare 2007 iMac Prototype PART 2!

Hello Insiders! I have returned with my 2007 iMac EVT prototype. After I got it working, I found some fun Apple-related files on the hard drive. Watch and enjoy ; )

Raspberry Pi 500 Unboxing and Test Drive

Hello Insiders! Delicious Damian bought his first Raspberry Pi, so we're going to set it up and take it for a spin!

IT'S ALIVE! 2007 iMac Prototype Part 2 (SNEAK PEEK)

Hello Insiders! I'm excited to share this one…

About two months ago I released a Krazy Ken's Mobile Log episode about a rare prototype iMac that I won at an auction. Although there were many intriguing physical differences about this prototype (including design features Apple never released publicly) the iMac did not POST. It would power on, but not go further.

Thanks to some suggestions from the community, I got it working! However, there was nothing special on the hard drive regarding Apple internal documents or applications, at least on the surface level. When I attempted data recovery, I found some cool stuff! 😈 Stay tuned for the full episode soon…

P.S. Here's part 1 if you haven't seen it: https://youtu.be/mV_ha50iAvY

SNEAK PEEK: Conversion Technology 2.0 Shirt

Hello Insiders! It has been YEARS since I released my original Conversion Technology (1.0) shirt, and now it's time for a new one! I toyed with some designs earlier, but I ultimately went back to the drawing board and this is what I stuck with!

The sample has gone to press and I will test it soon. If all goes well, these new shirts should be available to order within a month. I'm also testing a slightly higher quality fabric so hopefully that works out too! Stay tuned.

New Art: Ken Error Sign

Hello Insiders! I commissioned some new art for Krazy Ken's Tech Talk. In future episodes, whenever something happens that prevents a scene from continuing, you might see this Windows XP-era Ken pop up!

I was grateful to commission Kirby-Popstar to make this art! They made the SONK.ROM meme, and I thought their style would work great. Look for him in the next episode!

EARLY ACCESS: Analogue Pocket

Hello Insiders! Enjoy your early, ad-free access of my new episode. It's all about the Analogue Pocket handheld game console, and the company behind it. The good and the bad, but mostly good (hopefully)…

🔥We're Cooking: Analogue Pocket

Hello Insiders! My teammates and I are hard at work on the next episode, which is all about the Analogue Pocket and the Analogue company itself.

The Pocket is a fun, handheld gaming console which can play tons of different games from different systems via cartridge or microSD card, and with ZERO software emulation; it's all done with FPGAs (we'll talk more about those in the episode).

I'm super grateful to the folks who are letting me borrow their Analogue hardware. You guys are heroes! More to come! Stay tuned…

NOTE: these still-frames are not fully color corrected, so some contrast and saturation might look a little low.

Hello Insiders! This episode was a huuuuge labor of love. A lot of work went into it and I'm grateful for everyone who helped make it possible.

There's a fun story behind this QuickTake camera line, and I'm excited to share it! I'm also excited to show you how well a 0.3-megapixel camera (with an 8-photo memory) holds up today, haha.
