BONUS: GameSphere Unboxing! (aka Boomball)

IT'S SPHERICAL! Enjoy this bonus episode where I unbox a sealed Boomball, which is the Memorex device that was used in Drake & Josh as the GameSphere!

A full Tech Talk episode about this product (and more) will launch later this month, and we will mod one of these Boomballs into an actual, working GameSphere!!! Stay tuned…

The next episode will be… SPHERICAL!

Hey Insiders! That's right! The famous "GameSphere" from Nickelodeon sitcom Drake & Josh is real! Well, it's a radio/CD player, but it's still big, red, and spherical!

In this episode, we'll have two Boomballs (that's the real name of the product). One Boomball will be preserved for filming, and the second one (which was already in slightly worse condition) will be modded into a real, working GameSphere! It will be a Boomball shell with GameCube internals!

This episode will be lots of fun! Stay tuned…

P.S. I'll have some bonus content for y'all soon, too! Hint, it's an unboxing of this mint unit. ; )

Behind the Scenes: Steam Machine!

Hello Insiders! The story of Valve's flopped Steam Machine line has a lot to tell! This is likely going to be my longest Krazy Ken's Tech Talk episode ever! That being said, I don't have a solid release date yet, but I'm aiming for early November! Filming and post-production are both underway!

In the meantime, enjoy some behind-the-scenes pics! We were lucky enough to receive a loaner Xi3 X7A Modular Computer from Bringus Studios and a rare Valve Steam Machine prototype from Linus Media Group! They also sent us a screw driver kit. Thanks!

Stay tuned for more! I also have an exclusive Krazy Ken's Mobile Log episode about the prototype coming soon.

We have a variety of Steam Machine products we're testing. We're in the early stages of pre-production, but things are moving along (mostly) smoothly. I'll show you more when I can! Stay tuned…

EARLY ACCESS: Charge Card Scam-Buster

Lesson learned… don't judge a product too early! You gotta know the whole story ; )

Enjoy the ad-free, early access!

SNEAK PEEK: Charge Card Scam-Buster

Hey Computer Clan Insiders! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Here's an update!

I'm working on a new scam-buster episode which was actually suggested back in November 2021… the suggestion got lost in the void for a while. Oops.

This investigation has a twist though, and I don't want to spoil it, but I will say: don't immediately assume something is a scam—there might be more to the story.

I'll give you early access to the ad-free episode ASAP! The public release is slated for October 3-4. See you soon.

Computer Clan's 17th Birthday

Hey Patreon members! I'm posting this tomorrow, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek!

17 years ago, I made this thing called the Computer Clan. Thanks to everyone who watches my stuff! Fun fact, this is the iMac I started learning video editing on. Still works!

Sneak Peeks: Flip Video!

Hey Insiders! Here's a few still-frames from my upcoming episode about Flip Video! I will have a release date SOON! This project has been very challenging and time consuming. I think it set a new personal record for work hours (and things breaking).

Also! Steve, from Mac84, guest stars as one of my attorneys! >:) More to come! Stay tuned…

Behind the Scenes: Flip

Hey Insiders! Here's some behind-the-scenes pics from my upcoming episode about the Flip Video camera! I also added some still-frames from the footage. If some of it looks desaturated, it's because it hasn't gone through color grading yet.

This has been a VERY challenging episode to make, but I should have a release date soon! Thanks for your patience! ❤️

ONE MONTH FROM NOW!

Hello everyone! Vintage Computer Festival Midwest is one month from now! I will be there if you want to meet up and try out some of the computers and gadgets from my show. See you then!

It's a FREE event from September 7-8. vcfmw.org

BONUS: Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2

Hey Insiders! Enjoy this bonus episode early before the public gets it.

A generous donor gave this Dell to me and it has been sitting in my lair for almost a year. Today that changes! Enjoy some bonus content about this Dell Dimension XPS Gen 2! Brainiac Brent was tinkering with Linux on it, and the inside had… dust… lots of dust.

Do you want a Computer Clan meetup?

Hey everyone! The next Vintage Computer Festival Midwest event is coming up FAST! I will be hosting a table there! So if you want to meet up and play with some of the collection from my show, visit VCFMW!

Other tech creators will be attending too! I can't guarantee which ones, but last year we had: The 8-Bit Guy, LGR, Action Retro, Adrian's Digital Basement, and more!

Here's some pictures from last year. It's a fun time! Hopefully you can go! In the meantime, have a good day!

SNEAK PEEK: Flip!

Hey Insiders! Brent and Sage have been helping me with my new episode about the Flip camera! It was a popular device for a short while, but then it kinda quickly faded. There's a cool story to tell!

Here's a few images! Some of these shots are b-roll for the episode. If they look kinda desaturated, it's because they have not been color graded yet. There's also some extra behind-the-scenes pics!

And the image of the Apple Vision Pro and the bank vault are still-frames from the 720p video samples pulled from the Flip UltraHD camera.

This will be a fun episode! I'll have more updates soon. Thanks for your support and stay tuned!

I'm cooking. I'll have something for you soon…

END OF LINE

SNEAK PEEK: Flip Video Camcorder

Hey Computer Clan Insiders! Here's the products I ordered for my next episode about the Flip Video camcorder line by Pure Digital Technologies. This product line had some merit to it, but it kinda just rose and fell super quickly.

There's a fun story to tell! I don't have a release date yet, but it should be in the third week of July. Stay tuned!

NEW WALLPAPER PACK: Droplets

There's A LOT more to the Humane story than what you might've seen in the early "negative" reviews, so buckle up! This is going to be a good one!

I'm also experimenting with a new product called "Light Cone". It helps reduce unwanted reflections and it smooths out light. Take a look!

Talk soon!
