I got my Sinclair C5 a little over a week ago, but it looks like UPS through it off of a 2 story building.  It has significant damage and will seriously delay the video I was planning because ...

So, just a bit of change of pace back to usual content for this video.  Hope you enjoy!  I'm sure the Sinclair folks will be hating on me again.  Proper thumbnail coming tomorrow. 2020-06-13 23:59:31 +0000 UTC View Post

So here's that video I said was coming.  I managed to shorten ...

Just a quick update... next video coming soon.

This is just a quick update.  Ironically, I had planned to do a "quick" video about strange media formats.  But several people volunteered a lot of interesting media types and this has tu...
