Upgrading my work PC to Windows 11 has been more traumatic than transferring my entire home Mac to a new box using a Time Machine backup. Oh the things that break. Oh the things that disappear.

Cheapo capture dongle works pretty well. It's a $9 thing from Walmart, used with an Analogue Nt Mini Noir on a Macbook's Quicktime player. It's unplayable on a Mac - so analog output to an old TV is crucial.

When I registered 16bit.com a zillion years ago, the whole point was to be some sort of game info database (with merchandising) and that never panned out. Had a Mac G3 266 tower with RCA in and everything.

Walmart had a clearance $9 HDMI capture dongle today. I might do some game stuff for fun.

The surest sign I have that lists of "Weird Al" Yankovic's best songs were not peer-reviewed is a lack of "Generic Blues" anywhere near the top 10.

I wrote a review! Blokees Transformers Galaxy Defender Version 01 Shattered Alliance Bumblebee Vehicle Glittering Action Figure is clear, kinda neat. But it doesn't roll as well as a Matchbox car. 16bit.com/fotd/251008-...

My boys got one of those Imaginext rovers. But, the electronics were bad. So, they sent us another one. We had two of them. The kids would ride them through the house. Great toys. But, they took up so much space. (The walking dinosaur skeleton was similar.)

Back home from the Future Vision Quest. The future looks pretty good. Well, parts of it, the stuff that won't impact most of most peoples' lives.
