Professional comedy enjoyer and collector. I upscale old comedy to look great on modern screens.

I made this intro using Cyberlink PowerDirector. I've tried various pro softwares over the years and Cyberlink does 90% of what you might want for about 10% of the price.
Feeling a bit blue about the political situation? Why not find out exactly how far you'd have to be from a nuclear bomb to not be vapourised.

The Long Walk (audiobook) by Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman. It's not a horror, more a tale of a dystopian future.

What the effing fuck is this? The description calls them "high tech athletic miner boots" and they're being sold for £952.

More pics here.

Because I cleaned up the scanned pages of this book, they can now be read by OCR software. It's still a lot of editing to correct that software's reading errors, but it's probably worth doing as I doubt very much there's a digital version.

This guy's style is like an Open University show from the 80s, but that's no bad thing. Clear, concise and informative.

Many people want old media to look and feel old as they care more about their nostalgia than the work itself.

I care about the work. I want good old stuff to look and feel good now. It took me learning multiple programs to do that and I'll keep going.

Do they grumble at art restoration too?

Steve Wright in the Afternoon used to have this "It's Another True Story" feature. I don't remember them being as naff and toothless as these though.

What a Comic Relief (1989). Scan is from archive . org, but they never fix the brightness or contrast, so I sorted that with a Paint Shop script. The cover got too much contrast, but that's scripts...

Walking Dead season 7. It's cheaper to buy the blu ray than the DVD. This is because so many people are still hanging on to their almost 30 year old technology, rather than getting on the s'kewl bus and having much better *20* year old technology.

Content that disappears from streaming sites may be gone forever. This is why it's good to know how to record stuff.

High & Dry, the 2018 sitcom that was like Lost (in Derby) is one example. It's not available to watch.

Ebay feedback - "quick delivery" is nice, but "great packaging" is the real dopamine machine.

Groovy. Quite liderally.
This is my new album.

It's instrumental, apart from some crowd chanting on Your Gold, Mr Bridger.

The average tune length is two minutes and eight seconds.

There are fourteen tunes.

It sounds like old telly music.

It's ace.

I'd love it if you listened.

I've love it even more if you shared it.

I asked google ai for any tv series about zombies which are out on blu ray. It didn't mention Highschool of The Dead or In The Flesh. Amateurs.

Here's a video I made from static images. I used 4 software packages to get it as I wanted, but my favourite bit is the audio mix between part 1 and 2.

It's Bowie's birthday, which means it's time for the annual repost of my drawing of a bunch of dancing Daves in the style of Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts. Happy Birthday, Mr Jones.
