Mac Classic Repair Video

I couldn't help myself, so I made a video of the Mac Classic repair via dishwasher. Hope you enjoy.

It's Alive!

It seems that the old Mac Classic II has been revived. I put the motherboard in the dishwasher in a last-ditch effort to clean the residue from the leaking capacitors, and it seems to have done the trick. In reviewing some of the files on the computer, it appears as if it hadn't been used since 1994. I have no idea what I'll use it for, but it's nice to have as a bit of nostalgia.

Happy New Year

And yes, I'm going to try to blog a little more this year. Let's see how it works out.

Vienna Teng at Joe's Pub

Saw Vienna Teng and Alex Wong at Joe's Pub last night.  Two sold-out shows, and the performances were recorded for future release.  Heard some of my favorite songs, including "Recessional," probably my favorite Vienna Teng tune. Vienna covered Radiohead's "Idioteque," and nearly tore the roof off the joint.  The shows were followed by an after-party at Caffe Vivaldi, where I got to meet the great Alex Berger.  I also got to meet and hang out with many of the VT forum regulars, including Scot from Hawaii, The Man in Blue, Linus from Germany, Greg from Baltimore, Micro, and many others.  Amy Cox, Vienna's manager, was very friendly to all of the fans.  It really was a great time.  I put up a little photo album here.
