I write. I blog. I podcast. I make videos. Sometimes I sleep in a van down by the river for no good reason.

Tonight (10/31 -- Halloween) is the 100th anniversary of the passing of Harry Houdini. Get your Ouija boards ready! Rosabelle, believe!

This devilish pic was taken in 4th grade. My mom found that mask and gloves at a garage sale. Costume included red tights, a cape, and a red Izod. I rode around the neighborhood more than once wearing this.

This is one of my favorite old photos because it shows so many costumes: Fred Flintstone, a Stormtrooper (me), a witch, Bugs Bunny, and Popeye. Either 1979 ir 80.

Here's another Halloween photo, this one from the late 70s. That's me as Chewbacca and my sister as Scooby-Doo. My mom made the Chewbacca costume with a traditional Ben Cooper mask.

Day 2 of old Halloween costumes. Here's me as Batman in 1976. My mom sewed us lots of costumes and clothes. What a labor of love! I still wear it today! Just kidding, look how small that thing is.

TIL why older CGI characters didn't have eyelashes and eyebrows...

Technically called trichomes. We tried to render these fine, nearly invisible hairs, but they proved too much for the old SGI systems and increased render times to a geological time scale.
Oh wait, did I just take the fun out of this tweet?
Wow! All the fun (and frustration, lol) of Marble Madness, for free in your browser. Amazing!
I'm #1 in Marble Marvell.
I'm also the only player on the leaderboard.
My free, unofficial tribute to Marble Madness (1984) now has mouse/gamepad support, mobile support using an (experimental) virtual trackball and online rankings!

Sharing some vintage Halloween costumes of mine this week. That's me as a ghost, back in 1975? 76? That's my neighbor Scott as the Devil.

Just got my print copy of @computesgazette with my six-page review of Boatfest right in the middle. Always cool to see your name in print, always cool to contribute to the community. #c64 #commodore

Here's my initial thoughts and (no-spoiler) review of the film. I'm still a little stunned. https://xitter.gq/t.co/sN99gJNuDH #bigfoot #capturingbigfoot #patterson #gimlin #documentary
BIG SURPRISE: you can rent or buy CAPTURING BIGFOOT NOW on Amazon Prime Video 👣
In 1967, Roger Patterson captured 60 seconds of film showing a creature walking through the woods. Now, the discussion around that infamous film changes forever.

As a kid I was terrified of KISS. I thought they were scarier than any ghost, goblin, or demon. I wish I had been coll enough to be Gene Simmons for Halloween in 1980 but sadly I think I was "old farmer guy."
Found these headphones for sale recently at a thrift store. Immediately picked them up because of the RadioShack logo... and immediately set them down when I saw the price tag ($52).

I bought this for a video I'm shooting and haven't decided if I'm going to keep it or not. Okay, I just decided I'm going to keep it. That was a quick decision.

Do you still play old handheld games? I have a love of these but gaming on my phone is so convenient that I don't break this things out often. And when I do... batteries. :(

I am trying so hard to downsize my collections, but when you see Fisher Price Adventure People stuff in the wild, you buy it. Period.

I made this video in support of @TwoBlindBros and #WorldSightDay. Also, I meant what I said in the video -- no sympathy! I'm living my best life!
