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

Years ago I collected food-themed pillows for our movie room. I have several candy bar pillows and the Jolly Ranchers are actually dog chew toys I just re-discovered them and don't know what to do ith them now

If you listened to our Conversations from the Darkside episode covering Bigfoot and @CapturingBigfoot and want to see the "smoking gun" footage, they're now uploaded it to YouTube.
NOW ON YOUTUBE: the full, uncut version of the Norm Johnson Mystery Reel as seen originally in CAPTURING BIGFOOT is now available for all to see on our YouTube channel.
For a closer look at the creature that has come to be known as Norma: youtube.com/@CapturingBigfoo…

Despite an appeal, @Spotify remove the Sprite Castle episode covering Spy Hunter because it contains the Peter Gunn Theme which, I mean, of course it does.
This is why I don't use Spotify as my primary distribution point. You can find every episode of every podcast I do here: podcast.robohara.com/ #podcast #commodore #c64
My friends saved this from the trash for me. "Clearly record both sides of a telephone conversation." Nothing sus there! Also, wish I'd had one of these back in high school...

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...
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!

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
