Hey guys! I'm still recovering from this illness, so I don't have any "new" stuff for Patreon this week, but I have this gem from the (currently inactive) Vintage Apple Vault Patreon! This is NOT a public video. It is is exclusive only to Computer Clan Patreon supporters.
This is an extended tour video of Hap's Apple prototype collection. 2020-03-22 20:37:58 +0000 UTC View Post
Hey guys! Fellow patron, Greg Hrutkay (from Hrutkay Mods), convinced me to make this video about Apple bringing back the Mac startup sound. I also show off dosdude1's handy tool which allows you to re-enable the sound without using the Terminal. Give it a watch!
Hey guys! I'm mostly recovered from bronchitis, so it's time to resume the videos! Maniac Mike swung by the studio and loaned me his new MacBook Pro so we could test the new startup sound—which Apple recently allowed users to turn on again.
This week, we'll release a new Krazy Ken's Tech Talk which discusses this update, but for now, enjoy a behind the scenes look…
You probably saw the new art I rolled out on the Patreon page. Well, I plan to roll it out across all of our platforms as part of a branding update strategy—and I wanted you guys to see it first (and see the work-in-progress images).
Special thanks to Heidi for drawing this amazing art (see above)!
As part of our branding update, we need to strengthen the Computer...

Hey guys! So I'm super excited to announce that The 8-Bit Guy (who recently passed 1,000,000 subscribers!) will appear in some upcoming videos. I have at least one public video planned, and it will be a Krazy Ken's Tech Talk episode about why computers "stop working".
As a bonus, I may release another episode which is more like a "behind the scenes" tour of The 8-Bit Guy, bu...

Hey guys! Here's the blooper reel I promised! There's some good ones in here.
Keep in mind, it is NOT CENSORED. Enjoy.

You deserve to be in the loop, so here's the situation!
I came down with a respiratory illness. It doesn't look super serious, but in short: I've lost my voice. There won't be a new public video for a week or two, but worry not! I have exclusive videos and previews that I will post to Patreon soon—including that blooper reel!
Thank you for your patience!

Hey guys! You can watch the new episode right now! It goes public in about 2 days.
A "calculator" video may seem trivial, but there's actually a fun story behind the conception of Mac OS's calculator. Also, there's some features in the modern Mac calculator that you maybe didn't even know about… and you'll see them in this video. WINK!
Hey everyone!
I just wrapped a day of shooting, but I also have some behind the scenes pics from last week's iPhone episode.
Here's a deleted sample pic (from the iPhone comparison episode). Yeah… I was in "beanie" mode (or is it a knit cap?). Honestly, it was just that way because my water heater exploded and I couldn't shower. THE MORE YOU KNOW!
Now, moving on to this week's epi...

Phew… this one took a little longer to make. Sorry for not getting more previews out sooner, but at least you have early access now. I have a fun blooper reel (or two) coming soon, as well. WINK!

Thanks to everyone who is still supporting our show! I have many exciting things coming, so stay tuned!
P.S. here's a mini sneak peek into the next video! It involves the original, first-gen iPhone.
Hey guys! Phew… 2 videos this week…

Hey everyone! Quick thing: if you have not seen the preceding post, please check that first! It's about something awesome!
Anyway! Thursday's new episode will pique some curiosity: what happens to your computer if you delete the Finder? In the video, we'll experiment with the idea, then I'll show some troubleshooting techniques, and alternate ways one can browse / open files without the Finde...

Hey patrons!
I'm very excited to share my next video with you because it's the start of something I've been conjuring for a while. I don't want to share my thinking process with the public because I don't want to people to "overthink" about my thinking… if that makes sense. ANYWAY, here's what's going on…
This may sound like a brain dump, but that's because… it is. I've only discussed this idea with one other person on the planet—my friend and co-producer:...

Hey everyone! Our special Windows 7 Installation Commemoration / House Party episode is coming soon!!! Since this is a more involved episode, we have some fun behind the scenes peeks! We'll have a blooper reel coming soon, too!
Here's the kitchen set (before the balloons arrived). It's not gonna look this clean for long.

Hello again!
For the most part, Krazy Ken is an unscripted and "raw" show, but there's appropriate times where scenes must be scripted. For our special Windows 7 Installation Commemoration / House Party episode (debuting January 14) we're scripting some scenes! This exclusive video gives you a small taste into our casual "table read" process of the screenplay.
Hey guys!
One of our generous viewers, Ian K, donated a PowerBook G3 Series to the show! So in this episode, I'll show off the physical hardware itself, but then we'll dive into the software…
I'll transfer some files I use on my daily driver MacBook Pro, and we'll test them out on the G3. Will the compatibility work? Will it be fast enough to keep up? You'll find out soon!
In the meantime, enjoy some behind the scenes pics, plus (future) Instagram photos b...

Hey guys! My next video is coming out on Thursday, but you get early access!
This was weird! A buddy came to me with an issue, and right before I started filming, someone else came to me with the SAME ISSUE (same OS X installer, same MacBook Pro model—8,1). Weird, right?
Let's find out what's wrong! 2019-12-31 04:31:00 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi! Thursday's new episode is full of roadblocks. Oh, well! With the Krazy Ken spirit, anything is possible!
So here's what was going on… my buddy has a MacBook Pro, and he wanted El Capitan reinstalled. He couldn't get Recovery Mode to work. I loaned him a flash drive with another installer on it, and it STILL didn't work!
Then, oddly enough, another person contacted me with an E...

Hey guys! I have TONS of exclusive stuff for you today, so let's unpack…
I hope you enjoy the new Game Maker episode I released! It comes out on Thursday, but you can watch it in a previous post with your early access! I used to make a ton of these (mostly crappy) games, so replaying them was a HUGE nostalgia trip; I couldn't resist but take you with me! So, I have 3 things to share!
1. The games are available as Windows .exe files at this link:...

Hey everyone! This Thursday's episode is about some computer games I made in the past! Needless to say, they're pretty… how do the kids say it… "cringey". So it's time to enjoy them!
Graphic design wasn't my passion; I made this in middle school *shivers*.

Hey guys! You can get early access to the Pro Stand episode now! It's a rough cut, but it's practically done (aside from the cold open and a few pickups).
Enjoy! It goes public on Thursday! Also, this one is in 4K!!!

Hey guys! I have a fun video coming this Thursday! (Of course, you'll get it early! Soon!)
In this episode, I show all of the "creative" ways you can use a Pro Stand without owning a Pro Display XDR. Enjoy some of the previews above—some frames are color graded, some are not.
I'll be honest… this thing feels BEEFY in person. I still don't think it's worth $999, but it's beautiful!
