Hey guys! This week's episode is all about the iMac… erm wait… eMac. Tech YouTuber, Hugh Jeffreys, will join us as a special guest!
This guy needed some cleaning, so it was fun to take him apart (yeah, he's a "him"). I've never opened one of these before…

Hey all!
I was working on a "bonus" video for the holidays, but I really hate how it turned out. I threw the whole thing away! But I still want you to see some behind the scenes photos from the shoot.
Regular content will resume on December 5, and of course, you guys will get behind the scenes / early access.
Also, I will revisit the NeXTcube, but the timing isn't right yet. My future goal is to image the SCSI disk to a CF card, and install the card into the Cube. Stic...

Hey guys! I'm super pumped with Thursday's new episode! I'm refining the Krazy Ken "process" to make the episodes better. I slowed down and took extra time to craft this one.
But of course… The Krazy Ken Curse struck! What's gonna happen?! Since you're here, you can watch early!
Heads up! I want to give previews (and ask for input) for this week's episode, but I'm giving you a SPOILER ALERT warning. So if you want the next episode to be a surprise, do not continue reading.
Still here? Great!
Let's talk…
I bought a cheap Macintosh IIvx a few months ago. It was the last Macintosh II model, and the first Macintosh with a built-in CD-ROM drive! I thought this would be fun! But wow… this ended up being the dirtiest, rustiest Macintos...

Hey everyone! I want to give you a sneak peek at the next Krazy Ken's Tech Misadventures crossover-collaboration!
Hugh Jeffreys will guest star in an upcoming episode about Apple's eMac. The target release date is December 5, but that's not finalized yet! Of course, there will be more episodes and live broadcasts...

This episode has a little bit of everything: crashes, hardware failure, an SSD upgrade, an installation sensation, and speed tests! It's a fun one!

Hey everyone! I'm about to release a rough cut of the next episode on Patreon! In the meantime, enjoy some behind the scenes photos and a couple still frames from the rough!
This was an exciting episode to shoot because I wasn't just experimenting with the computer… I was also experimenting with my new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K! I gotta say, it BLOWS MY URSA MINI OUT OF THE WATER! I hope you like the improved look of new episodes.

Hello again!
I'm running some tests on this new Blackmagic camera, and I wanted to give you a behind the scenes look.
There's two main reasons I bought this camera. The first reason is size and weight. This year, I plan to travel and collaborate with other YouTubers more than ever. Having a lightweight camera body makes that easy! But there's another big reason…
Low light performance. This camera boasts a dual native ISO (400 and 3200). Here's some samples...

Hey guys!
So after the failed attempts to install macOS Catalina on the Mac mini, it's time to restore it back to normal! To do this, we need a DUAL INSTALLATION SENSATION! In this next episode, I plan to reinstall Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows XP, and I come across some amazing nostalgia along the way. ; )
Also… there's a reason why I'm holding a Windows 7 box. It's not pertinent to the episo...

Hey all! The episode is 99% done, but before I finished it, I wanted to know what you think!
I still need to make a few tweaks (mostly with title graphics, and I need to update the Patreon credits, too!)

Holy cow… guys… having the NeXTcube in the lair is truly something else. There's so much history in this dense, black, magnesium cube.
Here's a few ungraded (uncolored) still frames from the footage. And yes! I even measured the cube to see if the Steve Jobs movie was true—if one dimension was shorter than the others.
More to come!

Because you guys requested it, I'm gonna make it happen; I'm gonna go the extra mile, too. In the macOS Catalina patcher episode, I mentioned "Lightning Link", which was a very old web browser I made when I started teaching myself Objective-C and Cocoa. So today, we're gonna time travel! Above is my crappy tour video of LL, and you can download the software for yourself with the attachments!
Try it out!

Hi! If you're reading this, then you've come across my Patreon page, but you likely haven't pledged yet. That's okay! I wanted to take this time to show you what can get with a pledge…
I have some awesome rewards for you:
Hey! I'm posting some public Patreon posts soon—to try to get more "free trial" prospects to convert into patrons! If you see these posts pop up in an email, ignore them! There will be two today, but that's all I have planned for the immediate future.
Thanks!

Hey guys! The new episode isn't 100% done yet, but it's in a rough cut stage! This one was full of failure, catastrophe, surprises, and joy! Also… there might be a little cameo from dosdude1 himself ; )

Hey all!
I redid my studio recently, and I wanted to share it with you. This is the first behind the scenes video I shot on my iPhone 11 Pro, and MAN I LOVE THAT STABILIZATION!!!
This next episode features dosdude's Catalina patcher on a 2009 Mac mini. Enjoy the behind the scenes preview!
Also, I could use help… if you're okay with spoilers, please read on…

So a while back, a friend of a friend found this iPhone X / Xs on the side of the road. The goal was to try getting the phone in a usable state, and attempt to find the owner. Check the video and see how it worked out...

Of course, we're gonna keep cranking out more awesome episodes, and you'll get early access, exclusive content, and your name will be in the credits (at applicable tiers)! That's not changing! But I want to add more value to your Patreon membership! So here's something new I'm working on…

Hey guys! The early access for this Krazy Ken episode is just around the corner! I know I normally get it out sooner, but while I was filming this, things got busy (as you may imagine). In the meantime, enjoy some more photos (most of which I won't publish outside of Patreon).
I cannot wait to go back to this convention next year! I plan to host a booth. A meet and greet would be fun, too!

Hey guys!
I just got back from a super-exciting trip—Vintage Computer Festival Midwest 14. I'm already stoked to go back next time!
My friend, Dylan, shot loads of video. I'll release a kick-ass Krazy Ken episode on Thursday (or Friday), and I'll do my best to get you guys some earlier previews! Also, I'll save some great stuff exclusively for Patreon. It's a work-in-progress…
In the meantime, enjoy some attached pictures / still frames.

Hey guys! I have a new Krazy Ken's Mobile Log video for you…
Today, I visited the now-closed FirstTech Computer building—located on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. FirstTech was part of Team Electronics, which was Apple's first franchisee. This building was the home to Apple's first reseller, dating back to 1977. The business closed in 2014, but that didn't stop me from visiting it! (Yes… it's a gym, now… but ya gotta stay in shape somehow!)
I wrapped the Power Macintosh filming and I cannot wait to share! Check out the video and pictures below. There's lots to come…
