I thought I’d start out today with a vintage promo video from General Tire, “Car Tires, The Loaded Gun”.
You can skip over the last four or so minutes of this (it is only eight minutes long) but I wanted to highlight it here because…that first minute and 30 seconds. Wow. That was…unexpected.
For something completely different from “The 8-Bit Guy”, going out to the young folks in my audience: “How Telephone Phreaking Worked”. I’ve set the embed to start at about the 4:15 mark to skip over all the introductory material (videos of vintage computers, videos of the presenter signing things, etc.)
And for something else, also completely different: “How To Make Potato Vodka”. This is more for informational purposes than “how-to” purposes, though if you do happen to have a still just lying around in your garage…or, I guess, the skills to improvise one out of parts without poisoning yourself with lead…
Bonus #3: “How to Taste Whisky with Richard Paterson” part 1:
