Thank you so much for listening, and stay tuned… https://youtube.com/computerclan

It's #MARCHintosh! And Krazy Ken received a question: how do you start a vintage Mac collection? Today, we'll talk about how he dove into vintage / retro Mac collecting, and he'll give some tips and tricks, too. https://youtube.com/computerclan https://twitter.com/thecomputerclan https://patreon.com/krazyken Transcription and Show Notes: https://thecomputerclan.com/transcriptions/NoCamerasAllowed-012.pdf

When Krazy Ken visited Columbia College in Chicago, he was awestruck by the amazing programs and facilities. However, with a $120,000 price tag, he was forced to look elsewhere. And where he wound up was the last place he expected, but perhaps it was fate. Here are the Columbia College facilities I was referring to: https://www.colum.edu/academics/creative-and-media-spaces/index https://youtube.com/computerclan https://twitter.com/thecomputerclan https://patreon.com/krazyken Transcription and Show Notes: https://thecomputerclan.com/transcriptions/NoCamerasAllowed-011.pdf

The real-life (off-camera) Krazy Ken doesn't gamble, drink, or party… so… Vegas sounds like the perfect fit, right? Today, Ken relives the story behind the least-viewed Tech Misadventures YouTube episode of all time—which was vlogged on-location in Las Vegas during the National Association of Broadcasters 2019 show! He touches a $150,000+ camera rig, "drives" the Las Vegas strip, helps purchase a 144 TB media server, and other shenanigans.

Can Ken make a high-production value retrospective video about Adobe Flash Player—from pre-production to delivery—in only 6 days? While balancing a day job, a podcast launch, and several other projects? Answer: YES! Thanks to collaboration, and awesome resources like the Internet Archive and BlueMaxima's Flashpoint. Today, you'll learn about the "making of" behind this Krazy Ken episode, and we'll get nostalgic about Flash Player, while we're at it. https://youtube.com/computerclan https://twitter.com/thecomputerclan https://patreon.com/krazyken Transcription and Show Notes: https://thecomputerclan.com/transcriptions/NoCamerasAllowed-007.pdf

What happens when Krazy Ken doesn't play a game for 5+ years, and then he decides to play it on a live stream for everyone to see? And to make it riskier… what happens when he says "I'll donate $100 to charity every time I die in the game"? Well, you're about to learn the behind-the-scenes story of how Krazy Ken and Brainiac Brent set up the Computer Clan's first-ever live gaming-charity event.

The first video on the Computer Clan YouTube channel is about Marble Blast—a game which still has a cult following, but used to be more popular back in the day. So today, Ken and Wave (a very early collaborator on the channel) dive into the history of the Computer Clan's involvement with Marble Blast, and how that niche started growing the channel's popularity.

Recently, Krazy Ken released an episode about the near $2 billion dollar Quibi streaming service flop—which only lasted 8 months. But hey… you can't win 'em all! So today, Ken dives more into the topic along with his friend who has been following Quibi news since the early days. P.S. have you even heard of Verizon's older  "Quibi-esque" service? It was called Go90. Remember that? No, me neither. Let's learn about that while we're at it!

Before all the mega-huge gaming Twitch streamers dominated the world, Ustream was the "cool kids" table. In 2009, Ken gutted his parent's coat closet (hopefully they weren't mad) and set up a little live-streaming studio. Today, Ken relives the moments and re-watches some clips and reacts to them in real-time (including the first-ever moment he went live). I think it's fair to say the WWDC 2013 clip was his favorite.

Video editing is a crucial part to running a YouTube channel, and everyone has to start somewhere. Where did Ken start? Short answer: he started video editing in Apple's iMovie '06 software on a 2006 Intel iMac. Enjoy this time-travel trip as Ken watches some of his old videos and breaks down what it was like to dive into digital non-linear editing.
