It was such a joy and an honour to be featured in the first ever issue of Inherent Vice, a queer heritage zine aimed at conservators, archivists, and collections care folk. 
I've read every morsel of this publication now and I highly recommend it to any GLAM professional out there. 🌈

This is fantastically nerdy, I just love it.
The V&A has added the first YouTube video to its collection, via a reconstructed watchpage that shows it as it was in 2006.
Because how else to you collect and curate the experience of watching a video IN THE PAST?

Well worth a read, it's fascinating!

🖤 It’s Friday the 13th, the kind of day that makes some of us knock on wood, sidestep ladders 🪜, and watch out for black cats 🐈⬛
🔮 Preserving cultural artifacts shows how people have made sense of chance & misfortune.

One of my biggest #retrogaming issues is re-releases seldom include the manual. The actual, printed, full-color manual with art, maps, diagrams.
Players were expected to read the manual before playing from at least the NES era to PS2 era, and a lot of description/story is simply not in the game as a result. Looking up a strategy guide is not the same.
Sony got this right with #PS1 games on #PSP but I haven't ever seen it done again.

This banger about pickled beets never took off on Instagram but I'm very proud of it. It's one of the last short videos I made before the hiatus.
De Nederlandse demogroep Ultra Force maakte grafische indrukwekkende demos zoals de Vector Demo van Arjan Brussee. Ze deden ook veel met nieuwe audiotech voor PC's. Ook maakten ze demos voor bedrijven zoals bijvoorbeeld Fuji. Check het nieuwe artikel:

Begin 1989 publiceerde de Nederlandse demogroep Ultra Force hun eerste demo: Space Demo. Een poort op basis van Amiga afbeeldingen. De demo had tot nu toe nog geen goede video op Youtube, dus er eentje gemaakt.
