Coffee Hour
Friday, 01/20/2023, Camcorder Day
I remember my first camcorder. I bought it in the mid-1990s to record family trips and outings. It was small and used mini-cassettes. Sadly, it was a POS. The video quality was decent for the era, but the microphone primarily recorded the whirring of the camera’s innards, making the viewing of home videos as much a pain for the owners as for the guests. I’ve never bothered transferring/converting any of that material to new media.
My vidcam was very similar to what my Stunt Double du Jour is holding. It’s too late to warn him to toss it. I don’t even remember the brand.

A cheeky lil celebration of 10 Years of NMTD
Nostalgic for early tumblr? Craving that Dracula Daily mineral? Perhaps obsessed with a certain enemies-to-lovers Shakespeare play?
Look no further, NMTD(Taylor's Version) is here!

honestly the weirdest thing about airline accidents in the modern era is how universally there's video someone took when the emergency exit blew off and then posted to tiktok

man am I grateful to live in the digital age at times tho. the hell were all these poor people doing without archives immediately at their disposal for research and recreation. I know libraries, fanzines, clubs and the like have always provided an outlet but I'm too used to sitting here like a little emperor ringing my bell and having my aides (internet service provider and web browser) present me with treats from the scholars (hobbyist archivers)
