Continuing my series on work/life/channel balance, this week we are going to talk about the channel! So, as you have probably seen in past posts, RetroTech Chris is a time commitment. Before I started the channel, my quiet weekends were quiet! Now, they are a little busier with filming and editing. Couple that with the fact that I’m […]

Work/Life/Channel Balance Part 2: Life!
Continuing my series on work/life/channel balance, this week we are going to talk about life! So, first, I think the running joke in my family is: Chris, retro computers ARE your life. Haha, fair, I do spend some time on the hobby, and as folks know, I like to tinker. But fair to say, there are three other […]
Work/Life/Channel Balance Part 1: Work!
Okay, so this week’s post will be a little different! As I’ve gone through the summer and ping ponged a bit between marathon vacations, marathon workweeks, marathon content creation, and.. well.. marathon everything else, it’s interesting to pause a minute and look at how everything comes together, and what is unique and enriching about our lives. As such, […]
Back to the Editing Room, #SepTandy is Right Around the Corner!
Okay, deep breath, it’s time to get back to work! This weekend is going to be “editing weekend” to get my DFW meetup video out and to start working on #SepTandy videos! I hope to release the DFW video next weekend and the #SepTandy videos at the beginning and middle of September. More to come! Hope that you […]
Time for Tinkering (Plus Bonus Collab)!
As many can appreciate, a good part of the retro hobby involves tinkering! Lately, I have been spending more time tinkering and less time creating content, but that will change soon 🙂 With the DFW weekend trip (and a beach trip this weekend!), I’ve also had some busy (but insanely fun!) weekends too. The great news? We’re weeks […]
Channel Milestone: 1000 Subscribers
Well, after 14 months or so, the channel finally hit a milestone: 1000 subscribers! I’m not really focused on numbers, just find it fun to share what interests me with others. It does have me thinking a little bit about the content I release, and how to best describe it to others. I think if I had to […]
My Visit to the DFW Retro Computing Meetup
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to do something that I have been wanting to do for quite some time: I attended a DFW Retro Computing Meetup! Now, some folks may be aware of the fact that I’m located in the East Cost of the US, but I can say that was definitely not a deterrent!! The meetup was […]
Summertime and Channel Videos!
It’s summertime! That means that the weather is nice and vacations are abundant 🙂 Since those vacations tend to occupy weekends, and weekends are when I make videos, I’ve been working to create a backlog of videos so that I can keep up with that one video per week release cadence that has become a channel trademark. So […]
My Book of Nostalgia: Chapter 6: Present-Day Nostalgia Part 3 – The Year 2021
At long last, we reach the present! I’ll talk briefly about how the collection has changed in the year 2021 thus far, and what we have been up to with RetroTech Chris. The collection has continued to both grow and shrink simultaneously in 2021. I’ve been sending some systems out the door to get into hands of other […]
My Book of Nostalgia: Chapter 5: Present-Day Nostalgia Part 2 – The Year 2020
We’re getting close to the end of the current-day story! Let’s have a look at the year 2020. One focus item for 2020 was getting CRT monitors for all computers in the basement. I did a lot of driving around the DC area, but was able to finally accomplish this! Also, pretty much all machines got memory, cache, […]
