I’m learning to play the talkbox. It’s tons of fun and it’s totally a valid way to make up for the fact that I can’t sing my way out of a paper bag, lol.

I haven't done much with it in a while, but I'm also not giving up on it, so I suppose it's still valid lol.

I collect LaserDiscs

I got started with the format around 2010, and it was super neat to delve into this old, but strangely good, format. I found that most players and films were super cheap, and as a poor family with really no ability to move to HD yet, the SD format picture was clearly worse than DVD, but not so much so that it was unwatchable or anything.

I spent a lot of time collecting new films, looking at players, etc. etc., but I took a break while in college. Turns out that in that time everything went wild, and now the format is expensive to collect for. So much so that I've basically stopped at the moment. It's still a super neat format though, and I'm not about to offload all my kit just yet.

For anyone looking for info about the format, I'd recommend Techmoan on YouTube. Matt does a lot of interesting tech videos, and the handful he's done on LaserDisc are quite good.
