It’s Alive! It’s Alive!

Well now, would you look at that? It’s Halloween time once again, not that our 100+ degree weather would suggest! Nevertheless, Shannon has been decorating the house for the season, Sam is coding this year’s Halloween update to his game, and the time feels right to plug in the jukebox and get into the spirit of things.

The jukebox is now broadcasting my annual brew of spooky (but kid-friendly) songs, movie trailers, ads, and more. As in years past, I’ve added some new treats, and maybe even a trick or two. You’ll just have to tune in and find out! Once again, Sam has helped with ironing out some more stubborn formatting glitches in the jukebox interface. That’s a good thing, too, as I’ve added the chat feature back to the jukebox. I invite you to participate in the séance!

Elsewhere, my collection of vintage computing, videogaming, and pop culture artifacts is (slowly!) being added back to the site. I suspect that effort will continue for some time yet. Thanks to some old friends, I’ve managed to add a few items that I’ve been seeking for a long time.

There are some good things coming up, and I’m excited to share them with you in the near future. Thanks for checking in! Oh, and… Happy Halloween!

No Big Giveaway at 9

Stop It! Stop It!

Well-played, Dr. Challis!

It’s a wrap! Another Halloween has made it around the block, parked at the curb, and nestled under a tarp until next year. While there was no big giveaway at 9 as teased (and that might be a good thing after all), we did our part to contribute to the neighborhood candy-consumption cause.

Happy Halloween! Oh, and we’ll see you again next year Dr. Challis!

It’s Time Again… Halloween!

Something’s bugging poor Buddy

Welcome back! It’s time again to resurrect the jukebox and conjure up some Halloween spirits. This year, Sam shared in the gravedigging duties as the aging codebase that broadcasts the spooky vibes to your ears needing some fixing. That’s not surprising really, since this has been a tradition for over twenty-years now. The jukebox interface should now render properly on mobile devices (I hope?); it’s been on the to-do list for far too long.

New songs are being added to the usual favorites all month long, and a new chat feature has been added. Pleaes drop a comment there if you like what you’re hearing or have suggestions.

Enjoy! Oh, and Happy Halloween!
