Restless
I’m really itching for a project of some sort. I have some ideas, but they all would cost a fair amount of money that we don’t really have to spend. So I’m trying to think of what I can create using pretty much stuff I already have.
One medium that comes to mind is video. I’ve got a cheap HD camera I borrowed from work and I’ve got all the video/audio editing software already. But I’m completely coming up empty when it comes to content. I really enjoy watching Classic Game Room and would love to do something like that, but I don’t really want to just emulate something someone else has done already. Though heavens knows I have enough old games to get started.
Another topic I thought of was using video to document a project build, though that puts me back into the lack of funds category.
A long term goal of mine is to get all of my vintage systems off the HDTV in the den to a more period correct setup. Kinda like a dream setup from 1995. Haha! I want to make them all easy to pick up and play without having unplug wires and power adapters to get the system you want working. Just select the system on a switcher, turn on and play. I think I can knock that out fairly cheap, but I’m going to have to take advantage of Garage Sale season which I plan on hitting the circuit hard this year!
For now I’ll just keep the gears turning. When I break through, hopefully it’s something I can go full blast into. Or maybe I’ll discover something completely new and fall in love. Who knows.
