Someone recently asked me if I lived through the "dialup years." I went and pulled this off my bookshelf. @compuserve #modem #retro #nostalgia
Found this vintage Kingman LCD handheld game for sale. Classic Donkey Kong clone from 1982, sold through Tandy/Radio Shack. Out of my price range, but a cool collectible from back in the day.

My "tiny moonwalk" move was actually quite popular back in the day, although finding Converse in a negative 7 size was a real pain.
Susan told me she brought a rubber foot home for me from her trip last week. I told her I already have one. Just another normal day around here. οΏΌ
This 12,000lb, 24'x36' cowboy hat is the perfect size for my ego. #oklahoma #route66 #cowboy #roadtrip
I gained two pounts just looking at this "Snack Treats" jigsaw puzzle. Zebra Cakes? Devil Dogs? Krispy Kreme? This is not the puzzle for people on a diet! #vintage #retro #puzzle #jigsawpuzzle #snack #treats
My coworkers found this in the trash and saved it for me. I thought it was a camera but Google says "Pentax Spotmeter V analog handheld light meter." Yet another thing I own that I love and have no use for! #pentax #analog #vintage #retro #camera #lightmeter
I sold my last one at Boatfest! Story of my life!
A coworker found this in the trash and rescued it for me. I wonder how long it's been in someone's desk? I also... don't know what to do with it? I have a collection of stuff I've "saved" but don't have a use for.

Thanks for listening! The pool guy said they can have it fixed in a couple of weeks. So many problems in life can be solved with a credit card -- of course that can lead to other problems, haha.
Snow !
Robβs winter adventures and a pool disaster.
Well worth listening to the YDKF episode for this one- podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/y...
When the days are dark and the world feels bleak, all it takes is finding a couple of 5 1/4" floppy disk storage containers at a thrift store to brighten my day. #retro #vintage #nostalgia #nostalgic #retrocomputer #retrocomputing #floppy #floppydisk #diskette #thrift #goodwill
Hey #OKC people get out today and #vote for #DavidHolt. I love what he's done for #OklahomaCity and the @okcthunder.bsky.social ! Brought to you by a random guy who likes that stuff and loves this city.
I used that new AI app to look through my pictures and create a new profile picture for me. This is what I got.
Susan hurt her back, I fell on the ice, and the pool got wrecked. How was your winter storm experience? I give ours a solid D+. (We're both fine. The pool is not fine.) www.robohara.com?p=15595 #oklahoma #winterstorm #snow
Attention everyone in the North East!
Did you know a Vintage Computer Festival is happening this coming weekend outside of Montreal?

Just saw this on FB Marketplace. They're asking $4k so I am looking for three investors who would like to split it four ways also it stays at my house all the time and I will be living in it. #nostalgia #retro #mcdonalds
I forgot to mention, if you do download it (you can get it for free) be sure to rate it and, if you leave a review, tell him I sent you! Trying to get this great version of Pac-Mana little action.
My favorite new game of 2026 is Booze Elroy -- a Pac-Man close that adds dozens of new gameplay options. Want new mazes? To play blindfolded? To play against 8 ghosts? This made Pac-Man feel new to me all ovre again. Tons of fun. pinback.itch.io/booze-elroy #retrogaming #itchio
What's your favorite computer game that features a ninja? Mine's Shinobi but The Last Ninja is a close second. podcast.robohara.com/sprite-castl... #c64 #commodore #podcast #retrogaming

Despite getting a flu shot, I caught it and have been as sick since Wednesday evening. Susan's been loading me up on DayQuil and NyQuil and each time I think I'm feeling better, it wears off and I get the chills and feel like I'm seasick. Great weekend to watch football.
Close. Permanent-Pressatory.
Alternate ending: Scrooge sees a gold coin in the unit and goes in after at, at which point Jacob Marley slams the door closed and turns it on, leaving Scrooge to spin, wash, and tumble dry for all eternity.
@segfaultcult.bsky.social Four years ago, my wife bought am expensive brand new washer/dryer combo. Earlier this week they hauled it away and we could not have been happier. www.robohara.com?p=15587
I am troubleshooting a power station that won't charge and the compoany asked me if I have a spare PC cable and I'm like huh boy you don't know me.
2025 was a crazy year for us. Here were some of my highlights (and lowlights): www.robohara.com?p=15564
