Today I’m unboxing a IBM WorkPad z50 which was a quirky $1,000 PC for CEOs. There are a ton of quirks and features built into this little handheld PC! ++ WATCH >> https://youtu.be/y1nHgkcj-Q8
The IBM WorkPad series of PCs, also known as the IBM WorkPad PC Companion, was a line of portable computing devices introduced by IBM in the late 1990s. These devices were designed with the aim of providing professionals with a compact and lightweight computing solution for on-the-go productivity. The WorkPad series was particularly notable for its sleek and ergonomic design, making it highly portable and easy to carry.
The WorkPad PCs were powered by various iterations of the Palm operating system, a precursor to modern mobile operating systems like iOS and Android. They featured monochrome displays and stylus-based input, emphasizing pen-based computing. This made them well-suited for tasks such as note-taking, calendar management, and basic document editing. Despite their limited processing power compared to full-fledged laptops of the time, the WorkPad series offered a convenient and efficient means of managing personal information and performing essential computing tasks while away from the office or home.
Though the WorkPad series was eventually discontinued, it played a significant role in the early development of portable computing technology. Its emphasis on mobility and productivity paved the way for later generations of mobile devices, influencing the design and functionality of modern smartphones and tablets. The legacy of the IBM WorkPad series can still be seen in the portable computing devices we use today.

Vinyl records hold a timeless allure that transcends generations, captivating music enthusiasts with their unique appeal. One of the most compelling aspects is the warm, organic sound quality they offer. Unlike digital formats, vinyl reproduces music through analog technology, allowing for a rich, textured audio experience. The subtle imperfections, gentle pops, and warm undertones create a sense of intimacy and authenticity that digital recordings often struggle to replicate. This tactile nature of vinyl, where the needle physically interacts with the grooves, establishes a tangible connection between the listener and the music, fostering a more immersive and emotional experience.
Furthermore, vinyl records are cherished for their tangible presence and artistic value. The large, visually striking album artwork and meticulous packaging provide a sensory experience that digital files simply cannot match. Collecting vinyl fosters a sense of discovery and appreciation for the finer details of an artist’s work, from the layout of the album cover to the meticulous arrangement of tracks. Moreover, the act of flipping through record bins in a store or at a flea market fosters a sense of serendipity and connection with music history. Holding a vinyl record is like holding a piece of musical heritage, allowing listeners to engage with music in a way that transcends the ephemeral nature of streaming services. This tangible connection to music’s past and the sheer aesthetic pleasure of vinyl contribute to its enduring appeal.
I was pretty hyped for Cyberpunk 2077 back in 2020 and I have a stupid amount of merchandise for the game. Now that the game is patched and Phantom Liberty DLC is released it is time to share it with you! Have YOU gone back to replay Cyberpunk 2077? Are you hyped for the new DLC?
Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a dystopian future, specifically in the year 2077, in the sprawling metropolis of Night City, California. This city is a vibrant and chaotic blend of towering skyscrapers, neon-lit alleyways, and grimy backstreets. The cityscape is divided into distinct districts, each with its own unique atmosphere and social hierarchy. The corporate heart of Night City, known as City Center, is a gleaming showcase of opulence and excess, where the mega-corporations wield immense power. The bustling and multicultural Watson district is a hub of technological innovation and street-level commerce, while the Pacifica district stands as a stark contrast, having fallen into disrepair and neglect, inhabited by gangs and squatters.
Technology permeates every aspect of life in this world. Cybernetic enhancements are commonplace, allowing individuals to enhance their physical abilities or integrate advanced tech into their bodies. Holographic billboards, flying cars, and robotic NPCs populate the urban landscape, creating a sensory overload of futuristic stimuli. However, beneath the surface glamour lies a seedy underbelly of crime, corruption, and social inequality. Street gangs, fixers, and mercenaries vie for control, while the city’s political landscape is a tangled web of intrigue and backstabbing. In this world, power is a commodity, and survival often means navigating a treacherous path through the tangled web of alliances and betrayals.

Here is my entire Atari 2600 / VCS game collection. So many great games including popular, uncommon and expensive games plus hidden gems and more! The good news is most Atari games are dirt cheap under $10 and still a ton of fun to play! What are some of your best original Atari memories? Do you still have one?
The Atari 2600 holds a timeless appeal that transcends its original release in 1977. Its charm lies in its pioneering role in the home video game industry, fundamentally shaping the way we interacted with electronic entertainment. At the heart of its allure is its simplicity and accessibility. The console featured a joystick and a single-button controller, making it intuitive for players of all ages to pick up and enjoy. Its library of games, while limited by modern standards, offered a diverse range of experiences, from classic arcade adaptations like Space Invaders to imaginative titles like Adventure. This variety ensured that there was something for everyone, catering to different tastes and skill levels.
Furthermore, the Atari 2600 was a gateway to boundless imagination. Its pixelated graphics and bleeping sound effects ignited a sense of wonder and creativity, allowing players to envision grand adventures within the confines of their television screens. The concept of interchangeable cartridges was revolutionary, offering a level of customization and expansion that was previously unheard of in home entertainment. This not only extended the lifespan of the console but also fostered a sense of ownership and agency for players. Nostalgia also plays a significant role in its enduring appeal, as it evokes fond memories of a simpler time in gaming history, acting as a cherished relic for both seasoned enthusiasts and new generations curious about the roots of video game culture.
