I don't want to work - I want to bang on the drum all day.

That is all.

Lyric Quiz...

I needed some new amunition for my earbuds.

Didn't he do a video that was extra special for being done with the Newtek Video Toaster all by hisself? It had to do with the Amiga, if I remember correctly.

I remember the Video Toaster... that was one wickedly awesome piece of hardware for it's time... And yes, it was for the Amiga...

Ah. Found it, now that I had a bit more time after work.

Now that you can see it and compare it to today's CGI it is somewhat crusty and old. At the time it took many weeks, a lot of invested personal time, and several computers rendering it all together.

Heck, I think I even have the old Amigotimes magazine that showcased it lying around at home somewhere. Sigh. No piece of hardware I have owned since then shares the same sense of wonderful abandon that my Amiga had. I wonder where my innocence went and if I can recover it by buying enough crackerjack boxes to shuffle through pink-stained sweetened popcorn.
