As mentioned at the end of last week's video, I shot way too much material for the Christmas Thrifting episode, so much so that I was able to spin off a second, shorter thrifting session out of the footage.  Seems like a good way to end the year.

Speaking of years, I've also got a thoroughly informal/unscripted "State of the Archive" for you as well as we head into 2024, which won't go public until Monday.  As some of you may know, I've had a major family health issue over the last few years, which in the last few months has become much more consuming--and, alas, it does somewhat affect my release schedule.  Before I sound any more cryptic, please check out that State of The Archive address at http://youtu.be/p7I7HGox9P8

Nonetheless, I absolutely intend to continue to roll as regularly as possible into the new year.  Next week will be a Ben's Junk week.  I Intend for the following week to be the first regular OA of 2024.

Thank you for letting us know what's happening Ben and appreciate the fortitude that it took to talk about this. Your family comes first and don't worry about us - we'll still be here for when you're ready to return. Take care and have a good new year. :)

Not sure if you are aware of this, but DVDs from other regions or video formats like PAL can be played on a Mac or PC with VLC. VLC is able to bypass the region coding of the DVD drive too, which really comes in handy since the firmware inside DVD drives only allow the region coding to be changed five times. I wouldn't mind that little photo frame. The resolution isn't great like you mentioned, but just for the pure novelty I'd like to tinker with it. Not sure why people tend to hate on the Mariah Carey Christmas album, and perhaps I'm being blinded by childhood nostalgia of hearing it on the radio all the time, but her Christmas music... isn't THAT bad. I think the issue is how overplayed one particular song is. I guess I'll admit I own the CD.. and haven't destroyed it, since it's part of my Holiday music collection. I left my comment about your real life situation at the YouTube video. I'm so sorry to hear about that. :(
