It is a dark and cloudy Saturday. I glance out my window and see my neighbors’ car is running in his driveway. “So what?” you say. It has probably been running several hours. He manages a bar/club of some sort. He comes home wasted and either forgets to turn off the car or passes out in the drivers seat. This used to happen about once a year. This is the third time this month.
I hear you.
No. Not my business.
I took a couple of 8mm videotapes to get transposed to a DVD. They are from the early ‘90s — one from before my youngest was born and one right after. It should be a hoot to watch them.
I have some old, and I mean old, 8mm film my mom and dad took when I was a kid (and before). I may take one of the reels to get it done. I’m not sure if these film is even any good. Who knows? We are talking celluloid from the 1960s.
I think I’ll have it put on a thumb drive. Who knows, if I can figure out how, I might post video of me as a tyke.
This blog has been boring for a long time. I can lower the bar further by showing home movies. There is nothing more boring than someone else’s home movies.

I have some transcribed family video that my dad (died 23 years ago) did and narrated. Stuff from the 50's and maybe 40's with great grandparents and grandpa that I never met. Some goes into the 60's with me and my brothers and parents. Precious stuff to me.
What a wonderful idea. Go for it.
If you like the video/film and want to keep it for future generations, store it online, before long the media you use may be obsoleted, just like the media it is on right now....
That’s a good idea, Mr B, especially since I’ve read about DVDs deteriorating.
I’ve got a couple of discs I had converted a while ago. I need to upload them all.
I have 14-15 8mm camcorder tapes and 4-5 reels of my parents stuff I would like to do over time.
