Kari
Hi, I’m Kari and I’m just a girl in her 20s who loves sharing my passion for making, fixing, coding and collecting cool retro things.
So, join me as I travel back in time and experience old computers and video games systems from the 70s, 80s and 90s (sometimes 00s as well ;) for the first time. Through seeing how things worked, showing my attempts at restoring/repairing and fixing them when needed, trying out classic accessories and software, and playing video games from the past.
Likewise, I love to explore old programming languages, from typing in programs from books and magazine listings, to trying my hand at converting old code to work with modern systems.
I even share my love for all things pop culture, paying homage to timeless icons, through making and sharing files for you to make and do yourself, using newer technologies like 3D-printing and laser cutting.
