Port Washington DVD’s

I am burning and selling a small batch of Port Washington DVD’s. If you liked the film why not donate some money and get a swell boxed copy of your very own? Play it on your big screen TV / home theatre system, not a MP4 compression-o-matic computer version. (Though those are available)

It’s a 2 disc set that contains the movie, 2 audio commentaries, text commentary, behind the scenes, bloopers and outtakes, “making of” special effects deconstruction, storyboard-to-sequence comparisons, pre-production and more! Includes full color case labeling so it’ll look swell in your collection.

For the bargain price of $20 US, including shipping! (to aforementioned US) Wow, you can’t really beat that. Well, you can, perhaps with a big stick, but oh well. Anyway, if interested simply click below – thanks!

Oh yeah. Hook me up with that Port Washington DVD action. Yeah.  

 

Heckendorn Returns 1.5

OK well I’m back from my amazing north woods adventure, which actually had more action than the movie I reference in this update title. Anyways, here’s what’s up:

The teaser trailer for the documentary I’m helping with – “Echoes of the Past” – will debut in late July/early August. For more information please visit One Man Down Productions.

That’s about it for now but fear not – some interesting stuff is on the way. Stay tuned!

Death of an Old Friend

Late last night, a dear old friend of mine died…

Shed not a tear for me...

After half a decade of faithful service, my trusty $7 Radio Shack de-soldering iron finally bit the dust. It died in the call of duty, too, as it snapped while removing a large electrolytic capacitor. It has helped me build countless portables, sadly it won’t be around to see the one it was working on come to competition.

Oh, hm, it’s that pesky 666 date isn’t it. I guess this freak death is to be expected.

On a lighter note, thanks to everyone who made it to the Midwest Gaming Classic, and especially those who came to see my presentation thing. Now if only they’d let me do karaoke…

Midwest Gaming Classic Dates and Times

On top of whatever I promised to do in the below update, I will also have a PowerPoint demonstration about the history of my projects, perhaps a video or two, and a couple “works in progress” I may also bring the original VCSp, since it’s been refurbished recently. See you there!
