Alright, guys, here I introduce a camcorder I got at Goodwill last Friday!
As you can see, the camera works! The camera was also in its original box with its accessories! The tripod I used for holding the camera was also from that same Goodwill. I am very happy with my find and purchase! Thanks Goodwill!
(Oh, the camcorder is the Panasonic PV-L659, as printed on the camera body.)
I'll release footage from the camera once I get the technology to digitize these VHS-C tapes.

King of the Hill: That boy ain’t right. King of the Hill is an animated television series created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels that originally aired in 1997. The show is essentially a slice-of-life sitcom that centers around the lives of the Hill family in the fictional town of Arlen, Texas. We tend to spend our time with Hank Hill, a tightly-wound propane salesman, his boisterous wife Peggy, their son Bobby– the fabled boy who ain’t right– and their eclectic group of friends and neighbors. Rooted in dry humor but sincere down-to-earth storytelling, King of the Hill explores the quirks of everyday life in middle America, particularly the colorful characters seen in a politically-divided 90s Texas. The show delves into a wide range of topics, from family dynamics to cultural and societal issues; despite its somewhat meme-worthy status, King of the Hill is critically acclaimed, and it endures in the hearts of fans for its lovable character-driven writing.
Wi-Fi: I need a Mai Tai/so fuckin’ sci-fi/give me the password to the fuckin’ Wi-Fi. Wireless Fidelity, or Wi-Fi, is a technology that allows devices to connect to the internet or other networks wirelessly using radio waves. Though experimentation and development began years prior, it began to see broader adoption and implementation in the late 1990s with the first official Wi-Fi standard, 802.11, being established in 1997 by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Wi-Fi technology started appearing in consumer devices and public spaces like coffee shops and airports, revolutionizing the way people access the internet by providing convenient and wireless connectivity. Over the years, Wi-Fi has evolved and become an integral part of our daily lives, connecting everything from smartphones and laptops to smart home devices, and it has significantly changed how we access and use the internet.
The Y2K Scare: How the World Prepared for a Potential Digital Disaster That Never Fully Happened. Also known as the Millennium Problem & Year 2000 Problem

Would airplanes fall from the sky? Would banks lose financial records? Would power grids fail? Could military systems malfunction? The fear surrounding the “Y2K bug” became one of the largest global technology scares in modern…

If remember the sound of eeeeEEEEEeee-kkhkhkhhh-DOOONG before connecting to the Internet, congratulations! You survived the World Wide Web in the 1990s.
Back then, the Internet was new, weird, and a little bit wild. Compared to today's seamless, always-connected digital world, the 90s Web was a chaotic but charming mess of neon backgrounds, visitor counters, and pages best viewed in Netscape Navigator (or sometimes Internet Explorer, if you were brave enough).
Since Pinky and the Brain Versus Freakazoid takes place in the 90s, I had to remind myself constantly what the Internet actually was back then. Here’s a look at some of the biggest differences:
Connection Speed
Then: Dial-up modems ruled the land. Connecting to the Internet meant listening to a noisy symphony of beeps and screeches before even thinking about checking your email. If someone picked up the phone? Too bad, you've just been disconnected.
Now: Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi everywhere. No screeching. No disconnections when Grandma calls. Web pages load near instantly, and nobody fights over who gets to use the phone anymore.
Web Pages
Then: Websites were handcrafted, often coded in raw HTML, usually by people that had no idea what they were doing. The pages were often filled with blinking scrolling titles, bright green text on yellow backgrounds, tiny animated GIFs, guestbooks, visitor counters, and a little image that said "Under Construction" even when they were never going to be finished.
Now: Websites are sleek, professional, and (hopefully) responsive and optimized for mobile. No more backgrounds of pixelated stars. But now, everything is algorithm-driven for search optimization, packed with ads, and suspiciously designed to keep you scrolling forever.
Emoticons
Then: Online conversations were peppered with text-based emoticons... not emoji. Sidewise smiley faces like :-) and =) and the classic XD. And none of the fancy Unicode stuff like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. They didn't exist yet.
Now: We have emoji keyboards on every device. Instead of typing :), people just tap 😊. There's nearly 4,000 emoji today, and more are being added every year.
I haven't even gotten into the advent of social media instead of web rings and newsgroups, or the differences in search engines.
The World Wide Web was slower, way less polished, and certainly weirder than what we have today. But it was also more personal—it wasn't dominated by massive companies, and if you wanted an online presence, you had to make it yourself.
Do you remember the Internet of the 90s (or 2000s)? What do you miss, or what are you glad is gone forever?
