Nomadic Research Labs

The first "digital nomad" now has a mobile media digitizing lab on an island north of Seattle, and this channel is mostly dedicated to detailing the processes (along with some of the treasures, including a ton of my own technomadic history). Video tapes of various flavors, audio reels and cassettes, 8 and 16mm home movies including sound, slides and negatives, books, documents... almost everyone has a fading mountain of vintage media that is impossible to back up, search, or share. The tools to deal with this are diverse and complex, but the rewards are huge. 

Here you will learn how to handle your own archives or assemble a lab to perform these services for clients. Along the way, we share some discoveries from the time machine... including a few from my quirky history of traveling the US on a computerized recumbent bicycle back in the 1980s.
