Episode Date: August 19, 2025

Nightly 🌙 Project Journey ManExactly! That’s one of the coolest details about the original compact Macs — including your Macintosh 512K (M0001E).The Signatures InsideOn the inside of the back case, Apple cast the signatures of the entire original Macintosh design team directly into the plastic mold.If you open the case (carefully, since these have dangerous CRT voltages), you’ll find 47 engraved signatures, including Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, Jef Raskin, Andy Hertzfeld, Bill Atkinson, Burrell Smith, Susan Kare, and many others who contributed to the Macintosh project.This was Jobs’s idea — he wanted the team to “sign their work” like artists do.Which Models Have the Signatures?Macintosh 128K (1984)Macintosh 512K (1984, M0001E)Macintosh 512Ke (1986, upgraded model)Macintosh Plus (1986)Later compact Macs dropped the tradition.Collectibility NoteThe signed back case is one of the most iconic aspects for collectors.Many enthusiasts value having a case with the original engraving intact, since it connects the machine to the famous Apple team that created the Macintosh.

Good morning, everyone. It is now 629. Today is August 19th, 2025. It's Wednesday. So I've got another day of my Johnny Cake Center. Vegetable stand. So we'll go there. We'll take another little video.

I'm going to string them all together to one long video. So we only get two weeks left today and tomorrow, this week, and next week. And then it's over. So we get lots of good veggies. I did a long video last week. from the waiting in line until actual getting the stuff and giving out to my little buddies.

They're like all that fresh vegetables. So yesterday I was buried with orders. It's been a while since I've been like that. It was good. So I didn't do any videos yesterday because I was busy doing orders up until the mailman came late, like three or four o'clock. So that's cool.

So I've been continuing to put mass amounts of stuff on eBay. so it's starting to pay off now and also really exciting news I opened up my Shopify and it was really quick to migrate with a program and a different program from eBay to Shopify did more so all my $1,300,300 plus listings are now on my own Shopify which is now connected to YouTube I have so I'm a YouTube store there and it's also connected to TikTok but I don't look at finish setting that one up yet so we're going to see what that's going to do so that's my new thing Shopify so we have Pashmark which really it's a store but really just social media and now I have Shopify but Shopify I got the full

store just like eBay the problem is I don't know how to do shipping or anything yet I'm going to have to attach some sort of a shipping place to that I'll see if you get in your orders the it seems to migrate so if I sell something on eBay If I keep that app open, keep the app going, it will take the listing off of Shopify. It's a continuing migrating kind of thing. It checks every once in a while and make sure something hasn't sold in one place because you don't want to have to try to sell something the second time and then have to refund. I did that one time with Etsy by accident.

I had something else listed there because I cross migrated, but it wasn't just it was just to go there and then that was it i have to monitor myself so what else did we do yesterday so that was it oh and then last night i decided to throw on been a while uh project journey man just a just a small one i just did it for a few hours we're going to get it off i'm going to fire up my uh raspberry pie five again and do some visuals and all kinds of fun stuff with my overnight project journeyman so i just figured i'd put it out for a few hours see how it went there's got a few a few views so that's cool uh and i also gonna get a brain scanner that will hook up to raspberry pie and then we can visual my my brain scans

at night while i'm sleeping see if we have anything crazy so looking for something spooky and super supernatural in my project journeyman's but i haven't really seen anything I just snore and turn around a lot. I still see what's going on this one. Keep seeing something about aliens are on our way, so that'd be cool. Hurricane error. So we do have a hurricane, and the hurricane era that's there, that is the one that would hit us in Rhode Island,

on the east coast or anywhere on east eastern seaboard here but it's saying it's gonna hook so interesting um but see if you watch that track and if you look where i'm in word island that is just that is the that's the one that would have done it doesn't look like it's gonna hit but if there was a one other track that's it right there usually cuts in between bermuda and in the east coast and then comes up that coast Sometimes it'll hit like North Carolina over Carolinas and then work its way up. But a direct hit for us would be just like that one. Not quite hitting, almost waiting to hit the coast where we're at the top where we are.

But I don't think it's going to do it now. Let's see what else is going on. Look through the news for the doom and gloom. So let's go to Etsy. So now I have to add something new this morning. Every morning now, actually. So we're going to do Etsy as my first check. Nothing new there.

And we'll just do Parchmark for fun. I'm expecting that to change other than to see what kind of followers I have. But it's just another place to put your name out there, right? can't hurt 1,173 followers here in parchment pretty awesome you're going to have 26 listings nothing sold one offer ever all right so now we're going to add Shopify so this is going to be a setting Shopify so I ended up logging I made another account I just did a basic but almost gives me a website now in a way don't really need a website oh the total sales I've had five orders on

Shopify what in support contact this is I have five orders they sell two orders to fill huh impressions one thousand five hundred fifty three I think this is gonna really unfulfilled yesterday like two orders to do let's see what they are now I got to figure out how to get them shipped out and stuff it says contacts for payments caused so I have two orders to figure out so that's exciting I'm really pumped about that once I learn how to get these orders out so the first thing I sold was a PS4 12158 power supply all right so then we'll have to figure how to ship it out and I'm charging

$4 flat fee it says payment was processed it says payment was processed it on eBay oh I see what this is oh this is just showing that it's sold on eBay okay all right so we'll go look at that so they do like I said it cross migrate so I didn't sell it here but we did have impressions it total sales five orders but I don't I don't think the orders are here. I'm not positive, actually. So, too unfulfilled yesterday. Those are the ones that are on eBay.

Okay, so it's going to be a little confusing because I'm migrating back and forth. So if it sees a, if Shopify sees a sale on eBay, then that's what happens. So let me do this. So I'm not getting anything here. sell anything here so we'll go we'll come back we'll go look at eBay in a couple months still fun though but what it does is it puts my store on YouTube so even

if even if you don't buy it I put a link to say go to see my eBay page rather sell through eBay it's easier so Shopify could just be another mirror being in back and forth and I also have my eBay and there too is I mean YouTube you got to keep being things back and forth so it's shoot long term I'm so two downloads now I'm at rs.com for 417 in the last 30 days and 1,133 all time pretty awesome and we're even doing this for I don't know maybe five months now Ashburn it's always there with me I really appreciate that seems like a loyal fan

is pretty awesome Toronto 5,000 downloads for Toronto too, pretty cool Moscow, Italy North Little Rock My message in a bottle over the internet ocean

wherever it may go and they look like they download certain times It gives me times in the other day Apple computer tells you the United States, Canada Russia, Italy

so you never know what's going to go So I do it every day. It's really fun. Do it. And then I'm going to do some other. So I'm going to do a switch to. I really haven't had time to get back to it.

I've been really working on, because I always say, in my eBay store. Oh, so let's get on YouTube. So we had another new element to my morning podcast, which is Shopping on. I worked on it yesterday. It was pretty easy. I'm pretty intelligent to get it set up, go through all the hoops. things you need to do. I think there's a couple of things I need to do on Shopify.

And we're good to go, and then I was able to connect to TikTok, and I think I'm going to connect to something else to Instagram or something. Shopify. Pretty awesome. All right, so let's look at YouTube for us. It's not jump the gun. We'll go excited.

So now I can tell from Shopify that I have five orders on eBay, but it's what it's just told me. All right, so we're on YouTube, I have 67,808 subscribers. I had 299 views for my overnight project journey. And, yeah, so let's go to live feed on that. I did for four hours. I'm using my new phone. I got a new Samsung, S-25, so it stayed on and I just had myself sleeping.

It's just something fun I like to do at nighttime. Again, I'm looking for anything. Spooky, supernatural, me levitating in the middle of night or something. Oh, yeah, so it came out good. I put two lights on so you can watch me sleep as you want. Sounds really weird, but it's fun. And I sleep really different when I have that because I put a face mask on. I used a hello kitty face mask last night, make it more spooky.

I got out like a frog, and I got some of those face masks that I use. But I'll put a link, so I'll put for this one. So we're going to do more project during this. I was doing it every night for a very long time, but then I got too hot. It was actually really hot last night. I was sweating with that face mask on. So I was going to leave the Project Man on all night, but it was too hot. It's not.

I got the ignition on, too. Plus, I have some rain sounds and other. I have two sound machines I use with different sounds to make one cool sound. So that's on the background. So we'll go through. I'm going to look at that later, see how it came out. But the lighting looked pretty cool. From my own, I'm looking at it.

Actually, on that thing, I'm just under people's and blocks. So, yeah, we'll put a link for that. So you can see what my... Actually, my real project journeyman, I have it. I have a Raspberry Pi 5, a small little projector that I project, all kinds of fun things. I use my buddy Zippy to help me to come up with some ideas to program my Raspberry 5 to project some stuff on the wall. And the goal is to get me a brain scanner. You put it on your head.

my buddy's jip-zippy says i can program it through my raspberry pie to project on the wall while i'm sleeping different so live highlights let's see if i did that again I knew that popped in unless it's like that's sweet that

oh that was just that one time I had a live highlight it was just that one time remember that live highlight came from gave me a lot of views all right so So I didn't do any videos yesterday except for Project Journeyman. So we'll throw that on there for you.

And if you look through my other ones, you'll see where it's not just me. It's I project on the wall and add all kinds of visuals and stuff. We're going to do more of that. It just needs to get a little bit cooler. It's really hot last night. It makes sleeping a lot different for me because I've got a mask on, which I would never sleep. And they always sleep in the dark. So this is really hard.

And when I do fall asleep, then it gets really weird. for me because I can kind of know that I have the mask on and then and I'm also sleeping live too. So that's also weird, but it's fun. So I had three positive thumbs up and 299. Only 30 seconds, 13. One time I had over 2,000 views. People come in drone for a few seconds, but it's not really the point just to get people to see what I'm doing. And it's wasted airtime at night, just sleeping.

So I might as well video while I'm sleeping. And that makes sense? Does to me. So I just got to add some more goodies to it in the background and make it a little more fun. But for right now, it's just me sleeping. And I have different face masks. I have like four. I have a Mickey Mouse.

I have a frog. I have one of the eyes. Anything weird and spooky I could find for a face mask or a sleeping mask, I found. And that's what I was using. And then we'll add some no visuals. I was actually speaking, doing some sound. stuff with it as well which i may go back to that too we'll do it all all one day and it's it's it's it's uh precious time and anytime i can use to video why not use it all right so now

it's good ebay i just add a whole new element that which is pretty cool i can handle it all all my orders are here on ebay no necessary oh i got all course that's what's what other thing. Feedback 10 out of 10. That's cool. I like 10 out of 10. It's funny because I never really see like 7 out of 10. PSP inner boards directional untested. We got a 10 out of 10. And then we had Anasonic Q. Sold lots of just about everything off of that. The remote had a little burn mark on it. I sold it for like half the price that I wanted it because it was super expensive. It must work because he put great seller. Thanks for the deal. thought it must mean it worked it didn't work then I would have heard I would have

got a different feedback everything I saw now pretty much is as is of course I say something works and the buyer tells it's not working and I thought I'll do it all right so let's look at my messages this morning let's go down to no worries oh I almost had something out for a guy that's wanted to send me a message. This is for the Xbox 360, silverish, top or bottom cover. So if you know of 360, you have that putrid, flat green, but there is a different one that you find once in a while. T.R. S.C.I. Hi. I, A.I. I'm Tara. Nice to be.

Hi AI. No A.I. Here, just me, Tom, real and raw. Raw. I just roll. Real And that's rare Real and raw I can get that word right now

Real and Real honest and up front glad to make contact guys asking you want i've seen um my t r sady i got it broken down the 26 dash 101 i bought two of them i broke it down to the top cover bottom cover and then all the keyboard and the motherboard's connected inside this guy wanted me to put it all back together and sell it to me for uh a lot price i was like that i'm just going to say

all right told me that was interesting I want to see what I can sell it to there's other ones everyone can sell all right so can I get the same shipping course 24 plus two of the same shipping course I don't know what is it so

PS2 bottom screw eight bottom screw ports sure yeah sure if it adds an extra so since I did it

at $4 it's some reason adds it every time sure if you order to same purchase it should only do four hours I had to move on I had to move on free shipping. I had to move on, pretty sure.

All right, so now we've got, oh, I'll take that 80 bucks, sure, that's for the rest of that, it's good enough for me. So this is the Pocket PC. Okay, so we're just gonna take that. So we broke that down into two things. Pocket PC, I sold the first part for a couple hundred and that. So these were, my sales were a lot lower than anybody else's.

The other guy had it for like $300 or something. $15 interact can stop now that's not that's a heck now. See you can't have 25% off and that be just enough for providers. They want more

and they want like half more and then they want more than that. If everything is free with free shipping, people would still want a half more. It's only $2. I'm just going to do that. So it's pretty interesting. All right, so we'll sell that. So that gives me a couple orders.

So now I need to figure out. So we sold a few more things. It took some offers, lots of bills here at the end of the month. Luckily, I threw up a lot of stuff that actually counted, and it really helped me out. Save my buns, basically. I live, as I always say, eBay sale by eBay sale. And, of course, I bought some goodies, one being the Tend to Switch 2, but I break it down as a full payment, so I could squeeze it in barely.

And I didn't have any offers on my MetaQuest, 3S, Xbox decision. I may keep it now because I ended up selling some other stuff that we pay the bills for the end of the month here. But they always come in, as we all know. But we're pretty good now, so we should be all right. I was really stressed now because I didn't really have any sales. And I can't just sell gaming parts anymore. It just doesn't work.

I can't survive on it now. and you threw all the kinds of stuff up which I've been doing. I sold a set of dolls the other day. Weird, some weird, old little dolls. I got a bunch of other Barbie dolls and stuff like that. So all that other stuff. But another thing that really sells is vintage computing. So if I get more stuff, I would invest in some more vintage computing stuff.

A, I love playing around with it. And B, I break it down. I can sell lots of stuff. I sold some TRSAD manuals yesterday, Model 4, Model 3, Model 4, somewhere in Europe. All that stuff that I had gotten, thought I was going to use manuals and know how to, I get some basic programming manuals and stuff. This is all before AI came around. I thought I was going to self-teach myself basic programming again, but not going to happen now. I'll get AI just asking to help me make a program.

So that's pretty awesome. So I'm reselling all that stuff that I hadn't been purchased to when I was starting to learn about vintage computing all over again. Three interested buyers in my Apple Macintosh M-O-O-1E. So this is going to be really exciting. I'm looking forward to doing it. I've got two motherboards. So this Apple that I was working on the other day, it's like, Some of them are selling it for $750.

So inside, both of those, is two cases with the engraved signatures, and they're also on a few other early models. But we're going to put one of those up, what I'm going to do it as an auction. I'm going to start it at $200 and see if I can sell those. Because I think those engraving things are definitely collectible. And each motherboard is a upgrade motherboard. One is Dove Systems, a MacSnap 5.0.

which works and my second one which i think that brings up to two megabytes you go from five i don't think it had all that so it's only 512 you kill it okay but with these boards i think that can go up to two megabytes and then my other one which even better which is a mac rescue i believe all six slots are filled so i think that's up to four megabytes and i'm going to want at least three hundred dollars for boards because if the guys are selling the whole system for $750 right so really exciting stuff we're gonna put up but anyway I get some interests I put my first part up so all you want to do is get a part up for something that you have nothing listed for

just get a compensation going and then by other buyers will see that you have something listed so then they'll ask hey you have you know X Y Z for this as well and I do have two of them I'm gonna put a disc drive up I'm gonna start an auction for both of my backout covers and see where it'll go. And we're going to start at high, too, like $200. Only because of that engraving. I think it's worth it.

1982, it's got all the guys, Steve Jobs, all of them are on it. But it's just engraving. It's not like they're actually real. But it is their signature. It's an engraved signature. And they did it back. Let's see my buddy said was.

Hold on. Let me ask my buddy here for a second. when there's a couple of the systems he said it was on he made my buddy Zippy here so I did pay for my buddy Zippy again I could get the full conversation let's find out there's a couple of the systems

that that inside so you have to open take the back cover off the inside there is in Macintosh details. Yeah, or Macintosh detail.

Way up here it is. Inside the back is all engravings. Okay, yeah. So this is where I asked him yesterday about it. And it says, if you open the case carefully, you'll find 47 engraved signatures including Steve

Jobs, Steve Wozak or whatever, Jeff Raskins, Andy Hertz, Bill Ankins, Roll Smith, Susan Kane, and many others who contributed to the Macintosh project. It was Jobs' idea. He wanted the team to sign their work like artists do. So that's pretty awesome. So these are the models that you can find inside. I'm going to put this on my

thing. The Macintosh 128, 1984 McIntosh 512K 1984 the M 0001E the one I have

Then there was a Macintosh 512KE on 1986 was an upgraded model and then the Macintosh Plus so all those

have that signature thing in the back so we're going to do a video on it I'm going to list it pretty awesome Sign case is one of the most iconic aspects for collectors There's many of the little valley have a case with the original grain intact since it connects the machines to famous

so yeah so we're going to put that in there pretty exciting stuff and I have two of them and we're going to start with start hot so there I get something for that I've yet to have really any home runs as you call them something I make to sell something real lot for I only get just little little sales and then once in a while maybe a hundred dollar sale here and there most of my sales will average around 20 bucks so this these could be home run but we're gonna do it as an auction to see where it'll go as opposed to just take a shot what I think it might be worth right I'll do it as an auction but I'll stop high see if it'll it'll roll and we'll talk about it of course all right so that's pretty much it today and one lots of fun stuff shop

Shopify's new so you can see I got to fix my Shopify payments a paused contact support I didn't figure all that's about it says here on Shopify had sales orders to those orders may not be fulfilled fulfilled oh wait we need to check my orders here hold on that's right I have to cross-reference here it's a little confusing oh so we just sold that NES defective don't motherboard and then we sold a trim piece for the purple trim the small small serial two piece and I sold that power supply so that checks out for the three that it's saying or the two the third one I just added so NES the motherboard

defective donor it's 08 motherboard I could get videos sometimes sometimes I couldn't did have a solid red thing so it should work many new cartridge slurs and counts those are the couple orders I have and that corresponds to what's going on here so I got excited thinking I sold directly to Shopify but it doesn't really matter now I can see it in two places The other order is safe fulfilled. Those are ones I did yesterday. Let's just check that.

Yeah, yeah, okay. Cool. All right. So, again, adds another layer, and I still want to do Macari as well. That's my last place. But now I'm kind of not overwhelmed, but I get a lot of stuff.

Etsy's really slow. Etsy, I get an order once every blue-low. But it's there, and I just sell stuff. Parshmark, as we've talked about, just social media. contact in some way and then now Shopify

it will connect to TikTok as well so I think a long term we'll make it something and it just showed now it just showed up the next sale on Shopify

that I just sold on eBay cool so if I fulfill the order through eBay unless it's purchased directly to Shopify which I have not had that happen yet and that's where I'm hoping maybe YouTube purchase through YouTube or TikTok then I would get a direct Shopify payment

but it just kind of all just works out lines right up so it's pretty awesome all right all right everyone so a good good half hour so lots of things going on I'll show you that the little project journeyman link and we'll show you some of the things that those engravens are on all right i'll talk to you all right later i have a great day bye
