Welcome to the Retro Hack Shack! My name is Aaron and on this channel I make, break, and hack on vintage computer systems and other technology. I have a love of computers from the 70s, 80s, and 90s and decided to start filming my adventures with them. A little about me ... I have been a maker since I was old enough to hold a screwdriver. I have worked in the IT industry for companies like Cisco, New Relic, NetApp, Oracle, Sun Microsystems, and Hewlett Packard. I co-host several shows about technology for TWiT.tv including FLOSS Weekly. In 2012 I founded Benicia Makerspace. I also wrote a book called Linux for Makers which you can find in the links below.

YouTube, with the door locked.

Aegis plays a clean stream instead of YouTube's player, so pre-roll ads, trackers, and fingerprinting never ride along. Drop Shields any time if you want the official player back.
