It’s the year 2025.
Sony has finally announced that it will stop producing MiniDiscs.

MiniDisc was once so popular in Japan, there’s an Emoji built into every phone.

💽

You did well, little guy. You can rest now.

New blog post: iPod 3G conversion to SD card and a new battery.

I wanted to document my steps for anyone else that wanted to try this. And you don't need a disk image from the iPod as a starting point.

Stumbled across a great self-serve bar in Hiroshima: Hybrid. It's a retro game museum with tons of vintage vending machines with beer, spirits, snacks, and canned food. You can also play games for 10 min per 100 yen with the Famicom and Super Famicom boxes. What a vibe!
