New video early access, "Terrible Button"

It's a teardown of that weird police doorbell thing I got from my real estate agent last year, the disappointing conformal coated 720p camera with a squishy button and a surprisingly large battery!...

Work-in-progress edit, "terrible button"

Very early access this time, it's not done yet but I have the first few minutes from the next edit, 2021-02-22 16:08:38 +0000 UTC View Post

Another big editing project is ready for you! This one is mostly about a weird little pen, but there's plenty of Tuco as well :)

On YouTube now, and it's currently transcoding on diode zone a...

"Sewing Servo Mess", especially early access

I haven't decided if this is the final version of the audio or if it needs some beats. This one is going to be less impressive than the button video, but it was another work-in-progress edit that I...

New edit, early access: four buttons

Update: On diode zone now too, https://diode.zone/videos/watch/8ef9a577-a97f-412b-ae45-0687b...

Coding tunnel

Hi everyone, hope folks are staying warm this winter if it's cold where you are.

I've had my head down for a bit working on some new software projects.. I did a little bit of streaming about ...

I found myself writing code again

I'm still not a hundred percent sure why or if it's ever okay to build technology, but somehow I found myself engrossed in it again. Maybe I can ask for some help on where to go from her...

Rebuilding a foundation as the ground crumbles away

First of all, I want to say I hope you and your loved ones are doing as well as can be expected in these times. I want to give you all an update on how I'm doing personally and on my work, but I al...

New focus, new city, same cat

Hi everyone,

I really appreciate everyone who's been sticking with me through this year. I've been having a rough time with mental health for a lot of it. I've also been getting more and more...

Quick edit, perler bead shaker with a printer from 2010

Just a simple video made from some leftovers I had in the data fridge while cooking up a more involved video. Hope some of you enjoy, and perhaps it's a project we could resume in the future.

Pet video projects

Hi everyone, thanks for the support, I hope this video of Tuco brightens your Monday night (or Tuesday morning?)

Also on diode zone tho the 4K support there isn't as nice, 2019-05-07 03:23:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Doing things

I've been mostly just trying to make progress on ongoing projects... stream things, edit video, feed the cat. Lately I've been on some information technology sub-quests to support the shop, and I'v...

Tiny explainer thing

This is one of the videos I struggle with releasing the most. I feel like if the point is to make a short and pithy explanation, I'd be better off with a scripted format. So, that part of me scream...

Giving that inner critic a kick in the pants

Gotta stop being a perfectionist and get these videos out the door! Here's an unscripted bit of explanation about the video server side project. Available on youtube and diode zone:

Video stockpile, depression, friendly bugs

I've been stockpiling almost-finished projects lately because, well, mostly depression. I have this whole series of FPGA videos that I had convinced myself I need to edit and finish all at once. Bu...

New pets you can hang out with live

Hi there, kind patrons and internet friends! I hope the holidays have been treating you and your family well. I've been kind of a depressed hermit lately but there have been some nice times with fr...

Q&A stream tomorrow

Hi again, my wonderful patrons, just a quick note that I’ll be streaming tomorrow afternoon (Saturday) with the intent to make it mostly a question and answer session. This comes mostly from feeling...

Pineapple Slime Oscillator

Early access to the latest video edit! Sorry the access isn't as early as I usually try for, I plan for this to go out more widely later today.

I don't know if Patreon supports the embed, but this i...

Diode Zone is open for invitation

Hi Everyone! Just a quick note, the PeerTube-powered video site I’ve been setting up is finally open for invitation after a miniature roller coaster of network issues and a long transcode queue of s...

Because I needed another project? A home away from YouTube

I'll be writing more about this once it's less experimental, but I wanted to let my patrons know something new is in progress, if you hadn't seen it elsewhere.

I've been kinda excited about the pote...

Manufacturing Test Fixture for bike lights? Teardown and Quick Look

Another quick video, this time a cursory teardown of some manufacturing test jigs I picked up cheap at a local moving sale. Like the donation unboxings, consider this an introduction to an object we m...

Monster donation unboxing compilation

Okay, a few more boxes to open on film, sent in by many of you! I'm still trying to deal with my footage backlog, and I made things a bit harder for myself this week by rebuilding the windows install ...

Another early access edit, unboxing thing 1

Still trying to clear my footage backlog... I had been stockpiling this footage from doing live streamed unboxing of the new hardware donations that we'll be going into more deeply later, since I wasn...

Early access to another quick video: 3D printer hotend repair

Hello hello! Just another quick and possibly relaxing video on something I did around the shop recently.

(This is from the bin of footage that was mostly unboxings, but had a few other worthwhile ti...

Early access video quickie sticky printer

This is another pretty simple edit from today, as I go through old footage. There's a nice tasty pile of unboxing footage that I'm turning into a compilation video which should be fun, but this little...

Early access: Boldport Light to Sound kit

Hot off the editing press (right next to the drill press), another little vid that apparently results from half a stream's worth of filming plus... well most of this week on editing and b-roll. But no...
