Help on a topic--Don't read this if you want to avoid spoilers

Hey hey everybody!

A Behind-The-Scenes Look at Posting Day

I've been meaning to make this for a long while now, and I finally had a good opportunity to do it. And it worked out to be a very good day! Not only has the video done well, but there was an inter...

DRYWALL

Wouldn't ya know it, things are progressing! And quickly!

It's looking more and more like the end of February will see the first video filmed at HQ. Nearly there!

The Story of the Disc in the SD Logo

The silliness got dialed up a bit for this one. Just a bit. You may recall that I mentioned this before in my video on DVD and how it pretty much ended Laserdisc, and now, here it is!

Disney parks related videos--ideas? Desires?

In the not-too-distant future I'll once again find myself in the depths of the Mouse Kingdom. This trip was way less planned than most, and I have my impulsive brother to thank for spurring this al...

Birty durners

I'm a sucker for spoonerisms.

An embarrassing thing

Yeah. It's dumb and bad.

So ever since I started this page, I'd occasionally get emails from Patreon telling me "New post by _username_". Now I could read these posts in the emails, and I did...

DVD-RAM

I somehow kept putting this video off, when it's been one I've wanted to make for a long time. DVD-RAM is a mysteriously underutilized format, mixing the storage capacity of an optical disc with th...

A Headquarters Update

This might be news to some of you--and if this is your first "Patreon update" video experience, be prepared for a lot of rambliness. I'm generally bad at this sort of thing. It may be best enjoyed ...

I made a little TC2 video

Good morning!

I made this thing. It's a thing about how I film CRTs. I put it on the second channel because it's kind of a mix between behind-the-scenes and a how-to, and since it's a very low-effor...

Slight change in plans ( plus PO Box! )

OK, an announcement with some history etc.

Last year as the holidays approached, I made a dumb video about my favorite kind of decorative holiday lights. In that video I complained about how most mu...

Requesting your input--is this idea good or crazy?

I've had this idea for a while now and I'm torn on whether to pursue it. First, THE THING I DIDN'T SAY HERE was that the shuttle wasn't working at O'Hare and that's why the test filming didn't work. I...

The Ubiquitous Sound That You May Have Never Noticed

CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, and all the rest
