A tour of the new Headquarters

Well, the important bits anyway (and with a really unsteady camera--handheld work is not my forte).  

Seriously, thank you one and all for making this possible.  There's a good deal of wor...

New video! The Sony Tracking System

This ended up getting split in two (with a sort-of bonus video to come soon, but that will go live for everyone tomorrow) and is definitely my silliest video yet.  And you will very quickly see w...

A space has been secured!

Great news!  After some doubts that the deal would fall through, I can presently say that I am now in possession of a completely blank canvas of a space, and am working on getting the new space r...

New Video! The LED Printer

I've been working on some significant behind-the-scenes stuff lately (which inadvertently caused the injury to my right hand you might spot).  While it's all good and for the channel, it's defini...

SUPER Early Access: A Tale of 2 CD players

First of all, that ^^ is the auto-generated thumbnail and it's perfect.  I love it.

This video will be a supplement to the upcoming video, so it sort of contains mild spoilers (but about v...

UNCONTAINED EXCITEMENT (a thank you!)

Wow.  Wow wow wow wow wow.  (and flutter!)

CD Players: Dissected

Well, here it be!  Delayed one day due to a lack of motivation yesterday, but now it's up.  It's still processing so as of this writing it's a little blurry.

Captions are coming soon. &nbs...

Next video coming soon--but there are headaches

I backed myself into a corner here, I'm afraid.  Things in this edit are far more tedious than usual.  Don't you just hate it when you envision a thing as simple, but then when you go to do ...

The Compact Disc: An Introduction

Up real late to post this, so the busywork portion will have to wait.

Let me know what you think of the end.  The song, "Floaters" has been used many times by me because it's what I would descr...

Setception

I'm currently shooting B-Roll, so I have both my desktop and laptop casting to the displays, and I forgot I had Premiere up so this happened.

Just throwing this out there...

In my last behind the scenes video, I had forgotten to turn off monetization at first.  For stuff that only Patrons can see, I try to turn off ads since there's no reason to keep them on there. View Post

New Video! The GFCI/RCD

Taking a brief interruption from digital sound to bring you this.  From a Twitter poll, apparently more than half of "people" don't know what these do and why they're important.  I've always...

Behind the Scenes! A look at the making of my latest video

Making something like this has been long overdue.  Hopefully you find it enjoyable--fair warning, it's on the longer side!

New Video! Nyquist-Shannon (digital sound part 2)

Thanks for your patience these last weeks as I worked through some deadlines.  Enjoy the continuation of the Digital Sound subject!  Please tell me if there's something I explained weirdly. ...

Unplugging until Friday 8/3

Hello everyone,

Although I sort of alluded to this with my last video post, I wanted to just put this here so that you're in the loop.

Due to some non-YouTube projects I have coming due, I'll ...

New video! The rise of Digital Sound

Remember how I started this channel and never finished the story arc of sound reproduction?  Time to fix that.

As a note of future concern: you may have noticed that my upload "schedule" has be...

Behind the scenes! An air conditioning adventure

No, this isn't about my planned video on Air Conditioning, though the purchase here will be a very helpful aid for when it comes time to make that one!

This is just a video about a thing that you he...

New Video! The Senseless Ambiguity of American Turn Signals

This video came together well EXCEPT for the audio, which really wasn't great.  Boo.  That's why I am continuing to to experiments on sound equipment.  But for now, I hope you enjoy thi...

Thank you

A little something came in the mail, and I have YOU to thank for it.  Without the support of amazing people like yourself, I am certain this would never have arrived on my doorstep.

New Video! Betamovie

This was one of the most fun videos I've made.  You'll probably notice a new toy in use throughout for B-roll.  And I spent a lot of time keyframing for some animations that I hope help illu...

And it's up

This was hashed out quickly, so it's mostly a talking head.  That said, I think it's important.

I'm about to make an unplanned video

So, Jason of Engineering Explained released a video today about EVs and the future of transportation, and he made a point about charging infrastructure that is commonly made but is fundamentally false...

New Video! The Stretching Rooms of the Haunted Mansion

Well, I might as well have made something out of the trip to CA!  I'm not sure how widely known this fact is outside of Disney enthusiasts.  I'm hoping you find it fascinating!

A TC 2 video (going live now)

I made a quick thing for the second channel.  This is really just a ramble about autofocus and nighttime, as well as a little bit of trivia regarding Chicago airports.

New Video! The conclusion to the HPS lamp

There was a lot more to unpack from this topic than I realized, and it actually changed my mind regarding the use of LEDs in roadway lights.  I had originally thought that sodium lighting was goo...

Update (as I plan poorly apparently)

So, if you aren't a Twitter person, you may not know that I just got back from a short jaunt to California.  My mom and I flew out in a moment of serendipity as we were able to meet my brother fo...

New Video! The High Pressure Sodium Light

Well now, here it is!  I have a fondness for this sort of lighting, mostly because of its method of operation which is nuanced and fascinating.  This video explores it a little bit, and in m...

Early Access for All Going Forward!

I've decided to make a change to the reward tiers and give everyone early access to my videos.  The more people who have access to them before they go public, the better I can gauge how the video...

Pioneer LD-W1 eBay Mishap

The audio is really bad in this video.  I used my old phone for this which has a better video camera but apparently the sound is messed up.

Early for All! The Chevy Bolt summer range test
