Flashbulbs, flashcubes, and special guest!

In an instant, there was a flash of light:

Hello everyone, and happy new year!

As promised, here's a tour of the new place. I'm very excited!

Howdy Folks - A Holiday Update

Good tidings to you! People say that, right?

I'm plugging away at Pinball Part 2. I was hoping to have that done by, maybe, tomorrow? Last year I released the sound-on-film video on Christmas...

OK, it's time for more holiday light shenanigans

This time it was so low effort that I didn't even go through my old videos and A) forgot how long ago I did the transparent paint B) forgot I actually *did* put that set outside and C) forgot about...

Clap On Clap Off... The Clapper®

If you don't know what this, you should search for the commercials first. If you do, strap yourselves in! It's a silly trip down memory lane today as I explore The Clapper.

An update on the search for space

And it's a good one! A lease is signed and the space will be mine come January 1st.

There's still much for me to do - prep for moving, getting the proper insurance, setting up utilities and i...

NEN is go! And we're starting in reverse

Snowblower

Hey y'all,

While I was gathering some B-roll for the next main channel video, I decided to start the snowblower up for the first time of the season. I did this last year ostensibly to talk ab...

A video update and news I've been wanting to share

Unfortunately the news has been thrown a curveball - but in the grand scheme, everything is still really good! Just frustrating.

Behind The Scenes! I did some rotoscoping

I'm hoping you didn't notice the video trickery I did. What trickery you ask? Why, it's all in this here video in which I explain.

The pinball video is done!

Well, half of it anyway. Or maybe even just a third? I'm thinking an exploration of a more modern machine is worth a main channel video, too. But, uh, anyway...

Upside down power outlets - debunking a common assertion

It's time I finally address this discourse. It's come up a couple of times in previous videos mostly as an aside, but I've never take a position on it either way. Well, today I do!

An update video with a couple of video topics I'm floating

Hello all!

These last couple of week have been pretty slow-rolling for me, largely because I've been stuck on a script. I've moved around it and am working on something else, but I don't want...

A video on photocell light controls

Getting back to basics today with an exploration of a thing and how it works. And today's thing works very differently from how I expected!

Alright. A main channel video on NACS

Hello out there. It's been a while!

So... I've been going back and forth on whether I wanted to make this video. I had spent hours and hours on this script — revisions to pacing, removing u...

A video on the Phoebus cartel / light bulb conspiracy and why it's a stretch to call it a conspiracy

Oh boy.

So, one of you lovely lot suggested this video topic by way of asking a question - apparently I touched on this once in a video (can't remember which one, honestly!) and I called the ...

A video about a silly little fridge that spiraled out of control

Good evening,

Look. I don't know how we got here. But we did.

We used to put digital sound on videotape - and the history here is wild!

Hello!

Remember how I said that I thought I’d have the next video done by the end of May? Ha. Ha HA! HA HA HAAAHH ha ha.

Yeah, so this turned into a rabbit hole. I thought this would ...

I'm putting the finishing touches on a script I've loooong wanted to write. And tomorrow? It's go-time.

Stay tuned

Yeah, so this is just a Connextras thing.

It's a video! It's about contactors!

Hello! It's been a minute. Some of that has been because I've been a little preoccupied lately, and some of that is because a lot of behind-the-scenes prep work has been going on for — get this â...
