Technology Connections

Or at least that's a pretty reasonable way to describe my thesis in one line. YT Link: https://youtu.be/I1rlK3BKmyA As often happens, I fell down quite the rabbit hole here. This video ended up becoming part 1 of two, as it got incredibly long. It turned out cutting it in half also fixed the narrati

…is the working title for the new video! https://youtu.be/0KoeY54M5VA (sorry for the double email folks, but silly ol' me forgot that) This is in many ways the video I’ve been wanting to make about cars. True gearheads will know all this, so the target audience is very general. But there’s a… certai

A late night update for you, I've got the follow-up video finished. YT link: https://youtu.be/fHPCS8j3cRM I'll have to defer working on captions until tomorrow. Also tomorrow, unless things take longer than anticipated, I'll be releasing both videos publicly. Note: a re-render was done for the main

Hello! It's been a minute. But I have a new video for you today! YT link: https://youtu.be/0tWToC4b6Jo This was supposed to be one of two videos for July and as you can see... things fell apart. The mix of frustration and the overall vibes of everything right now lead to a pretty bad case of burnout

You'd never believe a video on such a simple thing could go down such a rabbit hole, and neither did I when I started making this, but here we are. I really have no idea how this video will be received but it's a very fascinating story which led to a current reality which really kinda sucks. https:/

Hi! The calendar says June today and I was not prepared for that. Once again I've got a classic case of "this is a really simple video topic, it'll be quick!" being completely wrong. You wouldn't think the story of ceiling fans would be connected to so many issues of our time but my word is this nar

The embedded one up there is the Sights and Sounds video: https://youtu.be/AtaG0PQYeVQ But this link here is to the sillier "get over yourself, embrace the minivan" one. https://youtu.be/oEruzTKteRE Rough captions are in place for both. I will be busy all day tomorrow and probably can't fix captions

THE YOUTUBE VERSION HAS BEEN REPLACED! With a possibly (?) better explanation on MG1/MG2 and a fixed typo on the metric conversion. https://youtu.be/KnUFH5GX_fI As I wrote in the replies here, while I'd have loved to have some animations even with a full-on demo rig like Engineering Explained recent

Howdy! Bit of an esoteric video this time - one that's been long in the making but I was struggling to make gel into a script. In the end I decided to be OK with what this really is: commentary with a bit of "here's some neat stuff!" mixed in. https://youtu.be/nXdVG45wveo I'm making a nuanced argume

Hello again. https://youtu.be/ebGLFVzvdfM I've been sitting on this footage for a while and finally got around to putting it together. You'll notice I haven't released the video I just made yet - I might re-shoot that. I really didn't have my thoughts that well-organized but I'm glad to get some of

Yeah so given the whole "situation" I figured it would be good to make something for people who might be looking into EVs for the first time. So I threw this together on Connextras. It's also testing a few concepts for a policy-focused video I might make (or at least arguments I might shove into pla

Yep! The second (but also kind of the first) video on engine management is now complete and here it is for youuuu! UPDATED YT Link! I added an explanatory section about the bearings and my terminology shenanigans. Captions are in place but they still need polishing. They'll get progressively better

Hello hello, UPDATE: The YouTube version just got replaced. In addition to finishing up the captions, I included a lot of old B-roll I had gathered from before the recent EPCOT changes. I haven't talked at all about my history with the Disney parks in a long time (for those that don't know I was a c

Yeah that's not the YT title of course but... yeah. YT link: https://youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGM The unlisted version which ends at the fake-out doesn't exist yet. I'm gonna do captions this time in Premiere which is annoying and fiddly but will make that an easy job for the 2nd version. I hope to release

Hello everyone, Long time no post. It has been a rough couple of weeks for a long list of reasons. In the wake of Renee Nicole Good’s murder I decided to change gears and start putting my energy into a script which I hope can break some people out of the trance we appear to be in. That Connextras pi

YT link: https://youtu.be/tCVsyY5TRQI Apparently it's been nearly five years since I made my video on humidifiers. That's wild. Here's a new one! I've been living with this for several years and putting up with its quirks. The issues/concerns I've had with it is part of why I've not made a video on

Yep. It's that time of year again. Some say it's the most wonderful! YT Link: https://youtu.be/oy7BrKNmZAQ If this one seems rushed and not very well thought-out, hoo boy is that exactly what happened! I was teeter-tottering on whether I'd even do one this year, and with how busy I was in November I

Hi. Still November! This video fulfills a promise I made to Gav and was also just... silly and fun. And those are good things! YT link: https://youtu.be/INZybkX8tLI I may try to make this a Thanksgiving release, so I'll be working on captions right after I post this. But I will be busy tomorrow and

Howdy howdy! Today I'm bringing you a video on one of my favorite things: an adapter which actually allows you to play a media format in a machine which plays an entirely different format. I learned about these things probably back in high school and filed them away for a throwaway video. As usual,

Hi all, I forgot to post this for you. I don't think there's too much of a point uploading this directly to Patreon, but if you'd like to spend another almost-hour watching a dishwasher well you can check it out if you dare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnBb3DLlVPw

Hello! No Effort November will be kicking off with the culmination of a project that has been months in the making - making an excellent joke, if I do say so myself. YT Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAX2_mPr9W8 So, here's the thing: a lot of this video talks about a product I was involved (s

Helloooo! UPDATE: YouTube link replaced with new version where a lowpass filter was added to remove the CRT whine from 7:06 to 9:04. I'd appreciate your feedback to see if it's effective - I cannot hear anything in the recording which either means the day has finally come for me or... I think since

Helloooo! It is with great pleasure that I can unveil the Technology Connections collaboration with the Awesome Socks Club and Good Store. For those not familiar, Good Store is a project of Hank and John Green where goods are sold to raise money for charity. I have never really wanted to sell merch,

Yeah, just a little thing I thought to test based on a theory which was not correct. As per the new usual, you can watch it here or on YT at the link below. https://youtu.be/0xLzDF7PZW8 I'm gonna do all the tidying up necessary (on this video and the other) before publishing in the morning. Toodles!

Hello! The next main channel video is ready. You can watch it here on Patreon or on YouTube through the link below: https://youtu.be/JzClLWL-Eys Much of this was meant to be included in the first video on dehumidifiers, but that one ballooned out of control and I felt this was interesting enough to

Hello! I have a new video for you today. And with this Patreon post, I'm trying something new (by request). As always, you'll find a direct link to the video on YouTube below. But I am also uploading the video directly to Patreon so those of you who'd rather not use YouTube have that option. I'd be
