Wow. Thank you.
OK so, um, hi to all the new people that are here now! Thank you so much for joining - you've boosted my spirits quite a lot!I really just wanted to say thank you. I have been thrown off track a lot lately because y'know reality seems to be breaking and I'm beyond relieved to see what I felt was a huge risk...
Renewable energy and political connections
Yeah that's not the YT title of course but... yeah.YT link: https://youtu.be/KtQ9nt2ZeGMThe 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 this tomor...
There's a lot going on.
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 piece I barfed out a ...
I made my humidifier slightly better
YT link:https://youtu.be/tCVsyY5TRQIApparently 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...
A teaser
A little progress update for you. I was hoping the next engine management video could be ready by Christmas, but it became clear that this wasn't possible late last week. So I turned a quick home improvement project into a video and hope to have that done tomorrow. The last few years I've made it a tradition to...
2025's Christmas Light Video
Yep. It's that time of year again. Some say it's the most wonderful!YT Link:https://youtu.be/oy7BrKNmZAQIf 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 wasn't...

Sorry for it being kind of a weird time but over the weekend we had a pretty huge snow storm and tomorrow is the only day I can make it work! It'll end up as a VOD after it's done but I hope you'll be able to join me.And this time I will put another Patreon post out ~an hour before it starts!https://youtube...
I made my car charger boil water real fast
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/INZybkX8tLII 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 I have no idea what ...
8-Track to cassette adapters - they worked shockingly well!
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, I went a little o...
Connextras video with all the cycles
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
I was right about dishwasher detergent - and now I can prove it
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_mPr9W8So, here's the thing: a lot of this video talks about a product I was involved (sorta) in creating. B...
Next livestream is tomorrow!
Howdy!I meant to schedule this yesterday to give you a little more warning but I was working on a demo which failed and it threw me off track. So apologies for only giving you a day's notice!https://www.youtube.com/live/Ks50-ngajA0It will start tomorrow at 4:00 PM Central time (that's 21:00 UTC). Hope to see yo...
Connextras videos and Last Chance for Socks!
Hi!I just wanted to leave everyone with a note/quick explanation of what's been going on outside of Patreon. I've made a few quick and dirty Connextras videos which have the main function of selling more socks subscriptions - and that's the main reason I haven't been posting them here. Didn't want t...
CRT Video Projectors: amazing, but fiddly, tech
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 the TV was ge...
Socks. Socks!
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, but I know lots of p...
Behind the Scenes: Two repairs on the Cube
Hello! This is a slightly secret tiered-access post for those who contribute at $5+. Thank you!Here's a YouTube link:https://youtu.be/elrhKhsJFt8I took care of a couple small issues the Cube had and filmed the process. Somewhat badly. I am not the best at this! But now the car is relatively trustworthy. Not that it...
Catalytic Converters: Early edit
Hello! The first video with the Cube is complete. Mostly. This is an early edit without the "ad read" for the socks - if you didn't catch that from the livestream, there will soon be TC merch via a collab with Good Store and the Awesome Socks Club! Those details are being finalized and will officially be an...
And here's the Connextras experiment
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/0xLzDF7PZW8I'm gonna do all the tidying up necessary (on this video and the other) before publishing in the morning.Toodles!
REMINDER: Livestream in one hour
Coming soon! Hope to see you.https://youtube.com/live/Igeok2SF-3w?feature=share
Rotary desiccant dehumidifiers. Neat, but flawed.
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-EysMuch 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 make its own. But I...
Livestream on Saturday at 1:00p Central (18:00 UTC)
Heads up! This is an edited post because I think the email didn't get sent out (Patreon screwed with settings with this latest update. argh)I'll be doing the next livestream on Saturday (which is now tomorrow). Here's a link.https://youtube.com/live/Igeok2SF-3wI'll post again shortly before it starts. K...
VHS-C: A lazy idea that's also perfect
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 happ...
