Just a quickly made (but long) video about the Universe of Energy

Livestream on Saturday! 1:00P Central (19:00UTC)

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 ...

Renewable energy and political connections

Yeah that's not the YT title of course but... yeah.

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 Co...

Apparently it's been nearly five years since I made my video on humidifiers. That's wild. Here's a new one!

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...

2025's Christmas Light Video

Yep. It's that time of year again. Some say it's the most wonderful!

Livestream tomorrow at 3:00P CST / 21:00 UTC

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 befo...

Hi. Still November!

This video fulfills a promise I made to Gav and was also just... silly and fun. And those are good things!

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. A...

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.

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.

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!

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. Did...

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 2025-10-06 23:19:03 +0000 UTC View Post

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 se...

Behind the Scenes: Two repairs on the Cube

I took care of a couple small issues the Cube had and filmed the...

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 offic...

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.

Much of this was meant to be included in the first video on dehumidifie...

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.

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 ...
