All of the footage we recorded (ok, well most) lightly edited for your viewing pleasure. There's outtakes. There's behind-the-scenes magic. There's banter. And mo...

Hello everybody! I've got a video for you. Warning: there is some mild (but I think fair) Tesla angst in it, although recent news threw that for a loop!

Good evendaymorningtime!
Today we're visiting photography again, and with the help of one of your compatriots, I have a really neat thing to show you. Color photos from potatoes!

I've been working on a script which is getting quite long and I'm wondering if you think it makes sense to split this up. We are revisiting the heat pump because I'm not happy with where I left things the last time I tackled it as a topic, and they're suddenly very important.

And I'll also write some things.
That's the new version of the Starlink antenna. Here at HQ I have a flat roof, which has finally come in a bit of handy. I have to secure the wire at some point but I'm putting this firmly in "good enough" as far as how it's installed. I very much doubt it w...

Hi. I have some news - it's actually all good! But it makes the next month very complicated and so I've decided to take some real time off and will be pausing the upcoming Patreon billing cycle. You can hear all about why in this video filled with "um, buts" and "but, ums"
We’re really making some grand openings for 2022 with this one:
Here we have a simpler, sillier video to start the new year. Someone recommended I tackle this topic but as I said that w...

Hello and Merry Christmas! I've brought for you the beginnings of the year-end Connextrasvaganza. It's the first of five videos (you'll get another one in just a few minutes) that I've hastily put together to close out the year.
These are some fresh prints.
This one took... a lot. But I'm pretty happy with it! I hope you like it. I've been wanting to share this particular part of the process for a long, long time...

It's been a long, long, long, long while since I made one of these. Oopsie! But this one presented too good of an opportunity as I needed a lot of test footage before I committed to how I would write this.

Let's be honest, there was no way this was ever going to truly be a No Effort November video, but hey - it's enshrined as a thing now so... gotta keep it up. Also, that YouTube-generated thumbnail face... Oof.

Here's a very slightly spoilery photo for you (daguerreotypes aren't really the subject - photography itself is). I noticed while setting up this shot how just the small change in angle from the camera to my eyes caused the image to appear normal to my eyes but inverted on the screen.

Hi!
I have a video just for you. I very nearly made a video about this camera, but haven't decided how I want to first introduce the subject of analog photography. Should we go before the days of film and get into the really obscure stuff like... camera obscura (see what I did there?)...
