Patron exclusive: Color Classic

I picked up a couple of neat things and decided to make a video about them in time for christmas! Wait, uh, oops

I shot this like a week ago, then uhhhhhh things happened. I did not expect to write, shoot and release a public video in time for Christmas but that kinda took priority...

Video: An MP3 Jukebox For Everyone (Including the RIAA)

Hey everyone! I know it's late, and I'll be releasing this publicly in the morning so it won't be much of an early access, but phew - it has been nearly a...

Patron exclusive: Commodore 128 mail call

Haven't done a mail call video in a while, but I got a Commodore 128 from a viewer the other day and figured you all might like to hear a little bit about it, since (IME, at least) it's one of the less-covered 8-bit machines. This video is kinda rough if you ask me because I shot it at home with ...

Patron video: Steadicam setup & demo

Hello, new patrons! Since there's quite a few new subscribers after the last exclusive, it made me think that now would be a good time to try to get back to making more of the same.

I'm in the studio quite a bit, doing stuff - some of it's interesting, but I don't record most of it...

Patron exclusive: California Travelogue 2022

Hello everyone! Thank you for taking the time to watch my dreary vacation footage! But more importantly, thank you all for supporting me. Let me take a moment to talk about that.

Sad news (public)

Not sure why I felt like I shouldn't post this earlier since I figure people would want to know. My cat, Gibbs, who was sort of a mascot to some viewers, is no longer with us. He got very sick, very rapidly, and we were told there was nothing we could really do other than euthanasia. I was extrem...

Premiering new video

Hey everyone - if you're watching my new video on the Vaio, or planned to, you may have just been interrupted. Sorry, Youtube is bad.

I planned to release it as a Premiere, but forgot that there's no "backdoor" link, so once I enable that about five minutes from now, it becomes "private" un...

Bonus video: Nostalgia

Back in March 2021 I shot this entire video about how video mixers work, demonstrated on a specific model I have, then trashed the whole project because I didn't have the space and hardware to do it right (and I still don't) but I found the rough cut on a spare drive today and was astonished at j...
