This video is much silly. Lots honking. No effort!

And als...

This is the only time in my memory where we've had snow on Halloween! Usually the first snow is insignificant, and well into November. Not this year! Now, I certainly ha...

I love this clip. So much. It exudes... such confidence.
This intro bumper replaced the original one roughly a year after the CED system was released, so most RCA-produced discs (well, they were all RCA-produced, but those which were *officially* RCA-produced what with their brand on there and all) from 1982 on...

I had these thoughts recently, and while I am fairly confident that bigger batteries are the right direction, I've also begun to wonder if perhaps an improved Volt would actually reduce emissions faster because we could conceivably build more of them sooner, and not have people worrying about range anxiety. It also provides a...

Well, this sure is a... video. With a lot of... things in it.
Yeah, I'm more than a little nervous about this video because it is way more speculative than any I've ever made. And also there's a lot of silliness in the beginning. But! Hopefully it's fun enough to be worthwhile.
I still have to do all the YouTube s...

When I came up with the idea for this video, I wanted it to be more about what I tease at the end (exploring why TOSLINK is pretty much the only time fiber optics got any traction in the consumer space) but, of course, there's just so much to talk about in the first place that I'll be addressing that next!
Good [time-zone appropriate salutation]!
I threw this follow-up video together to address some of the hair splitting and nonsensical suggestions from the last video, as well as to explore some of the actual downsides of the new capture method I've stumbled upon.
I figured I share something that I've been holding onto for a few years.

That thumbnail's a little edgy. But it's not only true from an argumentative perspective, but also from a literal perspective, so it's kinda pun-like so I'm obviously very proud.

I almost forgot about this... I got carried away doing some chores and forgot this was uploading. Somehow it's still not processed past 360p, so this doesn't look great right now, but hopefully it looks better soon.
Once it's at 1080p or better, I'll make this public.

You've convinced me to re-organize the video's concept. In fact, now that I think about it, my initial concept would have been quite a boring first video.
I still regret not having more anecdotal experience, but you're right. I'll play off of that.
Thanks for improving my...
