Is Nebula good? Every time I watch Practical Engineering, I’m tempted to get it.

I do enjoy Cody’s Lab from time to time. I’ll have to check out This old Tony.

Stuff Made Here - blows my mind with each new video. I can’t even imagine being able to dream up his creations let alone design and create them.

Technology Connections - you didn’t know you were going to love learning about dishwashers and other appliances, but you are.

Foureyes Furniture - interesting custom furniture design and build sequences with very good editing and voiceover.

Marling Baits - Custom fishing lures that vary from lifelike (using real fish skin) to absurd (a lightsaber) to ultra absurd (a block of wood).

Project Farm - head to head comparisons of common tools or other household projects. Very no nonsense and a ton of information packed in quick.

Inheritance Machining - a man documenting rediscovering his passion for machining after inheriting his grandfather’s machine shop. Excellent narrative scriptwriting, recurring video elements, buttery smooth voiceover, and oddly satisfying machining footage.

I want to be a digital organizer, but I’m also a folder nesting whore and things get out of sight out of mind to easily. I find my daily tasks and todos are much more effective if I write them down in a small notebook that I always keep in my bag.

If he can play a stapler, he can be a pregnant Asian woman too!

I bought a 25 foot leash when training my dog. I’ll never catch him if he doesn’t want me to, but I can get within 25 feet of him.

In the Midwest, we sometimes measure distance in number of songs.

When I first played Mass Effect I thought it was silly that I could give Shepard a first name that would never be used, so I tried to come up with the absolute dumbest first name I could think of. Turns out BanjoShepard is available on practically every platform, so it became my internet persona.

Don’t let Randy Johnson get any apples.

The pictures are correct, but they don’t show how traffic can back up for miles before the merge point with everybody sitting in just one lane, and some guy who has taken it upon himself to police everyone else’s “manners” swerving to block anyone who dares to the the open lane and “cut in line.”

Unfortunately, a corn stalk can only get you so far.

Even beyond that, I think this sentiment is easy to get into from the comfort of climate controlled, weatherproof structures, with abundant food that doesn’t require months of forethought and planning to farm or energy expenditure to hunt or gather. I’d love to chuck up materialism and peer pressure, but I’m firmly attached to the various infrastructures that make my life so comfortable.

Yeah this is the scariest point in all of my projects.

I’ll add “The Great Automatic Grammatizator.” It’s my favorite by far, but I like all of the stories in “The Umbrella Man and other stories.”
