Ugh - an update
Added 2020-06-14 22:48:47 +0000 UTCHi there!
It's been... too long since I've posted anything here. Recent events have really done a number on me, and I've had a number of false-starts getting back into the groove of doing things.
That's the ugh part.
Mainly I just want to check in with you all and let you know that A) Yes, Matheus, I'm alive and B) I'm back to a place of productivity. And I'm happy to be there!
My goal has always been three main channel videos per month and I think it's pretty clear that June won't meet that goal, and I'm sorry about that. Knowing how you tend to respond whenever I apologize for things like that, well here's my preemptive appreciation ;)
However, I'm planning something kind of different. I actually have one video completely written and am planning to shoot the talking head for it the same day as another that I'm working on now. Hopefully I finish that script tonight. The trouble is that both are long and fairly complicated. In particular the script for this second one. I'm hoping that I can sort of work on them both in parallel, and we'll see how that goes. An experiment, if you will! And I'm hoping this works out well. It might actually become something I want to do on the regular. I'm still learning the best ways for me to work.
For now though, thanks for your eyeballs and your support! I'll see you with a video soon ;)
-Alec

I want quality rather than quantity. Take your time. Still happy to spend $5 as it’s always worth the wait!

2020-06-20 02:24:48 +0000 UTCNew patreon! I found you recently and am excited for more. We often have you on our steady stream of YouTube videos which run throughout our day, every day. I’ve learned so much about the technology from my childhood - it’s still magical even when explained. Thanks for all you do, take care of yourself, can’t wait for whatever you produce next. :)
2020-06-18 05:57:52 +0000 UTCAppreciate all your hard work and enjoy the great content you put together. It’s a crazy time so be safe and take care.
2020-06-17 22:22:11 +0000 UTCBe kind to yourself.
2020-06-16 16:44:39 +0000 UTCAlways, always, always worth the wait for your work. And now more than ever, we should all forgive ourselves when productivity is low. Keep doing you, at whatever pace you can.

2020-06-15 19:56:23 +0000 UTCAnyone getting into the political realm, no matter where on the spectrum, is brave and courageous. I'm a coward by comparison. I just want to be everyone's friend and not talk about it.

2020-06-15 19:55:27 +0000 UTCa lot of "ugh" over here too. the world is ... rough ❤️

2020-06-15 19:49:56 +0000 UTCKeep up the good work! Quality is always better than quantity (unless you're the YouTube algorithm lol)
2020-06-15 18:17:30 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say we really appreciate your work and your style. And there are a lot more people out there who are not on Patreon who feel the same way. Thanks!

2020-06-15 17:46:01 +0000 UTCIf you don't come with a video soon I'll quit being your Patreon!!! 😈😈 Just kidding, relax, we'll see what's coming!

2020-06-15 16:31:33 +0000 UTCWell, if you want us to complain ... a museum I follow is closed so they don't have access to material/research, but now they release much more/longer content about mundane subjects like gasoline jerrycan and history of non-phyical objects. So please, you relax, I wouldn't be able to keep up anyway!

2020-06-15 16:11:56 +0000 UTCQuality over quantity. Love your videos. Thanks to you, I look at my cheap toaster with disdain and trying to find out if Sunbeam made a 220V version of their toaster.
2020-06-15 13:45:05 +0000 UTCWe have faith in you! To be able to live through the cold void that you left behind (ok, that's enough over-the-top dramatics), my wife and I watched more Sunbeam toaster videos :)
2020-06-15 13:29:03 +0000 UTCwe're here -- no rush. you keep doing you! be well man - cheers, Eric

2020-06-15 11:19:45 +0000 UTCI was actually surprised you are doing three videos a month, given the depth and breadth of the content, I’d say even two is enough. So, take your time, do your stuff and looking forward to the next one!
Miro Hudak
2020-06-15 09:05:40 +0000 UTCAlways quality content, always worth a wait. hence I am here giving you a small token of appreciation. Sending friends to your channel is far more explanatory and rewarding than me explaining the stuff is my technical way! Hope all has been well.

2020-06-15 07:48:46 +0000 UTCI was also wondering if you were alive, but not at the level of messaging yet. Don’t worry about us, we’ll watch you just sitting reading the phone book if you like. (With outtakes!)

2020-06-15 06:59:52 +0000 UTCAs long as it’s not another episode about CED, we’re cool. Actually, I’d still watch that.

2020-06-15 06:18:15 +0000 UTCHey, I love rewatching videos, so no worries.
Richard Stifle
2020-06-15 05:47:46 +0000 UTCAlec, I enjoy your content no matter how often you post. Really appreciate the conversations and messages that you've had on Twitter regarding Black Lives Matter, and even though there has been a lack of videos - you've been using your platform for good. Thanks for discussing hard topics, and I always look forward to whatever is in the pipeline.
2020-06-15 05:00:06 +0000 UTC"I really enjoy your descriptions of seemingly simple, everyday things" - I completely agree Eric. The man is a wordsmith. Even my wife, who does not care about tech will stop what she is doing to watch his videos with me because he makes her laugh.

2020-06-15 01:59:45 +0000 UTCI’m still working through the back catalog of your main channel and then have all of the extras. All I hear is you’re giving me a sporting chance to catch up someday!
2020-06-15 01:09:12 +0000 UTCNo worries! I am just excited to see the content coming out soon :p
Robert Butler
2020-06-15 01:05:19 +0000 UTCI support several channels through Patreon but, in full truth and honesty, your channels are my favorites. I really enjoy your descriptions of seemingly simple, everyday things that have hidden complexities and ingenious solutions to problems I never even thought about. The fact that we both live in the same metro area is just an added bonus knowing my dollars are helping things stay local. Keep up the excellent work, stay healthy, and know that we're all in these crazy times together on top of whatever else you're dealing with individually.
2020-06-15 00:08:14 +0000 UTCArt takes time. I'm willing to wait as long as possible until the next video. Meanwhile, I'm watching older ones again.

2020-06-14 23:47:32 +0000 UTCUgh, people and their constant struggle for basic human rights, amirite?

Matheus Bitencourt
2020-06-14 23:17:32 +0000 UTCYou be you, no be hasty. One be hasty can't do quality. Part of ytube quality be personality. So you be you, Alec. Something tells me you're started working on that Nissan Figaro 😃🤔 In the meantime, we can allways roll our eyes 👀 to keep ourself I personally will watch more Bippa Plays or Ann, from How To Cook That
2020-06-14 23:12:55 +0000 UTCIt's all good, Alec.
2020-06-14 23:10:41 +0000 UTCWho's Matheus?

2020-06-14 23:09:53 +0000 UTCIt's fine. Your happiness/comfort/health take priority over your subscribers watching videos :)
2020-06-14 23:06:42 +0000 UTCNo worries... Take your time, hurry up... ;-)
Richard Thompson
2020-06-14 22:55:32 +0000 UTCGlad to hear you’re doing alright. Can’t wait to see another video, but taking your time to sort out life is important too. Here’s looking forward to your humor and entertainment in education.

2020-06-14 22:54:20 +0000 UTCI believe that many of us need some time off sooner rather than later. Take your time and do things in your own time. We'll be waiting here all the same :)

2020-06-14 22:53:13 +0000 UTCIt's hard right now for a great many Alec. I empathize. But I'm glad you feel you can get back at it. You make awesome stuff and we appreciate your effort.
