  • 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 couldn’t think of a specific song on that album, so I put it on for a listen. I wasn’t familiar with the hardcore/punk style on War and Keys to the Kingdom. Funny enough, I had tickets to see them on this tour because Rise Against was their supporting act, but the tour got cancelled because Chester got sick. The pairing didn’t make too much sense to me at the time, but now it makes more sense, even if it was at a time that Rise Against was losing a lot of their melodic hardcore background with Appeal to Reason. Collapse (Post-Amerika) still hit though.


  • I was just hitting middle school when Hybrid Theory came out. My mom wouldn’t let me buy it because of the repeated Shut Up lyrics in One Step Closer, but I loved the album and listened to it with my friends all the time. I didn’t feel like Meteora hit as hard, and I really lost interest after Minutes to Midnight. Listening to them now, I still don’t like much after the first few albums, but I’ve come around a bit to Meteora and honestly, Reanimation might be my favorite of the first three albums.


  • I worry some that therapy has gotten into an industry where more people are interested in making profit than providing quality of care which has made a market where therapy can serve as a kind of yes man market as well. I definitely don’t mean to belittle the benefit of therapy, but I know plenty of people who have shopped around therapists until they got one who said what they had already decided they wanted to hear as opposed to looking for a partner to work through specific issues with.
