Good one bruce.desertrat!Originally Posted by bruce.desertrat
When I read the “defective smartphone charging cases” I busted up and envisioned the old B/W video of the guy on the rocket bike with the LiPo's going off in a spectacular fashion and the guy grinning ear to ear wobbling down the country road. I could go on about all the hack of the build...but it's always amazing to me how many angels are hanging around taking care of those that push the envelope.
Tuomas, Congrats on your 7th Tool of the Week!So. Reason why i made this, even that it more likely gets less views or visibility, was that i want to make things way that i haven't seen before.
Sometimes it really pisses me, when i believe that i got whole new idea, and then notice that someone made something similar last week.
That's actually only "bad" thing in this forum, so many great ideas that its really difficult to make something that's not already been made.
Some of the things that I find interesting about your builds is: 1- using the tool itself plus your other mods or HMT's to build the mods or New tools is constant and adaptive (quite the loop). 2- the ingenuity of your builds using good design practices and forward thinking of its uses and possible future builds/uses. 3- perhaps most important is the joy of the builds I see in your videos. I could go on but have some reservations about being a fan-boy instead of someone that appreciates quality design, builds and having fun doing it, over cranking out crap to get views or lack luster one line comments about how cool that is.
I've been on YT a long time now and removed all my vids years ago because I didn't like where it was going, however there are only ~2 handfuls that I watch regularly, comment or thumbs up on out of 120 subs. The reason for this is I learn something or see something that triggers something I've been pondering or wrestling with and the Quality of the build and edutainment value I get from all the work people put into it. It's not about SEO's imho, they will come if the above is met. The ratio's of likes/dislikes, # of views, and # of Subs to the quality of comments is an interesting statistical conundrum to me, but is tell tale of the every changing times we live through...and is predictive even without the AI google uses to garner...something...but I digress.
I get it about thinking you had that idea first and it does piss me off sometimes too, especially when I go through my old notebooks looking for something and find this or that, that someone else brought to fruition...and got paid for it! @¿@ Either way they had the giddy-up to get it to some level, crap or not.
Yup, I hear you about HMT's and all the amazing ideas, builds, craftsmanship, brilliance, etc. here contributing, sharing skills, knowledge and ideas and yet just people/individuals marking their time, adding to the deep end of the pool.
It's a real PITA sometimes.
