Here you will find a variety of videos, mostly dealing with various technical subjects (though there will be a few excursions to unrelated subjects). This is a foray into an arena, where I just might be able to put some of my work experience (which continues to be ongoing) to some practical use.
I originally originally served as an Electronics Technician in the U.S. Coat Guard. I find it funny that when I went to work in the private sector, that people doing similar jobs were called engineers in the US, even though they had no engineering degree, and many had no practical experience to speak of.
While I do have a couple of college degrees in electronics and computers, I did not go to college out of high school. working instead for ten years before even thinking about college. I went while continuing to work. It seems a weird sentiment nowadays, working while attending college, and no student loans.
My videos are things I am interested in. But I am open to new suggestions.

Sunrise at 40,000 Feet, about an hour outside of Manila. One of the longest flights in the world (New York to Manila, 16 hours) is coming to an end.
Its good to be back at the homestead. Though a typhoon (Tino, also known as Kalmaegi,) is making a it a rather rainy homecoming. However it is south of us and will pass in a few days.
Giving myself about week to adjust to the timezone change (not as quick as when I was much younger).
Still need to finish unpacking, and then have a few projects to get started on once the weather clears up a bit.
Good to be back home again, as things in the U.S. are just crazy. How does the song go, "Ran away form Politics, its to bizarre at home" (Jimmy Buffett, far side of the World).

Counting down the hours before I fly. Not looking forward to the sixteen hour straight flight to get from New York to Manila. But it is better than stopping somewhere along the way. Once we are in the air, next stop Manila. Of course there is a two hour drive after that to get to the house.
I expect to start posting videos sometime around mid November. I just wanted to reach out and thank everyone for your patients during this busy time.

Greetings everyone! Archiving 500 followers is a pretty big mile stone. Not much for other You tubers, but since this is just my hobby, it is for me.
I have done several different types of videos over the last few years. Mostly computer related, but some gaming and even one cooking. I have been thinking about what types of videos to do in the future.
I am I am now curious what people viewing this channel are, or would be, interested in?
