MAIN CHANNEL VIDEO!
I build the best ZX81 and put it in an amazing case. AND THEN! I gave it a mechanical keyboard that looks simply stunning!
I'm a bit excited to share this one with you.

Yeah. That's the good stuff.
I love the care and attention that went into that bodge. Real craftsmanship

Saw these books in a charity shop and thought of @morefunmakingit.bsky.social I bought the Spectrum book for my collection.
A book on making YouTube videos, and a Spectrum Handbook next to each other in a charity shop.

Haha! That's a great find! I wonder what nuggets of wisdom are in the YouTube manual.

VideoBeast and the 'universal' host board that plugs into the ZX Spectrum, RC2014 and MicroBeast. The next job is checking the SD Card interface works, then there will hopefully be a second revision of both host and video interface to send out to devs.

848x480 pixels on a Spectrum!? Of course!
The VideoBeast graphics 'chip' and a host interface for Spectrum, RC2014 and MicroBeast computers.

The way I look at it most people that like intros wouldn't miss them, but those that don't like them would always be annoyed by them.
Opening is so important. @adriansdigitalbasement.com does a cold open and then the intro. That's a good way to keep the brand feeling

Been think about this all morning. Collectively, do we like YouTuber title sequences? Or do we prefer jumping straight in?

Personally, I feel it frames a video more like an 'episode', but maybe I'm still conditioned for traditional TV due to my age.

It might be a waste of your time mate. I quite like a cold opening. And the first 30 seconds of a video are super important. You might notice people using intros less and less
