It’s hard to put into words how much I value your videos. It’s energizing to “engage with you” in exploring all these different topics and learning so much in the process. Thank you.
This channel is an oasis of super high quality content with obvious in depth knowledge on the subjects and the ability to present and explain complex stuff so that it is easy to understand. Besst part, i have a year's worth of content to enjoy :)
Thank you! I'm generally a pretty positive guy (despite some of my critical commentary in certain videos 😁)... but I'm definitely very grateful everyone that takes the time to watch and listen to what I have to say!
Love the content you have been releasing. 100% agree that the technology you are covering is still understandable by a single human and gives a really good base for people who want to learn more.
Thank you! When I was at VCF East last week, the subject of “understandable by a single person” came up in several of my discussions with folks. I love how the technology we enjoy today builds on the shoulders of the past, and having that past technology around to poke and examine can lead to a better understanding of today’s tech.
I just found your channel recently and have found them to be interesting, insightful, educational...basically everything I look for. Great work and please keep it up!
I don't comment much I just want to say that when I found your channel I watched through all of your videos pretty rapidly. You have a wonderful air and delivery, are very knowledgeable, and just a joy to watch and listen to. You've quickly become one of my favorites in this sort of "genre" of RUclips. I even used your video to help me put together my own MT32-Pi! I more than look forward to the future of your channel.
Thank you! I appreciate folks like yourself in the MiSTer and FPGA community ... it makes it a real joy to produce content when great discussions take place without bias or an agenda
@@whatskenmaking I love all the topics you present. Some are above my skill set or understanding but I appreciate the learning opportunities. I also liked your comment about today’s engineers not fully understanding the a to z of tech. Building on the older stuff is essential but understanding is critical too
incredibly happy you're making videos. It's so refreshing to have someone talk about the topics you do with your expertise. For as long as you're enjoying it, please continue making them
Love the content you put on the channel. It's refreshing to find people like you that make videos just because they like the topic and want to share with others.
I also enjoy your videos a lot! They are well presented, have deep knowledge and cover a topic isn't very well covered on RUclips. Therefore I am really looking forward to your new content. Especially the thought on covering the topics in more detail is highly appreciated!
I appreciate that! I realized a couple of years ago that many of us that are 'tech minded' really want deeper information when I examined my own habits and realized that I whenever I was learning a new skill, I'd always skip the 'beginner' books and go straight for the 'advanced' ones. I'm hoping some of the more in-depth content I put together is helpful and resonates with folks!
Sound like a great idea! Really love your deep dives and hope you continue growing the channel. Also great to hear you can do this financially healthy as well. Super important
@@whatskenmaking great memory! I do have a MiSTer now and the hat you made me works great. I can get most games working on it, but occasionally have struggles with games like Monkey Island. Odd. I haven't done lots of trouble shooting yet, but I think it's user error 😁
Can someone help me reconcile why this channel has such great looking videos and such a neat looking workshop/set ... but it's just a hobby and it's only been going for a year? I love the channel - I just feel like I've missed some background information, here on how everything about this channel is already so awesome :)
Thank you!!! Just like any skill - the more you do it, the better you get. If you compare one of my more recent videos with my earlier ones, you can definitely see the difference! Regarding the workshop - it got built up over time, as I've acquired tools and equipment as I've needed them. Most of the furniture you see in the videos are pieces I've built myself - I do some woodworking as well, though I'm nowhere near as skilled there (and it's more difficult to film), so I haven't done any video content around woodworking (yet). I do have a project that I think I'll do a little bit of that in, but we'll have to wait until later this summer to see how that works out 😉
I'm not sure how I found your channel (obviously YT recommended it to me, but I don't remember when). Your videos are so great, both in terms of subject matter as well as production values, that I just assumed you had been around YT for years and were probably around 200k subscribers. Anyways, CG on your first year on YT! I love your content and I'm sure your channel will continue to grow at a great pace!
Just stumble to your content regarding to Famicom design, thats a well made video... There will be mamy years agead on youtube for this channel for sure
Congrats for your first year! 🎉 I'm really glad that I've discovered your channel. You always make high quality videos. I've learnt a lot from you. I hope you'll keep posting videos! It would be good to know "Who is Ken?" too! For example I just wondered what is your primary job?
🎉 Thank you - it certainly has been a great first year! I like to try to keep the videos more about the technology than about myself, but I don't mind answering personal questions when they come up. I work in cybersecurity for my 'day job' and actually have been thinking about what it would look like to integrate some of that content into my videos. For example, I've been playing with the Flipper Zero for past few months, which almost sort of bridges the gap between the security analyst and maker worlds. I'm open to suggestions on that!
I think it would be tons of fun to do something on the radio... though my voice is really only 'radio quality' in the morning within the first hour of waking up... or after lots of audio post-processing 😆
@@whatskenmaking this is my first time getting a Raspberry Pi! I'm slowly getting to grips with it and I like how I can pop in a different SD card to do different things. I've got two SD cards with different operating systems and another one with Batocera. Lately though, I'm very interested in the Argon NEO 5 M.2 NVME PCIE Case for Raspberry Pi 5 as I want to see how much 'snappier' it really is using my spare 256GB SSD M.2 😬

"What's Ken making"? Great videos of course

A very good year in review, thank you for the video!
🙏 Thank you, it's been a great year!

Could I love this man more? I didn't think I could until this video. Here's to another year and hoping to crack 50K subs this year!
🎉 Thanks Mike! I hope you were able to get that MiSTer to enjoy the MT32-Pi with!

@@whatskenmaking Wow thats so cool! I'd definetely want to see some cybersecurity content...
If you go to retirement you should hire at the local radio to part-time work as a moderator. you have a very suitable voice for that.
I think it would be tons of fun to do something on the radio... though my voice is really only 'radio quality' in the morning within the first hour of waking up... or after lots of audio post-processing 😆
Congrats on your 1st year on RUclips! 👍
Keep up the great work that you're doing!
Will you be covering the Raspberry Pi 5 at all in the near future? 🙏
Thanks Phil! I do have an emulator project that I was thinking about using a Pi5 in... were you thinking of something specific, like a Pi5 deep dive?
@@whatskenmaking this is my first time getting a Raspberry Pi! I'm slowly getting to grips with it and I like how I can pop in a different SD card to do different things.

this channel should have been named "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?"
Ha! Nice one 😆
