Phone it in Friday LII: YouTube Roundup VIII

My YouTube channel continues to grow, albeit a bit more slowly.  At the time of writing, I have seventy-seven (77) subscribers.

Regardless of the rate of growth, I am having a blast with the format.  There’s still so much I need to learn, but it’s fun putting these videos together.  It’s also been a great outlet for my composing, and I’ve gotten into something of a schedule:  LEGO- and LEGO-adjacent build videos on Mondays, and compositions on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

I have three good ones this week, featuring Moses, Napoleon, and steampunk.

Phone it in Friday LI: YouTube Roundup VII

My YouTube channel is growing nicely.  At the time of writing, I have seventy-four (74) subscribers.  I’d love to see that reach 100 in the next few weeks, so if you haven’t already, mash subscribe.

The arcade cabinet video I featured in the sixth installment of YouTube Roundup has over 1200 views at the time of writing—absolutely astonishing!  If you missed it, you can watch it below:

This week I’ve got a Nativity scene; some scribblings; and an eerie clarinet and celesta duet.

Lazy Sunday CXXXVI: YouTube Roundup Roundup I

I have a YouTube channel.  It’s hard to gauge these things, but it seems to be doing well.  My subscriber count has risen from around thirty last summer to—at the time of writing—fifty-six.  By the time you read this post, I’ll have close to 100 videos.  I’m not sure how many views I’ve garnered, but it’s decent for a tiny channel like mine.

So, in the spirit of promoting my channel and being lazy, here’s the first three installments of YouTube Roundup at your fingertips:

Happy Sunday—and Happy Listening/Viewing!

Phone it in Friday XLVIII: YouTube Roundup IV

Shockingly, I haven’t done an installment of YouTube Roundup since August 2023.  Since then, I’ve uploaded a ton of content, so it’s time to catch up on some videos.

I’ve selected three videos for this YouTube Roundup, all of a different type.  There’s a piece of music; a toy construction video; and something completely frivolous and fun:

Before we get to the videos, though, you should definitely subscribe to my YouTube channel.  I know for many readers, “subscribe” is a dirty word—God forbid we support our favorite content creators!—but trust me, it’s totally free to subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Open Mic Adventures LX: “Silent Night”

We’re getting into the cozy part of the Christmas season, with plenty of cold nights spent bundled up by the light of the Christmas tree, sipping hot chocolate and wearing sweaters.  It’s the hygge, and yours portly couldn’t be happier.

Naturally, all this cozy Christmas cheer gets me thinking about Christmas carols, and few carols capture the quiet peace of Christmas quite like “Silent Night.”

LEGO® Star Wars™ 2023 Advent Calendar Part I: Days 1-8

For the past couple of years or so I’ve been treating myself to a LEGO® Star Wars™ Advent Calendar.  I enjoy the ritual of building each day’s tiny set, and it’s cool getting some unique builds and minifigs (the name of the little LEGO® people).

I seem to recall the calendars being around $20 on sale.  This year, the full-price MSRP was something like $46, which is outrageous, but I got mine on sale for about $33. That’s honestly not terrible for a LEGO® set, which is essentially what this calendar is.

Of course, yours portly never lets anything go to waste, and I’ve turned my calendar into an opportunity to churn out YouTube content.  As such, I thought I’d catch everyone up on the first eight days of Advent calendar fun.
