I have this thing that I do where I get a book narration from Audible and the same book in ebook format for my Kindle, then I playback the narration at two or three times speed while I read along with the ebook in my browser window. So basically I listen to the book and read it at the same time at high speed. And what I wanted was a term I could use to describe this activity, which is something I have been doing for quite a while now. So, naturally, I asked ChatGPT and of all the suggestions it came up with I liked “DualStream” the most. Thus, hence forth, I will refer to this activity as dualstreaming.

I’m just about to kickoff with more note taking for my Learning the Art of Electronics project. Am aiming to have the video for the first lab ready for Tuesday.
Excel and VBA reading
I’m doing some Excel VBA work for $dayjob and got a few books to brush up on the tech involved:

In this video I make excuses for why you haven’t had a video from me for two weeks. Excuses, excuses.
It is still my ambition to release three videos per week, on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
As I mention in the video I have been working away on the Learning the Art of Electronics project and making notes for all five of the referenced books but I still have a heap more work to do. Further, I’ve been working through the first edition of Learning the Art of Electronics because my second edition hasn’t arrived yet. So today I bit the bullet and canceled my order of the second edition from Amazon AU (I’ve been waiting since January) and placed a new order with Amazon US so my second edition should now be arriving by May 24, later this week.
I have ordered some bits and pieces for my Logitech BRIO web cam including this stand, so I should be able to start making maths videos on my channel soon. But it will be very basic high school maths. If you want more serious maths I would be happy to recommend my friend who makes advanced maths videos on his channel Learning as a hobby.
Speaking of my mate on the Learning as a hobby channel he recently scored a copy of the CDROM that comes with Principles of Electronic Circuits 2ed and is making preparations to send me a copy (either as an ISO or in the snail mail), so standby for more on that. This is a super exciting development because I had concluded that finding a copy of this CDROM was going to be impossible, but here it is!
The long projects that I’m working on which are presently brewing include:
- Silicon Chip and Jaycar Mini Project JMP003
- Demo of EEVblog BM2257 multimeter
- Old book teardown of Electric Circuits
- Project #1 from Maxitronix 30in1
- Lab #1 from Learning the Art of Electronics
I have made a start on all of the above but it’s going to take me some time to finish them all. In the mean time I am going to try to get some smaller projects done so that I can hit my target of three videos per week.
And that brings you up to date with news from the channel.
