Some good news. The definitive piece on the fall of Twitter and the resilience of networks of people talking to each other has been written now.

Hey,
just to the wishlist-idea:
I think if Michael could add .. say ten items to the wishlist and then Ryan would add ten more, the "unboxing-stream" could get really funny:
Michael wouldn't know in advance if there is an actual wish in the box or some weird item Ryan has added to the list.
Listeners who contribute (maybe I would) also can only guess if they buy an actual wish or Ryans stuff...

in reply to blitzcitydiy • • •I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering Student. Just my first year of university. What we do here is very similar to what you do. It would be really helpful to people like me if you make videos about the basics of these things and basics of all these boards, electronic components, Circuits, and stuff since not many people have good foundation.
What you are doing is really great and thankyou!
