now I don't really do vlogs very often but this one's pretty important there's
0:04
two incredibly awesome announcements two
0:07
not four not zero but two uh number one
0:11
is the finished state of the tech quy
0:16
channel so this is a second well second third fourth I don't know however many
0:20
channels I have now so this is an additional channel for me that is going
0:23
to be focused on a couple of different types of content so number one is and
0:27
this will be completely different videos from Linus Tech tips they're still going to be Tech rated but a totally different
0:32
style so you guys are going to want to make sure that you're subscribed to it separately I'm going to have a little
0:36
annotation in the bottom of the video make sure you subscribe to Techquickie
0:39
while you're at it you can subscribe to my cat tips Channel as well if you feel like it it is a real thing see it's got
0:44
like 30,000 subscribers I do try to do videos every day or two um so Tech
0:48
quickie two things product showcase videos so this is going to be like the
0:52
uh the one we did on the Voyager air for Corsair it's lonus here I know I know
0:57
I'm that guy I know who it is so this is is the one where we sort of showcase the
1:01
Voyager air in a bunch of different ways they actually showed this at their CES
1:04
launch so that was really cool and then the other type of content that we have
1:08
uh lined up well that we're producing right now is going to be called two minutes or less so this is the idea of
1:14
taking a basic concept or a quick thing like installing a processor and doing a
1:18
video that's fast and Punchy and tells you everything you need to know about
1:22
that Concept in only a couple minutes now there's another thing that I want to
1:26
announce as well and that is our January charity drive so if if you go to the
1:30
lineus tech tips Forum which I'm going to link in the description of the video
1:34
you can see we're going to be trying to do this on a monthly basis where guys we
1:39
need your help to make the channel grow and be more popular and all of that
1:43
stuff and I don't really like doing the whole please like my video please like
1:47
my video in every video because I think it's sort of lame so what I'm going to
1:51
be doing is I'm going to be setting sort of Target and growth goals for sort of
1:57
some kind of a metric whether it's likes or comments or whatever else I'm going
2:00
to say look here's what we're going to do this month if we hit this target then we're going to donate to the charity of
2:04
your choice so the thread for this month
2:07
has a bunch of different options so we're going to do 150 bucks guaranteed
2:11
because it's already grown so much since we announced Our intention to implement
2:14
this program and we're going to donate 250 bucks as a stretch Target now likes
2:19
do not actually contribute anything to my bottom line I want to make that very
2:23
clear it's more of a long-term thing more likes equals better search rankings
2:28
better preferential treatment in mostly search rankings and related videos and
2:32
things like that so in the long run this should work out really well but it's
2:37
coming out of my pocket right now so yay but I want you guys to help me decide
2:42
well not help me you guys are going to decide where the money actually goes to
2:47
so these are the options for this month we're going to mix it up you can actually see what people are voting for
2:51
so far so it looks like BC Children's Hospitals the big winner I'm going to
2:55
disqualify winners sort of month to month so that uh we don't end up always
2:59
giving it to the same place because I want us where to spread things around a little bit I figure if we're going to do
3:04
a vlog I can also show you guys what our sets looks like for Techquickie so this
3:08
is actually the remains of uh one that
3:11
we were filming today and we're going to release soon about picking the right fan
3:14
for your case and how to install a fan in your case so it's going to be mostly really simple stuff but great linkable
3:20
stuff so if it's someone if someone asks you something super basic like oh what's
3:25
usb3 instead of explaining it to them you can just link them to a Techquickie
3:30
video so make sure you're subscribed even if you don't watch every video you
3:33
should just sort of have a look see what we're producing and it might come in handy for you at some point I think that
3:38
pretty much wraps up everything that I wanted to say so oh yeah right I didn't
3:42
really sort of show you guys around properly so this is that the reason I was building that white box these are
3:47
actual walls so it was like a lot of work and stuff but I think it's
3:51
worthwhile cuz it sort of works really really well as you guys will see in the
3:54
videos these are this is part of the reason we got all this more expensive
3:58
equipment so some of these other projects projects that we're working on not because I want to be like you know
4:03
the YouTube blogger with the most expensive possible camera but you need
4:08
proper equipment in order to get the production values that we're trying to
4:11
go for with these other videos so here's
4:14
our FS here's our stupid expensive lights and uh okay I think that's pretty
4:19
