For better or worse, a lot of educational media has migrated from blogs to video, especially YouTube. This can be super low-density, but it can also be better. It simply depends on the creator. These are the Maker-oriented YouTube channels that I follow (and why):
- Adafruit
- bigclivedotcom
- Blondihacks. Great teacher of machining and steam engines.
- Clough42. Skilled amateur machinist.
- CNC Kitchen
- EEVblog
- ElectroBOOM
- element14 Presents
- engineerguy. Bill Hammack is the Carl Sagan of engineering. I think that explains him best. His new book, The Things We Make is an excellent introduction to the engineering mindset.
- IMSAIGuy
- Machining and Microwaves. If you're interested in all sorts of experimental microwave and custom machined parts.
- Maker's Muse
- Naomi Wu. The ever present Real Sexy Cyborg is a very talented maker out of China who brings her very unique perspective to everything.
- Phil's Lab.
- Practical Engineering. Grady mostly focuses on civil engineering, but the discussions are very helpful and informative.
- Robert Feranec
- Simone Giertz
- Sparkfun
- Teaching Tech
- Technology Connections
- Texas Instruments
- This Old Tony. A hilarious and exceptionally talented machinist.
- w2aew
- Xyla Foxlin. Super multi-talented maker, rocketeer, pilot, etc.
There's also a few that are largely stagnant but still contain some good content:
- Afrotechmods
- jdflyback. Fun with vacuum tubes.
