Best wishes for 2014 everyone!
I think some additional background content on the website could be useful. I'm pretty sure it will attract the necessary attention the blog site requires if it will be linked in through YouTube and the forum.
Maybe not even content that's directly linked to a particular video, as that's pretty good well linked or added on the forum. Maybe some preview stuff like you post to twitter on the micro-[insert] projects, etc, some minor rants about how crappy vendor sites are and EDA tools can bug out all the time.
I think teardown photos are already posted to Flickr, right? That would just a matter of linking in and/or pointing people to the links.
Live shows are entertaining to watch/hear for the waffling. Problem for me is with the last set of live shows they were too long to get through. I think the last live show was like 5 hours?
I usually try to watch any video in 1 go, and with 1.5 to 2+ hours that's impossible.
Maybe a live show with a questions section and a more or less planned section (that may otherwise not be shot or put on altzone or something) would be fun to combine. I know it's already been tried and it was a logistic nightmare getting a good video shot, and video quality on most distributing platforms is pretty laggy/crap.
