SO, thank you dave.
You have provided one og the most interesting sources of knowlegde about electronics. Your videos are simple to follow, and have made me absolutely mad about electronics. I love the endless source of blogs that i have infront of me (only recently descovered you, so theres a lot of unseen blogs :D)

I also LOVE how active you are in your community. It´s incredible, that you, one person, can find time to run a buissnes AND a full time Blog AND a personal life AND keep in touch with your community. Kudos to you i say!

THANKS!

You do excellent work here, Dave.

You, sir, are a master educator.

And as a educator myself,  that is about as high a praise as I have to offer anybody.

I was teaching a college seminar class last semester at our local technical and vocational college, and  across the hall another faculty member was teaching a basic electronics course. Many was the time I wanted to just cut my own students loose and just go take his class. But then, I figured he probably wasn't doing as good a job as you do, so while waiting for my students to arrive, I would put the EEVBlog up on the LCD projector to entertain myself.

Just keep doing what you do, and you will get nothing but better at it.

Dave

Your enthusiasm and the knowledge you choose to share are simply outstanding. Thanks for the amazing video, especially the power supply series.

 :) :)

Saying thanks is a good idea. A better idea is to support Dave though a donation. It doesn't need to be much, just what you can afford or feel like giving. very little bit will help and keep him free to keep this forum going and continue to produce his videos.

Certainly. I just felt that there needed to be a place to put some words on the subject, and i didnt want to link it to money. Just plain thanks.

Edit: And yes i have donated, because i am a big beliver of, making something, offering it free, and then if people like it, allowing them to donate.

But sure, if you can afford it and think its worth it, certainly go donate :)

And no, im not on the wall. I dont need to be ;)

I'd buy him a beer, but, like me, Dave does not drink it. I will add though that beer is a great marinade for the barbie.

Only one complaint: my electronics vocabulary is rapidly acquiring a distinctly Australian accent.  :-)

Milking rice sure must be labour intensive! The herd you'd need must be enormous!

Dave, Thankyou for making those fun and educating videos. i preciate to see someone being so open and honest comments of electronics and related (and not so much related) issues.

I'd like to see more things burning up, some failed projects (for education purposes  ;) ) and in depth explanations of electronics etc..

Dave,

Thanks for having a terrifying technical competency that makes me doubt if I've learned anything at all at university.

Dave,

Thanks for having a terrifying technical competency that makes me doubt if I've learned anything at all at university.

Here's the best quote i got from free_electron

"The school of experience is a great school,but the fees are high"! ;D

experience is proportional with the amount of parts ruined
experience is proprtional with the number of projects that don't work right...
experience is proprtional with the number of projects that do work right...
if something doesn't work it is not a failure. you were just successful at making something that did not work !
electronics hobbyists are like little kids. only the price of the toys has gone up ...

^ Lol, this.

Truly though, I've only recently become a member but I've followed Dave for a long time. Thanks for a great place and awesome YT content!
