Infinity ∞ Pixels.. The new choice ?

Just wanted to pop in and say the beginner series is still 100% happening — “Your First Animated Light Show — From Zero to Showtime” hasn’t gone anywhere, it’s just taking a bit of time to get right behind the scenes. More on that soon!

In the meantime, I’ve got a new one for you to check out: I got my hands on Pixel-Now’s new Infinity Series ∞Bullets and put them through their paces against regular 12V resistor pixels — power draw, actual light output, running temp, the works. Honestly the numbers surprised even me.

Why I’m taking a short break (and what’s coming next).

I’m pausing the weekly videos for a few weeks — not stopping, just regrouping. Here’s why, and what’s coming next.

The short version: I’ve been hitting the weekly slot, but I haven’t been making each video as good as I want it to be.

So I’m taking a few weeks to rebuild how I make videos, and to put together a proper beginner series from the ground up — six episodes that take someone from “what is this hobby” all the way to running a small show on their driveway. If you’ve been subscribed for a while, thank you for the patience.
