Writing my first page on Wikipedia - Kipkay, my favorite YouTube channel guru. As requested in the Your_first_article page, I am writing it here first to learn more about the wiki markups and such:

= KipKay =

KipKay (aka Kip Kedersha) is best known for his weekend projects with  Make Magazine, weekly videos that show users how to actually create projects featured in the magazine. Currently with 144,000 subscribers, KipKay is also known to be an all time top 100 subscribed YouTube Channel Guru. Online, KipKay features his own projects usually involving lasers, gadgets, hacks, and the occasional prank.

Self Promoted
After working with a local cable company for many years, Kip worked his way into video production shooting commercials for local companies. A self-taught "tinkerer," Kip realized he could fuse his interest of electronics and video production by creating how-to videos on the internet. Initially finding success on Metacafe, Kip found a greater fan base on YouTube. Now, with over 2.1 million channel views, KipKay's popularity has lead to appearances on the DIY Network and Discover Channel. Many of Kip's projects can be found on Instructables.

Make Magazine
Early in 2008, Make Magazine was looking to replace Bre Pettis for their Weekend Project segment. KipKay was chosen and now produces a new show every week. These videos primarily feature projects submitted by the Make Magazine writers and are separate from KipKay's self-promoted episodes found on YouTube and the official KipKay.com site. Kip has also appeared for Make Magazine workshops at Maker Faire conventions.
