On Feb 21 we said goodbye to Watson, the channel's original "household puppy".
In 2010, Dylan crowdsourced his name—thank you to Mary Hunter for suggesting the name that stuck. Watson starred in his first video 2011 and brought so much joy to our lives.

Happy New Year to the Household Hacker community!
What’s always made this space special isn’t just curiosity or creativity — it’s the people who share it. Thank you for being part of this community. Wishing you all a thoughtful & curious year ahead.
Today marks Dylan's 43rd birthday. He is missed every day. In honor of his memory, here is a behind-the-scenes photo from 2015, capturing him taking a break from working on his set that, after some tweaking and paint, would later become a recognizable Household Hacker backdrop.
Watson, the channel’s original “household puppy”, turned 15 today.
A heartfelt *thank you* to his puppy-sitter who didn’t miss a beat... or the opportunity to party a little.
@knife17782 *No one* can replace Dylan. 100%.
We have every intention of rebooting the channel and are working on it. As things are, there were a multitude of challenges after Dylan passed; some of which were outlandish, utterly ridiculous, and kept things tied up for years.
@whatthefrogtho Thank you. He had a brilliant mind, for sure. Who knows what lies ahead, but it's nice to know the channel is the one place folks can still go to see him.
Today marks Dylan's 42nd birthday. His content still entertains folks today; timeless, to some degree. It is a testament to how dedication can make good things come to fruition and inspire others. -What a wonderful legacy.
So, happy birthday Dylan. You are missed.
Another year is ending and with that we take time to reflect. Some things have gone well, some have not, and some things are headed in the right direction -at glacial speed. Thank you to those who have stuck by while we navigate a way to move forward. Truly. We appreciate YOU.
TBT: February 2016 the channel dropped a video about things you can do with duct tape. This behind-the-scenes shot is Dylan taking a moment to assess his handiwork before taking a break. The artist is always their own worst critic, but these came out well.
@CaptArgo24 You're not wrong. For those of us that remain with the channel, we intend to stay true to the founders' vision. This channel is Dylan's legacy and deserves to be treated with honor and respect to ensure it endures.
Happy New Year!
As we reflect on 2022, we want express utmost appreciation for everyone who has visited the channel or come here to engage while we navigate moving forward. You, yes you, you rock it so hard.
@EightBitPlayz It’s always nice hearing from a long time viewer. The ability to reach and connect with people you’ve never met is truly amazing and Dylan certainly did that. The loss is felt by so many.
@DeanLeysen Indeed. Some folks refuse to learn. In those moments the only option is to resort to more extreme measures and kick them HARD... in the wallet.
