Can anyone recommend good instructional videos on basic/intermediate electronics?

My advice is to jump in and a start a modest project that you are really interested in. If you run into a 'gap', then search the internet. There are so many excellent resources out there it is hard to imagine you have a basic question that you can't find the answer to in a few minutes.

Already doing that. I've got an Arduino microcontroller board that I've been using to control motors and servos with PWM, read rotary encoders, etc. I just finished building a TI INA217-based preamp for my (unbalanced) dynamic mic.

On each project, I either remember something I learned in school, or some EE at work points out something in my circuit that's obvious once they've mentioned it. I still have difficulty looking at a complex circuit and breaking it down into meaningful sub-elements.

I'm trying to reach that critical mass point where you know enough, and know where to go to look for the rest...

Once you're past the real basic stuff, a good self-study course is to pick up The Art of Electronics (ISBN 0521370957) and the companion Student Manual (0521377099). Read AoE and work through the hands-on stuff in the student manual. You'll need some basic equipment, of course, for the lab work. Be aware that there's a new edition of AoE expected sometime in 2009, or at least before Duke Nukem Forever. ;-)

Originally, I was a naive and optimistic on-line poster ( like many others) and paid a very heavy price for that mistake.

So I took it on myself to expose some of them.

F*ck you if you don't like it.

Do tell Phil... Did someone's sticks'n'stones break your bones or something?

He made the mistake of assaulting a toaster that was still plugged in. He'd not been the same, since then. :(
