As an engineer who recently started blogging I can agree with a lot of your points. I've been contemplating getting into making videos also but the barrier to entry is much higher. Any tips for getting started?
Great that you have started your blog! About making videos, I'd suggest that try making screencast videos first. It is always harder to show your face and talk to camera. So starting with screencast videos is easier. When you have made couple of videos think about maybe including short "talking head" shots to the screencast videos also. This way the jump from screencast to "talking to camera" videos gets easier.
With screencast videos you also don't have to worry about equipment (camera, lights, etc) that much. You only need microphone and screen recording software (I use OBS).
Hope these help!
