You do you, but hearing people talk about their trauma is my least favourite podcast subject.

Today's mantra: "I don't have the time to argue with strangers on the Internet, no matter how wrong they may be."

It's not that the advice is bad necessarily, it's just that it's so nebulous as to be completely impossible to implement. * Don't be boring! * Be shareable! * Have people like you!

The young folk sure love the word “aesthetic” and used it in many and varied ways.

There is something so jarring about listening to this today, as Barbra explains people listen to reason and change and that they always have. And sings Happy Days Are Here Again (unironically) and America The Beautiful. 🤔

It is my lofty ambition to create video content outside. (Though, lately, neither my health nor the weather has made this possible.) But I'm looking forward to giving my mobile rig a good workout soon.

Every time I hear about the latest developments in America all I can think is, “Can you imagine destroying an entire country because you couldn't bring yourself to vote for a competent woman?!”

Were Destiny's Child famous enough to both sample Stevie Nicks and have her feature in the music video of Bootylicious? This feels like a fever dream.

I realise there are all kinds of statistics about airplane safety, but I assume those are of little comfort to people who have lost loved ones to statistical anomalies.

I wrote about the Advanced Masks plugin (by @f15y.com) yesterday and not everyone knew what I was talking about. Essentially a mask is just a shape that you can put your image / video / webcam source into. If you use OBS Studio, check it out: obsproject.com/forum/resour...

My hot take is that there aren't enough B-52's remixes. This one is a banger. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qb3v...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it's still "iTunes" on Windows. 😝

It's shocking just how frequently scammers will download an iTunes/Apple Music album, cobble together some artwork and sell unofficial releases that were never released on CD.

Version 1.5.1 of the Advanced Masks plugin is now live on both the OBS forums and on Github. It fixes a launch-day bug where image sources might not render properly if a mask was applied. obsproject.com/forum/resour...

Brian Wilson was my friend and my brother in songwriting. We shared a similar sensibility, as evidenced by his 4 over 5 chord under “Aaaah!” in "Good Vibrations” and mine under "I’m into something good.” We once discussed who used it first, and in the end we decided it didn’t matter. (Continued)

Can't shake the feeling that life is nothing more than a treadmill and that I probably just need to stop running.

Big week this week. I’ll be releasing Advanced Masks 1.5 with a bunch of new features, and will release my second YouTube video. No stream today as I’ve got to do a camp run for Mini-Singularity, but stay tuned for BIG STUFF!

I was not prepared for how much discussion there would be about teeth in Barbra Streisand's autobiography. And I'm only on track 3 (of 61) of the audiobook.

In the Language options for uploaded video captions, @bsky.app appears to have a setting for "Middle English." And I am intrigued to say the least.

I didn't really understand the point of the Cut page in DaVinci Resolve before I got the Speed Editor, and now I really can't imagine living without it. [And yes I burnt captions into this video because at one point I misspoke and said "Scroll" button instead of "Jog" button.]

Consistency is one of those cliches people sprout. I took a week off from doing my live shows, because I had a cold and my voice was almost gone, and replayed some previously recorded material instead… And when I came back the following week, the participation was lower than its been in years.

Not entirely sure what's going on Threads, but there is some conjecture over when Dean Martin was born. (Also I have no special interest in Dean Martin and am not sure why either, let alone both, of these were shown to me.)
