    So I've been spending my Saturday night preparing for tomorrow's livestream by reading up on all the details of YouTube's Content ID system and reading the licenses of various royalty free music sites, and all it's doing is making me more and more angry about the whole system...

    PSA to fellow creators who use @artlist_io you might want to avoid using "Anthem of a Quirky Hipster" for a while... Seems like a comedian published the song in a comedy album and now YouTube is flagging any use of it thinking he owns the copyright to it.

    Pretty neat trick Wordle used to migrate everyone's saved game state:

    The main Wordle site was replaced with a bit of JS that grabs the game data from LocalStorage and puts it in the query string when redirecting to nytimes.

    Also notable: that code is vanilla JS, no libraries!

    This microphone sounds great and looks incredible! 😍

    It's a USB-C mic with built in storage for on-board recordings, and you can also use it as a headphone jack for an iPad! I just posted a video going over all the features of the mic, so be sure to check it out on my channel! Thanks to @tula.mics for sending this over to check out!

    Sometimes Duolingo makes up sentences that don't make any sense, but I think even this is something they couldn't have come up with if it weren't for the pandemic

    I'm curious what, if any, types of websites you actually want and allow browser notifications from.

    I feel like there's a good use case for them, but it's certainly not being notified of news articles or new recipes.

  • Stream a USB webcam to HDMI on a Raspberry Pi

    This post exists to collect my notes on displaying a USB webcam on the Raspberry Pi HDMI outputs. This is not the same as streaming the webcam (easy), and this is not for use with the Raspberry Pi camera module. This is specifically for USB UVC webcams.

    In this week's video I showed the step by step for how to green screen your live videos using the YoloBox Pro! Frankly it couldn't be any easier, I was really impressed how well it handled even my poorly lit green screen.

    Also can I just say again how much I like the Elgato green screen? It collapses down onto my floor so it's totally out of the way, and only takes a few seconds to set up when I want to use it!

    oops, I accidentally viewsourced wordle and it turns out the next day's words are already chosen and visible in the source code. Don't look if you don't want to be spoiled!

    Dear @Eventbrite, I have an account, so please make sure it is not possible for other people to sign me up for events with only my email address. I've been added to dozens of events over the last two weeks and it's an interesting new vector for spam. @EventbriteHelp

    In case you missed it, I posted a video with my 10 favorite tech/video purchases from 2021 on my YouTube!

    I included only things that I actually bought myself, not including anything that was sent to me to review. I did get to review a lot of great gear too but that will be for another video.

    Here's to another year of livestreams and video production!

    Fellow conference speakers! I'm tired of posting my slides on Speakerdeck, I want to host them on my own website.

    What awesome tools are there for doing this in a way that looks as close to Speakerdeck as possible? I'm thinking maybe an old-school JS slideshow viewer?

    Just used this handy XKCD chart to determine that it was finally time to build a web interface on top of this little PHP script that generates PDFs of checks, rather than continuing to hack up this code by hand every time I need to print one. https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/is_it_worth_the_time_2x.png

  • How to convert USB webcams to HDMI

    There are a handful of interesting USB webcams out there, which naturally work great with a computer. But what if you want to combine video from a USB webcam with your HDMI cameras in a video switcher like the ATEM Mini?

    In late 2019 I stuck a raspberry pi and e-paper display in a picture frame and made it show my upcoming travel plans. Now it is just blank. What should I use it for now?

    I think this is the first time the "elevator" on a plane has made sense to me!

    Too bad it has nothing to do with the quadcopters I want to fly but I need to learn it for the test anyway πŸ˜…
