I had a chance to try out the brand new Hollyland Cosmo C1 wireless HDMI/SDI transmitter while I've been in Düsseldorf! The new model is super low latency and has SDI in and out, so this will integrate great with my studio back at home too. Thanks to Hollyland for sending me to this to review! I'll be talking about it in more detail on my next livestream on Sunday!

It's here! I designed these stands to make it easier to use the YoloBox on a desk and to give you ways to attach accessories like wireless mics or HDMI receivers! The new PK1 stand for YoloBox and YoloBox Pro are available for preorders, shipping starting November 1! Available in both red and black for both YoloBox models! Visit https://pk1.tv/pk1-yolobox-stand/ for links to purchase!
I'm running a giveaway with @comica_audio for the new VDLive10 USB microphone! 🎙️ I demoed this microphone on my most recent livestream. It's a super cute dual capsule microphone, and has one special trick up its sleeve! The wireless mic transmitters are actually bidirectional, which means you can use it with Zoom! If you plug in headphones into the transmitter, you will both send your audio into Zoom, as well as hear the audio from the Zoom call! I was super surprised that this worked so well. The receiver connects via USB-C and works great with an iPad for recording on the go or using with video conferencing apps like Zoom! 🎁 Check out this link for how to enter the giveaway! It runs until I announce the winners on my livestream on October 25th! Thanks to Comica for sending me this mic to review and for sponsoring the giveaway!
First plot on my #AxiDraw was successful! This is a sha256 hash of my name, each ring represents 4 characters of the hash. A hash is a transformation of an arbitrary-sized value into another value of fixed size. Hash functions that are one-way, i.e. cannot be reversed, are the basis of modern cryptography and security on the Internet. Given this image, you wouldn't be able to reverse it to find out the original string, but every time I run the hash on the same string it will output the same value.
My first attempt at computational line art! This image is a representation of a sha256 hash of an input string, my name. Each ring represents 4 characters of the hash, and is the binary representation of the character's ascii value. A hash is a transformation of an arbitrary-sized value into another value of fixed size. Hash functions that are one-way, i.e. cannot be reversed, are the basis of modern cryptography and security on the Internet. Given this image, you wouldn't be able to reverse it to find out the original string, but every time I run the hash on the same string it will output the same value. The next step is to load this into my #AxiDraw and plot it on some actual paper!
