    Does it matter having a domain email address anymore? I almost feel weird not having @gmail in my address. It used to be so professional to have a domain email. Now people get confused lol

    Every time I tell my email address to someone ... "aaron at parecki dot..." they say "wait, aaron dot parecki at what?"

    Remote worker tip: after testing oodles of options the best off-the-shelf webcam is the Logitech Brio for improving how your video meetings look. It runs on USB-C, which also makes it very easy to plug into a newer Mac without any additional software https://amzn.to/3cJECcT

    Dang that looks a lot better than the Logitech C920 I've been using for years!

    Thanks to the changes in DST, now it's right either 4 or 8 months of the year 😂

    Still can't believe they changed the dates and didn't just get rid of it entirely.

    That moment you find out you need to do a lot of travel for work this year and you sold your MacBook a couple months ago 😅

    Maybe this is the time to buy a windows laptop and finally learn davinci 🤷‍♂️

    I've been pretty happy with my Razer Stealth 13 using Premiere. It's the first time I've used a Windows computer in like 10 years!

    Yea I don’t buy it
    Aaron Parecki
    Yeah I suspect too many other companies are going to pull out regardless of whether it's officially cancelled or not. Which also means the expo floor is gonna look real sad.

    Whoa SXSW is cancelled? Thats kinda crazy. I wonder if NAB is gonna get cancelled too. I kinda wanted to go this year again.
    Aaron Parecki
    So far they put out a statement saying it's still on. I'm hoping they don't cancel cause it's gonna be my first time going there!

    @aaronpk what do you think would be a workaround to get Comments/questions (like vMix Social) into Atem Mini? Thx
    Aaron Parecki
    You're basically limited to using the picture-in-picture or keyer to overlay an HDMI source on top of the video, so you'd need to find some software that can display the comments/questions on half or a third of a 1920x1080 screen. I'm sure there are solutions out there tho!

    @aaronpk I guess I was wondering if I could host event pages on micro.blog, instead of Facebook events for instance. Not that I do, just want an alternative.

    Aaron Parecki
    Interesting idea! How would you want Meetable involved in that case? Right now that's where the event pages live.

    @aaronpk Hey! Is there a way to integrate Meetable with a site hosted on micro.blog? Really appreciate your work on this, and will be buying you a couple beers!!!

    Aaron Parecki
    Thanks! What sort of integration did you have in mind? You should already be able to post replies and photos to events there by linking to an event page in a post.

    The world doesn't need another messaging app for groups. Yes? I definitely shouldn't build, like, a nice cross-platform one that doesn't sell your data. Like a private Slack for friends and family. I have all the pieces and it would take a week to beta, but, terrible idea. Right?
    Aaron Parecki
    i have thoughts. Happy to share them over a coffee or beer this weekend, too long for a tweet.

    Honestly?

    The addition of the b-roll shots is great! I like how it mixes up the shots of you talking, and it's great to see closeups of what you're talking about.

    The sound effects are a bit much. They are a bit loud, but they also don't correspond to visual cues right now.
    Aaron Parecki
    If you're going to use a *whoosh* sound, then there needs to be a visual aspect to it as well rather than a hard cut.

    But overall I like the new style! It's giving me some ideas for my videos too! If only I had as much space to set up a sweet b-roll station as you!

    Question: Do you like the new video style? My original style I find is both boring to make and watch (my retention graphs agree). So I want more energy.

    But I've gotten some push back on the shot choices and delivery. So I'm opening it up to the internet for feedback.

    I think it possible is non-visibility of anything physical. So on a phone call, it is as if the phone is acting as an intermediary and introducing a third party, that is you.

    I believe “this is Amit” will sound equally absurd on a video call? Because my visibility makes me the first party?

    Aaron Parecki
    That makes sense. But today I had 8 different people introduce themselves that way in an in-person group setting. I've never had that happen before!

    @aaronpk My theory: saying “this is x” on the phone, is a way to link the voice speaking to the name/person. “This voice you hear is x”. In person, they see your face talking, so saying “I’m x” is linking your face to your name more than your voice to your name, so expanding the phone phrase in person to “this face is x” is why it sounds weird.

    Aaron Parecki
    This makes sense, which is why I was so thrown off when 8 different people introduced themselves by saying "this is X" in person today.
