Live TV Tuners, Twitch, Plex, and screwing over even more Subscription Services
I have a lifetime subscription to Plex. I’ve had it for at least eight years. It’s cool! It lets me watch IPTV (built-in) and even has the option to connect to digital tuner+antenna combos on my network. I mean, I saw this “HDHomeRun” device I could buy on Amazon a couple of years ago and […]

The Reddit Thing
Yesterday I got a notification from Youtube stating that COPPA/Made for Kids was being forced come January. I’ve largely ignored these messages, as my channel is not that big, not very expansive, and not terribly interesting. However, when these settings apply to everyone, and I am a member of everyone, well, maybe it’d be worth […]

How did I miss this kid!? I recall seeing this in my suggested list multiple times, and I’m happy I finally decided to check it out!

DMX for actual Electrical Engineers
So it’s been coming up recently that our church media department has been buying “OpenDMX USB Dongles” for upwards of $80. I was mortified, especially after seeing this USB device, opening up the sheet metal project box and finding it to be a simple 2-stage USB to RS-485 protocol bridge with no programmable intelligence whatsoever.

Pentax Camera Accessories – The Expensive Joy of Brand Loyalty
Last April, after months of researching and stressing over whether or not I should (or could), I finally bit the bullet and spent $1300 on a nice 24Mpx Pentax K-3 DSLR. This is a super camera that I really have been enjoying and getting some high quality photos with. Most of all I like the […]

National Geographic
This morning I’ve been watching a number of interesting videos taken at zoos and exhibitions including a snake befriending a hamster, a squirrel that knows how to water-ski and others. However, there were a few suggestions on those that linked to some National Geographic videos that turned out to be AMAZING. Here’s the playlist I […]

Step Seq
Recently I discovered a ‘game’ on Kongregate called Step Seq. Apparently there are electronic devices that look exactly like this simulation. Their point is to create music on a time and frequency grid. I’ve been playing around with this one, seen at http://www.kongregate.com/games/quickfingerz/step-seq. The fun of this is that I’ve also been video-recording a few of […]

New Videos and Subscription
Greetings, all! It’s been a while since I did any animation. My attention has been more on live videography of various things including game and oscilloscope capturing. However, just today I put together something like four new animations, plus one overdubbed video of myself whistling three parts to a song. Vain me, eh? Anyhow, here […]

Youtube in 3D
Oh cool! I found that in TestTube (the Youtube labs), there is a feature to make a stereoscopic 3d video out of two videos on your channel! So I quick opened up 3dsmax, did a rotation around the classic teapot (which had a bit of texturing), and rendered two cameras side by side. Left:

Youtube (Again)
Ten great uploads just today!! Nine of the ten are mine (and Andrea’s) first Linerider lines that I didn’t ever get a chance to capture until a few weeks ago. Check them out here. Also, Dad brought home his Batman figurines we got him on a birthday cake a long time ago. Well, I just couldn’t […]
