Troubleshooting multiple webcams on a USB hub
At home, I have been using three webcams for piano livestreaming: one from the top overlooking the piano, another from the side focusing on the right hand, and another for the face. This setup, I thought, has enough visual movement to be less boring to watch. Then there’s a fourth webcam sitting on the monitor,…

You know, maybe from all the meaningless shit 45* spewed to date, maybe the “I’ll take all the heat from this” line is an indication that impeachment is finally imminent. As in, “I’m going down anyways, who cares”

I have a strange permanent problem with video playback, only happening on Netflix and Amazon Prime. (But not on Hulu or YouTube) I have a multi monitor setup – 4 monitors, 3 of them 1080p, plugged to a NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti. Whenever I stream a video from Netflix or Amazon Prime in one of…

One dissipating point of Crash Course Big History: The Deep Future is how, despite being assured that it’s very, very, very, unvisualizably far away, trilliion trillion trillion…. trliion years doesn’t sound like THAT much of time – especially when you write it as “10 to the power of 100”. Like, if a consciousness was immortal,…

i remember when my digital program coach asked what inspires me to continue to do the work. what i described was 100% field organizing, which was throwing us off the curve because we thought we would find language that described my current focus, data and automation. well, there’s inspiring, then there’s fun. if for some…

“Trump cancelled DACA to shock congress and help undocumented young people” Yeah right, says who? People who were lucky enough to have their DACA work authorizations expire *after* March 2018 and haven’t lost their jobs. You think you can just show up in the same workplace in 6 months and expect to be automatically re-hired?…

i had some light fever yesterday, and was given oscillococcinum (anas barbariae) by a colleague. It was unusual looking (dust in a tube), so I googled it, and found the above wikipedia entry. I said thanks but no thanks. Instead of ingesting some sugar and hoping it acts on the virus, I’ll get plain old…

that moment when I think I clicked the gmail search box and start typing > from:blabla to:blabla filename:(doc OR docx) but turns out the click was off by a few pixels and the prompt was not in the search bar and instead a bunch of gmail in-browser keyboard shortcuts are triggered during the typing, and…

1. After watching Game of Thrones “The Mountain” advertisements, I buy a SodaStream carbonator to get sparkling water at home 2. i order a co2 replacement pickup-exchange service 3. some middle eastern looking guy delivers it and asks for the replacement, which I had forgotten to place on time. (i’m actually unclear how it works…

i was like “oh i need to pay today’s rent, i’m one day behind schedule (apt is pretty lenient)”, and cut out a check and was looking at my check records to see what the current rent amount was, and noticed i already paid the rent two weeks ago… -0-; did i just get $900…

over the weekend, i came across the youtube channel “classical musicians react to kpop” which was a very unique experience.. i had no idea that rap songs had chord progression! Because there *are* kpop songs of questionable quality, this channel seems to focus more on iconic pieces or songs that do have musically interesting attempts…

After a few days of 15-hour workdays, we were all half brain dead. One of those encounters happened on the last day. I saw a black woman waving a Kenyan flag in the crowd, and I asked: Is that the flag of Zimbabwe? No, it’s Kenya’s. “Oh, Kenya! That’s where President Obama is from!” For…

A was assigned to comms without much discussion. For most of us I guess it was thought of as a smart talent allocation. Until sharing the clips with news outlets came up. For A, media corporations should not be allowed to profit off of independent artists, and a negotiation was required every time an outlet…

Selective Impression
It’s unusually interesting that in the case of this DACA phased repeal, people remember the piece of information “6 months” over everything else. Everyone I talked to (even some DACA dreamers who seem relatively well informed) since I returned to LA recall the DACA announcement as “DACA will be cancelled in 6 months” – which…

how to use hotel batrooms during 24/7 protests
based on my gut guesses 1. Best will be hotels with a roomy lounge and 1 manager on shift in evenings. 2. Clean clothes. What would a tourist look like? I hoped an explorer hat would do the trick. 3. First time will be hardest because you won’t know where the bathroom is. Ask those…

Using Facebook because the people are there is like buying from Walmart because the products are affordable.
