  • YouTube progress update

    Over the weekend, I spotted a notification that YouTube was altering the monetization process (how you make money on YouTube).  Specifically, until a channel has 10,000 views or more, they simply won’t play advertisements or monetize – the channel is too small.  By all means, I don’t blame them, they need to make sure that…

  • Troubles at work

    So I had a grand plan to start my painting miniatures series last night, and even organized, packed up, and hauled all the gear out to my location so I would be ready.  Miniature primed and ready to go, camera charged and set.  And then work develops an issue with one of my clients, with…

  • Bullet journaling

    A couple weeks ago, I purchased a couple of new notebooks, with the intent of managing a variety of activities.  In particular, I wanted a way to track the various work related activities.  I had previously experimented a bit with the process known as Bullet Journaling, but fundamentally, I couldn’t really get behind the method.…

  • Travel day

    Not much of an update today, since I am travelling home from Toledo again, as part of my routine schedule.  Most of the day is thus spent on travel and getting sorted out at home, so little time for much else. I am most of the way thru the latest Pathfinder video, and have the…

  • Editing the videos

    Spending more time on the editing process, this time for the latest Pathfinder video, and struggling to find a rhythm.  As I have previously posted, for each hour of content, it seems to take about 3 hours of editing in order to pare it down to about 10 minutes of final material.  For a 5…

  • More fan art

    Continue to get a stream of fan art from the players in the Rise of the Runelords campaign, of pretty decent quality given the age of the players.  It is entertaining to me that I can not only recognize the creatures being drawn, but also how it relates to the particular section of the storyline…

  • Patreon Funding

    So I think I finally have a handle on this podcast idea, and just need to now go thru and convert prior video content into audio-only podcasts.  As part of that, I will need to record some intros and closing sections, since much of that is currently a static image in the videos. As part…

  • Hardly a stable week

    So just when I am starting to get comfortable that my network and server configuration is nice and stable, of course I suffer an outage.  If you had been trying to reach my site over the last couple of days (since Saturday), most likely the connection was up and down.  This was due to an…
