Really dull day felt like it was getting dark at 3 this afternoon when I took this.
Thanks for the affirmation, Ian, currently swimming thru tons of #TeachMeet research data (yep, same dna as Pedagoo, BrewEd, CampEd). Key features: non-hierarchical, open, peer-to-peer. So far, *sharing* is the definitive value emerging from this global appreciative inquiry; tbc.
Along with avoiding @ewanmcintosh’s “keynote-speaker-sponsor-driven” & keeping to

So what the bleep is this? Well, OBS Studio or Open Broadcast Software. What it offers is quite incredible and is a credit to what open source software can be. It lets you create composite scenes for video, switching between, and actually do the live streaming. It’s a digital video studio, and offers everything I used like 10 years ago running live streams from Second Life with Wirecast ($500+ software).
Hi Alan,
Thanks for this. Earlier in the year when schools were closed here I was racking what is left of my memory for a piece of freeware I used to use (perhaps pre osx) that did a little of this, system extension maybe.. I think I used it with Marritech…

And your side rant nails it!
Dear DS106 Daily Create,
I type mostly in TextMate, the font is Menio Regular 16. I had to check that. I Do not think I’ve ever spent much time thinking about fonts.
I spend more time thinking about gifs.

Brutalist reflection
This popped up on my screen today. I’ve not used Flash for a long time, but had good fun with in in its day. When it was owned by macromedia we got education licenses in school and my then pupils had fun animating.
