I don't want a Insta360 Luna Ultra, I want a DJI Osmo Pocket 4P... but I am tired of waiting. First World Problems, admittedly.

When you wake up too early (for no good reason), time seems to stand still.

I really do love DaVinci Resolve. But a part of me is always shocked when there's a new version and I have to download a 9.5 GB file.

I swear every social media post is like, "Paper clips used to be better when I was young," but from a really raw emotional place that makes me think the poster isn't doing so well.

Suffice it to say Facebook Marketplace is an abomination

DaVinci Resolve has all kinds of magical audio tools built into it, and I'm sure they're great, though no matter what I do, I can't seem to rival the Voice Profiler options inside Hindenburg V2. 🤷‍♂️ And that's probably a reflection of my capabilities, not those of the software.

Social media (generally) would be infinitely more useful if "this is something the algorithm is just randomly putting in front of you" was more clearly signposted.

FUNNIEST PART Mike: Have you heard about this suppressed memory satanic panic that people may have been wrong about? Sarah and I did 800 episodes about it. Peter: No, but let me guess…

Podcasters sometimes do this weird thing where they'll need someone with actual expertise and instead get their friend "a comedian" to weigh in.

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features." There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

Peter is like, “Well, it's no Crystal Shrek.”

Listening to a podcast that is not about politics or economics, and the host still went on a weird “What if we are taxing those poor Billionaires too much?!” rant.

It feels like there is an army of “journalists” who are just prodding celebrities to say something vaguely resembling a hot take to feed the clickbait appetite of the masses.

One of these days I'm going to go the DJI website and the DJI Osmo Pocket 4P will actually be available to purchase, and the shock will likely kill me.

Listening to a (new to me) podcast about filmmaking and it opens with a quote from Roman Polanski

I had forgotten how good chilli oil is.

Shann-a-ra, Sha-nnar-a? No idea. Though I now have “My Sharona” stuck in my head.

John: I don't need the DJI Mic Mini 2. Also John: BUT LOOK AT ALL THE PRETTY COLOURS! 😍

I just saw an ad that was like, "What if you wanted an animated Bee explaining the laws of gravity? This AI tool can do it." And, like, respectfully, who wants this? lol

I'm not sure how I feel about Sarah Marshall describing "This Used To Be My Playground" as the worst Madonna song she's ever heard. 🙈🙉🙊 @yourewrongabout.bsky.social www.buzzsprout.com/1112270/epis...

There are some fascinating cameos in Madonna's "Confessions II - The Film."

New music from Mike D of The Beastie Boys youtu.be/ssKfKcS_92Q?...

I appear to have lingered on an ad for too long and suddenly Facebook insisted I was a "top fan" of that company

Oh damn, some piece of video / audio technology I probably don't need but desperately want is on special so I guess I'm going to obsess over this for the next couple of weeks.

I'm literally watching video recording and video editing videos on YouTube and all the ads are like, "Hey, you can generate AI nonsense in Descript," and let me just say this as loudly as I can: ABSOLUTELY NOT.

TWO ANGLES ARE BETTER THAN ONE This week on the livestream: how you can bring two camera angles into a multi cam edit in DaVinci Resolve —and it's easier than you might think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bjuu...

Now that every small business is churning out ads with AI, I'm honestly a bit wistful for the age of everyone using the same Canva templates.

TikTok recently asked me if I knew a creator personally, and it has spawned a kind of parasocial existential crisis.

I really need advertisers to know that every time I see an AI generated ad, I tell the website that I never want to see it again.

Have you ever been under the impression that a piece of gadgetry required a special charger, only to realise one day "oh, it's just USB-C"?

You can buy three different versions of a "Toy Story 5" CD single, each apparently features a slightly different version of the same Taylor Swift song. Though they're apparently only available for 48 hours.

My least favourite genre of podcast: two extroverts talking about how every aspect of your life requires MORE PEOPLE 🙈

[Potential spoiler but:] I will go to the grave thinking about how I thought @notalawyer.bsky.social was about to drop some real insight but instead just set up a thot daughter / gay son joke. 🤣

Sometimes you see things on social media and get caught up in a discourse and then think, "This is not a good use of my time" but also "Oh, this is the whole point of social media, maybe NONE of this is worth my time?!"

Admittedly I know very little about color correction / grading, but the Shot Match option in DaVinci Resolve is amazing (and apparently it's the free version too).

Treasures on a Sunday morning. This copy of Tina Turner's "The Best" didn't play too well, so I turned it into a clock.

Planet Earth is blue and there's nothing I can do.

Picked up a copy of Carole King's “Tapestry” for a dollar.

Some animal is making unholy sounds outside my window.

I don't know what it says about me but all I want to do lately is watch Markiplier play At Dead Of Night.

This tiny little thing is a wireless microphone with internal audio recording, and it's pretty cool. Learn more about it in the Newsletter: www.linkedin.com/pulse/dji-mi... And join me this week as we look at DJI Mics and accessories. #DJI #DJIMic2 #DJIMic3
