As I said, I’m trying to become less camera shy, putting out videos regardless their being perfectly polished. I woke up yesterday and made this vlog.

To summarize the content of the vlog:

  1. There will be technical content coming soon. I’m working to understand how to use my Wacom Pen Tablet for making videos. Once this is working, I should be ready to move forward.

  2. This week I put out a series of videos on making Pastirma. I’m really happy with this, and I’ve made new friends through the process. You can find these videos here:

You can find part 1/3 of this video series here: https://steemit.com/cooking/@spbeckman/hpmem030
You can find part 2/3 of this video series here: https://steemit.com/cooking/@spbeckman/33ukae24
You can find part 3/3 of this video series here: https://steemit.com/cooking/@spbeckman/vwx6ua2j

  1. I’m working on a video series looking at making Souffle. There still are a few parameters that I’m testing, but hope to have these ready for next week.

  2. I blew up my microwave oven! The good news is that it was repairable and I’m picking it up from the shop today.

  3. Whitman county just informed me that I owe back taxes. Yikes! The good news is that this is an error on their part and they are waiving the $500 in interest charges that were included in my bill.

  4. I have many quesitons about Steemit still and the algorithm. For example, why does the payout change in time – not the USD estimate, but the actual payout. For example from hour to hour the SP and SBD payout changes. I wish I understood this. I also don’t understand why USD are used at all on this site. I find that it makes things confusing. I understand that there is a goal of having a 1:1 USD:SBD rate, but this doesn’t seem to be the case, so why not simply work entirely in Steem instead? Lastly I don’t understand voting for “witnesses”. I vaguely understand that this is related to the hardware associated with the currency, but I don’t exactly understand this fully.

On the chance that DTube doesn't playing nice with my post, I'm including the YouTube version here as well.
