COVID19
Obviously, March's update is going to have to address What's Going On Right Now. No getting around it. So, let's talk coronavirus.
First thing's first: I'm fine. So far, anyway. Massachusetts ha...

Hey team! Here's the rough cut of Protagony 2.
It's temp audio because the day I was planning to record final audio was really windy and a tree was banging on my window the whole time. I've rephrased one or two bits of the script since this ...
2020-02-29 18:20:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey team! Figured I'd get February's update to you early, since there's a decent chance I'll be bottlenecked come the end of the month.

the audio mix is all over the place, there's at least one place where I haven't picked a clip so it's just black, I've redrafted the script so many times that I think ...

Let's Try This Again
I'm calling do-over.
I came into January with a bunch of optimism. As some of you may know, my birthday is in early January, so new years also bring new ages. This month has been th...

My plans for January have been disrupted by health crises. I've been to Urgent Care twice in the past two weeks. Just so yo...

For any of you in the New England area, Boston University is hosting Ben Shapiro this Wednesday and I will be joining the BU YDSA and BU Students Against Hate Speech in protesting his talk.

Here is the final rough. Tomorrow I'll record and edit final audio and hopefully string the whole thing together. I probably won't get the whole thing done til late, so I'm gonna hold off on publishing until the weekend or maybe Mo...

Hey team, here's step five.
My hope was to launch the finished video publicly on Friday. Unfortunately, I'm heading out of town on Thursday. I think I could manage it if I had the full week, but I'm down to three workdays and I don'...

Here's another chunk. As with the last video, the script has been streamlined but not re-recorded, so things are a bit clunky in places and don't always 100% match the slides. Feedback welcome but anything to do with audio quality or minor graphic...

Alright, here's Step Two! I've made some tweaks to the script since recording this, but they were minor enough that I didn't feel like re-recording before doing this rough. Current draft is just a bit more streamlined. You'll see a few lines that ...
