Analog Computer due to arrive

The Analog thing (That) is finally due to arrive tomorrow. It would have been earlier except for the Post office strike. Customs duty and VAT are all paid. So hopefully tomorrow I can start playing and making up some lesson plans
 

The Last Day of Teaching before Christmas

So the Cake is now iced (I'm glad I am not teaching art or cookery with these skills), and one more lesson to go, and then I'm finished for a week.

The Power Station

 The Power Station

At the power station, energy flows,
From coal and gas and water, who knows?
It's all combined and burned with heat,
To create electricity, that can't be beat.

The turbines spin and generators hum,
As electricity is sent on its way,
To light up homes and power our lives,
It never sleeps, it never arrives.

The power station is a busy place, 
Where energy is made at a rapid pace,
It never stops, it never slows,
It powers our world, and our every goal.

So next time you flip a switch and see a light,
Remember the power station, working through the night,
Creating electricity, so bright and true,
Powering our world, all because of you.

Steam Punk Camera

 Trying out a new type of AI Steampunk camera. The camera doesn't exist except in the mind of the AI Midjouney, which can create objects to fit a description. Great for computing and some Physics Art.

Ball Catcher

 My son and I spent much of the day creating and filming a new video on vectors using the @Pascoscientific wireless smart cart and the ball catcher. Using the timed and distance ball release we could get the ball to release just where we needed it.

Podcast or Video Cast?

 The best of both worlds. Producing the Podcast but also videoing it so we can reach a wider and different audience.

No Solar

 Snow-covered solar panels mean no solar electricity . Even if the panels were free, there is much freezing fog as to make little difference

Rodex Microphone and Unify

I have using been using Unify and the Rodex Dynamic Microphone for a few weeks now, and I love it. The sound is very clear and using the dynamic microphone I don't pick up too much extraneous noise. and it is great for dictation too.

 

Snow Day

 For the first time in a very long time, a Snow Day! Some of the students have gone online, but the majority have decided to come. All the roads are now ok. It's just the minor roads that are on hills that cause problems. I live on a hill.

Halo Scripting

 Teaching others Halo scripting is taking off. Paul shows how to learn how to program in Halo Forge Infinite in a step-by-step process. The series is becoming popular because of the slow and steady pace of teaching others how to program.

What the camera sees

What the camera sees compared to the edited video shows is quite different. The green screen is extended and flipped to the computer screen from the live view, making the video come alive.
