Using ChatGPT to optimize YouTube content for WPwatercooler
I recently started using ChatGPT to try and optimize the YouTube content for my website, WPwatercooler. In the past, I struggled with writing descriptive text for the "in the description down below" section of my videos and found the process of creating metadata for my episodes to be tedious. I hired a YouTube consultant to provide some critiques and recommendations, but I still needed a way to make the process more efficient.

Mastodon, indieweb and the fediverse
In reply to https://jan.boddez.net/articles/what-indieblocks-does-and-why. I've been working on building up my skills in our post Twitter life by trying to figure out the Indieweb. Many years back I met Chris Aldrich at WordCamp OC and we got to talking about this thing called Indieweb. At the time I was looking for a way to pull in the tweets of people that were mentioning WPwatercooler on Twitter and Facebook and somehow have those mentions show up as comments on the website.

Streaming high school sports games for others to watch
Going to your kids sports games are hard, scheduling time around your day to go to them a well as dealing with the travel to get there in time. Some of these games happen at 2pm on a Wednesday, who can leave work to go it it? I try my best to go to every game my kid is in, she plays varsity water polo in high school and I want to see every one of her games if I can.

The problem with WordPress blocks, full site editing and custom fields plugins
In this post I want to share with you some of my thoughts regarding WordPress blocks custom fields plugins and the recently release full site editor in WordPress 5.9 Josephine.
For the last three years I've been using Beaver Builder as my page builder of choice and have been using the Themer functionality in Beaver Builder to allow me to use custom fields generated from Advanced Custom Fields Pro to display post custom field metadata on posts I have written and website layouts I've created.

Should we replace Facebook with our personal websites?
In the era of social media should we look to take back our voice from the monetized networks of social network and go back to the roots of the internet with personal websites?

How I cleaned my MailChimp mailing list
Back in August I did a little of spring cleaning and cleaned out my mailing list for my WordPress podcast network WPwatercooler.
The idea was that the number of opens and click through's are pretty low and the number of people that were joining the show as participants was getting smaller so what I did is I took a list of all the people that were recently on the show for the last 12 months and added them to a do not remove list and then went through and removed all the folks that have never opened one of the emails and got rid of them.

Vlog - Jim Carrey, Bike riding, Gilmore Girls and Thanksgiving

Jim Carrey, Bike riding, Gilmore Girls and an amazing Thanksgiving feast with our extended family.
This weekend I thought I’d take a stab recording a vlog for the day I ended up using this app on my iPhone called Storie. The app is pretty neat because it lets you record little snips of video and then edit them the way that you want them to be edited and then I’ll post it to their social network as well as to any place you like including twitter Facebook and you guessed it, YouTube.

Things I wish I could do more
I’ve been thinking a bit about things I wish I did more and could do more, here is my running list.
Excercise Back when we had Disneyland passes we ended up walking all over the place there, now that we don’t our walking around (and eating random foods there) has declined. I’d love to start walking in the evening again, something we should have done during the summer months but it’s still doable.

Head in the clouds - 4K time-lapse of clouds with birds on a power line

Yesterday I recorded a time-lapse of clouds and I wanted to get the power lines in the shot to watch the number of birds that land on it. The shot it’s composed right but the result is interesting. I lined up the camera with the power line just over the neighbors apartment (you can see it in the shot at the bottom of the screen) and set the camera to time-lapse at ISO 200 32mm 0ev f/5.

Blue Moon Eve Timelapse in 4K
So tonight it’s what I’m calling “Blue Moon Eve” and after reading about the “Blue Moon” I thought I’d see how awesome the moon looked tonight. Once I went outside I saw CLOUDS lots and lots of clouds! I took about 20 time-lapse shots and then cars kept coming down my street (yup, I was in the middle of my cul-de-sac with my tripod taking pictures of what looked like the side of my apartment building.

Shopping for a $700 mid-range mirrorless camera
I’m in the market for a $700ish mid-range mirrorless camera. I’ve been working on a pros and cons list in my head and thought I’d get a blog post out about it.
Things I'm looking for (in no particular order): WiFi (I lied above, this is #1) iPhone App for accessing photos and remote control (#2) Good for shooting sports (water polo and swimming) Bracketing Timelapse (I watch a lot of Casey Neistat's stuff and envy his ability to do great time lapses) 4k video (would be nice, not a requirement) Selfie-able display (the tilt up and down only ones seem lame) Lightweight Decent low light shooting What I started looking at before I decided on a Mirrorless was a Canon EOS Rebel T6i Digital SLR with EF-S 18-55mm IS STM Lens from Amazon for $849 (and at Costco for $999 in a big kit).

How to setup a YouTube live video stream using FFMPEG
My wife Jen recently noticed that we had a bird’s nest in our DirecTV satellite dish. The Momma bird recently laid some eggs in it and we’ve been curious about them so I thought it would be fun to set up a webcam so we can keep tabs on what’s going on up there without disturbing the nest.

Google Rolls Out YouTube Kids app for iOS & Android
Little kids want to emulate their parents or even their older siblings watching and laughing at YouTube videos but savvy parents with young kids that not all videos are created equal. For a while parents have been building custom playlists and curating videos for their kids to watch. There are even some YouTube channels that tout that they have kid friendly content or have curated playlists.
The folks at Google have noticed this and built their own app for iOS and Android.

Hosting your podcast with a reliable host will insure you that your listeners are downloading from a reputable company, they will have fast downloads and that each download is tracked. In this video I go over how to take a recently uploaded mp3 file to SoundCloud and turn on a few settings so that the file can be downloaded or used in a podcast.
In the video I mention that I don’t use the RSS feed feature as my “podcast feed” in iTunes (or any other aggregator) because I believe that I should “own my feed”.
