    In 2020 I wrote a book on FFmpeg after going through the entire FFmpeg documentation. I wanted to learn FFmpeg inside and out by actually using it to convert audio/video based on w…

    You have a great humorist writing style. I enjoyed the read and it just makes me want one even more. I just went to an Apple Store to demo the Vision Pro and walked out feeling lik…

    If you have an interest in English and the evolution of the language you must check out the YouTuber Simon Roper. There's no finer student of the subject than him and I appreciate …

    Back in the day a lot of video games had lore that was either made up or told telephone style. There wasn't exactly wikis on a lot of information to tell truth from fact. So printi…

    Goodreads discoverability seems pretty good to me. I'm constantly finding new books through their recommended algo, front page, curated lists and search. What else could they do to…

    If the doubling the word count seems daunting, you can try rewriting your 20k words into a short story and still get something out of it. If you're anything like me you'll probably…
