Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to Geek Therapy Radio. You've got your mental curator,
Johnny Hemburger. This is a great experiment in many ways
as I record this episode of the Geek Therapy Radio podcast.
For one, I am recording it if you're watching this
on YouTube into my newest tech toy. I guess finally,
I didn't cave, but I got the DGI Osmo Pocket three.
(00:26):
It's been out for I think over a year now.
I've heard nothing but rave reviews about it. I just
have not been able to think about where it would
fit into my kind of production flow. But the more
I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion,
you know what, I'm just gonna get it, and I'm
gonna get it on Amazon and I will save the
receipt as they say, to see. If this doesn't work
(00:48):
in my production flow, then I can always send it back.
But so far it has been amazing, just in brief,
having ten bit video that you can color grade later,
a one in sensor, and the gimbal. The three axis
gimbal is the main star of the show here. It
has kind of it's changed the way that I do
(01:09):
my run and gun video making for the museum, specifically
my day job. I leave my Lumix S five two
X at home now and I use the the dg
Osmo dj dj I Osmo Pocket three for for most things,
because mostly just run and gun type of situations. Now,
(01:30):
if there's a planned shoot, now, if I know that
I'm gonna want the absolute, you know, the image quality
of a full frame sensor, then sure of course I'm
going to pack my Lumix S five into the backpack
and go. But most of what we do, you know,
I realize that most of what I do day to day,
at least ninety percent of the content that I make
for the museum, the one in sensor in the in
(01:52):
the gimbal and the dgi Osmo Pocket three will more
than put the bill to cover ninety percent of what
I do for them. It pairs right to my GGI
Mike's two seamlessly, so I get nice, crispy audio out
of it when I'm running and gunning. It's it's just
a great little piece of kit, as you would call it,
(02:12):
across the pond and elsewhere in the world. Something that
I'm reminded of right now as I'm talking, and I
don't know how long this podcast will be. Because of
this issue is that I got my wisdom teeth out
last week, almost exactly one week as of recording this podcast.
I had my remaining three this one, this one, and
(02:35):
this one wisdom teeth removed. And now that I'm chatting
and talking, it's getting a little difficult. I can feel
I can feel it getting a little bit irritated. But
I'll try to go so if this if this podcast
is a little bit shorter than the others, it's because
I had my wisdom teeth out recently and I probably
(02:57):
shouldn't be talking for thirty minutes non stop stream of consciousness.
But I did want to bring up another thing I
talked about the DJA Asmo Pocket three. If you're on YouTube,
you're looking at it. I've got the face tracking going
on right now, and it's doing a pretty good job
of tracking me, even though my face is halfway covered
by the microphone sometimes. But we'll see how this all
plays out. The other topic is my computer woes. I
(03:24):
I think I had mentioned, I think it did mention
in the past podcast or two that I've been having
blue screens of death on my Windows PCs. I've been
swapping processors and doing the whole thing. I've got this
fifty nine to fifty X and it was giving me
blue screens, and I did a fresh install a Windows
and blah blady blah, and then my HTPC downstairs over
there was giving me problems with the with the thirty
(03:45):
nine hundred X. I'm happy to report that those issues
seem to have resolved on the HTPC with the thirty
nine hundred X. I did a clean wipe of the
envme drive wipe, not just like, let's reformat it. I
did a complete, you know, long reformat, thorough reformat of
(04:07):
that SSD. Reinstalled Windows from scratch with the thirty nine
one hundred X in the socket, fresh new thermal paste.
I even reseeded the ram I just kind of in
the HTPC. There's only two slots. It's a mini itx board,
but I kind of just made sure both ramsticks were okay,
and then I reseeded them in opposite slots and change
it up fresh install. As a recording, I got my
(04:29):
fingers crossed it. You can see here on YouTube. As
a recording. It's been rock solid. So I think I've
got that system sorted out, and the PC that I'm
recording onto right now. I'm recording this podcast into Let
me see if I can swivel the camera around here
so you can see that I'm recording into Da Vinci
Resolved directly. Oh, you can see the other side of
my desk. There's my Universal Audio four seven ten D
(04:52):
and my taskcam interface that it's running into via light
pipe and a dad and there's my light over there.
And let me turn the camera back around and you
can see my beautiful mug again. Oh, I got to
reset the face tracking because I swiveled it around, all right.
So that's the rig I'm recording with. This is the
fifty nine fifty X. You know what, I'm gonna turn
(05:12):
the camera around since I have the freedom here with
the Osmo pocket and show you what the rig looks like.
It's kind of dark, but it's in this kind of
rack mount case here fifty nine to fifty X. Inside there,
I've got the RTX thirty ninety with its twenty four
gigabytes of wonderful v RAN thirty ninety is still a
(05:33):
baller in twenty twenty five. I know the five thousand
series has come out, but my thirty nine D my
thirty ninety has not left me wanting. But this is
the system that was giving me the most headache with
the blues, BSoDs, the blue screen to death and crashing
all the time it has been I haven't done anything
(05:54):
else to it other than I think it is kind
of settled in. I think it was at Windows driver's issue.
There's been a few Windows updates since then, and there's
been up I downloaded and install the latest in Nvidia drivers,
clean install from scratch, and it's been stable. Uh. I
(06:14):
don't want to say something wrong here, I'll let you know.
I'm rolling the audio obviously also in the Osmo Pocket three,
so if my computer crashes, I'm still gonna have audio
from the Osmo Pocket three to let you know if
it crashes mid recording. Here in Da Vinci Resolve, I'm
running at a decent overclock. The system has been stable
for the past several days. I've not run into random crashing.
(06:39):
So between the Windows updates and the new and Vidia
drivers currently things seem to be going okay. And like
I mentioned, I've got a decent I'm running in a
decent overclock mode right now. I'm at four point five
two five gigahertz across all sixteen cores right now. My
voltage me, I think it's one point to something. Let
(07:01):
me double check that in my in Rise and Master.
Uh so four point five two five gigahertz at one
point two eight one two five vaults. So I'm doing
okay here, it's stable. That's like the maximum overclock under
full load. With the CPU cooler that I have. It's
(07:23):
a noc to a something I forget. Uh, it's a
it's a beefy air cooler. It is not liquid cooled.
There's an air cooler. Under a sustain load, I can
hover around, you know, eighty five degrees on this processor,
which is a little high. But this is my maximum
overclock settings. Obviously, just recording audio into DaVinci Resolve, the
(07:45):
CPU is currently consuming fifty two watts. As I'm looking
at the meter here in core temp, the temperature is
forty nine degree C. I'm not pushing the system hard.
It's it's doing just fine. But when I do push
the system hard, it'll creep around eighty five degree C
under full load. And again that's the maximum all core
(08:05):
over clock four point five two five gigaherts at one
point whatever volts. I just said, so usually I don't
rock the system prolonged like that. I've got another setting
in my Rise and Master that has all core four
point two gigaherts at like one point one something bolts
really nice and cool. I keep my fans running nice
and low, nice and quiet. But the system is stable.
(08:30):
And that's good because, like I had talked about in
previous episodes, in my Amazon cart I have a seventy
nine to fifty X and an AM five motherboard and
DDR five AM. I was like, all right, if my
system is unstable, if I can't get my main desktop
stable with this fifty nine to fifty X, then I
might just have to mite the bullet and do an upgrade.
(08:53):
I have not upgrade platforms obviously since AM four. I
think I built this rig in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty thereabouts,
so it's twenty twenty five. Now. I am well within
my normal parameters of if I do a system upgrade,
a big leap. I wait every two to three years.
I'm on year five at least with this setup, and
(09:15):
it's still going strong. It has not left me wanting.
I've just recently exported a big, giant four K thirty
minute long video with film grain emulation and all that
going on it for the museum. It's a podcast. I'm
gonna plug the podcast, the Beyond the Bones podcast HMNS
Beyond the Bones podcast. You should subscribe to it. Look
for the purple color scheme over there. I've been linking
(09:38):
it in these podcast descriptions, so be sure to check
it out over there. I am distracted by the pain
in my mouth. It is not throbbing, it is not
anything insane right now, but I think I am going
to wrap this podcast up short here in a minute
or two, because I don't want to push it now.
A week into it. I've taken all my antim biotics.
(10:00):
I've taken the steroids whatever, all the stuff they prescribe
to you. I have not taken the hydrocodone. I don't.
I have not needed it, and I don't like to
take heavy prescriptions like that. If I don't need it, thankfully,
i'd be profen and tailenol has been handling the pain.
So right now I'm just taking one advil and one thaileanol,
(10:21):
and that is managing the pain. And I'm only taking
it as needed. But it is as I'm talking here.
It's it's they're they're getting a little irritated. A week
into it, the suture should have, you know, healed nicely.
They are healed nicely. Again. I'm not experiencing any problems
with my getting my wisdom teeth removed. I'm very happy
that they're they're gone, but it's affecting my voice a
(10:44):
little bit. I don't think I'm being as charismatic and
as animated in this podcast, at least as I as
I usually am, because I feel I feel a little
bit more monotone in this podcast because I'm like babying
these fresh wounds, so to speak, in my mouth. When
(11:05):
did y'all get your wisdom teeth out? I'm just curious.
I'm forty one years old. I got them out at
forty one years old. Normally people get them out twenty
years before then, you get them out around eighteen nineteen,
twenty years old. That's what most people do. But my
dentists throughout the years, he's just like, are their wisdom
teeth bothering you? And then like not really, And they're like, okay,
well then we'll just leave them alone. I say, but
(11:27):
you can just anyways. I finally got them taken out,
did the general anesthesia, which is the only way in
my opinion, to do a procedure like this. Although I
had one wisdom tooth removed in two twenty twelve ish
because it exploded down to the root and caused me
the most one of the most excruciating three days of
my life, because I couldn't get to a dentist for
(11:49):
at least forty eight hours since the tooth you up exploded.
I call it exploded because it shattered in right down
to the route and I couldn't escape the pain. For
I couldn't sla for three days. It was unimaginable if
you're from Houston. I walked around Montrose on Monday morning,
twenty twelve, at like seven am, six thirty in the morning,
just knocking on dentist doors, Can you please take this
(12:11):
tooth out of my mouth? And they took this one,
my bottom right wisdom tooth out with just novacane. And
in fact, as soon as they injected me with the
novacane into my jaw, I started to fall asleep because
it was the first relief I had felt in three
days of sleeplessness and agony. But these last three wisdom teeth,
general anesesia worth every penny to have general anesthesia, to
(12:38):
be knocked out called for a procedure like this, I
would be okay if it was just novacane and some
laughing gas. I've never actually had the laughing gas, never
actually had nitrous, but when it was an option, it
was a very nice dentist Fort Ben Dental. Shout out
Fort Ben Dental here in Missouri City, Texas, just off
Highway six was made like we do general anesthesia. I
(13:02):
was like, you do, Can I have that? I will
pay extra for that because that sounds very nice to
not feel anything. So yeah, I had that procedure done
last week. It's I'm still managing the pain. Was there
anything else that I wanted to mention? I mentioned that
I'm recording here now at the video at least with
(13:23):
my Osmo Pocket three, and it's been a wonderful addition
to my run and Gun rig. It's all in my
effort to minimize what I carry with me, to make
it lightweight and make things more effective for my content
creation at the museum. The Museum YouTube channel that I
(13:44):
Manage and run is now at one hundred and thirty
seven thousand followers as of recording this right today. So
I got the YouTube plaque for it. Let me put
it right here, So that's pretty cool. I ordered a
couple of them, one that we can hang up in
our museum, in our office in one for me here
(14:05):
to put back behind me. So that's pretty cool. You're
watching this on my geek therapy radio channel, obviously, come
on tracking it lost my face. So you're watching this
on geek Therapy radio obviously. And I am nowhere near
one hundred thousand. I have no putting nowhere near the
time or effort into this channel that is required to
bring a channel to over one hundred thousand subscribers. But
(14:30):
it feels good, man, feels good to have grown a channel.
When I first start at the museum, the channel is
at like three thousand subscribers, and now it's at one
hundred and thirty hundred and thirty six thousand. Whatever it is,
I've actually it's so it's I stopped counting day to
day the subscribers, which is a weird flex. Not a
(14:51):
weird flex, but not a flex. I'd ever thought I'd
be mentioning, Yeah, in like the secret Sauce to the
at my mouth hurts, and I don't want to say
so much. Right now, I need to add this podcast.
But the secret sauce to that is number one, keep uploading,
like keep making. It's my day job. So that is
(15:13):
what I do over there on the Houston Museum and
Actual Science YouTube channel is you have to constantly upload,
keep uploading. You have to make content. You know, I
upload something probably three or four times a week at least,
and then you listen to the audience and you see
the videos that track well, which videos track what subject
matter tracks the most? And over on our YouTube channel,
(15:36):
it's a paleontology, dinosaurs kind of things. So I like
to show people something cool. I've learned to get to
the right, to the point like shorts is a major
reason why the YouTube channel hasn't grown so much and
just kind of cut into the chase of content, Grab
them quickly and keep when we have like two to
three seconds maximum nowadays to hold somebody's attention. So so
(15:58):
don't make big law extended intros, don't add a whole
lot of fluff here. Just get to it. That's one thing,
there's no magic formula. The other thing is show them
something cool. Educate them, show them something cool. And my
personal philosophy that I've applied to our museum channel is
honesty and transparency. Not every single thing that I upload
(16:20):
to our channel over on the Houston Museum and Natural
Science is the super duper highly polished material. A lot
of it is, but a lot of it is also
just I let the subject or the person presenting be themselves.
For instance, one of our superstars over on the channel,
his name is James Washington. He's an educator at the
(16:42):
Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the community loves James Washington,
and it's just James being himself. I don't edit him down,
I don't reshoot, I don't do take twos or anything
with him. I just let him shine, his personality shine.
He's he's a geek like us, and I gravitate towards that.
I just I feel like I'm rubbing my head a lot,
but it's just because my mouth hurts. I just let
(17:04):
the characters, more or less as I refer to them
on the channel, be themselves. I don't hide things, and
I really let the audience dictate where the content moves.
There's a lot of controversy about surrounding paleontology and dinosaurs,
and there's a lot of people out there. I won't
mention names that still think, for whatever reason, that dinosaur
(17:26):
fossils are fake or they're a hoax or whatever. It's like, Well,
you know that's actually content. Let's address the underlying issue
there of why people and then the year twenty twenty five
still think dinosaur fossils aren't real or don't understand the
fossilization process, or you know, are confused why there's seashells
and ocean fossils on the tops of mountains. Let's discuss
(17:51):
scientifically why exactly that is. We have, you know, play
tectonics and uplift, and the tops of mountains used to
be beaches in the bottoms of the oceans. That's why
you find fish fossils and ammonites and things like that
on tops of mountains because those mountaintops used to be
bottoms of river beds and bottoms of oceans. That's just
one example. But we discuss things like that on the channel.
I don't stray away from the trolls, I don't stray
(18:12):
away from the controversy, and I just let it be real.
I edit the content over there to best serve the story.
And I don't hide anything I don't like, I said,
I don't really do take twos on things. I just
let it be authentic. If people like it, they like it.
If they don't like it, they don't like it. Turns out,
in this day and age where transparency and honesty is
(18:34):
so important, it's refreshing. I've had so many people on
one of our shorts that has gotten well over four
million views by now, it's James talking about how a
Stenia source was fossilized in this track, motalizing the track
of a horseshoe crab in a low auxygen environment that
(18:54):
got fossilized, and people in the comments are just like,
I had no idea that content like this still existed
in modern times, with all the doom scrolling and all
the fluff and all the hey look at me, and
all the flashy stuff on YouTube shorts and TikTok and
Instagram and things like that, that there was somebody out
there just doing science and telling science stories and just
(19:15):
an engaging, real way that we're not trying to get
this super polished presenter to give this like untrustworthy take
on things it's just it's somebody that they can trust,
somebody delivering it in a very authentic, real way that
people that people engage with. And that's my whole thing
over on that channel is it's a science channel and
(19:37):
it's a museum channel. Museums have this this connotation of
being kind of stuffy up, tight places, and I said,
I'm going the opposite way with our YouTube channel. I'm
going the opposite way with that. I am going against
the whatever people's popular opinion or belief or stereotype of
a museum is. I'm going the opposite way. We're just
(19:57):
real people who work here and have all this. We
have like four point five million cool artifacts to show you.
So I'm just going to show you something cool and
deliver it in an unauthentic way and then allow you
to ask questions about it in the comments and we'll
address those comments. The last podcast I just finished editing
over here, in Da Vinci Resolve, I drew that idea
(20:20):
for the podcast from a troll comment from conspiracy comments.
It was basically antagonist comments about dinosaurs and conspiracies and
that bones are radioactive and or that nobody can actually
hunt for dinosaur fossils because it's only the elite that
are allowed to look for fossils and the average person
can't do it, which is all bogus. But it was
(20:43):
that kind of trolling, misconception conspiracy theory comment that spurred
me to making a dire podcast with James Washington about
where do these theories comes from? What did the like,
where does the theory come from? What is this conspiracy
that dinosaur bones were radioactive? At first? At first you're
saying dinosaur bones weren't real. Now you're saying dinosaur bones
(21:04):
are radioactive and they're and cased and lead and what. Anyways,
I draw content ideas from that kind of interaction, and
that's what the last podcast is. It's not released yet
as of recording this Geek Therapy radio podcast, the podcast
dealing with dinosaur and paleontology conspiracies and misconceptions. That'll drop
on March first. But yeah, that's what I'm doing over
(21:27):
there at the museum. Really starting to hurt talking now,
I think that's pretty much it. I've got this little
bug in my head about about I have enough laptops,
I've got enough computers, but there's a little bug in
my head saying, maybe trade down the MacBook Pro sixteen
(21:48):
inch for a MacBook Pro fourteen inch, like a used
M one MacBook Pro fourteen inch in in an effort
to keep reducing my load for my for my everyday carry.
But I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. It
hasn't been a huge necessity right now. It hasn't reared
its head as this big necessity. This Osmo pocket has
(22:10):
dropped a pound at least from my everyday carry because
it's way lighter obviously than my than my Where is
it my s five to two X Oh, it's down here.
It's down here. I can join you off off Micha
a little bit. I've got I've even got the uh,
the lens cap a little so this is like, it's
just a lens cap. This is just not a lens
(22:32):
cap a camera body. Why am I blanking out on
the name. It's just a cover to cover the sensor.
But it has this disposable camera lens built into the
the cover here, So on a quick pinch, I can
whip this out and take pictures or video real quick
and have it look like an old nineties disposable camera,
because that's exactly what that lens is. But I don't
(22:52):
carry this every day. I haven't been for the past
few weeks because this Osmo pocket FOD that I'm recording
with has foot the bill. Here's the other YouTube button
that's going to the museum. It is unopened. Is my
address on there? Hopefully not. It's going to the museum.
That's what we'll hang out. But times winding down here.
My mouth is starting hurt. I gotta go pick up
(23:13):
my sons at daycare. So thank you so much for
watching this episode of Geek Therapy Radio. Even with my
I feel like I've been a little bit subdued in
my delivery in this episode. We are our own worst critic.
I am I almost worn critic. I am my own
worst critic in that this scenario. But anyways, thank you
(23:36):
for hanging with me. You are worthy of love, you're
worthy of giving love, you're worthy of receiving love, and
you are worthy of your own self respect. Thank you
so much for listening today. We'll see you next time.
Take care,
Welcome to Geek Therapy Radio. You've got your mental curator,
Johnny Hemburger. This is a great experiment in many ways
as I record this episode of the Geek Therapy Radio podcast.
For one, I am recording it if you're watching this
on YouTube into my newest tech toy. I guess finally,
I didn't cave, but I got the DGI Osmo Pocket three.
(00:26):
It's been out for I think over a year now.
I've heard nothing but rave reviews about it. I just
have not been able to think about where it would
fit into my kind of production flow. But the more
I thought about it, the more I came to the conclusion,
you know what, I'm just gonna get it, and I'm
gonna get it on Amazon and I will save the
receipt as they say, to see. If this doesn't work
(00:48):
in my production flow, then I can always send it back.
But so far it has been amazing, just in brief,
having ten bit video that you can color grade later,
a one in sensor, and the gimbal. The three axis
gimbal is the main star of the show here. It
has kind of it's changed the way that I do
(01:09):
my run and gun video making for the museum, specifically
my day job. I leave my Lumix S five two
X at home now and I use the the dg
Osmo dj dj I Osmo Pocket three for for most things,
because mostly just run and gun type of situations. Now,
(01:30):
if there's a planned shoot, now, if I know that
I'm gonna want the absolute, you know, the image quality
of a full frame sensor, then sure of course I'm
going to pack my Lumix S five into the backpack
and go. But most of what we do, you know,
I realize that most of what I do day to day,
at least ninety percent of the content that I make
for the museum, the one in sensor in the in
(01:52):
the gimbal and the dgi Osmo Pocket three will more
than put the bill to cover ninety percent of what
I do for them. It pairs right to my GGI
Mike's two seamlessly, so I get nice, crispy audio out
of it when I'm running and gunning. It's it's just
a great little piece of kit, as you would call it,
(02:12):
across the pond and elsewhere in the world. Something that
I'm reminded of right now as I'm talking, and I
don't know how long this podcast will be. Because of
this issue is that I got my wisdom teeth out
last week, almost exactly one week as of recording this podcast.
I had my remaining three this one, this one, and
(02:35):
this one wisdom teeth removed. And now that I'm chatting
and talking, it's getting a little difficult. I can feel
I can feel it getting a little bit irritated. But
I'll try to go so if this if this podcast
is a little bit shorter than the others, it's because
I had my wisdom teeth out recently and I probably
(02:57):
shouldn't be talking for thirty minutes non stop stream of consciousness.
But I did want to bring up another thing I
talked about the DJA Asmo Pocket three. If you're on YouTube,
you're looking at it. I've got the face tracking going
on right now, and it's doing a pretty good job
of tracking me, even though my face is halfway covered
by the microphone sometimes. But we'll see how this all
plays out. The other topic is my computer woes. I
(03:24):
I think I had mentioned, I think it did mention
in the past podcast or two that I've been having
blue screens of death on my Windows PCs. I've been
swapping processors and doing the whole thing. I've got this
fifty nine to fifty X and it was giving me
blue screens, and I did a fresh install a Windows
and blah blady blah, and then my HTPC downstairs over
there was giving me problems with the with the thirty
(03:45):
nine hundred X. I'm happy to report that those issues
seem to have resolved on the HTPC with the thirty
nine hundred X. I did a clean wipe of the
envme drive wipe, not just like, let's reformat it. I
did a complete, you know, long reformat, thorough reformat of
(04:07):
that SSD. Reinstalled Windows from scratch with the thirty nine
one hundred X in the socket, fresh new thermal paste.
I even reseeded the ram I just kind of in
the HTPC. There's only two slots. It's a mini itx board,
but I kind of just made sure both ramsticks were okay,
and then I reseeded them in opposite slots and change
it up fresh install. As a recording, I got my
(04:29):
fingers crossed it. You can see here on YouTube. As
a recording. It's been rock solid. So I think I've
got that system sorted out, and the PC that I'm
recording onto right now. I'm recording this podcast into Let
me see if I can swivel the camera around here
so you can see that I'm recording into Da Vinci
Resolved directly. Oh, you can see the other side of
my desk. There's my Universal Audio four seven ten D
(04:52):
and my taskcam interface that it's running into via light
pipe and a dad and there's my light over there.
And let me turn the camera back around and you
can see my beautiful mug again. Oh, I got to
reset the face tracking because I swiveled it around, all right.
So that's the rig I'm recording with. This is the
fifty nine fifty X. You know what, I'm gonna turn
(05:12):
the camera around since I have the freedom here with
the Osmo pocket and show you what the rig looks like.
It's kind of dark, but it's in this kind of
rack mount case here fifty nine to fifty X. Inside there,
I've got the RTX thirty ninety with its twenty four
gigabytes of wonderful v RAN thirty ninety is still a
(05:33):
baller in twenty twenty five. I know the five thousand
series has come out, but my thirty nine D my
thirty ninety has not left me wanting. But this is
the system that was giving me the most headache with
the blues, BSoDs, the blue screen to death and crashing
all the time it has been I haven't done anything
(05:54):
else to it other than I think it is kind
of settled in. I think it was at Windows driver's issue.
There's been a few Windows updates since then, and there's
been up I downloaded and install the latest in Nvidia drivers,
clean install from scratch, and it's been stable. Uh. I
(06:14):
don't want to say something wrong here, I'll let you know.
I'm rolling the audio obviously also in the Osmo Pocket three,
so if my computer crashes, I'm still gonna have audio
from the Osmo Pocket three to let you know if
it crashes mid recording. Here in Da Vinci Resolve, I'm
running at a decent overclock. The system has been stable
for the past several days. I've not run into random crashing.
(06:39):
So between the Windows updates and the new and Vidia
drivers currently things seem to be going okay. And like
I mentioned, I've got a decent I'm running in a
decent overclock mode right now. I'm at four point five
two five gigahertz across all sixteen cores right now. My
voltage me, I think it's one point to something. Let
(07:01):
me double check that in my in Rise and Master.
Uh so four point five two five gigahertz at one
point two eight one two five vaults. So I'm doing
okay here, it's stable. That's like the maximum overclock under
full load. With the CPU cooler that I have. It's
(07:23):
a noc to a something I forget. Uh, it's a
it's a beefy air cooler. It is not liquid cooled.
There's an air cooler. Under a sustain load, I can
hover around, you know, eighty five degrees on this processor,
which is a little high. But this is my maximum
overclock settings. Obviously, just recording audio into DaVinci Resolve, the
(07:45):
CPU is currently consuming fifty two watts. As I'm looking
at the meter here in core temp, the temperature is
forty nine degree C. I'm not pushing the system hard.
It's it's doing just fine. But when I do push
the system hard, it'll creep around eighty five degree C
under full load. And again that's the maximum all core
(08:05):
over clock four point five two five gigaherts at one
point whatever volts. I just said, so usually I don't
rock the system prolonged like that. I've got another setting
in my Rise and Master that has all core four
point two gigaherts at like one point one something bolts
really nice and cool. I keep my fans running nice
and low, nice and quiet. But the system is stable.
(08:30):
And that's good because, like I had talked about in
previous episodes, in my Amazon cart I have a seventy
nine to fifty X and an AM five motherboard and
DDR five AM. I was like, all right, if my
system is unstable, if I can't get my main desktop
stable with this fifty nine to fifty X, then I
might just have to mite the bullet and do an upgrade.
(08:53):
I have not upgrade platforms obviously since AM four. I
think I built this rig in twenty nineteen, twenty twenty thereabouts,
so it's twenty twenty five. Now. I am well within
my normal parameters of if I do a system upgrade,
a big leap. I wait every two to three years.
I'm on year five at least with this setup, and
(09:15):
it's still going strong. It has not left me wanting.
I've just recently exported a big, giant four K thirty
minute long video with film grain emulation and all that
going on it for the museum. It's a podcast. I'm
gonna plug the podcast, the Beyond the Bones podcast HMNS
Beyond the Bones podcast. You should subscribe to it. Look
for the purple color scheme over there. I've been linking
(09:38):
it in these podcast descriptions, so be sure to check
it out over there. I am distracted by the pain
in my mouth. It is not throbbing, it is not
anything insane right now, but I think I am going
to wrap this podcast up short here in a minute
or two, because I don't want to push it now.
A week into it. I've taken all my antim biotics.
(10:00):
I've taken the steroids whatever, all the stuff they prescribe
to you. I have not taken the hydrocodone. I don't.
I have not needed it, and I don't like to
take heavy prescriptions like that. If I don't need it, thankfully,
i'd be profen and tailenol has been handling the pain.
So right now I'm just taking one advil and one thaileanol,
(10:21):
and that is managing the pain. And I'm only taking
it as needed. But it is as I'm talking here.
It's it's they're they're getting a little irritated. A week
into it, the suture should have, you know, healed nicely.
They are healed nicely. Again. I'm not experiencing any problems
with my getting my wisdom teeth removed. I'm very happy
that they're they're gone, but it's affecting my voice a
(10:44):
little bit. I don't think I'm being as charismatic and
as animated in this podcast, at least as I as
I usually am, because I feel I feel a little
bit more monotone in this podcast because I'm like babying
these fresh wounds, so to speak, in my mouth. When
(11:05):
did y'all get your wisdom teeth out? I'm just curious.
I'm forty one years old. I got them out at
forty one years old. Normally people get them out twenty
years before then, you get them out around eighteen nineteen,
twenty years old. That's what most people do. But my
dentists throughout the years, he's just like, are their wisdom
teeth bothering you? And then like not really, And they're like, okay,
well then we'll just leave them alone. I say, but
(11:27):
you can just anyways. I finally got them taken out,
did the general anesthesia, which is the only way in
my opinion, to do a procedure like this. Although I
had one wisdom tooth removed in two twenty twelve ish
because it exploded down to the root and caused me
the most one of the most excruciating three days of
my life, because I couldn't get to a dentist for
(11:49):
at least forty eight hours since the tooth you up exploded.
I call it exploded because it shattered in right down
to the route and I couldn't escape the pain. For
I couldn't sla for three days. It was unimaginable if
you're from Houston. I walked around Montrose on Monday morning,
twenty twelve, at like seven am, six thirty in the morning,
just knocking on dentist doors, Can you please take this
(12:11):
tooth out of my mouth? And they took this one,
my bottom right wisdom tooth out with just novacane. And
in fact, as soon as they injected me with the
novacane into my jaw, I started to fall asleep because
it was the first relief I had felt in three
days of sleeplessness and agony. But these last three wisdom teeth,
general anesesia worth every penny to have general anesthesia, to
(12:38):
be knocked out called for a procedure like this, I
would be okay if it was just novacane and some
laughing gas. I've never actually had the laughing gas, never
actually had nitrous, but when it was an option, it
was a very nice dentist Fort Ben Dental. Shout out
Fort Ben Dental here in Missouri City, Texas, just off
Highway six was made like we do general anesthesia. I
(13:02):
was like, you do, Can I have that? I will
pay extra for that because that sounds very nice to
not feel anything. So yeah, I had that procedure done
last week. It's I'm still managing the pain. Was there
anything else that I wanted to mention? I mentioned that
I'm recording here now at the video at least with
(13:23):
my Osmo Pocket three, and it's been a wonderful addition
to my run and Gun rig. It's all in my
effort to minimize what I carry with me, to make
it lightweight and make things more effective for my content
creation at the museum. The Museum YouTube channel that I
(13:44):
Manage and run is now at one hundred and thirty
seven thousand followers as of recording this right today. So
I got the YouTube plaque for it. Let me put
it right here, So that's pretty cool. I ordered a
couple of them, one that we can hang up in
our museum, in our office in one for me here
(14:05):
to put back behind me. So that's pretty cool. You're
watching this on my geek therapy radio channel, obviously, come
on tracking it lost my face. So you're watching this
on geek Therapy radio obviously. And I am nowhere near
one hundred thousand. I have no putting nowhere near the
time or effort into this channel that is required to
bring a channel to over one hundred thousand subscribers. But
(14:30):
it feels good, man, feels good to have grown a channel.
When I first start at the museum, the channel is
at like three thousand subscribers, and now it's at one
hundred and thirty hundred and thirty six thousand. Whatever it is,
I've actually it's so it's I stopped counting day to
day the subscribers, which is a weird flex. Not a
(14:51):
weird flex, but not a flex. I'd ever thought I'd
be mentioning, Yeah, in like the secret Sauce to the
at my mouth hurts, and I don't want to say
so much. Right now, I need to add this podcast.
But the secret sauce to that is number one, keep uploading,
like keep making. It's my day job. So that is
(15:13):
what I do over there on the Houston Museum and
Actual Science YouTube channel is you have to constantly upload,
keep uploading. You have to make content. You know, I
upload something probably three or four times a week at least,
and then you listen to the audience and you see
the videos that track well, which videos track what subject
matter tracks the most? And over on our YouTube channel,
(15:36):
it's a paleontology, dinosaurs kind of things. So I like
to show people something cool. I've learned to get to
the right, to the point like shorts is a major
reason why the YouTube channel hasn't grown so much and
just kind of cut into the chase of content, Grab
them quickly and keep when we have like two to
three seconds maximum nowadays to hold somebody's attention. So so
(15:58):
don't make big law extended intros, don't add a whole
lot of fluff here. Just get to it. That's one thing,
there's no magic formula. The other thing is show them
something cool. Educate them, show them something cool. And my
personal philosophy that I've applied to our museum channel is
honesty and transparency. Not every single thing that I upload
(16:20):
to our channel over on the Houston Museum and Natural
Science is the super duper highly polished material. A lot
of it is, but a lot of it is also
just I let the subject or the person presenting be themselves.
For instance, one of our superstars over on the channel,
his name is James Washington. He's an educator at the
(16:42):
Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the community loves James Washington,
and it's just James being himself. I don't edit him down,
I don't reshoot, I don't do take twos or anything
with him. I just let him shine, his personality shine.
He's he's a geek like us, and I gravitate towards that.
I just I feel like I'm rubbing my head a lot,
but it's just because my mouth hurts. I just let
(17:04):
the characters, more or less as I refer to them
on the channel, be themselves. I don't hide things, and
I really let the audience dictate where the content moves.
There's a lot of controversy about surrounding paleontology and dinosaurs,
and there's a lot of people out there. I won't
mention names that still think, for whatever reason, that dinosaur
(17:26):
fossils are fake or they're a hoax or whatever. It's like, Well,
you know that's actually content. Let's address the underlying issue
there of why people and then the year twenty twenty five
still think dinosaur fossils aren't real or don't understand the
fossilization process, or you know, are confused why there's seashells
and ocean fossils on the tops of mountains. Let's discuss
(17:51):
scientifically why exactly that is. We have, you know, play
tectonics and uplift, and the tops of mountains used to
be beaches in the bottoms of the oceans. That's why
you find fish fossils and ammonites and things like that
on tops of mountains because those mountaintops used to be
bottoms of river beds and bottoms of oceans. That's just
one example. But we discuss things like that on the channel.
I don't stray away from the trolls, I don't stray
(18:12):
away from the controversy, and I just let it be real.
I edit the content over there to best serve the story.
And I don't hide anything I don't like, I said,
I don't really do take twos on things. I just
let it be authentic. If people like it, they like it.
If they don't like it, they don't like it. Turns out,
in this day and age where transparency and honesty is
(18:34):
so important, it's refreshing. I've had so many people on
one of our shorts that has gotten well over four
million views by now, it's James talking about how a
Stenia source was fossilized in this track, motalizing the track
of a horseshoe crab in a low auxygen environment that
(18:54):
got fossilized, and people in the comments are just like,
I had no idea that content like this still existed
in modern times, with all the doom scrolling and all
the fluff and all the hey look at me, and
all the flashy stuff on YouTube shorts and TikTok and
Instagram and things like that, that there was somebody out
there just doing science and telling science stories and just
(19:15):
an engaging, real way that we're not trying to get
this super polished presenter to give this like untrustworthy take
on things it's just it's somebody that they can trust,
somebody delivering it in a very authentic, real way that
people that people engage with. And that's my whole thing
over on that channel is it's a science channel and
(19:37):
it's a museum channel. Museums have this this connotation of
being kind of stuffy up, tight places, and I said,
I'm going the opposite way with our YouTube channel. I'm
going the opposite way with that. I am going against
the whatever people's popular opinion or belief or stereotype of
a museum is. I'm going the opposite way. We're just
(19:57):
real people who work here and have all this. We
have like four point five million cool artifacts to show you.
So I'm just going to show you something cool and
deliver it in an unauthentic way and then allow you
to ask questions about it in the comments and we'll
address those comments. The last podcast I just finished editing
over here, in Da Vinci Resolve, I drew that idea
(20:20):
for the podcast from a troll comment from conspiracy comments.
It was basically antagonist comments about dinosaurs and conspiracies and
that bones are radioactive and or that nobody can actually
hunt for dinosaur fossils because it's only the elite that
are allowed to look for fossils and the average person
can't do it, which is all bogus. But it was
(20:43):
that kind of trolling, misconception conspiracy theory comment that spurred
me to making a dire podcast with James Washington about
where do these theories comes from? What did the like,
where does the theory come from? What is this conspiracy
that dinosaur bones were radioactive? At first? At first you're
saying dinosaur bones weren't real. Now you're saying dinosaur bones
(21:04):
are radioactive and they're and cased and lead and what. Anyways,
I draw content ideas from that kind of interaction, and
that's what the last podcast is. It's not released yet
as of recording this Geek Therapy radio podcast, the podcast
dealing with dinosaur and paleontology conspiracies and misconceptions. That'll drop
on March first. But yeah, that's what I'm doing over
(21:27):
there at the museum. Really starting to hurt talking now,
I think that's pretty much it. I've got this little
bug in my head about about I have enough laptops,
I've got enough computers, but there's a little bug in
my head saying, maybe trade down the MacBook Pro sixteen
(21:48):
inch for a MacBook Pro fourteen inch, like a used
M one MacBook Pro fourteen inch in in an effort
to keep reducing my load for my for my everyday carry.
But I'll cross that bridge when we come to it. It
hasn't been a huge necessity right now. It hasn't reared
its head as this big necessity. This Osmo pocket has
(22:10):
dropped a pound at least from my everyday carry because
it's way lighter obviously than my than my Where is
it my s five to two X Oh, it's down here.
It's down here. I can join you off off Micha
a little bit. I've got I've even got the uh,
the lens cap a little so this is like, it's
just a lens cap. This is just not a lens
(22:32):
cap a camera body. Why am I blanking out on
the name. It's just a cover to cover the sensor.
But it has this disposable camera lens built into the
the cover here, So on a quick pinch, I can
whip this out and take pictures or video real quick
and have it look like an old nineties disposable camera,
because that's exactly what that lens is. But I don't
(22:52):
carry this every day. I haven't been for the past
few weeks because this Osmo pocket FOD that I'm recording
with has foot the bill. Here's the other YouTube button
that's going to the museum. It is unopened. Is my
address on there? Hopefully not. It's going to the museum.
That's what we'll hang out. But times winding down here.
My mouth is starting hurt. I gotta go pick up
(23:13):
my sons at daycare. So thank you so much for
watching this episode of Geek Therapy Radio. Even with my
I feel like I've been a little bit subdued in
my delivery in this episode. We are our own worst critic.
I am I almost worn critic. I am my own
worst critic in that this scenario. But anyways, thank you
(23:36):
for hanging with me. You are worthy of love, you're
worthy of giving love, you're worthy of receiving love, and
you are worthy of your own self respect. Thank you
so much for listening today. We'll see you next time.
Take care,
