Sooo, (searching for the correct term of art) I did a thing. And that thing, done a couple of days ago, was a live stream show.

The explanation follows, in this edition of the live stream show:

This is a nice show Dave. The content, video, and audio come across loud and clear. I am looking forward to more like this in the future. I hope that YouTube does not try to mess with you.

Thank you sir! The audio seems to be consistent, so I’m pleased with that. It took a bit to figure out how to do the video and graphics, etc., work them while talking, all in real time. Kinda fun being board op, camera dude, and producer and host all in one. Chicory coffee helps.
I expect Capt Harris will zero in on the iceberg’s white privilege. Seems obvious, no?
And that most of it is actually hiding below the surface, out of sight.
