Stuck inside

We needed a bit of rain now, the fire hazard was huge and the plants were drying out. However, as I don’t yet have my inside workspace, I am stuck inside and can’t bring the ideas I have to life.

Instead though, I am taking the time after my day job to search for flips and listing flips online. I posted about some DVDs I got for free and haven’t yet gone through all of them. I did find two items I now have listed on my eBay store! Chris Rock, Bigger Blacker and the action movie Wanted! Both are listed as auctions, and both start at just $1. I also listed a Kodak EK160-EF instant camera, starting at just $9.

First time in almost a year that I’ve listed something on eBay. I think I might start using eBay more the coming time, as the international market is way bigger than posting for Norwegians on Finn.no… Facebook Marketplace is another option I’m considering, and I might try a project of matching them against each other.

Now I want the rain to cease and the temperature in the range of 15 deg. C. That way I can get outside and take apart the things I need to in order to create the things I have in mind.

Content creation

Good afternoon (or morning) and a very Happy New Year!
Here’s what I’ve been up to the last few days. I dug out my Wacom tablet and have been practicing drawing again, which I’ve always wanted to learn and be proficient doing. This quill was just something I threw together while doodling… I only wish I had the mental “stamina” to keep drawing, instead of opting to watch videos, streams and what-not… Laziness I guess…

The first couple of days back drawing, I spent with Pokémon. They’re fun to draw and also somewhat simple in their design (at least some of them).

As far as content creation (YouTube) and streaming (twitch), I’ve been dormant for a very long time, but I’m planning on making a return shortly. This week I purchased an Elgato Stream Deck Controller and have been playing with that as well. Man, that thing is a game changer! One thing I need to update before I can make a decent video, is lighting. I’m looking to LED lights, but I won’t purchase video lights. Something else though.

Once the lights are in house, I’ll try to make a video on the deck because it’s just that great. I’ve been creating profiles and scenes in OBS Studio, getting ready to make some content again! HellYeah!!
