I was a founding maintainer of Ollama, the first evangelist at Datadog, and a former organizer of DevOps Days Seattle, DevOps Days Boston, and Serverless Days Boston. I am passionate about gadgets and AI and automation. Some folks don't think that word is appropriate, but it totally fits here. If you meet me in person you will see me light up when I can share with you my latest gadget, tool, or utility. And this is where I get to share that with all of you. You can find more about me at my website (technovangelist.com) or on Twitter (twitter.com/technovangelist)

I just hit 80,000 subs and that is incredible. I went all in on YouTube about 18 months ago after sitting at around 4000 subs for a few years. It’s so exciting to see how many of you enjoy the content I put out. I was thinking of doing some sort of giveaway as I get closer to 100k. Any thoughts on what I should look at doing for this?

I have a second channel now to experiment with different ideas and thoughts. Here’s something I tried out today. I took a walk in a local park and thought out loud about n8n, how I make videos, and playing around with an ai video editor. Let me know what you think.

Yesterday I posted a video showcasing Perplexity's 1776. I thought it was fascinating to see how R1 had the information inside it but was restricted. Perplexity brought it to the surface. But it was kinda shocking to see how many comments were about other models i wasn't talking about and that censorship either needs to be eliminated entirely, or that it isn't a big deal...just don't ask.

Yesterdays video on MSTY is doing pretty good. Have you seen it yet? Taking a break from the screen right now. It’s a pretty great view.

Recently, YouTube added a feature that seems cool at first. They will automatically translate the transcript to a bunch of languages and even auto dub the videos. Is it any good? I have heard that German is terrible. Are the other languages just as bad?

I have a new video coming tomorrow..... it's an apology of sorts and a fix to an earlier video. Check out that older video and see if you can figure out what I did wrong.
