This is mostly a launch announcement. I've been collaborating with some folks on Discord and Twitch to do what we love doing,:c help people, including ourselves, stream and get paid to do it. My effort is at https://www.twitch.tv/barkeaterj, where my bio is something like:
"A healthy dose of DIY (tech, gardening, music, braining, & more) with a bit of news, politics, spirituality, & general stream-of-consciousness, from an over-50 veteran, dichotomy destroyer & enby living in the Adirondack State Park in NY, bringing you the construction of a safe space for creators. "
I'll be streaming a lot of what I do, not just talk about stuff other people said. There'll be guests, too! Some may be over amateur radio! But the idea is to get things done while sharing and learning, and contributions are greatly appreciated. Being able to hire another set of hands to actually build stuff would be great, even if it is only a few hours a week. The amount of sweat equity available is amazing!
Alas this is winter, certainly not the time to build much anything more complicated than a fire. So this is when we figure out how to play with Twitch, how to connect with other with it and discord, how to stream, and how to make it part of building what is happening here.
If you are interested in any aspect of streaming on twitch or youtube, let me know and we'll go from there!
Aloha!
