00:40 Elgato Cam Link 4K
Rob wants to make his TWITCH streaming look better, wrote Patrick, “That video shot at home for the 1660 looked awesome. How did you do that?” Easy: Elgato’s Cam Link 4k (half the price of Magewell’s capture dongle), a Sony a6000 camera and 35mm F1.8 lens, and some tinkering. We review the Cam Link 4K and the challenges of digital camera videography in the show! (Here’s the FixedIt video we mentioned!)

Century 7 Day Heavy Duty Digital Programmable Timer - Dual Outlet.” Matt, aka @endpoint101 tweets, "here's another alternative for controlling mains sockets.. This uses a Raspberry Pi and wirelessly controlled sockets from Energenie costing about £20"

23:23 Digitizing Tapes at Costco
@Crashbox tweets, "Costco offers video digitalization. Used it recently for a couple old VHS tapes w/good results. Video yearbooks from HS. Would share the results but there's the 'rights to others likenesses' thing. Also it was the early 90s. The fashion. It burns." Thanks!!!docs

24:49 Do Something Analog
Like throw axes. This is epic. Srsly epic. Ben wrote in, “My analog pick is going out and throwing Axes (hatchets) at the local facility (www.urbanaxes.com). My sister signed me up for a league for a birthday gift. It is challenging and a lot of fun, the community is very supportive even if you are new because they remember what it was like to not be nearly as good as they are now.” Very cool!
