I got a response from @davidja521 regarding the proposed encampment service depots in #ldnont.

Let's take a look at each question.

Time for another thread. For context, here's yesterday's thread.

As I was unable to book a meeting ahead of the council vote on approving funding for the service depots, I sent in my questions by e-mail.

Next week #ldnont council votes on funding proposed "service depots" for homeless encampments.

Last thread, I mentioned that @davidja521 said he's unable to meet by Zoom and asked I email my questions.

So I did. And here they are.

Thread time! 🧡 For context, here's the previous thread detailing the current situation.

After looking at the surveys and reading over some reports, I'm left with a few questions regarding these depots.

@StevensonLDN raised some questions too at council.

Let's talk about why @clickup's #LevelUp2023 is a masterpiece and the new benchmark in virtual events going forward.

It is so well-produced. Compelling.

A benchmark in how serious brands need to market themselves using events in 2023.

THREAD. Image Amazing sound and visuals.

The sound was crystal-clear.

The camera work was perfect.

The set design was superb.

They sweated over the little details. It shows.

It's compelling to watch. No Zoom Fatigue here. Image

If you're getting started in content creation, you've probably looked around at microphones.

There are tons out there.

Condenser, dynamic, USB, XLR...

Which one should you use?

What mic is best for you?

Time to answer these questions with a MICROPHONE MEGA-THREAD. First, let's talk about connection type.

Your two main connectors are XLR and USB.

USB mics are easier to use.

XLR mics require an audio interface to convert XLR to USB.

If you're just getting started, USB is fantastic. Plug and play, hit record, done.

My people have been attending hybrid and virtual events for the last two weeks.

My main event guy had this to say:

"People don't know how to do hybrid."

Here's the TOP THREE major issues he found with the hybrids he attended online.

🧡 #1: In-person audience asking questions off-mic.

Your online audience needs to be able to hear every question.

If they can't, it's seconds (to minutes) of silence for the online audience.

Then the chat gets flooded with "what was the question!?!?"

Sucky experience.

One simple trick is all it takes to make you look awesome on camera.

And it's free.

Everyone is on camera these days. Whether for podcasts or YouTube videos, you need to look your best.

Why blow that first impression?

Ready to look your best? Here we go. 🧡 Tip 1: Clean your camera lens.

Most webcams on laptops are at the top-center of your screen.

Where do you open your laptop?

Top-center.

Look at it now.

Probably looks like a mini version of the Exxon Valdez around your camera.

A quick wipe with a cloth is all it takes.

Image Many online events pre-22 were cheap recreations of in-person.

Tons of speakers.

Lots of content.

Little connection.

Low quality control.

Thus, Zoom Fatigue was born.

People were tired of listening to horrid audio all day. Image

"Online events can't replace in-person networking."

Disagree.

I think online can be 𝘣𝘦𝘡𝘡𝘦𝘳 for networking than in-person.

Networking in each space is π—±π—Άπ—³π—³π—²π—Ώπ—²π—»π˜. Not better or worse.

Why? 🧡: Say you're at an event. Who do you talk to?

Everybody?

How long do you have to talk to someone?

A minute or two?

At an event with 150 people you'd need 5 hours to talk with everyone for TWO minutes each.

That doesn't scale. Your connections are down to chance.

Thoughts on permanent exit from the pandemic. A thread.

I keep having conversations with friends and family about "when do you think the pandemic will end?"

Here's when.

Note - I am not a doctor nor do I play one on TV. This is a thought experiment. To make a permanent exit, the cost of treating those with severe COVID must be low.

That means we need:
- a healthy population with no underlying conditions (hard)
- know who will have bad outcomes b/c of genetics, etc. (Also hard)

Or...
