Patrons Only Preview

Guys, I wanted to give you a Patrons-Only-Preview of an upcoming video. I used the miro to shoot some slow motion of hummingbirds. I then removed their food source until the only way they could get food was from me.... directly. Here's a screen capture from the slow motion. It was scary because I thought they were going to peck my eyes. Again, this is a Patrons-Only-Preview, please don't share it with anyone or anywhere. The image file should be located at the top right of this post. Than...

Today's infographic features a fire breathing bird.

Enjoy!

July Digital Art

Hey guys, for this month's digital art, I thought you'd like the highest res version of this sunflower picture I took in our garden. I grow sunflowers every year. This is the first awesome one of the year! I've included 2 files that you can download by clicking the 2 blue links up at the top. The second one I edited by bumping up saturation and contrast. I hope you love them! The sunflower thing means a great deal to me. Fun fact, the first time I ever tried to crowd fund my kids college...

A personal note from my State Senator!

Hey Guys check this out! My State Senator somehow was reading a local University Magazine that had me in it. He took the time to write me a personal note and mail it to me! How cool is that! If you click that blue box to download the file right there ↗ on the Patreon post you can see the file left-side up. This is the same State Senator that helped me get a law changed several years ago! I guess this goes to show you that not all politicians are unhelpful! Sorry about the photo rotation...

Coral Reef Infographic

I didn't know this... but there are several types of reefs. Check it out! High Res Link: http://i.imgur.com/XL4i7yI.png Also.... the music links are going out over the next couple of days. Some people indicated that they haven't got the song yet. It's on the way! Not sure why, but Gordon's distribution method drags it out over a couple of days. Thanks again! Destin

Inbound Music!

Gordon just sent out this Month's music! Be sure to check your spam folders if you don't see it! Thanks again for all your support! FYI, right now I'm working on a video called "How fish eat". I didn't realized exactly how it worked, and I'm quite excited to pass along the awesome stuff I learned (while filming in slow motion)! Regards, Destin

Physics Q&A VidCon 2014 Destin Derek & Henry

Here's the vidcon Physics Q&A panel with Henry and Derek. When I asked my wife afterwards what she thought she said "You definitely made yourself look dumber than you really are". So there you have it. My wife thinks I make myself look dumb in this. Feel free to form your own opinions. By the way, this was videoed by a Patron from here on Patreon! Thank you very much Dr_Boom!

Successful video hangout!

Hey guys! I had fun with you tonight on the Video Q&A! We successfully dropped a cat live on air, chatted with Kristy who plays Wheelchair soccer, and hung out with Kevin, a Math Professor at Pepperdine. Just a quick poll, what night of the week would work best for your guys? We've done Wednesday night twice now and I wanted to know if there's another night that would work better. I'm also thinking I obviously need to give a much better heads up so you can plan to join if you so choose....
