Intro

This is totally off-topic for this site normally. But we had a bit of a storm yesterday at about 20:30 UTC+2, and it seemed worth a share.

Some of my footage has been featured (with permission) on the news. There were two segments:

  1. A short summary that included 2 (possibly 3) shots of mine, without credit.
  2. The full story that included 1 shot of mine, with credit.

Here is the broadcast, although I haven’t found a way to link to the specific section, so it’s going to get harder and harder to find. For copyright reasons, I can’t upload their broadcast without investing more time than I’m willing to invest for this to get permission.

I do some really cool projects, like being able to control a computer without a keyboard or mouse. If that interests you, I suggest browsing around, or taking a look at my YouTube channel.
