We have been working hard to make screencasting.com the comprehensive destination for all things screencasting. 🎉 We're excited to announce FIVE new courses 🎉 • How to Screencast • Screenflow • Premiere Pro • DaVinci Resolve • Final Cut Pro But that's not all!
If you've signed up for the Mostly Technical party and can't make it, please free up your spot so folks on the waiting list can get in🤝
@MostlyTechPod any extra space ever open up for the event? I was really hoping to go. 🤙🏻
This week Ian & @aarondfrancis talk about the game we'll all be playing during next week's pre-@LaraconUS Mostly Technical Party - the Hot Takes Game. Sound off in the comments with your best show related hot takes so we can use them in the game!

Congrats to the team at @MarathonFusion for identifying a plausible, scalable process for transmuting mercury into gold. This is something that drove Isaac Newton insane.

I won't be able to attend Laracon this year. I'll really miss being there, (especially the inaugural Mostly Technical meetup w/@aarondfrancis ) but it's just not in the cards for me this year. That being said, if anyone wants to snag my ticket (for free), DM me! 🎟️

Ok, @aarondfrancis does it too. I started questioning whether my 1280x720 HiDPI screen resolution setting while recording is still the way to go 😅 Got those tips from the @eggheadio folks years ago 🙏 (also, yes I'm going through Aaron's screencasting course. big recommend)
The past is a foreign land
My neighbor' house is a Sears & Roebuck ordered home from 1921. 😎
