We have our Robo voice. Once again, yes, welcome everyone to demystifying Gutenberg. I'm really excited about this topic because whenever I have a session, I'm usually fiddling around with the WP admin with folks. And I think Gutenberg is just one thing where people are like, what does this mean how does it affect me and if I wanted to use it how can I use it. So in this session I hope we can kind of demystify that aspect of it by talking about what it is. How does it contribute to WordPress today what you're using currently right now if you're on the latest version, and also demonstrate how it can extend the block editor experience as well. And then if we have any time and if we didn't get to your questions as we go through the session, we can also dive into more questions. So also, when I say demonstrate I'll be going into the back end to clarify there. All right diving in what is Gutenberg. So Gutenberg is a is WordPress's block editor. This is what was introduced in oh my gosh December 2018 already is four years ago. You probably didn't notice it too much because it was, it's really a multi phase project so little bits here and there of this code named Gutenberg project. Now the block editor have been introduced into the WordPress core ecosystem ever since. But what this does, what this did was introduce a modular approach to modifying your entire site so that's that block modular approach. And this just allows people to have more individual edit freedom to edit content blocks on posts and pages, you can add or adjust widgets with this technology. You can even design your site headers footers navigation in this kind of site editing support experience as well so it contributes to a lot of aspects of your site now that maybe you weren't aware of. And as part of its guiding goals, Gutenberg touches this project code name Gutenberg touches on four major parts of WordPress and that is the editing experience customization of the site collaboration with editors for example and multi lingual to break that a little further so editing easier editing just simplifying the editor experience I know there's still some people that deeply use like the classic editor for example. But that experience well it's not going away and it's being introduced in block form now so if you're still, you know like I love that experience so much you can still have it but now it's a block so we want to ensure that you know we don't just stay within the classic editing realm, it'll with these new blocks that are being developed, there should be an easier editorial process that comes with it. And then when it comes to cool customization, ooh, full site editing which is now the site editor experience so I should correct this slide. And that's part of what Gutenberg project is contributing to also block patterns, those kind of like templated forms that you can just plug and play block directory, and any block based themes, the code that is being developing Gutenberg contributes to that as well. On this third phase here, a collaboration is something that is going to be a major player coming up. And I've watched a little a very short one or two minute video with a breakdown of all of these but that is essentially being able to co author content being potentially in the same post as someone else, like you would with a Google doc, actively collaborating on creating an editor, which is an experience for maybe large editorial teams that would be pretty phenomenal right to just be able to dive into one doc, and not have to copy over into your site afterward you can just work directly within your WordPress site.  That is phase four because it's been noted as a very hefty project to take on, though not impossible. So to get a bit more detail into this. I wanted to share with you all just a clip from state of the word, which is an annual event that is put on where the WordPress.org. Director Matt Mullenwick is essentially talking about what's new and coming up for WordPress so let me share my sound real quick. And let's see what he had to say. To remind you, we laid out a plan many years ago which we're still following. Can people hear the sound? Okay, and please let me know if it's too low. Phases of Gutenberg. Just to remind everyone, 2018 we started the first phase of Gutenberg. Okay, let me update the sound. Oh yeah, it is very low there. To remind you, we laid out a plan many years ago which we're still following today around the four phases of Gutenberg. Just to remind everyone, 2018 we started the first phase of Gutenberg which was around easier editing. This was the introduction of the block editor and the idea that the block editor will be able to edit everything inside the post box. So we were thinking inside the box with blocks. We are currently in the middle, phase two of Gutenberg, which we originally started in 2019 but it's all around customization. This is thinking outside of the post box. All the things I showed you earlier while you're to edit your entire site using this concept of blocks is happening now. And what's beautiful about this is one, all the plugins and things that used to have consciousness interfaces which are now being built on the Gutenberg framework inherit all the work we put into accessibility, keyboard navigation, everything that's built in the Gutenberg, the clean code, et cetera. Also, when new users come to WordPress or new existing WordPress users are learning Gutenberg, they only have to learn things once. It used to be that the way to edit a widget or create something using a short code and a post, there were like four or five ways to essentially do the same thing inside of WordPress. And we're now consolidating this all to this one block interface inside of the blocks are like Lego blocks that they can be used anywhere. With 5.9, which is coming out next month, we are, I would say, at the MVP, the minimum viable product of this customization phase of Gutenberg. So I want to remind you of the next two phases that we're heading into. The third phase of Gutenberg is going to be around collaboration. Note, I listed the start of 2023, not next year. It's because I think we don't want to leave phase two too early because there's still so much to do. I'm forgetting the number, but how many block themes were there? Is it like 38, 28? 28. That needs to be 5,000. We need to really invest a lot in creating patterns and themes that take advantage of all these blocks. It's the new standard thing. If you look at what block editor plugins have been doing, and it's kind of a balkanized proprietary way, we now have a standard way to do within WordPress. And the more we can invest into that, the more that it will enable people to create really unique web presences. And then finally, which we don't have a year attached to, and in WordCamp Europe, I get a really hard time for, is the idea of multilingual. So we want to take everything we just talked about and essentially allow you to publish sites in multiple languages with a workflow that makes sense because the world is multilingual. It's basically the best way to put it. Okay, so that I should have prefaced it with. That was late 2021. So when you're saying next year, talking about this year, which we already went through, and as you may have noted, 5.9 is now so far away. We're at 6.1. So it's kind of interesting to look back at this video and see all of the hopes in what we could accomplish this year and then also what has been accomplished. Anyone who has been fiddling with the block editor will probably notice a lot of the things that were noted have come to pass. So, if you're interested, there's going to be another state of the word very, very soon. I want to link you to that. This is basically where you get the latest news. Yeah, the 2023 prediction Linda says it's pretty spot on. Yeah, I'm like, I'm really hoping for that collaboration next year. But the next one is coming we'll get more updates about this for sure in that session so please mark your calendars there will also be a video afterward if you are not able to do the live stream. And then I, looking back at that, you know, not only would ambitiously said 5000 block themes, but of course that requires people to be able to create them and understand how to do so so I took a look just now and it looks like we have about 185 block themes, which is still pretty good from what did you say like about 25 or something, you know, low 30s that we had at the end of last year so you can also contribute to this ambition of having a lot of black block themes it doesn't have to be a code based that you do this. There's also a create block theme plugin, which allows you to to create block themes as well so if you have a moment. This is totally a little tangent but if you want to be creative you can create your own block theme and add to that currently 185. And yes, thank you for noting Courtney there's some WordPress meetups are ranging that are ranging block block parties, maybe a block party to put a watch party for this. So, if you have a local group you should totally meet up with them and watch it together. Alright, continuing along. So now that we understand a bit more about the phases of Gutenberg, why it came to be. I'm sure people are still like but why why would I use this why would I add this to my site so what it gives you is essentially when you install the Gutenberg plugin because that's how you get the new features it allows you to just unlock experimental and beta features and improvements that may be introduced to WordPress core block editor so you're essentially getting a front row seat to, as they say the cutting edge of what's possible with the block editor so if that's something exciting to you. You can definitely install this plugin and it doesn't have to be on a live production site you can play with it on the local environment or staging site, but it just allows you to extend the block editor further and allow you to try exciting features before release. It also gives you a chance to engage with the makers of this. You can also engage to share like what works and what doesn't you can become part of the feedback loop as well when you engage with Gutenberg in this way. And with that note, I definitely wanted to note that you can give back to Gutenberg so since it puts you on that cutting edge that means you're also some of the first eyes that see all of these interesting new features that are coming to be. I want to interest you if you are more developmentally savvy savvy, you can definitely contribute code wise and there's a GitHub repo where you can do that. And then there's other ways to contribute to that don't have to be as technical. You could contribute on the design side the documentation side we always need people to document things. You can learn how to use it while triaging support so if you maybe are great technical project manager and you want to help with making sure the issues that they're going to tackle are prioritized or future requests are input you can definitely help with that and then internationalization. If you are a speaker of another language or multiple languages we always need folks to help out and make sure that we can spread this technology across the globe. So I'm going to pause there before we jump into a little demo here. I wanted to ask if anyone had any questions that about what I've gone through that I can answer for you. Well, if anything comes in. I will keep my eye on the chat. I'm always happy to stop. While we're waiting on maybe some folks to type their questions. I'll share with you the demo setup I'm using. I use local for my environment here. Latest version. Also 2023 block theme which is the newest block theme for WordPress core now if you haven't installed that yet you should give it a try. I'll show you what that looks like. And then also the latest version of WordPress which is 6.1.1 now and that was released last week. As usual I do like to give other options here. 2023 was actually labeled as accessibility ready. So in my options here Jace the first theme is also an accessibility ready theme. So we labeled accessibility ready you have to go through essentially an accessibility checklist when you're developing a theme. So, last I checked we had about for accessibility ready themes including Jason 2023. Hopefully that's increased by now but that was only a week ago. So I'm always trying to share what is available for folks and so that we can make the web a bit more accessible as well. And then we also have other local environments setups that you can use. Okay, so jumping in here to my site. Pop into this. I'll put it in the same here. So here we have my site it's just freshly loaded. There is not much on here but the default text sample page. And what I'm going to do from here is just go to plugins, add new and do a little. I'm going to put Gutenberg for some reason, but a little search in for the Gutenberg plugin. Do not be scared by the rating. We have a lot of folks that, if you read the reviews you'll know are resistant to change, and that's okay too. But don't let that deter you from installing it doesn't mean functionality wise that installing Gutenberg is going to mess up your site or anything. There are passionate people that that are giving their their input here. And if you have a review to please do share. But I've gone in, I've installed it. Now it's activated. And what does that mean what does that do for my site. So I have listed a couple of features that are only visible when you have Gutenberg enabled. I'll share some of those that I found with you today. And I'll also share I'm going to keep this tab open because it's kind of interesting to see when you deactivate it and reactivate. That's another way you can tell like what's possible with this extender Gutenberg plugin versus WordPress core. Yes, that's correct. So I noted that the current version provides warning not to use the plugin on a production site. So that's why I was noting if you have a staging environment or local environment that's definitely the best way to test these features, mostly because things are in beta right so you don't want to overly rely on something that's in beta and might not come to exist later on. So as past review and gets merged into the next release is something that you will be able to continue using. And in order to know that this is a little a very good change of pace real quick. I highly recommend folks to follow the Gutenberg new tag or even just subscribe to this site. I'm going to show you what is new in Gutenberg, essentially, and these posts come out bi weekly, and they'll show you like what's going on. What new features are being developed which updates have been made. There's a lot of work that that goes into this plugin and it's all visible to you so nothing that gets introduced should be a surprise because the team is very good at documenting what's being worked on. And if you are good in GitHub as well you can actively see them working see what issues are have been merged recently. And yes Robin noted that the two week cycle is indicative of the pace of changes being incorporated so that's pretty quick right like a two week sprint essentially of working on Gutenberg and improving it in some way or another. So with that said, you just saw something about a outline maybe if you're quick to note in the page so I'm going to open my posts here and show you what on earth that is talking about posts at new. And so when you have Gutenberg enabled and this is a feature they're actively working on. There's now this outline view. Before, and I can show you before I'm going to deactivate here. And then do a little refresh. So when I click the list view that outline goes away. And the before I'm talking about is this little icon here with the informational icon so let me put some stuff here a little content. Hi there. And then let's do another heading. H3. Say hello. Very simple, but not now that I have content on this page and I click on details, you can see here. Oh, there's the document outline. Honestly, before I read about this change I didn't even I didn't even know the document outline was there so that shows how much of the editorial capabilities. I was understood. I understood at that point, but this was available to you in this little area and it is right now in WordPress core right because this is with Gutenberg deactivated. I'm going to save my draft here. Let's activate once more and do a refresh. So this is all now compiled in the list view which I think from most folks becomes more obvious. So you can see the outline here and down below the characters words are all in one panel going forward. So people can now especially content creators can easily flip through that going forward. So this is another great feature which I hear a lot of people asking for and I'm like it's it's hopefully coming it's coming. That Gutenberg allows you to test out right now is going to do a backslash table of contents. So this is something, especially for folks who may be writing documents documentation in their website or maybe have a recipe and they want to have like a table of contents. So if you have a recipe, baking, you know, whatever it would be that composes your recipe page, they can now with with this beta, use this on their site. Since I've been away from my computer for about five days so much has changed in that short time. So this, this table of contents has been around in the Gutenberg plugin for a bit now but it just hasn't been released yet so when and then I'll just save this draft. And I want to show you when you deactivate the plugin and then refresh.  So this is, if I was only using WordPress core without Gutenberg, I wouldn't be able to use this because it's not part of that code. So Gutenberg is essentially allowing you to test this feature and I've activated it again before it comes out. But yeah, this table of contents I hear so many people saying they, they want this so I look forward to when this comes out because I know it's going to really help a lot of people's editorial workflows. Another thing I found that's pretty interesting. And I'll leave my page, my little post in draft is going back to my admin and then appearance and editor. There's going to be some fun stuff available. Okay, I'd say fun stuff it's just like stylistic changes available when you go to your style section. And I believe it doesn't do this when Gutenberg is deactivated but you get this nice little animation. And then when you click to browse the styles, you get the zoomed out effect. So then you could see very quickly at a glance. What these stylistic changes will do to your site, whereas before it would stay fully zoomed in when you're changing the style which made it a little difficult to see the rest of the page as you're going through how that changes, unless you have a really big browser window. So going back as we can play with this, I'm going to deactivate Gutenberg. I'm going to refresh this this page here. Reload. I'm going to go to styles. Yeah, that little animation didn't happen when I went to styles, browse styles and you can see here. It's not zoomed out when I select the styles. So activating once again, do my little refresh. We have that snazzy animation and the zoomed out effect. And then also what you're going to get with this that I discovered. I'm going to go back to my dashboard here without saving is something that's coming up. Hopefully pretty soon that distraction free mode. We go in here. I'm going to press now and when you click the three vertical dots in the top right corner, you'll see here that there's this distraction free mode now available. So it completely gets rid of all of the menus sidebars so that you can just focus on. You can just focus on writing your content. This is where the back slash way of adding things comes in handy unless you know keyboard shortcuts as well because you don't want to then have to be like oh no, go click the little block inserter and add something new and remove yourself from the distraction free experience. I'm going to just do a backslash and hey I've got this quote I'm going to add this here and keep working that way. I'm not quite sure like what's on the horizon for folks that don't want to use the backslash for this. I think it'll be interesting to see what they come up with like, like even here, if I click up, there isn't like the block inserter that I could do so. There's something that will happen is on the sidebar, there will be, or I just click this button here. Yeah. So that is pretty interesting. Oh, yeah, I think yeah having multiple ways to insert is going to be really critical with this. I think I hear someone shuffling with someone going to ask a question. Well, if you want to speak out your question feel free. And then doubling back to just deactivate and refresh this post post I was looking at. I'm going to restore my little autosave. Let's restore that. Yeah, the distraction free mode is gone. We just have what's called the full screen mode. Where the admin panel goes away. I never stop learning says Linda yes good me too I'm always learning these sessions in the prep for these sessions I, I really enjoy discovering these neat new things that are available to us. And another thing that I do want to share with you all is more of an organizational change that they're experimenting with now with Gutenberg, and that's when you are. When you press the block inserter inserter, pardon me, and you go to patterns right now it's kind of like a free for all right it's like, maybe over stimulation as well because you're like oh my gosh like what do I choose I don't even know what I'm looking for yet. So here is where you can, you know go in and say I want headers, or if you like the exploration feature. It's a bit more organized in my opinion. But when you have Gutenberg and I've just gone back to my plugins now activated. There's more organized patterns and section that I find to be a bit more calm to look at. So I've just refreshed my page and distraction free mode came back. Let's turn that off. And I'm going to open my block inserter and now when I click on patterns you'll see it's tech space first so it's kind of like that exploration mode. But without when you click on it, everything appearing so now it's instead of a little toggle down menu I can kind of take a moment to collect my thoughts and say yeah actually I'm looking for footers, and then you'll have the previews come out here. So they're always experimenting with not just new features but better ways of organizing how the back end can look for folks. And I believe most of the time with a accessibility focus as well. And if it's not this is a time where you can comment on accessibility as well like we're looking for folks to not only just test out the features and contribute to co development of the features but also improve the experience for for all folks so. This would be a great time if you want to contribute to share your thoughts on that as well. So Linda says Gutenberg puts the style into editing blocks. I would say yes, and it is the block editor so you know as we go back in 2018 this is what introduced this Gutenberg project is what introduced this whole block editor for some headache but also for some excitement to the world. So those are my top five feature finds and that I wanted to share. Are there any folks that have played around with Gutenberg that want to see some features that are specific to the plugin. Okay, so we have the experimental zoom feature. So this is the zoomed out view of the site editor. I believe it's actually what I showed. Let's go back to the site editor. I showed sorry it's not the whole of what I showed. So me, since I've been turning this off and on okay Gutenberg is enabled I'm going to appearance and then editor. Oh, I have to turn it on. Thank you. It's under Gutenberg and the sidebar. Let's. Yeah, I feel so silly I should have shown this little area to us let's let's look at this too so when you have the plugin enabled I think because I was flipping on and off it disappeared and reappeared as well. So you can use this Gutenberg tab as well. Let me actually go full screen mode with a couple options so you'll have the demo which I've just clicked into where you can freely without even creating a page just start playing around with the features of Gutenberg. You can also access support documentation. Okay I'm not going to do that now it wants to take me out but so here experimental settings. Oh, I'm going to thank you so much for pointing this out I need to add this in my slides for the for the next one. But yes the zoomed out view, we can enable this test and you zoomed out view in the site editor. And then of course it comes with the the warning right this is just, this is experimental right where there's nothing in here that we're not going to give you a full disclosure on. So changes, and let's check that out. Now I'm going to go into my editor here actually I want to choose this a darker being here I feel like it's going to be easier to see what's going on. Okay, and then. Now I'm like where is that thing. Oh, here it is zoom out view so top left these. I don't know about this icon but of course it's a work in progress but says zoomed out view when you when you click or hover over it, and now, similar to when we were playing around with the styles. I have the zoomed out view of my site so I can essentially see the whole of my site, instead of just a small portion, as I'm editing it. I can just open the list view as well so that I can see what is available here. So, can I, let's do a little wants me to add a pattern, which is kind of interesting as well. Insert after. So I technically can just start. It's pretty zoomed out but I can start playing around here with my site and this is also because, like, let's add some columns wow I can do this and still see the whole of my site which is pretty cool. But as it said it's experimental so I'm running into I can't click on this thing here. I need to zoom out here and yeah, and now I can click on. It could also be that my screen is really tiny for this demonstration. So that is part of that feature and I think that's pretty great tools, so you can just keep an eye on what all is going on with your site. Let's just save that. Okay, and so we had another request from Michelle. Can you sample a block with contents. Are we talking about the table of contents block Michelle. And while we're waiting for that clarification. Robin added something like this is coming which will also highlight margins and padding. Yes, like being able to see your full site and see how you're playing with the padding and margins adjustments affects it as a whole it's going to be really critical. So I'm going to show just a block going to my posts. We can go to just do Hello World. And I'm going to remove this into my full screen mode here so the sidebar goes away. So there's a couple ways I like Michelle to click on the list view to see all the blocks that are already on the page. And you can also I don't know if you've done this before but like drag and drop. I'm going to click on the list view. I also have had success with pulling from the list view and then moving it on the page itself so there's a lot of ways to just play around with the composition here you can put it, I could. I just put my paragraph inside the quote block which is pretty cool. So if you're like oh no I put this block ahead or after something. How do I move it just play around a bit like drag and drop. There's also these little toggles here. When you have it open on the page where you can move things around. So many options to insert a block the top left blue box here. So let's do. Let's not add any images to the site so let's do a columns block if I can volumes columns. Actually this could be interesting. Let's do a columns bare bones. And you have patterns to write so you don't have to be alone in your creative journey. The pattern library is a pretty great place that doesn't want to show up to me right now. What's going on here. It's a pretty great place to get inspiration as well so if I wanted to actually have some images for us to play with. I've just clicked on a pattern and added it to my site. And once that's done you can see here in the list view all of the blocks that compose this pattern, and you can start editing the content as you like. There's many ways. This is using patterns is a great way to get a composition that you might like for your site but don't know how to do yet. And from there you can kind of see the breakdown and the list view of how that was put together and learn how to do that yourself. You probably want to also have the right side bar open as well because when you click on specific blocks, you are able to see the settings that are applied to them. So these blocks are all provided to you by Gutenberg. I hope that. Okay, great, you're welcome Michelle. And just looking up here, can patterns not be shown to keep people from adding random patterns to the site. Yes, that would be a custom thing that you would do to your site though to depend. Sorry for that distraction. It would just be depending on the role that you set that they can see patterns are not on the site. Yeah, it's not usual we get that but it happens sometimes. So that was, I want to make sure scrolling up can patterns not be shown keep people from adding your friends are inside. Yes, and I think you can also lock down those kind of design aspects gene to custom of course to certain roles as well so maybe maybe some folks have access to some blocks or patterns while others don't, or just not at all. Yeah customization of the roles would can dictate the patterns. Okay, so another question with the functionality of the site editor does that mean widgets will go away someday. It's more that widgets are reborn that they'll go away and in a video in the video with with that in the state of the word video I showed earlier. We was talking about how you have more control over the widgets because instead of going into the back end which actually won't be available now and in this setting. In the before times, you would have that ability right here in the setting somewhere to like go to the widgets and you know add your your text widget and your sidebar. But now all of that would live in your your site editor experience itself so and it wouldn't necessarily be like going in here and typing widget. Maybe creating a space on your site. Maybe at this where this image is right that is quote unquote the sidebar and adding to it. Okay, so it's looking for other questions. Is there anything special that Gutenberg adds to reusable blocks. That is a good question. I am not sure about that actually. So I've just clicked on this group. I'm going to click on create reusable block testing Gutenberg, but I will name it and save. And honestly from the looks of it. I'm not seeing any differences. So not to say that it might not in the, it may not in the future, pardon me, but from what I'm seeing. No, the reusable block settings look the same. Maybe this little preview. Let me see, let's turn off Gutenberg real quick deactivate. Refresh. Let me see. Now let me just update the page and then I'll refresh. Yeah, I think, oh wait, no, that wasn't the reason. No, that's still there. So, at this moment in time it does not look like it. But if anyone knows something about that, please feel free to share. So, let me see, is there any, can you make it a template after you design it. So there are many ways. Are you talking about a page template or a set of blocks being a template page template Michelle okay. So yes you can create your own. And this isn't specific to Gutenberg page templates. It just does require you to have the latest version of WordPress so in a block theme. So when you go to appearance and editor. And then you click on this W in the top you'll see there's a template section. And actually with this latest release you're getting a lot more template functionality, which is amazing. The templates that come default with the theme itself, and you can go into these and edit them to your liking so this is the home page for example, you can flip through template parts here. We go back but here's the template for a page so whenever you create a page this is the basic design flow, it will follow. Like let's do that little zoom out mode bam. See more of the page yay. And then going back to templates. You can also add new. And something new here which is pretty awesome is if you have a page where you're like hey I want this template to show only on this page. You can now do that you can do that with pages and you can also add a post as well you'll see here single item posts so before when you clicked on and this is not Gutenberg. This is now within the latest release of WordPress. You can click here, I have the sample page. If I had more pages, more pages would would list here, but I can now create a template just for this page. And once you save it. Yes. You can do that with your your theme itself. So going back here. Since it's been created it's already listed. I can do an ad new single item. I can select. Do I want to template to be for all posts or just a single one. If I want for just a single post. It'll list my single posts and it will you see here it's it's already been created. So I can just start working from here and making those changes. So if you have a universal design that you want to have for your templates, I would say work from the defaults that are here. But if you have, you know, specific designs you want for specific pages or posts, you know how you now have that ability to create an image of that template. What is the large empty block at the top of the page, large empty block at the top of this page. Maybe it's this is going back. I think this is the header. No, the group. Yeah, what is that. Let me get out of the zoom view. It's a placeholder image. So clicking into it. And it's, it's not really an image because it's, it's not pulling from something in your media library. It's just a setting so that you can see. This is the post featured image. So what this is doing is when you have, it's a saying that when you apply a featured image to your post. This is where it's going to be set. So this little placeholder. I know I think it's because of this design that it looks like a spacer. But when you click into the list view you can see it's supposed featured image and probably if I had a different lighter design it'd be a bit more obvious there they're always fiddling with the look of this placeholder image placeholder. I don't want to call it an image because it's not in the media library but you know, I hope know what I mean. It's just supposed to give you an idea of what this is going to look like when you publish the template image placeholder. Thank you Linda. We're coming up on time soon were there any other burning questions I can try to answer for you all in our session today before I go on to my closing thoughts. You all have been a wealth of info. Thank you. I'm so pleased to hear that I'm, they said I'm always still learning so I try to just share what I've learned with you all and I love how you all contribute as well sharing the zoom out feature in the experimental section. I really hope you enjoy the the feel of this kind of session. I just wanted to go on to my closing thoughts. I wanted to share more resources sources with you all. I already shared with you what's new in Gutenberg in that preview. Definitely follow that if you're kind of like a Gutenberg head now. You'll see the most recent updates and what they're working on there. There's also a publication called the Gutenberg times which also sources. There's also a community about Gutenberg I believe there's a podcast as well so you can learn more through that as well. If you're in the make WordPress slack, the core editor channel is where folks are going to mostly be talking about the developmental updates of WordPress core and Gutenberg. If you're interested in maybe creating blocks. I've linked out to the Gutenberg sorry the block editor handbook so that'll give you more information on how to do that. So these slides I'll be sharing in my update in the meetup group afterwards so don't worry about that. But yeah, it's it's been a pleasure. I hope you can continue your learning. Try using Gutenberg on a, you know staging site or your local site, play around with these new features. Also, share your feedback on them. And if you're interested in keeping up with what I'm doing you can find me at destiny and the make WordPress slack. And also on Twitter, we'll see how for how long. That's been up in the air lately, but there's also a lot of these sessions these online workshop sessions for you to check out as well in our calendar so I highly recommend you to browse that in case anything else catches your eye. And if you want to facilitate we have some information on that as well. Lastly, we have this individual learner survey. If you haven't filled it out, it would be amazing if you could take the time because this is essentially what folks, such as myself and others on the training team other contributors are using to ensure that we create quality content for all folks who want to learn WordPress so sharing your input on how you like to learn what content types work best for you is going to help us just make this this content much better for the world. So if you have a little bit please fill that out and we would be eternally grateful. We're going to stop the recording here.


Awesome. Hello. Hi everyone. So I'm gonna give my talk on building a wearable camera just to manage expectations. This isn't like a product or startup or anything. This is just a Raspberry Pi strapped to my back. So a couple months ago I got a narrative clip, which I've wanted for a very long time but they're pretty pricey and things like that and basically what it is is just a clip that you wear on a shirt or something and every 30 seconds it takes a picture and it's a way of effectively life-logging your life. I took it on a very short holiday and it looked really nice. It was still like it gave me enough information to know that there's obviously like a lot of potential in doing something cool like this. However, every single picture was wonky, which was interesting. Also all my pictures were hidden behind this really badly designed web app that would like Ajaxi load things and I couldn't download all the images at the same time and stuff like that. So I thought well, there really isn't anything out there that kind of solves this problem. There's nothing that really... There's not really enough out there that solves this problem. And I was planning on getting another holiday and we were gonna do but I think it was like four countries in five days so I wanted to make sure I remembered as much as possible.  We surely must be able to solve a problem like this, especially because so many people have it effectively tried. So the Raspberry Pi is pretty awesome and it's really cheap and like all of us we have about ten of them sitting at home. And it also comes with a camera module, which works perfectly fine. It's all open source and yeah, it's great. So I thought well, what if I could get the same kind of experience that I had with the narrative clip but also fix the whole wonky issue and build it myself. So I thought well, what if we put it on the strap of a backpack? So that's exactly what I tried doing. So I got the Raspberry Pi with the camera module and I stabbed a hole in the lower chest part and I added the camera module there and then I just ran a strap all the way back up my shoulder and back into a backpack and then just clamped it there just to test things. And it effectively worked. It worked really well actually. So that's what it ended up looking like. So it's nice and discreet.  And it was amazingly like waterproof. It did its job. I managed to sew straight through it like twice and nothing happened. So so that's a thing. And at this stage I was like, okay, that's cool. So I've solved a problem and that's pretty awesome. But it was also pretty easy because I was just doing it in my spare time every now and then. So I thought, well, how can I fix this whole ugly issue of the fact the way the way the camera's work is you want to take a time lapse but 90% of those images are going to be pretty awful because you're doing either mundane stuff or you're jumping around You're moving too fast and you're not going to get the pictures that you want. I mean a great example was the narrative clip. So this is 11 30 on Tuesday. I was at work and it just took a time lapse of my bedroom like nothing happened at all. So I thought well the Raspberry Pi has a Raspberry Pi 3 has a Wi-Fi chip in it now and Wi-Fi chips you can use as AP mode. So access point mode.  A nice part of this also was that I knew RTCs were a thing so real-time clocks and they're basically the little things inside the little battery thing inside computers I'm sure you guys know but I didn't know about the Raspberry Pi so the Raspberry Pi doesn't have an RTC which means it has no real concept of what time is. So what I did was I knew it'd be a problem so I had a server time which is what the Raspberry Pi thought the time was and then I had a JavaScript timestamp which was what my phone like generated and figured out and I thought as a holiday progress is I'll probably see those numbers very slightly but that wasn't the case at all. It was completely off. So at this stage I was kind of jumping around and I thought like what else can I do? So I thought well Google Maps has my location of where I go like all the time and I thought well if I could somehow fit it in with this project I could have a time-lapse video of me on holiday as well as the GPS coordinates of that as well and that would be really cool.  I don't know why this isn't advertised. So it's a Linkit one. It's made by MediaTac. It's about 60 pounds and it's effectively Arduino Uno but it's got GPS, GSM, SD, everything. And Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Yeah. And I taped it all together put it in a little carry case and thought alright I'll be great for going on holiday. At that point I had way too many things going on. So I had the web app, I had the hardware thing going on as well as the GPS stuff. And the issue with the GPS as well is it's either 100% absolutely perfect or just completely wrong and puts you nowhere. So that was a pretty hard thing to do. Especially when trying to figure out well do I use Python to take a picture and have it blocking code until it finds GPS and what happens if it doesn't find GPS in certain places. I wasn't really sure. So I ended up leaving the thing out because I thought I'm just building a universal box of nothing. I ended up just having the Raspberry Pi on its own with the camera module connected and that's it. No craziness. And this is the final result. So this is four days of us going around. It still has the same kind of numbers so it's still about 90% of the images are pretty awful like that on the floor and pictures of people's arms and things. So it's enough to actually remember so much. You can remember exactly what we did, where we ate, where we went and all that kind of stuff. So it was like definitely worth a shot. And it took a bunch of great pictures. Of course some were wonky, plenty of blood and things like that. I did look into doing some funky open CV stuff so there's like histogram equalization which is amazing. I didn't even know this stuff existed. I didn't bother putting this into the time lapse but it would definitely improve things. And before I play the video, YouTube said, hey, do you want to optimize it? So I thought, yeah, sure. And this is what I ended up with. And that's about it. Thanks. I can take questions. Do you have any? He says, do you want to optimize the lighting? Who was that? Oh, do I want to optimize the lighting using the histogram stuff? Yeah. I would have. The only thing is also the histogram equalization is more for black and white images. So it's fantastic for that. But when you have color, it gets a bit ugly. So you have to do all kinds of different things of trying to figure out is a color black and white enough for me to try and optimize and things like that. Oh, this thing. That's YouTube. So that's YouTube saying, hey, let's optimize your video because it's a time lapse. And yeah, it's really freaky. Thanks. What was the resolution of the images and like what memory card did you use and how much space did it take up over the time? It was a surprisingly small amount. I think it was only a couple of hundred megabytes because of the, yeah. It was just a couple of hundred megabytes because I use the old camera module. About two weeks after I went on holiday, a new camera module came out and it's amazing. It's 1080p. It does video by default. So I'm going to definitely rebuild it into doing some sort of video time lapse of some sort. Yeah, it's just more of a suggestion. So for about under a tenor, you can get these GPS modules that are serial and that would give you time and GPS. So you could just hack it straight into the... Yeah, I mean, actually, I didn't actually explain the main problem I had with the RTC. So the issue with the RTC is because it didn't understand what time it was, when it would turn off, then the next morning when I turn it back on, it will think that it was a morning of the day before, which meant it would start overwriting images from the day before that because I named all the images, image one, image two, image three, so it thought it was a fine. So the way I fixed that is by running around internet cafes for the whole holiday, which was interesting. Yeah. Okay, here we go. Hi, thanks for the talk. Did you at all look into live streaming from the Raspberry Pi, the camera? I could have. I'm not sure how you would do that because you'd need a pretty decent internet connection as well, especially if you're traveling. I mean, the purpose of this was to be traveling because I think having like a wearable camera day to day, it's pretty repetitive and mundane, but if you're going on holiday, it's definitely worth checking out. So I haven't actually looked into live streaming at all. I'm not sure how you do that. What did airport security make a backpack with wires running from it? I dismantled it into several different pieces and I have a camera bag, so I put the Raspberry Pi in there and it was fine. I mean, the only iffy thing was just having a strap that was sewed into a backpack going around it and no one seemed to care. So that was fine. I also shaved the day before. What size of battery were you carrying? It was nothing fancy, just a regular anchor power charger. I think it was like 1600 milliamps, just perfectly standard. And it lasted about two days, but I was charging it overnight anyway, so there was no issue. Anything else? There's one at the back. Quick question. Did any of your friends have like privacy concerns or were they all... I don't know. I haven't asked them yet. I'm pretty sure it's all unlisted. I can't remember. Hello. How the GPS worked out? What was your plan for mapping out your coordinates and syncing that with what you produce here? I was hoping to have a very long vertical thing where... I wasn't sure because obviously it didn't happen, but as a minimum thing I did get working was get the Raspberry Pi to take a picture and then in the ex of data to save the location. And that was good enough because that's future me's problem to figure out what to do with it. But what I was hoping to do is maybe one of those long timelines. So as you scroll down, you could see yourself moving around and maybe cluster on different places as well. But it would be like a fantastic way of remembering a holiday, especially because I haven't done this much of holiday in terms of doing four countries in five days and it all becomes one big blur, but going back to this, you can kind of remember every single moment, which is like personally really... I'm really personally surprised it works this way. The question was what countries? Budapest, Vienna... I was going to say Budapest, Slovakia, Vienna. Those four countries. It's in the Google Maps thing somewhere. There's a picture somewhere. Oh, wait. There we are. Those places. So Prague, Vienna, Slovakia, Budapest. Cool. Anything else? Are you considering labeling the pictures at all or the video so it could say the precise place where it was or which building it was or something? That's exactly what I was looking to do with GPS. So I could have used GPS and then it wouldn't be too hard to kind of cluster on where was I in one location for half an hour and the man you need to go on Google, as in use the GPS, go on Google Maps and say, well, I was at that restaurant and exactly where I went. And that would have been fantastic, but obviously I didn't get around to doing that. Okay. Right. Thank you very much. Awesome. Thanks.


This is stock number 8885, a 2016 Ram 2500 Crew Cab Short Box. This truck has a 6.7 liter Cummins diesel. From this HD video, you'll be able to tell that this truck is extremely clean all the way around. If you don't have this video in HD, put it in HD on your smart device or computer. We shoot everything in 1080p. You can see the front bumper is very clean, no dents or dings, factory sonar, front sensors. Frame and underbody is very clean. It does have a rough country suspension lift on it. Has 22 inch gear, chromed alloy rims, they're in really nice shape. Has open country Toyo MT tires. These are 35 by 12.5 R 22 LT's. These tires have about 60 to 70% of the tread left. Bright white is the color. You can see it has projector lamp headlamps, LED running lamps, chrome trim grille. Chrome and everything on the front is in excellent condition. Passenger rim, no scuffs or scrapes on that. And as we go down this side of the truck, you can see just how clean that body is, how reflective the paint is. We take these videos so if you are far away or even if you're close by and you just can't make the trip down, but you're still interested in purchasing the truck, you can still see the truck here, the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. Upper cab looks really good. I didn't see any dents or dings down this side of the truck. Lower rockers look great. Back rims are in excellent condition as well. And the back tires have just as much tread as the front tires, maybe even just a tad more. On the 14, they start going to the rear coil. Suspension makes this ride just really smooth on these trucks. You can see the frame and underbody is very clean all the way underneath. Has all the factory exhaust on it. Lower rockers look excellent. Basically, we want to give you the impression or the feel that you're looking right at the truck that you're right here. Even if you are many states away, we sell a lot of these trucks out of state. So you can be confident that you're dealing with the right people and the right truck. Spray and bed liner. The bed is very clean. Locking tailgate has a backup camera. You get your four pin, your seven pin, wiring harness, backup sensors. And down this side of the truck, just as clean as the passenger side. All for good measure, this back rim, no scuffs or scrapes on that either. Just in really nice condition. See just how clean that body is, how reflective that paint is. You know, it's kind of hard to see on white, but that's why we do the video so you can get a little bit better impression on the vehicle than just pictures. Inside the Laramie package gives you the tan leather interior. There are no rips or tears in these seats. Very little wear on the seat. Both these seats are heated and cooled with a memory driver seat, factory all-weather floor mats throughout, carpeting is real clean underneath. Has auto headlamps, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, and power fold-in mirrors. Power fold-out. Have heated elements along with directional signals. Inside here we have the seven inch TFT display. As you can see this truck has 15,112 miles. You also have the different tire pressure monitoring system right there. You've got a whole bunch of stuff you can do it. It has a digital speedometer, screen setup, and all the information you need. Has the 8.4 touch screen radio with the factory navigation system. You also have your heated and cooled seat buttons right here. Has a backup camera, which you can just press. They started that in 16 where you can just press the screen, you don't have to have it in reverse. You have your factory brake controller. Also if you don't like using the touch screen you have your heated seats and heated steering wheel buttons, factory exhaust brake, tow hall mode, stability control, and your front and rear sensors you can turn those off and on. Has dual climate control, turned out four-wheel drive, six-speed automatic transmission. Has a 115 volt, 150 watt plug-in. Up here we have the 911 and assist. Those are features of the vehicle. You never have to pay for them. Has a home link and then your power sliding rear window there as well. Smells very clean in this truck. I don't think it's ever been smoked in. Passenger seat is absolutely perfect, no rips or tears. Factory all-weather format on that side as well. You have your cell phone holder, which is a pretty neat deal. You can take your cell phone, just kind of set that in there. Pretty neat system. I like it on the trucks. Another wrapped heated steering wheel with the Bluetooth audio controls. Steering wheel is an excellent shape. Take a quick look at the back seats and then under the hood. Back seats much the same, no rips or tears back here. Has the power sliding rear window, latch child safety system. You get a lot of storage underneath here. These back seats are heated as well. You also have a factory all-weather floor mat back here underneath. These floor mats you have storage bins. You can see there's a sleeve reducer for the hitch. And we'll take a quick look under the hood. 6.7 liter Cummins diesel. This truck has been fully safety and inspected by our service shop as a fresh oil and filter change. All the fluids have been checked and topped off. This truck has been gone through 100% mechanically and is 100% ready to go.

Welcome to Access a Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, giving everybody welcome to another edition of the Access a Trader dot com nightly update show. Hope everybody is doing okay. Sorry, there was no video last night. My daughter had a quarter final soccer game, which they won onto the semis. So there was no video. So instead, usually I take Thursdays off, but I didn't record one yesterday. So I'm doing one today. So where do we begin, right? This is definitely a tale of two markets.  The Dow stocks, the S&P stocks that are actually performing very, very well. And if you look at the scoreboard today, you'll see that the Dow is up about 200 points. And if you just look at the diamonds, and we'll use the diamonds as, as kind of a barometer, the Dow has been a kind of on a runaway train here for the last, you know, for the last three weeks or so. Right? Really, really big move. And when you look at the Dow today, again, up to 200 points, you can see where the power came in, right? Caterpillar had very, very strong earnings. You had Honeywell, very, very strong earnings, even sympathy plays, even names like Boeing who missed their, they missed their earnings again.  And you could clearly ask, you know, if you ask two people what the market did today, it all depends on what you trade, it all depends on what your focus is, but you're going to turn around and say the market was up today. Or if you are on the other side of the equation, which is technology, you kind of know the difference. And so, you know, it's very, very tough for me to enlighten anybody who's trading the technology sector, especially in the last few days. You had Google and Microsoft reported a couple of days ago, they got slammed, a very, very aggressive Google. And we'll get to individual pivots in a second, really, really good second day move today. Same thing with Microsoft, right? Same thing with Microsoft and really big move down. Last night, you had Meadow, right? Meadow report, you know, wasn't pretty as well. Meadow got absolutely destroyed, just like with everything else. And the question we kept on reiterating the point was, because again, the bulls were fighting back. If you actually look at the intraday tape today, okay, on the cues, you'll notice the cues actually went green on a day at one point today before all chaos kind of went nutty. And the question we kept on asking was, well, in the last few videos, well, how long can the market, you know, how long can the market, you know, absorb all these body blows? Absorb all these haymakers. And, you know, we talked about it, you know, today in the webinar, before earnings came out. And I said, you know, this is probably going to be, I don't want to use the word make or break it, but I thought tonight's action was going to be very, very important to kind of the state of technology going in for the rest of the fourth quarter. And what we saw here, you know, back to back days is as strong as the market was, we did get rejected back to back days on this 284 move that we had a great, great move up to the 284. But back to back days, 284 in the market kind of started backing down again, and I'll give you guys a leveled here to watch for tomorrow. The cues is still above that level for a macro kind of for a macro look. But the question was, well, where these stocks, they were reporting tonight, right? And you know who the numbers were, you have Apple tonight. You had Amazon tonight, and yet Intel tonight, right? Those were, you know, very, very important areas, not only just for the Nasdaq 100, but it's a crossover, right? You know, Apple is an S&P, Apple is in the Nasdaq 100, same thing goes for Intel. So my question was, you know, can the market digest another body blow? Like how many hits to the ribs? How many punches to the side of the head can you take without actually going down? And when you look at the action tonight pre-market, right, pre-market, it was pretty strong, right? You saw some really, really good moves, the GDP came out, they spiked up the market, everything was flying, you know, it was very, very strong. And then stock stop, right? Stock stop.  We went absolutely down. And the question is what happens next, right? And that's kind of a big deal. After the close, you had, you know, a pretty significant body blow. In Amazon, before the close today, they were coming for the 110s, the 105s, the hundreds, 100 weekly puts. For Apple today, they were coming for the 140s, the 135s. So, you know, there was a lot of sentiment, right? There was a lot of sour sentiment. There wasn't a lot of, you know, there wasn't a lot of enthusiasm, that's the best way of saying, into earnings and a lot of these names. And you could kind of see it play out with institutional money. So when after the close, Amazon got, you know, you see where Amazon, Amazon's getting down like 20% after the close. Apple initially went down like 7, 8 bucks. Nice little turnaround so far off the lows. You know, Apple went all the way down to 136. It actually almost went green back in the day and now it's down only a few dollars. The question is, you know, can Apple, let's just say for argument's sake tomorrow, right? Apple turns around and goes green in the day. You know, is it going to, is it going to save tech, right? Because again, more influential of the two names is definitely Apple over Amazon just because of its weight on all these indexes. So it's going to be very, very important. But the overall picture, you know, it's not great, right? It's absolutely not great. And what you see on the Dow is aggressive. The Dow is, and I always remember, the Dow Jones is only 30 stocks, right? So it's not as impressive as the S&P going up, like say, for example, 2% in one day.  But now we're getting to the point of, we're getting into the fourth quarter, right? We know that every company is going to miss. It's not really a question. You know, there's not really a question of what company is going to buck the trend and come out with really, really great earnings. So far, we haven't seen it. Even in the case of Netflix, and Netflix had a really, really great run, right? There weren't great earnings. There weren't phenomenal earnings. Shopify had a really nice day today, right? But it wasn't like bang out quarter. It wasn't like one of these, it's okay. The, you know, the consumer is back. Everybody's spending money. So, you know, finishing up this quarter, and you still have a lot of names still, you know, for next week, you still have NVIDIA, and you still have PayPal, and you still have eBay, and, you know, all these, and Square, and all these other companies. But you have to assume, right, AMAT, all these other semis, you have to assume you're going to get exactly the same song and dance. What we've been seeing with every company so far that's reported, you know, the whole thing. Slowing, inflation, supply chain issues, inflation, and blah, high interest rate, the whole song and dance. And the question is, where are we going, right? Where are we going? How fast are we going to go there? And what do we expect for the fourth quarter? And the answer to that is nobody has any clue. And I've been kind of reiterating that point on a day-to-day basis. But the point that we can do is, right, what we can control is what we have on the close, right? What we have on the close, and granted, a lot of stocks are gapping down, right? It's not just Amazon's taking tagging down. Amazon's taking down everything with it, right? If you look, for example, like a snow, right? For example, like a snow, snow is getting killed. Like everything is getting killed. There's nothing that's safe. Nothing has anything to do with Amazon is getting absolutely murdered, right? Nothing to do with Apple, at least initially, is getting murdered. So it's like a tribe, right? One goes, they all go. So it's not a question of, I don't understand why my stock is going down. Just get it. That's what it is, right? The whole tribe is getting the double-fisted situation here before the weekend, you know, if that's your thing. So look, here are the big levels, right? Here's absolutely the big levels. When you look at the queues, you have a couple levels that we have to watch for tomorrow. Number one, this whole channel here. You see this whole bottom channel here that started on October the 17th here, right? The low here is this 266.74, ever. You see it? 266.74 stopped here. 266.82 stopped here. So in all intents and purposes, without splitting hairs, it stopped twice, right? At 266.74. If right now the queues are trading, where are they trading right now? 269s, right? 269s after hours. We have to watch this 266.70s level. Doesn't necessarily even translate tomorrow. Is it possible in the middle of the morning to have some sort of dead cat bounce? Absolutely. Everything is possible. Nothing is just going to go straight down. Even meta today had the worst quarter ever in the history of the world. And it did at some point bounce a little bit before getting shelled towards the end of the day. Is it very possible we get some sort of relief bounce at some point tomorrow? It could last 15 minutes. It could last for three hours. We don't know, but you have to assume one is coming. The question is what happens after. And as long as we're going to use this barometer here, right? We're going to use this barometer here, the 266.74 level. This is the difference between the next leg down or holding this whole range here. And if we do have the next leg down, again, it doesn't necessarily have to even mean tomorrow. But again, if that is the case, then yeah, any close below that 67.74 area has all the way lows to the CPI lows of 254. And I know it seems rough. And again, if you're an investor, again, I can't sugarcoat it. It is rough. That's the whole point.  It's not really that big of a deal.  I wish I could give you, you know, shine the light on what I think has happened. But again, I'm irrelevant. That's the whole point. I'm irrelevant. Anybody that you think you follow that has the and nobody has the answers right now. Tech is in a train wreck. That's the bottom line. You know, you have consumer cyclicals are very, very strong. Even banks and brokers continue to be very, very strong. That's where the money is, right? That's where the flight to safety is even names, you know, like McDonald's. I mean, look at the run McDonald's have. Look at the names, for example, like Coke. Look at the runs they have. Again, it's a completely different world. It's the Montague's versus what I call the Capulets, right? Romeo and Juliet, right? It's a completely different world. It's two separate markets. And the question is, what market are you trading? Now, again, what market are you comfortable in trading? I would rather always trade technology than any of these, any of these consumer cyclical names just because that's my sweet spot. That's my little niche. But there is a bull market somewhere, right? There is a bull market and it's definitely in this consumer cyclicals. But if you are looking at the text, yeah, I mean, that 266.74 level on the Q's is going to be super, super important in the next few days. And the most important part is once that level gets confirmed, you know, there's at least eight to 10 points back to the downside. But again, it's not all bleak, right? There are some names that look good. Like shop, you know, only down a dollar after the close considering it's basically the same group as Amazon. They had a great, great, well, they had a great move off the quarter. I can't say they have a great quarter. They have a great move off the quarter. So, hey, if there's any type of rally tomorrow and this thing starts taking out today's ranges, who knows? Maybe there is a couple more blocks in this thing. A name like Roblox, for example, they had a really, really big strong two-day move, right? Had some $50 calls short-term, granted, it's probably into earnings. But you know, this thing's held up very, very well as well. But on the flip side, you know, on the flip side, you know, I'm not watching them, right? I'm not watching them. I'm watching the names that have lost money on earnings, right? Microsoft. Microsoft still has room to the bottom channel. Meta, you know Meta's going to get a day two move down tomorrow. You know Google is going to continue to go down tomorrow because there's no catalyst left. Their earnings are bad. The market's bad. The sentiment's bad. Everything's bad. So if everything's bad, why try to pick a bottom? Just go with the flow and start looking at more downside ranges. Again, can everything marvelously turn around tomorrow and just go green? Of course, right? But again, like I say in every single video, no matter what your bias is, or at least opinion for that day, don't you at least have to be ready? Aren't you supposed to be prepared for the trading session, right? So again, it's okay to be wrong, but hey, at least be prepared on both sides of the market to kind of figure out which way the wind is blowing. So that's kind of it for the macro view of it. Very strong day today. I mean, really, really strong day today. We had continuation of sell-offs from earnings on Microsoft. Nice move on Tesla. Again, there's a lot of speculation that Twitter acquisition is going to be done tomorrow. Who knows?  Again, this is all banter. I have no idea. So let's talk about this. Tesla 231 needs to build. Here was Tesla. Not a big move. And I was a little bit upset at the move. It took out this 231 channel, went up about three points or so. And then it kind of stalled out, right? And once he starts seeing, at least for me, and again, I have no grudges. I have no beef with the retail public. But once everybody's talking about and talking about the same thing at the same time, Tesla's going to 300. Tesla's going to 300. Look, the deal's going to get closed. Tesla's like, ugh, okay. So I kind of backed away from there. Bit of a nice little pop on Tesla. NVIDIA won pre-market, couldn't get NVIDIA. It went from 134 to like 137. Google was pretty solid. Google, 94 for Builds Below can flush. That was day two after earnings. Here was Google. So it took out this 94 area trade all the way down to like 92 and change before the bounce, before pretty much ending at the lows. Really nice move on Google. Microsoft was sweet, really, really sweet move. 230 for Builds Below can flush more. Here was Microsoft. Right? Here was Microsoft. Microsoft went all the way down to like 226 and change before the initial bounce. Really, really nice move. I still obviously still like both stocks lower. Shopify. I missed Shopify. I didn't miss Shopify. I was shorting Google and Google and Microsoft. Shopify was a really nice move. Congratulations for you guys who caught it. 31 rejected twice so far. Pre-market needs to confirm. Shopify went nuts today. Congratulations for you guys who caught Shopify. Went all the way up to 3460. Really nice move on Shopify. Pretty aggressive day today. Amazon was pretty good as well. Obviously before earnings, 130-20 has held twice. Earnings after tight. Builds Below can flush. As you can imagine, it flushes. And here's the whole point, guys. This is when we talk about you don't need to fall in love with stocks. Right? Just fall in love with ranges. Here's my comments. For all you players that are trading Amazon after the close, upside, it's a little too tough. I couldn't find a channel to the upside. But the downside channels are 110, 105. If you look at Amazon right now, it's trading at $91.92. It got murdered. Apple for earnings players 150, 152 to the upside. 142, 140 to the downside. Initial move on Apple was down to 136. So again, guys, you don't need to. If you're an investor again, my heart goes out to you because again, it's very, very tough to have an opinion to what I think is going to happen in your portfolio in the future. Unfortunately, I just don't have them. That's smart enough for that. Neither is anybody. The only thing I can tell you is if you do have exposure to technology and you feel uneased, short some cues against your portfolio. That's the only, at least it's going to, at least it's going to curb some of the, you know, some of the damage because at least if everything is going down, you're going to have some hedges on the downside as well. So guys, have a great day. We should have some pretty good opportunities tomorrow. It's the end of the week. I wish you guys all the best. And when God's help, I'll see you all tomorrow. Take care.


Hello, in this video we are going to explore how to symbolize points with a high density. We're going to explore different renderers in the Layer Styling panel, and in the end we'll create a heatmap to use data from OpenStreetMap on water tabs in the Netherlands. This video is part of the IHC Delft Summa course creating data visualizations with graphs, maps and animations. You can find the free tutorial also on GIS OpenCourseWare. The link will be provided in the description of this video. Let's first create a nice backdrop. We're going to use the MapTiler plugin. MapTiler provides very nice vector tiles that we can customize in QGIS in terms of styling and labeling. Install the plugin from the Plugins Manager. After installing, you will find the MapTiler section in the Browser panel. Click right and choose Account. It meets an API access key. Use the link to go to the MapTiler web page and create an account or login to an existing account. Then find under the account the API keys and copy your API key. Go back to QGIS and paste your API key and click OK. This API key is now stored for further sessions. Let's explore the basic vector tile. Click right and choose Add as Vector, which means you add it as a vector tile. Some of the styles could not be converted and gives an error, but you can ignore that. Zoom in on the Netherlands. Now expand the basic layer group and you'll find two layers, MapTiler Planet and Background. Click on MapTiler Planet and open the Layer Styling panel to change the styles. Let's switch off all the roads by unchecking the boxes of layers related to roads. You can also click on a style and modify it. Let's go to the Labels tab and remove the label for the country. If we click on the label, then we can also change the settings of the label. You see that vector tiles are really nice and easy way to customize your base maps. You can also change the background layer and it works exactly the same as styling polygons in this case. You can choose another fill color and let's use some green here. There are also other maps that we can add from the MapTiler cloud. Click right on MapTiler in the browser panel and choose Add New Map and go to MapTiler Cloud and we're going to add Dark Matter. Click OK to add the vector tile to our list in the browser panel, click right on it and add it as a vector. Also here ignore the error. We remove the basic layer because we're going to proceed with the Dark Matter layer. Expand the Dark Matter group and choose MapTiler Planet and first we're going to remove all the roads because they are not necessary for our visualization of the water tabs later. Also remove the railways but keep the boundaries and remove the points of the cities. We just want the labels. What's now very ugly are all these labels of the roads so let's go to the labels tab and remove all the labels except for the places. Also remove the label for the country because it's clear that we focus on the Netherlands. You can also change the background here to a gray fill. You can use the slider and choose a 30% gray. Now let's download the point data set that we want to visualize and we're going to use the Quick OSM plugin for that. Search for Quick OSM in the Plugins Manager and install the plugin. You can open the dialog by clicking this icon and there it needs a key and a value and you can find this on this page. I will also put the link in the description of this video and you see that all the attributes they're not really attributes in OpenStreetMap are based on keys and values so we're searching for the one for the water tabs and here we have it. Amenity is the key and drinking water is the value and that will give us all the water tabs as points. So let's fill the dialog of the Quick OSM with the key and the value and at in we can also type the name of a country, a region or a city so we use Netherlands. Make sure that we only select points and because it's quite large for the whole country we increase the timeout to 60 and then we run the query. After a while it's downloaded and it's added here at the wrong place so we choose move to top but it will move it to the top inside the group. We can also move it out of the group and here we see that it has a default styling for some reason in categorized but we're going to play with that. Let's first change the renderer from categorized to single symbol to see all the points and it will use a random color here in my case that's green and you see that that's not a really clear representation there's a lot of overlaps in areas where there's a high density of points. So let's change it to the point displacement renderer. This displaces points that are overlapping and within a certain distance that you specify and you can choose if you want them the points in concentric rings around it or in a grid and you can play with the distance values I change it to 10 and then back to ring then you see how it visualizes the points. That's also not really what we want so let's try another renderer. Let's go to point cluster and the point cluster renderer will cluster points that are within a certain distance and I change it now back to 3 so if they are in a distance of 3 millimeters then it will create a red dot and the ones that are further are the original green dots and we can make visible how many points these red dots contain. We go into the cluster symbol and we add an extra marker and we change that to a font marker so we can add text inside the dots make sure that you choose black for the fill color otherwise you cannot see the text you see it already displayed and then you can go add characters to the data defined override and look there for the variable cluster size and then it will show you the size of the clusters but it's very small so we still need to play with the font size or the marker size and let's change that to 5 and now we see how big these clusters in the red dots are. It's not really a nice representation like this we could still tune it further but still this is not what we need so a better way to visualize high density points or the distribution of the points is using a heat map so I changed now to the heat map render and it by default uses a grayscale ramp so let's change this I changed it to CVDIS and under layer rendering I want to multiply this with the background layer that doesn't give a nice result because the darkness of the background so let's just uncheck the background you could also make it white and then we see the blue from the ramp and we see here the clusters of points highlighted in the heat map in a more yellowish color you can further improve this by removing the land use polygons because the focus is really the heat map and it should be on a quite neutral background map that does not interrupt too much and let's change the projection of this map to the dodge projection accept the transformation settings you can play with the radius if I make it small it will have less areas with yellow if I make it very large larger areas will be covered so I choose here radius of 20 because this gives a nice effect and you can change the rendering quality if you put it at best it will take some time to render but it will have a much higher resolution I'm still not happy with the labels I don't like that they have uppercase so I'm going to edit that for all of them remove the uppercase except for the capital so there may be still too many labels I'm going to remove a few that we don't really need to orient as a user and this is our map you can further improve it by editing the vector tiles symbolization now let's make the layer permanent change the layer name to water taps we'll start rendering again and this is our final result you can of course improve it further especially the labels can be done a bit better but this is essentially how it works to visualize high density points in QJS


He can die tomorrow.  I have to counsel him. I'd be like, I said he don't dig a lullaby. When you get in your feelings like little bitch, he did. Yeah, we on boss talk one on one, one on one. Yeah, we gonna talk. So we got money modes to put up in the building, man. And yeah, money modes. You done seen him. If you watch boss talk one on one, he is one of those guys. So money modes, what's up, baby? So man. I know you heard everything, the chat in the background, man. He been waiting. He was back there screaming a while ago. What did you hear about what we were saying? And what did you want to say about it? Just about the fact of just, last time you came on here, Sean Cotton came on here and you went to jail. I was talking to you. Yeah, he went to jail that day. Damn. Yeah, that day. He was upset about it. He was like, I wanted to see Sean. Man, I wanted to meet that dude. Man, you remember that day? Yeah, yeah, I remember that day. I can't forget it. That day, still in my head, that case over with. Wow. Man, good to meet it, right? So now, but Sean, when I think about what you were just saying and all the stuff that we talked about here today, man, I just like the fact of the way you handle yourself in business. I told you, I seen the tweet, nigga. I'm like, damn, I could have tweeted. I'm talking about, like, your approach is right.  Because I don't, like, you know, Charleston whites older than me. I respect, right? I gotta respect it. You know what I'm saying? I just don't like the things that he said. Like, I just don't agree with it. You know what I mean? It is what it is. But I think you took the right approach by, you know, the way that you handled yourself. I'm the same way, man. Like, we business, I watch it. Like, I could have said certain things that people told me out of that own circle out of Fort Worth. Man, come on. That I know may be credible. But why would I do that? Why would I hurt a guy that I've been trying to help the whole time based off his feelings? Just call my phone. My phone.    He can die tomorrow.  I have to counsel him. I'd be like, There ain't no counseling. He don't dig it low, man. When you get in your feelings like a little bitch, he did.  Like, you don't have to speak on nobody, nobody family.  But you won't start speaking on that shit, nigga.  I have you feel about it. I'm standing on my ground. I have you want to do with it. Well, I ain't mad.  He was upset with him one night outside because of him saying that Rainwater was a genius. I remember that night.  No, he was upset.   I don't know Rain like that. Rain is smart though when it comes down. Yeah, he's smart. I'm trying to get what he want. No, Rain plays chess very well. He's real good. I'm not going to say he not... He know what he's doing. He's sure. He know what he's doing. Let me ask you, Rain, why are we talking about it? As far as the artist, I seen him came out and said that him and was it Dundun? Number seven. Number seven, I'm with him no more. Dundun too. Dundun, two of them? Yeah, both of them posted. Both of them, I want to... So, what do you do? I mean, because you and him, y'all have a somewhat of a relationship. How was it? Rain? Yeah, Rain, as far as on the artist and stuff, man. That got to be a hard deal coming from behind what they had to come from, the mode three situation, and then trying to, you know, live under that umbrella. So, I don't look at that as being easy, but I'm on the outside looking in.  You tapped in. Hey, I kind of figured that was going to happen, because then when he's artist, then with mode three artist, he just took them on because mode three died. So, of course, they're not going to respect him like he just posted.  No, he's not a genius.  They was into it at that time.  They wouldn't be trying to get away from him. Well, they don't. I don't know, bro. You know, you don't have people that leave. But listen, if he was a genius, they're not going to leave you. They're not going to leave you, bro. No, sometimes people got to leave and realize it's not greener. They'll come back. They'll come back. They won't come back. Shit, well, yeah. They ain't got to come back to him.  If it was green here, they'll see it now. Let me ask you, man. So, do you feel like when Batman and Keebo pulled all that money out? Because that was a lot of money. I didn't even see it coming. I'm telling you it was a lot of money. I know if you were there with him or what. No, no, I wasn't there. I wasn't there.  That nigga got that money. So, he was just trying to show the case that, hey, man, you know, I'm over-reflecting. Like, I got it.  So, when I seen that, I could never do that like that because I'm not going to ever, that's not me. Y'all young, bro. This is a young man game. Man, I posted money one time. Listen, bro, I can't do it, bro. I got it. I can't do it. What it do for you when you post the money? Shit, I posted like 50,000 on Instagram. The picture still up. I'm wearing like my red pants with like some Yeezy's. Shit, my house got burglarized. See what I'm saying? No, they coming. 20, 32 of that was gone. They pulled out about 10 or 20,000 the other night. My son, them, and they was at the club. They sent me the pictures, man. Damn, what club y'all's at? Where was y'all at? Somewhere in Malcolm X. It was when Sauce Walker was- Try to love the hub, I think. Yeah, it was the hub. And they knocked this one out of the Benz. It's Benz. Damn, what they take? They didn't take, he had a two iPhones sitting there. They thought they were getting after that money. Damn, so it gotta be somebody he know that's driving. No, it was my son and his partner, Vic. And they flossing with the boss talk. You know, trying to get the Sauce Walker interview to come through when he get done. We had already talked to Megan and told them they were going to come to VIP. You just that flossing, man. Like you just said, that flossing, the niggas that seen them, they knocked that one out. I think they go get something out of it, you know? So we just got to be careful on how we do things too, man. At the end of the day. But Bam and Keebo, he on another level. Yeah, and then they got their bread, don't you? How did you even become friends? My guy Sloppy Joe had connected us before he went to jail. Okay. Yeah, Sloppy Joe's from Dunkin' Yo. That's my guy. Yeah, he had connected us, we did an interview. And then we kept in contact while he was in the feds. And when he got out, he flew me to Chicago. We did an interview in the private jet. And then the rest was history. Like just grew with him, you know? Like kind of like what I did with Charleston White, like seeing the finishing product, what to ask him and set him up to win.
