Building An Ethical E-Book (LibrePlanet 2022 talk by Nicholas Bernhard) NDHFilms 2022-03-30 | This is a recording of a talk I gave at LibrePlanet 2022. I discuss the philosophical basis for an ethical (freedom-respecting) e-book, and what's involved in making one. I'm the developer of Nantucket E-Books, a site that makes it easier for authors to create and share the best e-books on the planet. I was motivated in large part by my frustration with the proprietary software most e-books require, especially Amazon's KDP platform. I decided that I'd create an e-book that I would want to read, and I knew that I wanted it to run on free software. My e-book platform, Nantucket E-Books, uses only free software, and does not use DRM of any kind. In addition, the site's FAQ page, and the manual for the Shanty markup language used to write my e-books, are licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.

Nicholas Bernhard Lego Timelapse NDHFilms 2020-03-28 | This is timelaspe of me building me tiling my coffee table in a Dragon Curve fractal pattern. I used 2x2 Lego tiles.The pattern was produced using a computer program I wrote. The program could allow me to make the pattern for any size area. Dragon Curves are used in the novel Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, as a way of explaining how the simple structure of the park and its dinosaurs belies hidden and unforseen complexity. A Dragon Curve has simple rules, but creates intricate, exponentially-growing patterns. Because of its fractal nature, a Dragon Curve fractal can be scaled to any size and still look good. My tile pattern is one many possible patterns.The Lego tiles were purchased online in a custom order. The Dragon Curve program was created using vanilla JavaScript and the HTML5 Canvas element.
Here There Be Dragons: Fractals, Legos, and Jurassic Park NDHFilms 2020-03-24 | TRY MY DRAGON CURVE PROGRAM:ndhf.github.io/DragonCurvesThe story of how I tiled my coffee table in Legos with the fractal from Jurassic Park. This coding project combined several passions of mine: Legos, recreational math, and puzzles. I became interested in fractals as a kid, after reading A.K. Dewdney's The Armchair Universe, and more so after reading James Gleick's Chaos, an introduction to Chaos Theory. Reading Jurassic Park for a book club with friends introduced me to the Dragon Curve. My Dragon Curve program was made using Vanilla JS and HTML5 Canvas.The program itself is quite simple, which is the point of chaos theory: very simple systems can produce complex, unpredictable results, and complexity can arise from very simple systems. I wrote the music for this video, unless otherwise specified.CREDITS:All fractal images from Wikipedia, public domain.Audio from Jurassic Park Copyright 1993 Universal Pictures.

Roxanne (Bass cover, fingerstyle) NDHFilms 2018-05-15 | Bass cover of Roxanne by The Police (Sting) This is a fun song to play, especially with the hammers-on in the chorus. I make a few timing mistakes, in particular with the lead-up to the choruses.Special thanks to Guitar Hut in Lafayette, Colorado.http://guitarhutco.comThe tape ran out as I was recording the pick cover. I will (again) record it at a later date. Next week, one more Police song: Message in a Bottle.
Every Breath You Take (Bass cover, fingerstyle) NDHFilms 2018-05-08 | Bass cover of Every Breath You Take by The Police (Sting) The original bass track for this song was an electric bass multi-tracked with an upright bass, giving it some extra heft. For this cover, I used the bridge pickup and turned up the tone knob.Special thanks to Guitar Hut in Lafayette, Colorado.http://guitarhutco.comI wasn't happy with my pick-style cover of this song, I will re-record it at some point. Next week's cover is another Police song: Roxanne.
With Or Without You (Bass cover with pick) NDHFilms 2018-05-02 | Bass cover of With Or Without You by U2. (U2/Bono). This is a song where the bass line, in spite of its simplicity, holds the entire song together. The chord changes are only implied by the bass notes.My fingerstyle cover of With Or Without You can be found here: youtu.be/n0dCyWSUIcgSpecial thanks to Guitar Hut in Lafayette, Colorado, for allowing me record there. It makes for a better background than my last video's white wall. http://guitarhutco.comI have enjoyed playing bass, and thought I might upload some of my covers as I learn the instrument. I also want to do comparisons between fingerstyle playing, and playing with a pick, since it's such a long-standing debate in the bass world.Next week's cover: Every Breath You Take by The Police.
