Work-from-home office tour! (Patreon)

Thank you so much for your support during this trying time. As you may have guessed all of my live performance work (and indeed work with schools) has been cancelled. So I'm pretty-much relying on on youtube as my only financial support!

That said: I totally understand that many people have it much worse than me. If you are feeling the financial squeeze I do not mind at all if you need to downgrade your support of Stand-up Maths, or pause it, until you get back on your feet. 

Anyway after I finished filming my latest video yesterday ( https://youtu.be/6egeUxIEQnM online soon!) I also did a quick bonus tour of my new working-from-home set-up. I also talk about this in the latest episode of A Problem Squared for those of you who listen to my podcast with Bec Hill.

Enjoy! And stay safe.

Patreon: work from home 2020 tour

This is a tour of my new work from home set-up which means I'll keep making videos during the 2020 pandemic lock-down. Filmed directly after my 'Million Bucks' video: Thank you for all your support on Patreon which means I can keep working during this time. Patreon post for this video is here:

Euler

Your work IN schools might be on hiatus, but your work WITH schools can and will continue through this. Thanks for educating the next generation of epidemiologists. Stay safe and healthy!

Patrick W. Gilmore

Not even considering stopping any of my Patreons. In fact, I am watching MORE YT.

Peggy Youell

Hey, I have those Squared Square coasters, too--Maths Gear for the win! (That's actually one of my favorite of your ventures.) I enjoyed the tour, thanks for pulling back the curtain. I don't remember if you've talked about this before--what gear do you use for editing--both video and podcasts?

Matt Parker

Thanks! I’m actually working on ideas for how I can help support at-home education with specific videos. More to follow!

Matt Parker

I love those coasters! James Grime is to thank for them. What a legend. My videos are all edited in Final Cut. I actually use that for any audio editing I need to do as I’m already fluent in FCP, but my podcasts are always edited by other people who are more talented than me. Fun fact: the producer/editor of A Problem Squared was once Lord Buckethead.

Patrick W. Gilmore

I am so happy that "professional YouTube creators" have cables running under cabinet doors that do not close all the way across the floor. Makes me feel much less embarrassed about my home office. :-)

Peggy Youell

Did he give up his title? Or is it more a Dread Pirate Roberts kind of gig?

Hans de Leuw

Keep up the good work, we'll keep supporting you

Matt Parker

He renounced his peerage. Also there was a copyright battle! He’s now Count Binface.

Matt Parker

Hey, that is the professional way to run cables out of a cupboard! By virtual of me being a professional and therefore anything I do is technically a ‘professional way’.

Patrick W. Gilmore

Is it possible to get / buy / win / steal / whatever a piece of The Mile Of Pi? (I just got a "Piece of Pi" from Brady for his Pi millionth subscriber, but not a piece of The Mile.)

Timur Sultanov

I am also working from home... But so glad managed to catch your live show in NYC, and even gave you something in python =)

Tim

Only person left in the office (as living alone and most local), still earning (for now), happy to keep supporting all my creators on here

Oliver Dunk

Very jealous of your primer! The sound they make is second only to 3Blue1Brown's colliding blocks.

Matt Parker

Mile of Pi is one of my all-time favourite videos I’ve done. The display case? The full answer is a long story; the short answer is that it’s a replica t-rex toe bone.

Matt Parker

I hate to think how much of it we recycled on the day (figuratively miles of it). But a bunch of us kept bits. I doubt anyone will sell theirs though!

Matt Parker

Ha. I still have it. Was in the other room. I might swap it out for something more sturdy though!

Matt Parker

Hello again! Thanks for the code. Glad you enjoyed the show!

Matt Parker

Much appreciated! I hope you’re enjoying having exclusive rein of the whole office.

Patrick W. Gilmore

:-( Poor Brady. Passing up a serious revenue opportunity!!

Matt Parker

This primer is only on 17, so I’m reluctant to advance it! I keep thinking I should bring it up to 37 and then only advance it when I turn a new prime age. (Also, even though Maths Gear is paused at the moment, I should say we normally sell them on there.)

Courtney Schade

I saw the spine of Rob Eastaway’s book and said to myself, “hey I have that book!” I snagged it after reading Humble Pi. 😉

Courtney Schade

I got here in a roundabout way. Numberphile, James Grime, Matt Parker...one of my favorite videos though is the stand up comedy routine about spreadsheets. #excelnerd #spreadsheetsarelife

Kerry S Hall

I need to try changing to a reflected white light for my document camera for quarantine teaching. My current setup is very yellow light from a shaded incandescent bulb that's hanging precariously over my monitor.

Matt Parker

It’s a great book to read… assuming you’ve already read Humble Pi!

Courtney Schade

Absolutely did! I read the U.K. hardback version when it originally came out. Received it 3/13/2019, just in time for Pi Day!

Matt Parker

Yes, the white LEDs are great; some of them have a lot of control over the colour temperature. I cover normal yellow bulbs with baking paper to soften the light bit it’s still very very yellow.

Wouter van Rijkom

I'll be looking forward to the extra youtube videos then. I just subscribed to give you an irrational amount of support during these harder times btw. Be safe everyone.

slugbiker

just subscribed. looking forward to more cool videos. thank you! and, yes to using natural light.

Nicholas Koceja

Decided to subscribe because I have the money and you deserve it. I'd do the highest tier if I could, but I cant do that just yet. Maybe in the future.
