The Law Enforcement & Emergency Services Video Association International, Inc. (LEVA) has launched an entirely new website for members and visitors! I'm proud to have been given the opportunity to work with LEVA on providing new capabilities and services for LEVA members, and hope everyone enjoys the new site.
Do you use a YubiKey or the Google Authenticator app? The latter is free, and now you can use either of them to enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) here at DME Resources.
Simply log-in and choose "Edit Profile" from the Control Panel, then select your preferred method from the drop-down options for "Authentication Method".
Follow the prompts that will be shown to configure, then press the "Update" button displayed at the bottom of the page.
That was easy.
"Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, video editing and 2D animation pipeline." - https://blender.org
This is a project I've known about for some time, but hadn't looked at in quite awhile. Wow. VFX & compositing geeks are going to love Blender 2.92.
Let's make it another great week my friends, be safe out there! 😎
At the request of the public safety community, UL has begun development of a performance standard for tactical (e.g., hand-deployed, covert placement, robot-mounted) and operational (e.g., body-worn) video camera systems. We are seeking input from end users to determine your needs and requirements: who uses which systems, when and how they are typically used, and what features are used.
We would appreciate your completing a questionnaire using the link below:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/tacticalcamera
Your input is requested by June 30th so that it can be used to guide the path forward and help to ensure that the standard meets the needs of end users.

I donated to Wikipedia again today as they're in the middle of another fundraiser. They're an independent, ad-Free non-profit. No sleezy marketing, covert data collection, persuasive technologies to get or keep you, etc. Very similar to what I've always tried to do with my websites and resources online.
It's been a long time coming, but with the recent upgrades and layout changes I was finally able to bring back our popular DME Resources Map.
The DME Resources Map allows members to add markers for their agency or organizational resources related to forensic multimedia analysis. Visitors and members are then able to easily locate nearby DME resources that may be able to assist them.

A close friend shared something with me a few years ago. Something he said to his therapist when they asked "Why did you choose to focus on child exploitation, and why would you do such a thing for so long (much of it, on his own time)?"
You've heard the answer before, but maybe, just maybe, if you read all my posts from this weekend, you'll get it.
"If not me, then who?"
I don't see anyone else working for free doing this. Nobody else creating their own jobs. Jobs that never existed before, until they made others realize somebody needed to be doing these jobs.
I don't recall others stepping up and saying "Please, give me more to do for less or no money, and fewer benefits!"
Oh, I see volunteers. I know there are millions of others like us. But clearly, you're missing the point.
For him, me and others like us...this is all about "me".
Hitachi is not the first storage vendor to bring a 3TB drive to market. However, it is the first to introduce an internal 3TB drive reliable enough for hardcore business use.

Still tweaking this one, but I think it simplifies adding and managing articles/posts for members and provides a place for each to have their own blog...how cool is that? Each member's posts are displayed in the "community blog" and listed on their profile's "My Blog" tab. Posts can be displayed by author, category, tag or (obviously) searched through our site search engine.
Additionally, visitors can subscribe to the Media-Geek blog RSS feed OR an RSS feed based on author, category, tag, etc... Sweet. Don't have your own blog? Now you do! Posts can be a single sentence to several pages. Images and videos are easily uploaded and embedded, and we're providing all the functionality you'd expect from a blogging tool. Trackbacks, stats, comments, feeds, tags, and more!
Easy to use and free for members, so what are you waiting for...share your thoughts already!
On March 11th, 2009 the mixed martial arts community, and quite frankly the world, lost a great man. Charles "Mask" Lewis was a pioneer, and probably the best example in recent history of why you can't judge someone by the way they look on the outside; it's what is inside that counts. I'm still struggling with this tragedy and although this isn't typically the forum where I'd share MMA or fighting related posts or issues, this is much more than that. Below is the post I left for Punkass and Skrape on 3/12, as well as a tribute video put together by the TapouT Live radio crew. RIP MASK - Always Believe.
