<br>
I hope it isn’t out of line for me to post this here...<br>
<br>
Over a decade ago, I put some rough recordings of lectures from my music synthesis class and posted them on <a href="http://blip.tv" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">blip.tv</a>. That service went away, but some kind folks archived and reuploaded those videos (which was very useful since I lost the original files). Partially inspired by the enthusiastic response those old videos received, when Covid hit, I redid all my lectures in a more polished format and put them on YouTube: <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOunECWxELQS5bMdWo9VhmZtsCjhjYNcV" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOunECWxELQS5bMdWo9VhmZtsCjhjYNcV</a><br>
<br>
Over the years people who have found benefit from my lecture videos have occasionally asked if I had a Patreon or similar service they could contribute to. Since the videos were created as part of my job at Georgia Tech for which I’m paid by Georgia Tech, ethically I can’t really set up something like that which would put money directly in my bank account.<br>
<br>
But, I worked out a deal with the Powers that Be at Tech such that people could make a *targeted* donation to the Georgia Tech Foundation earmarked to support my work with my students. Instructions are given here: <a href="https://youtu.be/VBu-LST1p9c" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/VBu-LST1p9c</a><br>
<br>
In particular, it's important that Lantertronics/GTF210000920 goes the “special purpose” field so your donation doesn’t go to building another football stadium or something like that. ;)<br>
<br>
(Some year ago I worked out something similar, but it required people to mail a paper check. Now you can type in a credit card number.)<br>
<br>
This goes a long way towards helping me show my fellow faculty, in particularly my superiors, that there is a hunger for this kind of material.<br>
<br>
And it’s tax deductible. :)<br>
