And then, as meetings are added, they become searchable. So let's say you want to see meetings about flock cameras across the country: redtaperecordings.com/meetings?q=f...

Ryan O’Housing @howtoadu.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

If there are no closed captions (or the closed captions are for languages you don't speak or they're low quality) then there is a button to generate a transcript from the meeting audio. This part takes time cause I run the jobs slowly one at a time, but you get it eventually!

Ryan O’Housing @howtoadu.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Then, you find the part you really care about. They talk about Flock Cameras at the 2h30 mark. You want to show friends/colleagues/journalists redtaperecordings.com/m/the-city-o...

Ryan O’Housing @howtoadu.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Imagine a 2+ hour meeting, and you just want to see the part about flock cameras or data centers or whatever you care about. This tool pulls any closed caption file or transcript and makes it searchable text so you can skip around the meeting. example: redtaperecordings.com/m/the-city-o...

Everybody is so busy screaming about bonus ADUs in San Diego that they missed the important news: SD just approved the separate sale of ADUs (including bonus ADUs). Kudos to @acbowen.bsky.social for being the only reporter I found who mentioned the separate sale amendment.

I like it when they just say what they're really thinking. paraphrasing the sign: 'My beautiful view is more important than building enough homes for the city.' It's a good pun on Linda Vista, but it's also sort of bonkers that we say it's about

Ryan O’Housing @howtoadu.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Lots of support for separate sale of ADUs as starter homes. But those signs behind them are still arguing for NO bonus ADUs at all.
