For the last year I have been experimenting with TikTok as a way to reach the public with a positive, proactive and fully-independent voice about building codes. I have been overwhelmed by the responses. Making this style of video content has been very new to me, as it is more conversational and personable than a my normal "slide show" type of videos. TikTok is a powerful video app that allows for incredible creativity and interaction. I've made some pretty strange building code videos... some controversial ones. I've made videos that only a dummy independent can risk making. The public seems to appreciate it.
1) TikTok is more than what mainstream media tells you it is. Sadly, mainstream runs our society, so I realize this app is likely going away in the US so the fragile ones amongst us can be protected. But the lessons from my experiment are mine forever, as are my videos.
2) If you want to see some unusual building code social media, you don't have to have the app. All my videos can be watched on a the web on a desktop (link below).
3) "We the People" are interested to hear about codes in a non-authority, non-government delivery. It's just not something that's heavily offered to them. Help me with that. Let's change public perception of the value "codes" can offer. Willful compliance is the most effective compliance of them all.

I've am often given gifts of outdated code books for my vintage collection. I have so many duplicates. So I've started a code book giveaway campaign. Please donate your old code books to me so I can give them to others. Many locations are still on older codes, so they are still useful in other places even if yours are updated. Thanks!
