RSS Scraping is Not Fair Use

PlagiarismToday - Why RSS Scraping Isn’t O.K.:
"Simply put, fair use is not a license to do what one will with another’s work, even if it isn’t for profit. Fair use is a pointed right that is targeted mostly at education, news and other public services. It has never been used successfully to protect the scraping of creative works."

LG15 is fake as is religion

The End of Faith (Book) :: Sam Harris:
"This important and timely book delivers a startling analysis of the clash of faith and reason in the modern world. The End of Faith provides a harrowing glimpse of mankind’s willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs, even when these beliefs inspire the worst of human atrocities."
via [ Brian Flemming ] who is not Lonelygirl15 and says:
For the record, all that religion stuff is bullshit, and you shouldn't pollute your mind with it. Just say no. Save the planet. If your parents make you hail Satan or praise the zombie Jesus, tell them for me that I think they're retarded.

Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite vs. The Evolution of Dance Guy

via [ Will Video For Food ] who says:
This one’s done well. It’s the second video Judson Laipply posted (his first is an all-time most popular on YouTube). Judson and Pedro (from Napolean Dynamite) dance.
This one’s a subtle promotion for Crank. It avoids, for the most part, all of the 7 Deadly Sins of Viral Video Advertising.

WHDH-7 Boston Newsroom Meltdown

The Radio Equalizer: Brian Maloney: WHDH-7 Boston, Talk Radio, Newsroom Meltdown:
"Without their customary tools of the television news trade, Channel 7's newscast was aborted after a just couple of minutes. As it became clear they were on their own, flustered anchors became increasingly panicked, ultimately leading to an on- air disaster of epic proportions. See the stunning video of this fiasco here."
I saw this too and at the time wondered why they couldn't just continue to report the news without technology.

Watching Shows on Computers

MediaShift: Watching Shows on Computers Supplements Your TV Viewing | PBS.

Mark Glaser asks:
What other TV shows or video content do you like to watch on computer monitors? Or tell us why you don’t like watching TV on your computer if that’s the case.
I answered over on his blog and am reposting my comments over here too since I spent so much time typing.:
Isn't there a visual effect going on here regarding the size of the screen?

When you are watching TV from your couch the TV screen takes up a certain amout of your field of vision. Let's say 1/9th for conversation.

When you are watching a video on a laptop, which is maybe on your lap or a tray table, what percentage of your field of vision is that video? Maybe 1/6th?

So in this example, the video is bigger. And if it's something like Apple's H.264, it's really high quality.

SHOWS I WATCH
I watched some of the preview episodes of new TV shows that were available on iTunes. Kyle XY and Studio 60 on Sunset Strip. I now Tivo Kyle and will Tivo Studio 60.

VIDEOBLOGS
One other thing that needs mentioning is that in addition to watching TV content on computers, I'm also watching videoblogs. I subscribe to people. When I watch a videoblog, I have the opportunity to click a link and leave a comment, like I'm doing here. Some vlogs even promote collaboration, like Ze Frank and Galacticast. They solicit feedback in the form of mutimedia. While a small percentage of viewers will participate, it points to a future where media is two way communication rather than one way.

YouTube is breaking ground in this area with video comments. Lots of conversation is happening over there in both video and text. It's exciting.

God is voting for Katherine Harris

ABC News: Harris Clarifies Comments on Religion:
"U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris told a religious journal that separation of church and state is 'a lie' and God and the nation's founding fathers did not intend the country be 'a nation of secular laws.' The Republican candidate for U.S. Senate also said that if Christians are not elected, politicians will 'legislate sin,' including abortion and gay marriage.

Harris made the comments which she clarified Saturday in the Florida Baptist Witness, the weekly journal of the Florida Baptist State Convention, which interviewed political candidates and asked them about religion and their positions on issues.

Separation of church and state is 'a lie we have been told,' Harris said in the interview, published Thursday, saying separating religion and politics is 'wrong because God is the one who chooses our rulers.'"
These folks would disagree:

A Whole System of Communication

Nice post by Michael Meiser, Random thoughs on social media:
"Video blogging is not like TV or Film. If there is a revolutionary idea behind new media it's that it's simply personal communication that just so happen to be public."
Michael then talks about "a whole system of communication":
About fidelity, "quality", and perfection. Remeber... it's not about the medium, it's about the conversation. All these media are simply facets of a whole system of communication that connect you with those around you.
I think this point is really important. Like Jay Dedman says, "we are capturing moments."

While reviewing the Nokia N93 cell phone, I've been posting text, audio, photos, and video over on a new blog that I created to share my findings: Nokia N93 test Center Blog.

If I was writing a review for a newspaper or magazine, you'd miss out on the video parts. If I was doing this for TV, you'd miss out on the text parts. If I was doing this for a product review site, you probably wouldn't see any of it yet since they'd probably wait until it was 'done' before posting it.

What I'm doing is blogging.

It's a conversation.

I'm posting little moments that are happening each day as I discover new things about the phone. And it's not perfect either.

In my post about posting video from the Nokia N93 from the sidewalk via WiFi, I uploaded the video from the sidewalk, but I made the post 'live on the blog' from home because Carol wanted to leave. That's ok. It doesn't matter...

I'm posting my findings on the blog and people are interested. I'm also getting comments from other N93 users suggesting other features to try. Things I might not have thought of.

If I was doing this in private, it wouldn't be such a rich experience.

It's different than a review you'd find in a magazine. It's not finished yet. And that's what's great about it.

It's a conversation.

Click and Shoot: PUBLIC GARDEN

Boston_photography_center
Boston Photography Center's next Click and Shoot will be at none other than Boston's Public Garden, Saturday, September 2, 2006, 1:00 PM!
We thought this would be a great event to have to cap off the City Projects.

There will be two goals to this Click and Shoot.

1) To learn and gain inspiration from each other while we shoot -- just like we always do with our group photo outings.

And 2) To take some beautiful pictures to add to our group Tabblo of the Public Garden.
I'm going to this. I've wanted to get a Boston flickr photo walk going for a while. This is a great opportunity to start.

Posting Video

Sometimes posting a video isn't that easy. This post didn't start out to be a test bed for all the video blogging hosting services, but it seems to be turning out that way. ;-)

First Try:
Lifeblog - I sent a video, via a Nokia N93 cell phone using Lifeblog to Typepad. I got the error "Web server reported error." Doesn't tell me enough. Sent a request into support.

Second Try:
Hipcast - Uploading and posting is easy. The encode to Flash darkened the first few frames. I sent in a support request to have them re-encode. I work with Eric and Hipcast and I've never seen this before. Maybe jsut a glitch.



Third Try:
Vimeo - Here to, uploading and posting was easy. The encoded Flash video made the audio go out of sync with the video. I've emailed them. I haven't seen this happen on Vimeo before either.



Nokia N93 Photo Sent via Lifeblog WiFi on Vimeo

Third Try, Part Two:
FreeVideoCoding - The generated code gave me a nice still frame that played when you clicked on it, but no text link URL, so I made one, but that video plays in a new window, which is inconsistent with the video playing as an embeded video. I used the original .mov file that is hosted on Vimeo for this one.


Photo to Typepad via Lifeblog on Nokia N93


Click to Download

Fourth Try:
Vlog Central - Uploading and posting to blog was easy. Encoding gave me a QuickTime and Windows version which both played as embeded when clicked on. I've been a beta user of Vlog Central for a while now and it always works. It'll be good to see it be available to a wider audience.




This post will be updated as I hear back from the different video hosting services mentioned. Don't think of this post as being finished. It's an ongoing collaborative post between me, the vendors and you the readers.

Blip.tv - Since I'm uploading all over the place, here's the video over on Blip.tv too. Initial thumbnail is black and uploading a new thumbnail on blip is failing. I've got an email in to support. Again, this usually does not happen.



Watch the Video

YouTube - Here's the video on YouTube. It also has a few dark frames at the start. Something quirky with Flash encoding I guess. I changed the HTML to make it smaller on the blog [ width="300" height="225" ]:



Please comment. Thanks.

More testing of the Nokia N93 is on my Nokia N93 test Center Blog.

Eric Rice: Charismahiki

Eric Rice writes: Burnout Series: Should I go to Podcast Expo?
Funny thing that I’m noticing personally is that I’m taking less and less gear with me to conferences. All I brought with me to SLCC was my laptop, which was on the THIRD day, not the first two. I use my mobile for IRC and email, and periodic IMing.

Didn’t bring a camera.
Didn’t bring the iRiver.
Didn’t bring the video cam.

Now I’m not even bringing the laptop. (okay, proximity has a lot to do with it)

Is my body the next thing?

Hello, hello....hello... heelllooo

I just got a follow up call on a recent car service appointment.

They use a computer system to place the calls I guess, so I had to say hello, 5 times before they responded. I almost hung up.

I said, "Hello, hello....hello... heelllooo."

Then she said hello.

I asked, "what were you doing, sleeping?"

Then she did the survery with me.

At the end of the call the rep said, "An I don't ever sleep on my job."

I found that rude.

She should have kept that to herself.

On a scale of 1-5, I give that phone operator a 2.

realVerse on Josh Wolf


Bethany over at realVerse comments on Josh Wolf's situation:
"This episode was produced by realVerse for Hotair.com. It focuses on Josh Wolf, a video blogger recently jailed in San Francisco."
Jay Dedman sent a comment in, but it hasn't shown up yet on their blog, so I'm posting it here:
"It'd be good if you linked back to our orginal video that you are
using. It's licensed under Creative Commons non-commercial

http://ryanishungry.com/?p=12

This full video also helps put your editorialization in clearer perspective.
Josh says he did not record any crime. He has offered to let the judge scan the tape, but the judge refuses.
The reason Josh refuses to turn in the tape is so the Government cannot use it to make a database of protestors. Don't think it
happens?

Regardless of what political side you're on, we should all agree that journalists are not agents of the government. If people feel that a journalist's raw tapes and notes can be used against them...who would then trust a journalist? Government then squashes the media's ability to cover stories.

There's a great right wing/left wing debate that happened here:

Blogger Finally Copies Wordpress


Over on the the Blogger official blog they just announced that a new version of Blogger is being rolled out, Blogger Buzz: Blogger in beta:
"If you can't wait, you can create a new account on the beta now and make a new blog to test out the new features. Because the new Blogger uses Google Accounts, you can use your existing Google login, or create a new one. (Later, you'll be able to merge your current and beta accounts, and have all your blogs in one place.)"
They're adding categories! Finally. There's also drag and drop features to that allow you to change how you blog looks including easy ways to manage content on your toolbar.

I created a new blog, Nokia N93 Test Center to check out the new features.

Washington Post wants to own your video


The Washington Post has a Video Mash-Up contest happening where you answer questions from Post political reporter Dana Milbank::
"Welcome to the washingtonpost.com Video Mash-Up, where our readers have the opportunity to create their own interview clips opposite Post political reporter Dana Milbank. We provide the questions, you provide the answers!"
Sounds like fun until you get to the Terms and Conditions:
(1) WPNI will make available to User on its Web site, located at [URL](the "Site"), a video that contains one-half of an interview with a celebrity. User may then splice the video with footage of him/herself, or a friend or associate, participating in the other half of the interview ("Recording"). After completion of the Recording, the User must submit the Recording to WPNI.
"...the User must submit the Recording to WPNI"

What is up with that? In this meme crazy world of YouTube, I would think that the Washington Post would want to have their videos posted to as many sites as possible, AND viewed as much as possible.

Now lets take a look at what happens to your rights after you agree and upload your video:
(4) User agrees to grant and assign all right, title and interest in the Recording to WPNI.
Wrong again.

Take a look at the Terms of Service over at Blip.tv, which says in part:
Blip.tv does not claim ownership of the materials you post, upload, input or submit to the Blip.tv site.
That's the way to do it.

If you use this video, please list the video credit as "Steve Garfield / SteveGarfield.com" in the video and on any associated blog post, and link the credit to stevegarfield.com
Thanks.
