dropcam internet video monitor
I just installed the dropcam internet video monitor. I got it as a demo unit.
This is a great solution to monitor your home if you are going to be away. Hurricane baring down on your area? Install a dropcam internet video monitor and keep tabs on your home via a web page or iPhone or Android device.
The dropcam is an internet video monitor that is easy to install. For something that has to hook up via WiFi, the installation was seamless.
After following the web based instructions, my dropcam was running on WiFi and I could place it anywhere. The video quality is great.
The BASIC features are always free:
- live viewing on your laptop, iPhone, or Android device

- motion and audio notification sent to your iPhone or iPod Touch
You can upgrade to PLUS for $8.95 per month:

Privacy
You can keep your dropcam video feed private, choose to share a link with family and friends, or make your dropcam public and optionally embed it on a webpage.
Take a look at some Public Dropcams.

You can buy the dropcam online. The audio enabled dropcam costs $279 and the video only version is $199.
I'll be talking about the dropcam on SteveGarfield.tv today, 8/25, at 2 ET.
Jobs charted a completely different path
Boston Globe, Jobs resigns as CEO of Apple:
Steve Jobs, the technology genius who revolutionized personal computers and transformed the way hundreds of millions of people listen to music and use mobile phones, stepped down yesterday as chief executive of Apple Inc., the company he cofounded 35 years ago.One of the authors of this article, my friend D.C. Denison, gave me a call for a quote:
Jobs, 56, was the creative force behind the Mac computer, the iPod music device, the iPhone, and the iPad tablet computer. He has been battling a rare form of pancreatic cancer for at least seven years, and underwent a liver transplant in early 2009.
“I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO, I would be the first to let you know,’’ Jobs wrote in his resignation letter. “Unfortunately, that day has come.’’
Steve Garfield, a Boston online video personality, consultant, and author, remembered being wowed by Apple at the Boston Computer Society meeting in 1984, when Jobs introduced the first Macintosh computer to an enthusiastic crowd of local computer hobbyists.
“He took the Macintosh out of a bag and let it introduce itself, in that computer voice,’’ Garfield recalled. “The audience went absolutely crazy. People were screaming.’’
Garfield bought that first version of the Macintosh, and since then has purchased “at least 10 Apple products: a bunch of iPods, iPhones, Macbooks, iPads. What I like about them is that you just turn them on and they work.
“Take a look at the remote control to your cable box, with all its buttons, then look at an iPhone,’’ Garfield said. “That shows you how Jobs charted a completely different path.’’

Christian Marclay's The Clock Film Comes to Boston
Christian Marclay The Clock 4.07-4.12 via This is a Start
MFA asks early birds to pay $200 to see ‘Clock’
The MFA is charging $200 for the chance to view the first complete Boston presentation by artist Christian Marclay of “The Clock,’’ a 24-hour film installation made up of hundreds of movie and television clips with references synched to real time. The work, which has generated critical acclaim and enthusiastic crowds at other locations, will be presented during the Sept. 17 opening of the museum’s Linde Family Wing for Contemporary Art.
Flock Around ‘The Clock’
But at 9:30 Wednesday morning, with the cold wind raising tears in their eyes, Nick and Elspeth Macdonald from Park Slope, Brooklyn, huddled dutifully in front of the Paula Cooper Gallery along with 20 other people. They were all waiting to get inside to spend a little time with “The Clock,” the widely praised 24-hour film by Christian Marclay that weaves together thousands of snippets from throughout the history of the movies (and, to a lesser extent, television), each clip marking the precise minute, or sometimes the second — with a glimpse of a clock or a watch or a snatch of time-related dialogue — in which the viewers are experiencing it in real time.
Artists at work
Slave to the rhythm
Christian Marclay on deadline
CHRISTIAN MARCLAY, a visual artist and musician, is finishing a masterpiece. He is cooped up in his walk-in-closet of a studio on the fourth floor of a townhouse in Clerkenwell, London. He has calluses on his fingers from clicking a mouse—or mice, rather, as his 24-hour video, “The Clock”, is too big to be loaded onto a single computer. Sometimes he bandages a couple of fingers together to stave off carpal tunnel syndrome. Who would have thought that making concept-driven art would be so physical?
“The Clock” is a montage of clips from several thousand films, structured so that the resulting artwork always conveys the correct time, minute by minute, in the time zone in which is it being exhibited. The scenes in which we see clocks or hear chimes tend to be either transitional ones suggesting the passage of time or suspenseful ones building up to dramatic action. “If I asked you to watch a clock tick, you would get bored quickly,” explains the artist in remarkably neutral English. “But there is enough action in this film to keep you entertained, so you forget the time, but then you're constantly reminded of it.”
Artworks based on appropriation sometimes get ensnarled in copyright issues. “Technically it's illegal,” Mr Marclay says of his elaborate re-mix of cinematic snippets, “but most would consider it fair use.”
Christian Marclay's The Clock: a masterpiece of our times
I should confess, when I first sat down to The Clock, that I had a sneaking, off-message feeling that the humble YouTube "number" compilation might actually be delivering the same idea with less fuss. But that's not true. You have to settle into The Clock, and go into the extraordinary trance-like state that it induces. When I first arrived, I found myself giving a little amused laugh at each appearance of the time. Then the novelty wore off and I became silent. Some other people, arriving after me, went through the same process. I arrived just after 11 in the morning and left before 1pm, so I went through the midday climax of emotions: I expected, and got, Gary Cooper in High Noon. Then there were a lot of shots of clocks and watches and lunchtime and people wondering if it was time for lunch. There were, generally, a large number of shots of Big Ben and large institutional clocks, lots of scenes of people hurrying for trains, late for trains, early for trains, hanging around on platforms. The Clock might turn out to be one of the great train movies.
Christian Marclay’s New iPhone Ad?
In his 1995 film Telephones, artist Christian Marclay spliced together snippets of actors from Hollywood films answering phones. Apple contacted Marclay, he says, to get permission to use the concept for a new iPhone ad (above) that debuted during the Oscars.
He refused. They took the idea anyway.

Interesting new video shopping site: JOYUS
Video Product Page: Tatcha Beauty Papers
Welcome to JOYUS:
"The concept for Joyus came to me late one night when I was seeking a little break from email with some online retail therapy. As I clicked on product image after product image, it dawned on me that surely there must be a better, more entertaining, inspirational, and authentic way to shop online.
We see video as a gamechanger that can bring a flat shopping experience to life. On Joyus, your shopping inspiration starts with fantastic products curated by passionate hosts. But it’s through the power of video that these products come to life. We take you beyond the flat product image and show you why each item is truly great – and how to make it work for you."

#FreeDocumentally
My friend Christian Payne aka Documentally just had his Google+ account suspended. Probably because of the "." he used as his last name.
My Take
Google needs to do a better job programming their skynet robots to give users a chance to clean up usernames where they are not in violation of their common name policy.
It's just a "."
His Post
Another one bites the dust. Thanks Google+
