"Conferences of the future will be on-line, and 24/7/365. A brand. An IRC channel, a Wiki and a marketplace. It's a new paradigm of conferences."

Origin of Podcasting

Dave Winer posts, People with erasers, about being removed from the Wikipedia entry on podcasting.

So I added him back.

Wonder how long this will stay up until someone deletes it.
Podcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Using RSS, David Winer helped former NPR host Christopher Lydon attached audio files to his weblog.
I know how you feel Dave.

The entry for vlog is a mess.

Please note:
On January 1, 2004, Garfield made a New Years resolution to make putting video on the web easier, and documented it with a new video blog, and his video post, "2004: The Year of the Videoblog."

Videoblogger Videoconference: Today at 3:00 PM EDT

Videoblogger Videoconferences - Voxmedia Wiki:
We are scheduled for 12 noon PDT = 3pm EDT = 7pm GMT video conference.

All are welcome.

room is open ten minutes prior for newbies and sound and audio testing please see wiki for agenda and add the items you want to discuss - also other details, archives, participant lists, etc

please add yourself to the participant list: name, vlog, IM, rank and serial number please (if you are new to wiki, just click edit and make like everyone else - register if you like).

Conference NEWBIES Please Note:

1. This is kinda like a walkie-talky. You press the big bar to add/remove your self from queue when wanting to speak (a hand icon will appear/disappear).
2. You MUST press big button when finished speaking to let others have turn.
3. There is a chat tab. Use it please. If you are not sending/receiving audio or video, people can let you know.
4. Do NOT encourage Clint to put his cat on top of his dog.
5. Know that it is ok to drop in anytime during the conference if you can't join at the start.
This is a very cool technology that lets anyone with a webcam/video camera join in on a video conference to both see and talk to each other.

Check it out even it you are not a video blogger. You might want to become one after the conference is over.

Microcasting, videocasting and Multimedia Blogging

Michael Sullivan writes about video and blogging - Yahoo! Groups : videoblogging Messages : Message 13778 of 13787:
I have a videoblog and I syndicate my video content using RSS2 (with enclosures) which allows me to broadcast media on the Internet, though in actuality I am microcasting since I have a small audience/subscriber base.

Video of an Art Mob


Steve Garfield's Video Blog: Art Mob:
The Berkman Blog Group formed an Art Mob and stormed the Institute for Contemporary Art in Boston and ruthlessly blogged the current art exhibit, Getting Emotional, with text, audio, video, and pencils.
It's like you were there.

I love getting comments

Yesterday Jack emailed me to say that my comments link was going to the same page as my permalink.

I checked it out and it was true.

That made me think that my comments were broken.

Turns out that you could still leave comments, but you have to click TWICE, to be able to leave them.

Now, when you click the comments link, you'll be sent right to a page where you can read other's comments and add your own.

Have fun!

Here's the code to use on your blogger blog if you still have the old comments code in there:

Word plus Photo = Paper


wordPhoto.org - commence visual interpretation please.
Photography is often a battle against motivation. Much like writers block can slow down the best authors, photographers can often get lazy without something specific to shoot.

This site presents photographers with a challenge - take a new photograph specifically for the word of the day, and post it for the rest of us to see. The only description and caption you get to include with your image is the word of the day (which the site does for you).
Word.

Art Mobsters:
Andy Carvin Blog Post.
This evening, I joined a group of Harvard Berkman Bloggers at Boston's Institute of Contemporary Art for an "art mob." We would all explore the ICA's current exhibit and blog, vlog and podcast our perspectives.

What follows is an impromtu interview with some of my blogging peers, during which they reveal a diversity of technique . . . one of the aspects of the blogging culture that makes this emerging form of public conversation a constantly unfolding surprise.
Josh Ain:
I'm here in the 'getting emotional' exhibit at the Boston institute of contemporary art, liveblogging with the group from the berkman center. I'm sitting in the middle of the 'feelings portrayed' room, and it is all faces. ... My keypresses puncture the relative silence of the room with staccato breaks. ... The people on the walls are uncomfortable. I'm sitting on the floor, uncomfortable. Yet, this is my favorite room of the exhibit.

You can listen to poscasts without an iPod

Clea Simon writes WBZ gears up for podcasting:
The Infinity initiative will start next month with New York station WINS. The only other details announced thus far about the upcoming launch is that it will offer customized reports designed for iPod listeners, as opposed to the simple computer streaming of the station's live broadcasts.
No.

Infinity isn't designing custom reports just for iPod listeners. You can listen on your computer too, or any portable media player. I'll explain it one more time.

Customised reports are designed for downloading to your computer via an RSS 2.0 feed with enclosures.

These reports are automatically downloaded to your computer by an aggregator such as ipodder, iPodderX, ANT, etc.

You subscribe to the programs that you want to hear, and they are transfered to your computer when there is a new show.

At that point you can choose to listen to the show on your computer OR transfer it to a portable media palyer, of which one option is an iPod.

How To Find Podsafe Music

Chuck is totally evil and stuff.

Musical Baton

I saw that Lisa had written about this Musical Baton meme and found it interesting. She then passed the baton to Sooz who passed it along to me.

Here goes:

Music on my hard drive: 1.25 GB, 11.2 hours.
After my hard drive crashed I decided to only load back the songs that I liked the most. Not the whole CD, like I did when I first imported everything into iTunes. So I've got a library, that when played in shuffle mode, always plays a song that I like.

The last CD I bought was:
Dream #29 by Cindy Bullens. I bought it directly from her from her website. I've been a big fan for a long time.

Song playing right now:
None, but it would be anything by Imogen Heap and if I had to pick one song it would be Let Go by Frou Frou (Imogen and Guy Sigworth), which was used on the Garden State soundtrack.

Five songs I listen to a lot, or that mean a lot to me:
Agenda Suicide - The Faint
Life in Mono - Mono
A Letter From Home - Ulrich Schnauss
Chemicals - The Control Group
Rock You Gently - Jennifer Warnes
How Soon is Now (Smiths Cover) - tATu

Five people I am passing the baton to:
oops.

I dropped the baton.

Let's do this.

I'm passing the baton to the people who read this blog.

If you are reading this, and want to grab the Musical Baton from my hand, go for it and post a link in the comments to your blog post.

Here it is...

Grab it!

Geek My Ride II


I'm working with Tech Superpowers to produce a documentary on the making of the Geek My Ride II installation.

Boston Final Cut Pro User Group - Making Macworld Mobile:
New for the 2005 'Geek My Ride' Lexus are two complete 'backseat' editing suites powered by Apple's Xsan, the shared storage solution that allows for extreme performance with multiple workstations. All of this, made portable by Tech Superpowers, will allow for filmmakers to enter the contest together. With one person working on effects and titling, and the other editing the final video, the emphasis is on team editing in a collaborative environment that has been a staple of the mission and outreach of BOSFCPUG.
See you at MacWorld.
