   Hi Gena
   I wanted to re-dress your statements to make sure I understand the
   bared meaning of your suggestiveness: I take it under my belt that you
   would support the erection, by me, of a site to do with somewhat nude
   - or, who are we kidding, quite nudaceous - beefcakes, delivering
   their daily events in the form of of a beefcakey, newsy-type tech
  showing?
   If that's the case, I wanted to satisfy you, that we are indeed
   working ourselves up to such a fever; when bikinizero opens up into
   having better legs under itself, we most definitely have the plan to
   emit forth another show, called 'BeefcakeNews.com'; Our huge handling
   of the bikini news must of course come first, as we are men and must
   follow our prime instinctuals, and by that I mean doing women first in
   bikinis, and after that we of course can fit in a man to deliver.
   Just messing with you :)
   We do in fact have plans to do a show called Beefcake news; we
   need a few months of getting BikiniZero established and solid, and
   then we can do one for the ladies! Thanks for your comments, you are
   funny enough to be a BZ writer!

Hey Jan, I don't want men in a bikini. I want the men folk naked!
 And
when they have to demo a product I want men to wiggle in front of
 the
camera just like the women folk seem to do.
   
I don't object to the show. They certainly put a lot of time and
effort into it. I just want parity. I want a dude with the muscally
muscles to talk to me about the advantages of high speed SD cards. I
want discussions about hard drives to go in a whole new direction.
   
Oh, if he's got some meat on his thighs that's alright with me. And
 if
he is a bear or bare with the hair I don't care. Fair is fair. When
they make a point there should be a point that is visible to all.
   
Now I am willing to be flexible. If they can find the right skimmy
skimp for the guys to wear that would be acceptable. Stay away from
plaid tho. It don't do it for me. I'd actually have to concentrate
 on
what he was talking about.
   
So if the folks at BikiniZero can see a way to be more gender
inclusive, I will certainly do my part to spread the word.

I hadn't given any thought to the statistics behind whether it's men
or women that exploit the advantage over silly men of sex sells, but
I'd have to guess that you're right and that there aren't enough women
behind the camera as it were in these situations.  Women are being
'used' to drive interest in shows or websites, but other than being
hired as on-air talent, they're probably not too involved in the
process.

I wonder how tough it would be for a group of women to get together
and create a production company or whatever to 'exploit' their own
(meaning women in general, not THE women of the production company.
:D) aesthetic advantages.

A possible reason why not is that ambitious women wouldn't be inclined
to 'stoop so low' to add to the stereotype of utilizing sex or
sexuality to make a profit.

Who knows?

Interesting question. :D

2007-03-25 Thread ryanne hodson

i think the elitist label is bullshit.

i think this list is great
people are welcome to rant and rave
and get to the nitty gritty of online video
hell meiser and watkins post novels every day...

and it's insane how much people help each other tirelessly on this list
to figure out tech stuff.

i've been on other lists of videomakers
and people aren't nearly as helpful as on this list.
usually the answers/attitudes are just google it
or go find it on a message board

so i'd like to sing the praises of this group.

after visiting the cold harsh lists of other video groups
i gladly return to the videoblogging list for a passionate rant
and friendly fisticuffs daily. (ok it's more than that)

as for helping people
watkins are you holding any events?
are you getting people to videoblog?

i think the list you stated
is a good example of what people in this community are capable and willing
to create
and i think that's pretty fucking amazing.
and if you don't think that's enough
it's up to you (and anyone really)
to do something about it.

i love the videoblogging list
no matter how crazy it can get.

   Cheers, although I dont actually think that stuff was a problem or
 really a reflection of any problems the group may have. I spend so
 much time here stating my opinions, that I cant really complain if
 anybody else ever states an opinion about me.

 I think its quite normal that people would maybe treat my opinions on
 vlogging differently if I actually vlogged a lot and they could 'see
 me' more. If I had ever had a sucessful web business then my opinions
 on other businesses might be taken differently by some, etc etc. And I
 can see why it might seem weird to spend so much time on a blogging
 group and reading and whining my opinions, when Im not blogging,
 vlogging or doing a business or even having all that much time to
 watch video.

 Anyways, I have been someone who moaned here and there about elitism
 or some other aspects of this group, but Ive also been fairly negative
 about possible alternatives. For me the group is healthy if opinions
 are diverse, so I wouldnt mind a few elitist comments here and there
 as it would reflect the fact there must be someone somewher who holds
 such views. Just so long as the whole group doesnt suffer from such
 things. Same with clique stuff, I think there may have been some
 tendencies towards this but it was never the whole group, it was
 clumps of people or even just one person using wording that might have
 sounded elitist, and maybe was or wasnt, it never usually got explored
 in depth, possibly because the label 'elitist' sounds negative so not
 many people think they are guilty of that.

 Some of the things that might put newcomers off this group are
 accidental or systemic, or chance. For example there are still threads
 people post that never get responded to. If its someone like me
 posting then it doesnt really matter because I post a lot, but a
 lurker or newbie who posts and is then largely or completely
 unresponded to, may suffer more as a consquence. Generally this isnt a
 huge problem and someoneusually steps up to the plate, or if there is
 silence then it may be for a good reason, or there is jsut too much
 email, but thats the sort of thing I think could be improved on by
 improving systems rather than it being a case of the wrong people
 being here.

 So I wouldnt suggest stating another group unless it had some things
 at its core that would make it pretty fundamentally different to this
 group. I dont know quite what this means in practice, but for example
 if the conversations were mostly video then it would feel different.

 I mean I wouldnt know if its possible to make the group either more or
 less like it was in the past. Time has moved on, various people have
 various reasons for not posting much to this group, their own personal
 vlog voyage may have moved on. Also not everyone is as willing to
 endlessly repeat themselves as I am, so once they've said everything
 they could think to say here, and the honeymoon burst of initial
 energy has worn off, things change.

 Also I suspect that over time various events, arguments, watershed
 moments in this group, make some people wary of bringing up certain
 subjects. The virtual presence of certain strong characters or
 opinions can leave its mark. Over the years of being online, Ive
 occasionally got paranoid in various communities (usually forums) ive
 been in, that my words may be doing more harm than good, which leads
 to me shutting up for months to see if its a better place without me.
 And over the years in this group I have sometimes questioned m worth
 which usually elicits enough replies to make me stick around, but then
 I feel guilty about email traffic being generated arounf the topic of
 me, when I dont really think theres anything very interesting to talk
 about me, which is one of the many reasons

Bikes Against Bush http://www.bikesagainstbush.com was my graduate
thesis project, a combination of mechanical engineering, WiFi,
interactive mobile messaging, and videoblogging. It was featured in
Popular Science magazine for the engineering design of the bicycle
that printed chalk text messages sent through SMS and from my website
onto streets and sidewalks in NYC.

Apparently, the NYPD considered this project to be a threat and was
determined to shut it down. They had a copy of the Popular Science
article in a file along with 4 pages of notes as to why my project was
a threat. This led to my bizarre arrest, which happened on national
television while I was being interviewed by Ron Reagan on MSNBC's
Hardball.

I was arrested with no crime being committed. Just simply plucked from
the street, jailed for 24 hours, and my computer, cell phone and
bicycle confiscated and held for over a year (the bicycle was never
returned). The fake charges against me were dropped 6 months later.

The NYTimes article confirms what I had long suspected -- that the
NYPD was unlawfully conducting surveillance of artists, activists, and
others seeking to exercise free speech at the RNC convention in 2004.

Here are the videos:

The Arrest -- Street Footage
http://www.bikesagainstbush.com/blog/bikesarrest.mov

MSNBC Interview
http://www.bikesagainstbush.com/blog/msnbc_8-29-2004_med1.mov

BikesAgainstBush was important because it was one of the earliest
demonstrations of the power of the blogosphere to distribute video --
the raw street-footage of the arrest circulated around the blogosphere
and was viewed by millions of people both before and after the edited
version aired on MSNBC's Hardball.

Immediately after this project, I began working on software to
distribute video via RSS. I met Jay Dedman around this time in NYC,
and we began working together. This became ANT (ANT's Not Television)
and later FireAnt http://FireAnt.tv.

I wanted to share my thoughts here, in the videoblogging community, as
I'm reflecting today on the state of media, how far we've come and the
work that remains...

Best,
Josh

Hey sull,

That wasn't my point, and (that time) I wasn't even touting Mefeedia.

I just remember all the fuss last year when technorati wasn't keeping up 
with the tags...and that I missed the discussion, was curious to hear 
what wonderous things had been discussed.

Since we figured there might be a lapse in tag tracking this year, we 
have spent a bit of effort to see if we can keep up with 
Videobloggingweekand some of that effort has been in rounding out 
the tags that we parse from the rss post.  So, the short answer, is we 
track tags as they come in from the posts and also you can tag clips at 
Mefeedia.

...and you don't have to enlighten me on how this community works sull, 
I know all too well :)

Thanks Jan, that's a better way of what I was trying to say.  Use all 
the main tagging services you can handle, not just one.

I think we've fixed up the blogger-mf formatting, please let me/us know 
if you see something that looks goofy.

The new changes related to tagging involve parsing the description, 
content and content:encoded of the rss item/post for rel=tag (this 
should be in everyone's workflow imho) as well as adding keywords from 
media:keywords, media:category and itunes:keywords.

I was pretty surprised how many people don't tag their clips.

[videoblogging] Intro: The Gameshelf

2007-03-25 Thread Jason McIntosh

Hi folks,

I just discovered this group by way of the most excellent blip.tv,
where I just relocated my own show, The Gameshelf. I don't really
consider it a vlog as it's not very bloggy in style or presentation,
and more like a traditional half-hour TV show. In fact, it's produced
as a community access TV show where I live in Somerville,
Massachusetts (just north of Boston), but I consider it more of a
video podcast than a literal television program.

Its blip page: http://thegameshelf.blip.tv

The show features my friends and me examining obscure games of all
sorts, including board, parlor, and digital games. I've produced five
episodes so far, all of which you can see on blip. The first four were
largely produced at the end of 2005, but I published the most recent
(and certainly the best) one just a few weeks ago, and I consider it
the start of our second season. I hope to make a couple more before
summer. I also want to concentrate more on both promoting the show and
becoming more active in the online video-production community. So, hi!
I'd love to hear comments and criticism about my work.

Joshua, I woke up this morning and heard a brief story on NPR about
this. I said to myself, I'm probably in some dang database. I heard
something about an RNC/NYPD work task force. 

For those outside the U.S.
http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/03/25/news/protest.php

This is a direct result of an imperial presidency and the PATRIOT Act. 

And yeah, I've suspected that we had/have increase scrutiny from
certain governmental agencies in this list as well. I could say that
it is a perverse badge of honor. But that may be a little too
optimistic spin on this. 

I could bring up ancient anger and say that this is what we get when
Americans collectively chose not to participate in the process of
elections. That this is what we get when in fear mode we permit all
kinds of abuses in the name of safety.

My country tis of thee?  Sometimes yes, lately ???

This is one instance where being African-American helps me to cope
with this kind of thing. It happens. You were not a person. You were
an objective. A Not Like Us person. The Other. 

It will continue to happen until attention is focused on this event.
NYPD has to be made to feel so uncomfortable that it will promises
heaven and earth not to do it again. Unlikely but possible. 

Be angry. Be aggressive in finding out the complete truth and be
strong in your conviction that you were exercising your rights as a
citizen.

After you do all of that. Acceptance. The acceptance part is that you
and your rights were violated. As you think about it more it is gonna
eat at you. You will need to find a healthy way to discharge that
energy. It will take some time. Because you are going to realize just
how deep this cuts and the number of layers this is going to penetrate
your being.

The best metaphor I can give you is in the winter when the wind blows.
You are standing there. The wind blows. Because of the wind chill
factor it feel much colder than what it is in reality.

You have two choices:

One is to clench up and take it full blast - this will ensure the
shivers. Discomfort. A loss of personal power. Until it stops. 

Two is to accept the wind and allow it to pass through you. You are
still cold but you decide what you will and will not latch on to as
you deal with this situation. 

I wish I had better words for you. I know what I'm trying to say but
it isn't coming out right. So I'll stop with do the best you can.

Wow.  I could do a few pages on this, but I won't.
There is an amazing documentary by Adam Curtis, part 3/3 on tonight  
on BBC2 at 9pm.  It's called The Trap, and it's about how we are  
losing/have lost our freedom.  It's very, very good.  All Brits on  
the list should check it out.

Everybody else can check it out in several parts at http:// 
www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVZBkelUft8
It will play on PBS later this year, like his previous doc The Power  
Of Nightmares.

I feel a bit embarrassed to be linking to a BBC documentary from a  
mainstream doc director here.  I know I'm not alone in having all  
these hopes for what online distributed media and particularly video  
can do to help change tyrannical bureaucratic secretive abuse of  
power like this and break the illusion of our impotence.  I keep  
telling myself Be The Change You Wish To See In The World, and trying  
to find ways to make this happen in my life through online video.   
I'm not there yet, but this group (tying back into Harold's thread)  
has obliquely and unwittingly helped me make quite amazing personal  
and political realizations over time and some of the stuff you all do  
I find buttock-tighteningly inspiring.  Regardless of social  
dynamics, which I believe are considerably less poisonous and more  
accepting here than in other places.

Why calculate the lowest common denominator when the high denominator is so

 I hadn't given any thought to the statistics behind whether it's men
 or women that exploit the advantage over silly men of sex sells, but
 I'd have to guess that you're right and that there aren't enough women
 behind the camera as it were in these situations.  Women are being
 'used' to drive interest in shows or websites, but other than being
 hired as on-air talent, they're probably not too involved in the
 process.

 I wonder how tough it would be for a group of women to get together
 and create a production company or whatever to 'exploit' their own
 (meaning women in general, not THE women of the production company.
 :D) aesthetic advantages.

 A possible reason why not is that ambitious women wouldn't be inclined
 to 'stoop so low' to add to the stereotype of utilizing sex or
 sexuality to make a profit.

 Who knows?

 Interesting question. :D

 There is an amazing documentary by Adam Curtis, part 3/3 on tonight

 You have two choices:

 One is to clench up and take it full blast - this will ensure the

 Two is to accept the wind and allow it to pass through you. You are
 still cold but you decide what you will and will not latch on to as
 you deal with this situation.

 I wish I had better words for you. I know what I'm trying to say but

It's a track-off. LOL

Jan, even though videoblogging week is truely about making media,
thank you for your feedback on the technical aspects. They're much
appreciated. That goes for everyone. I'm sure the tech will descend to
the background as we get nearer videoblogging week so we can focus on
all the beautiful content.

Speaking of which, I am planning on participating this year, but I may
be a little off them. Being as how I can never fully remove myself
from the tech. I'm going to vlog completely from the Linux operating
system and using only open source tools. It's a great exuse for me to
get an intimate understanding of how close vlogging is to breaching
the digital divide. I do believe linux is the key. Maybe I can actuall
make some screen casts. :)

Geeky me.

I just can't wait until we decide on a theme!

I hope we've not swayed the focus, mefeedia is not sponsoring vbweek,
we're not co-oping it we're just taking the opportunity to test metal
and see if we can't do right by the community and fill in that gap
left by services like technorati which isn't focused on media, and
working with brother and sister tools like blip, dabble, delicious and
others... we can track videoblogging week across any service INCLUDING
youtube just as long as that service fully supports RSS 2.0 and
MediaRSS.  and wil I love that the majority of vloggers here care
enough to craft their own vlogging experience I really hope we cast a
wider net and get people participating on services from revver, to
youtube, to Vimeo and others.  We're even starting to work on
platforms like second life to get video and audio podcast syndicated
to and from sl.

But all this is just good sentiment. What it comes down to now is it
either works or doesnt... either people will only be able to
collaborate really well within the context of great but ultimately
closed serices like Flickr and Youtube... or Dabble, mefeedia and
other trackers and searchers to follow will increasingly find ways to
bring those sollaborative mechanisms OUT of the walled gardens and
build the infrastructure to make robust interoperable collaborative
and social spaces no matter where you host your vlog, post your media
or otherwise.

 Take half a dozen vloggers who post every day of VBW and first thing 4/8 run
 'em through the test mill with screenshots of the results

We would love your continued critique. And I think it might be good
for others if they're listening too.

Which reminds me... I need to take a new look at SpinXpress. They seem
to be on the other end of the spectrum... i.e. private, non-public
media collaboration, but I'm curious if there aren't more ways to open
spin express up so that there can't be more public space for
intereaction with it to... i.e. does spin express do RSS? Can I
subscribe to a project feed either with a private secure RSS feed or a
public one? I lament that I haven't had more time to play with it.

 Mefeedia's gonna have to do something outstanding to have me drag them back
 into my burgeoning workflow.

We'll get cha'. Thanks to frank we finally have the resources to
follow through on many of the projects we've been dying to work on. :)

 It kinda lost me when the formatting from Blogger -- Mefeedia stopped
 translating well. I couldn't bear to look at the destruction the cross-post
 wrought.

We've done MANY huge improvements, special thanks to Devlon, on tag
aggregation and I'm sur if you check any and all your feeds we're now
grabing your tags. If we're not let us know.

This does remind me though that Blogger.com 2.0 has a new mechanism
for tagging posts. It's called labels.

That's a good question for Devlon. Does mefeedia handle blogger.com's
new labels?  Labels is new in blogger.com 2.0. I don't know how it's
included in the RSS feeds, just that it should be included somehow
because Technoratti picks up on it.

 Do Mefeedia and Technorati read / recognize Blip's tags?

Jan, absolutely.

Blip specifies their tags in RSS and mediaRSS.  Mefeedia will pick up
tags just as long as they are included when you upload the video... if
you are however tagging your videos after you post them to blip... say
12 or more hours later and mefeedia has already crawled your blip feed
there is a chance we may miss them as I don't believe we re check old
posts for new tags. This is typical of the way RSS works though.

The question is for blip.

If you are tagging on blip and then cross posting to your blog do they
include tags in the cross post using the technorati proposed rel=tag
satandard?

I've recently been talking a lot about how cross posting from blip
(and other services) is the weak link in the meta-info chain. Blip has
all sorts of great meta info such as geolocation info, thumbnails,
alternate video formats like flash, and so much more  but when

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Let's Help The Others, As We Used To, To Vlog

YAY!

i reckon you get what you come for.  despite some people knowing each  
other, it's not a personal space.

i think if you come here seeking tech knowledge, there's no better  
place to get it.

if you come here to give - to flex mental muscles, talk about online  
video in a wider sense or share knowledge - there's still no more  
satisfying place i think.  even if conversations tail off, get  
repeated, fragment, get distracted.  as sull suggests, there IS room  
for a space to develop innovative ideas and philosophize in a more  
focussed way, but that will take nothing away from this place.

if you come here to make friends, get in with people, or boost your  
vlog viewership, you're going to have problems because that's not  
what it's about and it's too chaotic and open to service anybody's  
ego or needs.  go to a meetup, or be yourself on your vlog and  
correspond with viewers, or email/IM/twitter with people offlist, or  
whatever.

sure there are lots of people who know each other and of course  
there's an aura of knowledge and experience around the folks who have  
been doing this for years, but i think it's 99% about knowledge and  
experience, not how cool you are.  and i think those people use this  
forum very responsibly, hardly ever to pal around and show off about  
their friendships in a Myspace/Youtube way (or like on a lot of other  
Groups).  i like writing a lot here at the moment, and i'm interested  
in a lot of what i read, but i don't expect anything personal from  
anybody.  what it is for me is a place to develop an interest about a  
specific thing that i can't do anywhere else, in real life or  
online.  i might get a vague sense of whether i'd get on with people  
if i ever met them outside this list - but that's for outside the list.

  I think its quite normal that people would maybe treat my opinions on

 I think I got some traffic out of it but it's hard to track because
 they didn't actually link back to my vlog. Which was an oversight on
 the part of the web management people according to the reporter who

 nice to see it linked when the story was actually posted--especially
 since the anchor said on air that it would be linked after the story
 ran... morons.

All I can say is this is why I LOVE your intro... it's an infectious
and GOOD jingle that repeats your name both visually and audibly... lo
fi st. lous rock n roll rock n roll lo fi st. louis.

We must remember while all these high-tech things like URLS work in
the webby world in the video world it's all about the age old
cognitive issues... like naratives, story telling, melody, catchy
advertising jingles, repetition, branding and so on.

I think if someone saw the piece and were interested and even remotely
internet savy they'd be able to google you pretty quick with no
problem.

We've discussed brand here on the yahoo group before promting many
people to create their own domain names like michaelverdi.com or
yourname.com... or yourprimaryinterest.com and I'm glad to see most
people are pretty savy.

Also we've discussed always putting your domain name in the outro...
yet more great advice.

Perhaps now it's time to up the anti and discuss the value of DAMN
good intros.  Quite frankly... if I was a professional videographer...
and not just a tech geek who loves vlogs... I'd either make or hire
you and or chriss weagel to make me the best intro ever.

Chri's intro for his sister Sara's vlog Sara's Corner was perhaps
the best intro ever.

These intro's are important not just because they're memerable, but
because they remind people about what the vlog is about i.e rock n
roll, rock n roll or it's about me! Sarah! but because they remind
us of what we love best about these vlogs.

BTW!  The other aspect that I think comes across really well is it's
important to be the narrator and get in front of the camera... One of
the most obvious aspects of the news piece to me is that Bill Streeter
is this guy... and this is what he looks like... and this is what he
likes to do hall his drinking buddy around to shows and cover
unique and interesting people in St. Louis.

I do wonder... if you bill hadn't started appearing in front of the
camera on occassion in your shows would the local TV network have
bothered to call you.

I think people instinctually gravitate toward people they can identify
with.  And... while it's not for everyone... i.e. me... I do think
reporters, press, and everyday listeners will continue to tune in with
personalities... and not just shows.  Call it the Ze Frank effect...
I think his insane editing and exagerated focus on personality and
face time drives this point home like no other.  Even more so then
other popular shows like Ask A Ninga, or Rocketboom... Need I mention
Brookers or LisaNova... if the medium is the message, then the
messages is

new media is about PEOPLE stupid!

LOL

This goes for blogging and podcasting as well.

Oh, the power of a picture of your face on your profile / blog / video.

To recap...

1) domain name... always include your domain name somwehre visually in your vlog

2) intro... snappy short intros that emphasis what your vlog is about
and who you are... and the name of your vlog rule... because you can't
always expect people to remember a silly domain name... most people
have a cognitive aversion to remembering domain names.

3) get in front of the camera... if you dare... best thing you can do.

That about sums this email up.

Well... I'll shut up now.

Re: [videoblogging] My videoblogging roots and today's NYTimes article

Excuse me... but mother fucker!

This confirms all my suspicious about the massive waste of resources
and abuse of power that is the Patriot Act. You know this stuff goes
on but rarely does it hit so close to home or present itself in such
an obvous way.

Granted not all examples are so wastefull..  but this is the fucking
height of absuridity and abuse against free speech, civil rights, and
worst of all intellectual and artful cultural exploration.

It is now obvious that it was a completely politically motivated
attempt to use the NYPD's resources to silence opposing speech against
Bush and the RNC.  They obviously saw the publicity of bikes against
bush as some form of attractor, promotional, or escallating element
bringing attention to the RNC and anti-bush movement at a time when
the city wanted to reduce attention in the press of the subject matter
and play down activity.

We already know that the majority of all arrests from teh rallies and
the critical mass bike ride around this time were thrown out... that
they arrested people knowing full well they had no grounds purely to
hold them in jails for 48-72 hours until after the RNC.

The thing is they dirctly deprived you of your property and speech not
just around the RNC but for months and MONTHS afterwards by
confiscating and refusing to return your technology so you could
demonstrate and present on it...

This is particularly disturbng because it was a largely intellectual,
artful and largely positive endevor. Indeed it functions in a space
that Eyebeam and other artful and educational resources continue to
funciton well with-in right now.  I think you could in fact consider
it an attack on the educational system that is NYU/ITP (or was it
Parsons? I forget.)  Did the school back you in any of this? I'm
guessing not, but they should be backing up their students... they
should have provided some legal council to you. It is in fact they
that have lost our as much as you.

So... did the police actually stake you out and wait for an
opportunity to arrest you when they were on the street with your bike?
It's not clear from the information I've yet read, but it seems to
suggest they didn't simply happen upon you on the street.

We all knew the charge of vandalism was bunk... now we see that it was
not only bunk but that it may have been planned from the very
beginning.

It's begining to look like they literally staked you out and sent
someone to arrest you on trumped up charges if need be... not the case
of some officer bumping into you on the street as it had been
originally presented, even if questionably.

There's more than enough legal grounds and I hope you find a lawyer
who's interested in a conter suit... not for the money... in fact give
the lawyer all the money if need be... but to make a statement of this
event for all our sakes.  It's simply a disgusting abuse of power that
makes me worry about our future.

BTW, if they were possibly keeping an eye on you, how did they know
you'd be on the street talking to Michael Regan of Hardball?  Was it
by any chance pre-anounced?

Let's back up though with the questions.

Right now what I'd like is a completely synopsis somewhere where I can
link to it and blog about it.

I was going to recommend you try and summarize it all up in a blog
post, but I realize even for you the facts are evolving so I'd really
sggest an open wiki. Perhaps PBwiki?


My personal motivations are not so much in seeing some action come of
this... though I think you should contact a lawyer... but
intellectual.  I hope we can document the facts of this case so it can
be referred to and made presentable as a study for  bloggers,
activists, book writers, lawyers, journalists, professors.

I personally find it an extremely interesting case and would certainly
help gather the facts and details on a wiki. In fact I'll even start
the wiki if you give it you yourself will agree to help with the facts
and details. Indeed I think I should have hour enthusiastic blessing,
because without your input much of the detail will be lost and the
facts no doubt sketchy.

Is there anyone else here interested in this proposed project.

Speaking of which... I'm increasingly aware of the value in Josh
Wolf's legal points... they are at the very height of legal argument
today and in the coming years as the masses start shooting and sharing
videos...  that we and our cameras cannot and should not be turned
into the eyes and ears of an orwellian style government surveilence
system.

Does anyone know if there's an information resource on this in wiki form?

Maybe the place for this stuff might be on wikipedia in fact. If it's
going to go up on wikipedia though it cannot be presented as original
research it must in fact be footnoted and thoroughly referenced.
While much tougher I think it's far more worthwhile and useful to work
on wikipedia... I find the peer review process to be flexible enough,
and critical enough to be be worthwhile.

That's it from me

[videoblogging] eBay suspension lifted! WS auction back online.

2007-03-25 Thread bottomunion

The Wreck  Salvage sponsorship auction is back online, finally. 
After a lot of faxed paperwork, and no formal explanation from anyone
at eBay as to why we were suspended, we're finally selling
sponsorships again.

http://www.wreckandsalvage.com/auction

It's is virtually impossible to talk to a live representative at eBay.
 They like to keep their customers at a virtual arm's length, and will
reply when they are damn well ready to, and no sooner.  All this being
said, we're happy the suspension was lifted.

It's dirt cheap right now, sorta stole our thunder.

[videoblogging] Youtube / vbweek07

So I just interrupted an interesting conversation on Twitter about  
whether this group is discriminating against the millions of  
YouTubers - are we informing them about videobloggingweek07?

Obviously, they can tag their videos, but do any of them even know  
about it?  The thrust of the question was, do we have an attitude of  
If It's Not Here, It's Not Real?

I said I didn't think most people had that attitude - but it seemed  
to me that rather than it being about us rejecting youtubers, that  
it's more a question of most youtubers not being interested in what  
we do because the idea of this forum is irrelevant to them.  they  
have their tech needs taken care of, and they have brand identity   
loyalty that gets in the way of them wanting to be part of a group of  
independent videobloggers.

so my point was that the discrimination (for want of a better word)  
is on their part.  but actually maybe it cuts both ways.

we say we're open to them, but actually we know that the majority of  
what's discussed here is academic or alien to them and so they won't  
join in.  we don't reach out to them, we just let it lie.  a sin of  
omission, rather than commission.

when we have an event like vbloggingweek, surely the onus is on those  
who know about it to market it to those who don't, rather than on  
them to break their habits and come beyond their walls.  that way we  
will get more varied responses from the minority of YT users to whom  
it would appeal but who otherwise wouldn't hear about it.  i'm all  
for that.

there are 43 videos tagged for videobloggingweek06 on the whole of  
Youtube.  Nothing for 07 under any variety of searches, and it's just  
a few days away.  Josh Leo, you are a YouTube hero and VB week  
promoter... can you trail it to your zillion viewers?? :-)

surely it's too big a pool of people to not reach out to?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Apple TV

iTunes Store purchased video: 320 by 240 pixels or 640 by 480  
pixels.  Neither of which are widescreen, unless letterboxed.

320x240 must look not-very-great stretched out on a screen, unless  
it's played at original size on black bg?  Is it?

640x480 probably looks OK, does it - still a bit pixellated?

Largest it'll take is 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps (why 24? PAL is  
25, NTSC is 30)
or 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps

both of which must produce large file sizes?

What's the best compromise?  What mixes minimal distortion and file  
size?

And how does it display non-widescreen video - with a left and right  
'letterbox' or does it let TV handle that?

The real question is have you watched LO-FI SAINT LOUIS on Apple TV
yet?  Huh? Didn't think so.

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube / vbweek07

2007-03-25 Thread Jay dedman

  when we have an event like vbloggingweek, surely the onus is on those
  who know about it to market it to those who don't, rather than on
  them to break their habits and come beyond their walls.  that way we
  will get more varied responses from the minority of YT users to whom
  it would appeal but who otherwise wouldn't hear about it.  i'm all
  for that.
  there are 43 videos tagged for videobloggingweek06 on the whole of
  Youtube.  Nothing for 07 under any variety of searches, and it's just
  a few days away.  Josh Leo, you are a YouTube hero and VB week
  promoter... can you trail it to your zillion viewers?? :-)
  surely it's too big a pool of people to not reach out to?

this is absolutely a good idea.
perfect time for someone to step up and make a promo video.

as you say...i dont think anyone here discriminates against youtubers.
our communities just have different tech needs and interests.
but in the end...we're all making video.

who has time to make some promos videos for VideoBlogging Week 2007 for Youtube?

By the way...we're planning a pretty cool event this Saturday in SF to
kick of the rest of the week.
more details to come.

Jay
