Google calendar can do that. You can set it to send txt reminders an hour before meetings, or any amount of time you want. It also sends a daily agenda with everything you have going on that day.

[videoblogging] tape reader
I have a Canon mini DVD camcorder which takes a mini DV tape. The connection to the computer is on the side of the camera and I could see after I started working with it that there was a real danger in it becoming loose. Thanks to my dog, who bumped the camera, it did. Now the computer won't read the camera and though the CAMERA works fine, I can't transfer tapes to my computer without finding a camera to borrow. I can send the camera it for repairs, but I can see that there is a great danger of this happening again and I'm wondering if it's worth paying for repairs. I can't afford a new camera, but I'm wondering if there exists such a thing as a tape reader, like we have card readers for digital cameras, which could just be plugged into the computer permanently and eliminate the need for having the camera near the computer at all. A search on the internet yielded only mini DVD players, which I can't use, or it yielded something that was in the $1,000 range. I was hoping for something significantly more affordable. Any ideas? If it's possible to e-mail me privately ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I would really appreciate it, since I am going out of town for the next two days and any response might get buried in the deluge that is this group! Thanks so much for your help. -- Bev Sykes http://funnytheblog.blogspot.com http://funnytheworld.com

Re: [videoblogging] tape reader
The only VTRs for mini DV tape that I'm aware of are much more expensive than consumer grade cameras. Someone should come out with an inexpensive consumer-grade VTR.

[videoblogging] Re: tape reader
Hi Bev, I think you might be having trouble finding what you're looking for because of terminology - rather than a Player, try looking for a DV Deck - you should be able to hire one from a local media company (from Yellow Pages?) for just a few dollars - they're expensive to buy. They always advise that you should use a DV deck instead of your camcorder, both to avoid breaking the DV connection and to avoid wear on your tape heads mechanism.

Re: [videoblogging] will ferrel
No! We mustn't let it die! :) Speaking of What is a videoblog?, Eric Rice twittered about some great little vlogs he'd seen on Youtube. Started with a video called Why Do You Tube?* The guy I'm linking to here has been totally turned on by the experience, just like so many of us have - and I realised how often I used to see psyched-up to-camera pieces from people in this group about why videoblogging is cool, and how rarely I see those now that it's become so familiar to so many of us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPl6QeK87sM Rupert * I'm always slightly annoyed when these popular YT videos/series/ memes have such branded titles - it's like someone replacing the word coffee with Starbucks (i like Starbucks coffee, but you know what I mean) - and sometimes they are little more than a mashup of a lot of people saying things like I am YouTube with reverence... IT'S A BRAND, NOT A VERB! but actually this guy explains that it's an easy shortcut to describe what he's doing ( and think how hard we find it to define videoblogging). It has so far produced 395 video responses. Imagine that. Cool. Oh, and 6169 text responses. Yeah. Why *don't* I Tube??

Re: [videoblogging] RSS feed
Hi, Two ways that I know of. You need to subscribe the podcast then... 1) select the little 'i' icon on the podcast once it's subbed and it's listed under the title and above the description. You can't copy and paste it tho! 2) drag the podcast out of iTunes and onto your desktop. This will create a .pcast file on the desktop, which is just xml. Open that file in a text editor (TextEdit works) and it's there as the 'href' attribute of the 'link' tag. And you can copy and paste :-) (I've only tested that on OS X, don't know if it works on Windows.) On 4/17/07, Steve Garfield [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: good question!
