Re: [videoblogging] Re: Josh Wolf in the Hot Zone

While I do find the conversation about journalism interesting I find
the most important point to be something entirely different.

What rights do we have to be secure in our property... particularly
our videos and other intellectual property.

If the police can sopena Josh's video footage anytime they like like
he was a survelience camera... then why not his computer... We could
just go around and make a grand jury on domestic terrorism...  and
make anyone we think who we've suspected has talked to the ELF
(environmental liberation front) or any group... and send them a
sopoena for all their video, their computers, and any audio
recordings...   basically we can turn any individual in the U.S. into
a tool of survielence for the CIA, FBI or any other government
group and without due process.

The governement was not looking for info specific to one crime, they
wanted Josh's footage so they could identify people in it... basic
survielence.

Josh even offered to let them review the tapes in the presence of the
court... but they obviously wanted his footage for purposes unrelated.

Furthermore... on a state level Josh Wolf would have been protected by
shield laws... the fact that this was a federal grand jury trumped his
rights under the state.

Basically it's a big issue of due process.

I'm not even going to say wether Josh was right or wrong... but I both
respect him and am tremendously grateful to him that he's driving the
discussion and pressing the point.

The bottom line is this... there has been plenty of understanding of
due process when it comes to physical property. Our right to be secure
in our physical property... say a diary... our mail.

But as we move into intellectual property it gets stickier and
stickier.  Phone tapping was one thing... but now that our means of
communication also become self archiving like email, video, photos,
and audio... we have very important NEW considerations because now the
governent can sopoena not just records of meta information like who
you called... but increasingly records of what was said... in email,
audio recordings, video footage, photos.

The funny thing is more of this information is public on our blogs,
video and photosharing sites, twiter... and all over.  This alone
gives the institutions of law enforcement and intelligence tremendous
new powers and tools... I'm not so convinced... well...  I'm downright
opposed to the idea that they also need new liberties and are cutting
through the red tape of due process to get at our personal data.

In a world where the last two years of communications and even IM
transcripts are in my gmail account...  I'm VERY VERY concerned about
how easy legislation is making it to dig into my personal information
and for what reason.

To me what josh wolf's case screams is we the citizens cannot be
turned into survielence tools of the state. There has to be a much
more well define and rigorous due process of how they can gain access
to our private communications histories and for what reasons.

If the police are given a warrant for your home it's given for a
specific purpose... i.e. they can't be given a warrant to search for a
gun and confiscate your entire computer...   this is essentially what
they did to josh wolf... they claimed they wanted his footage to look
for information specifically related to a crime... he testified as to
the content of that footage and he offered to let them review it in
the presence of the court for said content. In refusing to comply they
gave away their true and unspecified intentions.

It's an extremely slippery slope.

 I don't see journalism fulfilling objectivity -- having a faulty claim
 to that idea.  Objectivity requires peer review of source data.  The
 information gathered from news organizations is held mostly in secrecy
 in the businesses which guarantees a significant lack of objectivity,
 since the data can't be independently evaluated.  There is a problem
 of protecting sources -- but that can to a large extent be solved by
 disguising names.  It's more the need of news businesses to scoop each
 other gain a edge by holding information secretive that's the problem.

 The problem is not objectivity in itself, but not adequately
 fulfilling it's requirements.  The danger I fear is a false
 objectivity is attacked and thrown out, rather than corrected to offer
 transparent information that can corrected toward objectivity.

 Ultimately if I understand the larger issues with this discussion we
 need some sort of distributed and transparent means for independant

Re: [videoblogging] twittering posts

2007-04-09 Thread Jen Simmons
When I first heard of Twitter a while ago, I thought it was the  
dumbest thing ever -- yeah, who in the world would want to constantly  
post what I'm doing for IM? I'm not a teenager. I hate MySpace.  
I like talking to real people in the real world. Aren't we already  
fragmented and fast enough? IMing 140 characters at a time -- won't  
that just exacerbate the problems of modern society??

Then at SXSW, Twitter was unavoidable. A lot of people were excited  
about it -- so I signed up to try it out. I understood quickly how  
valuable it is in a group-event situation like a conference. If you  
had Twitter deliver to your phone, you could keep up with who was  
were -- even with people you don't know well, but would like to. It's  
a tool for being the coolest kid on the block, knowing which party or  
panel or place for dinner is the best. It lets you just magically  
show up at the party where the people you want to be with are... you  
can intentionally run into someone at a restaurant and join them --

I wondered post-SXSW if I'd use Twitter in my regular life. I  
wondered if it had any value outside a technology conference, or a  
college campus (where you more easily find your friends), or such  
physically contained places.

Two weeks later (and still without a IM phone plan -- so I only use  
Twitter from my computer), I have to say I absolutely LOVE IT! -- I  
LOVE TWITTER!! Why?? Well, its a super fast way to keep little tiny  
tabs on people who I care about, who are in other cities from me.  
When I'm on, it's a kind of constant connection. It's like being in  
the same house with someone when you aren't talking or doing anything  
together, but you are simply there together.

I've noticed I check my email a lot less. I try to leave email alone  
so I can focus on one thing at a time, but frequently I get just  
bored enough or lonely enough while working (usual by myself) that I  
start checking the email compulsively. Which is never satisfying. I'm  
looking for connections to people / to my friends, and I end up with  
lots of junk, extraneous information, and people asking me for things  
-- which raises my stress level, overwhelms my brain, and creates  
little sense of community. Twitter on the other hand, does create  
community. It's just little bits of saying hi. Hi. I'm here. You are  
there. There's 3500 miles between us / 150 miles / 2000 miles, but I  
see you. We are both bored working out css bugs, or compressing  
videos, or trying to burn DVDs. Banal stuff. Not worth calling anyone  
or emailing anyone to say -- but I'll say it to the vague out there  
world. Hm. Meh. Hi. This is how it's going for me right now.

I've called and skyped people a lot more since using Twitter --  
having a small connection already open, I then want to say more or  
ask more + switch over to voice / live video. Which is cool. Rather  
than feeling disconnected and using the voice to connect -- it's like  
we are already connected and using the voice to take it deeper. I've  
even started new friendships that first started on twitter. I would  
have NEVER thought that was possible.

Of course this only works with other geeks -- so it has no affect on  
all the relationships I have with non-geeks. And who knows what will  
happen over time. I wonder about a lot of things about it -- like do  
I want people I don't know subscribing to my twitter feed? How public  
do I want to be / writing as a celebrity to fans, or how private  
do I want to be, writing as a friend to friends (and therefore being  
more casual / showing raw emotion more, rather than curating what to  
express).

I like it that geek communities take on new technology as an  
experiment, using ourselves as the test animals. Twitter is still a  
big experiment -- one that I am enjoying very much.

Hello,

It's funny how the definition of the word censorship has been
changing.  AFAICT, it used to be about Freedom, but it changed into a
(forced) Right.

I.e., it used to be about Government NOT using coercion against you when you
spoke.  But now it's about forcing people to listen to you when you
speak.  (Like forcing people to keep comments on their blog, etc.)

I know,  I don't understand how deleting a comment from a blog 
amounts to an attack on free speach.  I have deleted comments, they 
where all spam comments, but I still deleted them.  Did I violate the 
spammer's free speach?  If you go by some's definition, I just did.

I understand the fear is that there will be no dialogue but how can 
you have a real dialogue when you sometimes don't even know who you 
are talking to?

[videoblogging] Re: Code Of Conduct for Bloggers

2007-04-09 Thread Bill Streeter
The right of free speech (in the US anyway) can only be violated by 
the government. Meaning it would be unconstitutional for the 
government to regulate speech. You are allowed to regulate speech 
within your own domain--you own house, business, blog, or 
publications you own or control.

Sometimes social pressure is extended to certain 
people/organizations to stifle or not restrict certain speech within 
their own domain--but that's social pressure, not force of law by a 
government. There is a big difference. Example: some political blogs 
might delete comments made by people with opposing views, there 
isn't anything illegal about this--it might be viewed as 
intelectually dishonest and people might complain, but no ones 
rights are violated.

[videoblogging] Who's Attending NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) in Vegas?

2007-04-09 Thread Sunny Gault
Just checking to see who's attending NAB this year. It looks like
they're really expanding their programs/products to benefit anyone
creating content online. In fact, they're calling this weekend their
Podcasting Summit. Hayden Black of Goodnight Burbank is giving the
keynote.

We're taping an episode of our show, Viral, from NAB with a particular
emphasis on the Podcasting Summit. We'd like to meet up with
vloggers/podcasters attending the event and perhaps walk the exhibit
floor to see what new products are being offered and if it truly
benefits people creating online content.

So, if you're planning to attend- please let me know! Exhibit passes
are free but you have to register quickly at www.nabshow.com.

Thanks,

Re: [videoblogging] Skype on Cell

2007-04-09 Thread Rex Pechler
Mike: yes, you can use it with your laptop too (for that same $40/mo). I'm
using it on my Macbook Pro, which works in a pinch, but I wouldn't rely on
it... and I'm usually using a usb cable b/c bluetooth is pretty flakey on my
phone. I hear better results with Windows laptops.

Also, it's not as fast as one of those wireless cards for your laptop, but
still much better than 'stealing data' like I used to do.

 Rex, that $40/mo for unlimited data, can you use it with your laptop

 get through it.

 I'm using Sprint Vision... but they don't let me use it with my laptop
 (I do anyway when I need it), I haven't used it with my laptop in a
 while, but over the years it has increased quite a bit in speed. Last
 time I used it I was getting about 15k a second. The big problem of

 Anyway... I'm sick of Sprint... never liked them... pay them way to

..something I felt like sharing - kinda made me wanna say h.

Its been plenty of times that have been shared over the web when  
people are mistreated or mishandled by the cops or other forms of  
authority.   This youtube clip in particular just shows how backwards  
and corrupt some of OUR law enforcement agencies are and where their  
real priorities are.   Although this may be comical in it s  
deliverance of the prank - i don't think it deserved the end result.

 things to do, and not do during an interview with a guest, from the
 perspective of being the host.  OK, thanks, Ed.

Creative Cow Magazine covered this in...I think it was their February issue.

The big thing to remember is that it's the guest who's the focus, not you,
so just ask a question and let the guest riff.  If you need to steer them
back onto an intended topic, just ask a follow up question, but let the
guest run.  Also, prep is good.  Lots of guests appreciate knowing the
questions you'll be asking in advance, and this gives you both time to
work out what angle the interview will be taking.  Working out the
questions in advance, and even writing them down, can be good because it
gives you a chance to ensure you've got all your bases covered.  Draw up
an outline of points, if it helps you think of more questions.  Also, too
much is better than not enough.  It's better to have an interview go long
than it is to have missed a major point.  Other than that, just remember
you're there to let the guest talk, and it'll go fine.

Unless it's a hostile interview, in which case, disregard that. :)

Re: [videoblogging] question about using vpip in a wordpress blog

2007-04-09 Thread joshpaul
Hi Milt,

I have used vPIP on a few blogs and, from what I can tell, vPIP either isn't
installed or it isn't enabled on your blog. For reference, I didn't see any
calls to a vpip javascript or anything from cirne. You might want to
double-check your install.

As a side note, I'm very glad you posted here, as I was unaware of your
project. I majored in Justice Studies/Pre-Law, with a focus on Native
American Law. I truly look forward to watching what you've put together.

Regards,

Josh

 You know what I think is interesting about twitter?  It's like the 
 techie version of myspace friends.  Now some of you are probably 
 going What?!?!but think about it, part of the appeal from what 
 I hear anyway, is the number of people following you, much like the 
 number of friends people try and get over in myspace


I'm sure there are probably quite a few people that are interested in
who's following them.  I'm sure that's a benefit for some people who
attempt to create large lists of followers. :)

My interest is in who I can follow, not who follows me.  The first day
I joined twitter, I started following someone in the acting/video biz.
 While I was still doing the ONE thing I was doing since I had started
twitter up, according to what she posted, she had visited at least
four different locations and done about six different tasks! :O  It's
interesting to become aware of what people are saying their day is
like, as long as it pertains to a field or topic you're interested in.
 I might find out that Justin Kownacki's finishing his picture edit
for the next STBD, and then, an hour later, I find out he's doing his
sound edit.  That wouldn't be interesting to a farmer, but the time it
takes to go through processes in a field I'm interested in is
consequently interesting to me.  It's also interesting to hear about
people traveling and being in different places from the last time they
twittered... gives a little different spin to things as opposed to
knowing that people were sitting exactly where they were before,
because they were hard-wired to their ethernet connection in their
basement somewhere.

The downside to twitter is that if you're not being followed, people
don't get YOUR communications.  That makes it a situation of being
there, but having no voice.  For voyeurs, that's no problem at all. 
OTOH, that allows you to tailor whose twitters you receive, so it's
really like crafting your own chat room.  If someone says corny stuff
all day, you just delete them and forget about it.

 Maybe it's good for people on the coast's or in cities where there is 
 a bunch of activity, but in Cincinnati here, who wants to know that I 
 am currently working on billing, or that today for lunch I got comic 
 books?.

I agree that it's more useful in places where there are more people
and they do more things.  I just had lunch with a friend because her
plans changed mid-day and she twittered that she had a free window of
time, and I had that same amount of time free.  Even in Cincinnatti, I
would think the local benefit wouldn't be hey... look what I'm doing,
now!, but it would be the opportunity to make time to meet up with
other people when your schedules coincide.  Someone else might be
thinking of going to the comic book store later tonight or tomorrow,
but if they find out you're going earlier, they might make plans with
you to meet up.

Overall, it's not for everybody.

  things to do, and not do during an interview with a guest, from the
  perspective of being the host. OK, thanks, Ed.

 Creative Cow Magazine covered this in...I think it was their February
 issue.

 The big thing to remember is that it's the guest who's the focus, not you,
 so just ask a question and let the guest riff. If you need to steer them
 back onto an intended topic, just ask a follow up question, but let the
 guest run. Also, prep is good. Lots of guests appreciate knowing the
 questions you'll be asking in advance, and this gives you both time to
 work out what angle the interview will be taking. Working out the
 questions in advance, and even writing them down, can be good because it
 gives you a chance to ensure you've got all your bases covered. Draw up
 an outline of points, if it helps you think of more questions. Also, too
 much is better than not enough. It's better to have an interview go long
 than it is to have missed a major point. Other than that, just remember
 you're there to let the guest talk, and it'll go fine.

 Unless it's a hostile interview, in which case, disregard that. :)

[videoblogging] I would like to formally introduce myself.

My name is Heath Parks and I am a vlogger.  Ok, I know most of you are 
going wtf Heath, we know you are a vlogger.  But until now, at this 
very moment did I formally introduce myself, not as The Batman Geek 
but as just meHeath.

A little background, when I started vlogging I wanted to create 
a hook to use a music term and since I liked Batman and I thought I 
would always be talking about Batman, the Batman Geek sounded like a 
good idea.  So I did it.  Anyway over a year later vlogging means 
something else to me now and I have been doing a lot of thinking, 
sofrom now on it's just HeathI will still have my batmangeek 
site because well, that's where ive been for over a year, but I do have 
some plans for plain old Heath Parks, hopefully you will like it.

 I'm sure there are probably quite a few people that are interested

 My interest is in who I can follow, not who follows me.  The first

 I joined twitter, I started following someone in the acting/video

  While I was still doing the ONE thing I was doing since I had 
started
 twitter up, according to what she posted, she had visited at least
 four different locations and done about six different tasks! :O  
It's
 interesting to become aware of what people are saying their day is
 like, as long as it pertains to a field or topic you're interested 
in.
  I might find out that Justin Kownacki's finishing his picture edit
 for the next STBD, and then, an hour later, I find out he's doing 
his
 sound edit.  That wouldn't be interesting to a farmer, but the time 
it
 takes to go through processes in a field I'm interested in is
 consequently interesting to me.  It's also interesting to hear about
 people traveling and being in different places from the last time 
they
 twittered... gives a little different spin to things as opposed to
 knowing that people were sitting exactly where they were before,
 because they were hard-wired to their ethernet connection in their
 basement somewhere.
 
 The downside to twitter is that if you're not being followed, people
 don't get YOUR communications.  That makes it a situation of being
 there, but having no voice.  For voyeurs, that's no problem at all. 
 OTOH, that allows you to tailor whose twitters you receive, so it's
 really like crafting your own chat room.  If someone says corny 
stuff
 all day, you just delete them and forget about it.
 
  Maybe it's good for people on the coast's or in cities where 
there is 
  a bunch of activity, but in Cincinnati here, who wants to know 
that I 
  am currently working on billing, or that today for lunch I got 
comic 
  books?.
 
 I agree that it's more useful in places where there are more people
 and they do more things.  I just had lunch with a friend because her
 plans changed mid-day and she twittered that she had a free window 
of
 time, and I had that same amount of time free.  Even in 
Cincinnatti, I
 would think the local benefit wouldn't be hey... look what I'm 
doing,
 now!, but it would be the opportunity to make time to meet up with
 other people when your schedules coincide.  Someone else might be
 thinking of going to the comic book store later tonight or tomorrow,
 but if they find out you're going earlier, they might make plans

I agree, I usually have a few set questions that I know can't be 
answered by a yes or no because that can kill an interview.  I 
would also add, listen to you guest, be willing to create questions 
off what the guest says, sometimes you get some great stuff by just 
listening to what a guest or interviewee says...

Like Jen said - it's certainly brought me closer to folks I already knew a
bit, opened lines of communication, made spontaneous digital meetings
possible...answers to questions arrive...support (even an 'XO' means a lot

[videoblogging] Re: question about using vpip in a wordpress blog

2007-04-09 Thread Milt Lee
Thanks Josh,
I did a little more checking - and heard from Enric.  He pointed me to
the installation stuff on his site.  BUT then I went to wordpress.com
and discovered that for the FREE wordpress blogs - that is for the the
blogs that have an address such as  realrez.wordpress.com  - you can't
actually add plug-ins which is what the vpip is.

Now if I were to install the worpress blog on my own website - then no
worries.  And maybe if I do the wordpress upgrade, I might be able to
use the plug-in - but I haven't checked on that.

So for now, I changed the post at Http://realrez.wordpress.com - so
that it goes to my regular site- http://realrez.com and you can watch
the video there.

I'm still working out the blip.tv thing, and hope to have a blip
version up tonight.  We'll see... it's all good.

  started
   twitter up, according to what she posted, she had visited at 
least
   four different locations and done about six different tasks! :O
  It's
   interesting to become aware of what people are saying their day 
is
   like, as long as it pertains to a field or topic you're 
interested
  in.
I might find out that Justin Kownacki's finishing his picture 
edit
   for the next STBD, and then, an hour later, I find out he's 
doing
  his
   sound edit.  That wouldn't be interesting to a farmer, but the 
time
  it
   takes to go through processes in a field I'm interested in is
   consequently interesting to me.  It's also interesting to hear 
about
   people traveling and being in different places from the last 
time
  they
   twittered... gives a little different spin to things as opposed 
to
   knowing that people were sitting exactly where they were before,
   because they were hard-wired to their ethernet connection in 
their
   basement somewhere.
  
   The downside to twitter is that if you're not being followed, 
people
   don't get YOUR communications.  That makes it a situation of 
being
   there, but having no voice.  For voyeurs, that's no problem at 
all.
   OTOH, that allows you to tailor whose twitters you receive, so 
it's
   really like crafting your own chat room.  If someone says corny
  stuff
   all day, you just delete them and forget about it.
  
Maybe it's good for people on the coast's or in cities where
  there is
a bunch of activity, but in Cincinnati here, who wants to know
  that I
am currently working on billing, or that today for lunch I got
  comic
books?.
  
   I agree that it's more useful in places where there are more 
people
   and they do more things.  I just had lunch with a friend 
because her
   plans changed mid-day and she twittered that she had a free 
window
  of
   time, and I had that same amount of time free.  Even in
  Cincinnatti, I
   would think the local benefit wouldn't be hey... look what I'm
  doing,
   now!, but it would be the opportunity to make time to meet up 
with
   other people when your schedules coincide.  Someone else might 
be
   thinking of going to the comic book store later tonight or 
tomorrow,
   but if they find out you're going earlier, they might make plans
  with
   you to meet up.
  
   Overall, it's not for everybody.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: question about using vpip in a wordpress blog

2007-04-09 Thread Jen Simmons
You don't need to install a plug-in in order to be able to embed  
video into your wordpress blog! There are many ways to do it, and  
while vPIP is a good one, there are others that will work with  
wordpress.com

1) use the freevlog video embedding tool to write code for you.
http://www.freevlog.org/popup/
There's a tutorial (of course) on how to use it (and why) at:
http://www.freevlog.org/index.php/2006/04/18/freevlog-video-pop-up- 
maker/

2) host your videos at blip.tv, and use their tools to create the  
code...

[videoblogging] Re: Need advice on how to conduct an interview for use on a blog.

2007-04-09 Thread amani_c
Is this going to be a sit down style interview like a talk show format 
or a taped interview like news style?  Either way you should think of 
your interview as a conversation, and keep a natural flow.  Write down 
3-5 questions to use as back up or for reference, but don't be tied to 
them. Listen to your interviewee's responses and ask follow ups.  
Don't say uhh huh verbally, just nod your head in agreemnt.  Be 
relaxed, and have fun. Ask direct questions, don't babble or ramble. 
Remember you're in control of the interview.  If it's a talk show 
format introducew your guest, shake their hand and get to askin If 
it's news style where you're just looking for soundbites aks them for 
their first last name and title, and get to askin.

Any other questions just holla.

Peace!

In one of your earlier broadcasts from the kitchen, I think you

on wireless for all of the several broadcasts of the evening, or did
you switch to data transfer?

 I'm not even going to say wether Josh was right or wrong... but I both
 respect him and am tremendously grateful to him that he's driving the
 discussion and pressing the point.

He pressed it enough to get the attention of PBS.

 The bottom line is this... there has been plenty of understanding of
 due process when it comes to physical property. Our right to be secure
 in our physical property... say a diary... our mail.

Not to mention mainstream journalists and their sources when major
stories that lead to controversy and scandals are broke.

 But as we move into intellectual property it gets stickier and
 stickier.  Phone tapping was one thing... but now that our means of
 communication also become self archiving like email, video, photos,
 and audio... we have very important NEW considerations because now the
 governent can sopoena not just records of meta information like who
 you called... but increasingly records of what was said... in email,
 audio recordings, video footage, photos.

Apparently the government has yet to acquaint itself with the Internet
Archive.

 The funny thing is more of this information is public on our blogs,
 video and photosharing sites, twiter... and all over.  This alone
 gives the institutions of law enforcement and intelligence tremendous
 new powers and tools... I'm not so convinced... well...  I'm downright
 opposed to the idea that they also need new liberties and are cutting
 through the red tape of due process to get at our personal data.

They don't neccessarily need new liberties.  In many cases, they just
simply flex the muscles of the OLD ones instead.

 It's an extremely slippery slope.

It is indeed :(

Re: [videoblogging] what happens when cops are wrong

2007-04-09 Thread Charles Iliya Krempeaux
Hello,

The law is a means to an end.  Not a holy document.  If it's not
illegal now... that can be fixed and made illegal very easily.

Saying things like they are backwards or corrupt implies that they
are NOT doing what they are suppose to be doing.

Even in this case, the police are doing what their suppose to do.
(The question that that statement begs is... WHO determines what they
are suppose to be doing.)


See ya
