[videoblogging] China solar eclipse blog-a-thon

2008-08-04 Thread byen
Been in China since July 24,  blogging over various sites.  Index of
blogs here:

http://www.caltechscience.com/08solareclipse/index.html

Uaing hotels w/Internet access, friends computers.  No Internet cafes used!

Blip.tv is blocked from China (!), so no go there.  Flickr  Kyte.tv are
the 2 favorites of mine:

because of bulk uploading capability

Blogger works:

BTW, Wordpress sites are blocked!

Made a MONUMENTAL effort to find a suitable eclipse observation site
(private  secluded to capture eclipse against nice scenic background),
but had a little bad luck!  Eclipse partially obscured by clouds.  a few
miles away in Yiwu, it was clear (ironically, my tour agency had
mistakenly bought me a pass for this area).  I went to Santanghu (Chinese
military area) in the Inner Mongolian desert.  Pics here:
