Karma's a bitch.

Sounds of Gunfire at Capitol Complex. Although, it is amusing the Californian is all 'eh prolly balloons popping or a backfiring car' ... We got Compton and East Palo Alto. Settle down, white people.

In other news, you can see the dynamic of facts vs. interpretation vs. People don't actually care about the details-- if it is perceived to stink it stinks. Web 2.0 Cease & Desist (I post this link since this is where I read it first.

Have a great day, sports fans!

BTW, I meant to not 'video for 80 years' but the notion of home movies and other such moving pictures and sound being created. We're all just doing the same thing from personal stuff to rockstar stuff and everything in between in a new medium. Terms be damned! :-)

I've made a short little thing... no audio.. it's late. So, download and watch the second video from Lessig's virtual appearance in Second Life. Check the last two posts for video #1 and the transcript (and also links to the flickr photos).

Now go remix the video.

An amusing observation from Lessig's talk in Secondlife... Visit EricRice.com for the transcript and links to screenshots.

"While Prof Lessig is talking to the virtual world, images of him looking at the virtual world...are displayed on the screen behind him, *looking* into the virtual world."

How meta is that?

Ian Mills completed his The 05 Project. He posted Windows Media Videos and also Quicktime videos. I needed a Windows Media Video to upload to Audioblog, not just to post to my blog, but to also send down my RSS feed..... as an iPod-ready quicktime video.... on the fly.

Let's see if anyone notices. ;-)

He got a toy camcorder for Christmas. He's learning how to hold it. When he somewhat gets how the LCD screen works, he starts to interview his brother.

All I did was plug it into the computer and uploaded the AVI file to Audioblog.com.

Amazing.

2006 is going to be quite the year, eh? ;-)

PodGuide.tv doesn't have comments enabled, so I'm addressing the review of Backstaging here on my own blog.

"Mesmerizing like a car wreck" is the best shit EVER, I'm so stealing that. Thanks.

And yes, Backstaging is very much about the obvious, and that is exciting to me. Except it's not focused around the building of our studio, it's about damn near everything that surrounds the tools of this trade, whatever 'trade' is.... citizen media, home production, devices, software, and what not. And as we learn something, we'll share it. And if we need help, we'll ask for it.

Not everyone who wants to make media is the demographic of affluent blogger, hence duct-taping the shit out of something and make it look reasonably good might be some very useful information. And more importantly, we need to make content that people can take with them, on their iPods, to hardware stores, so they can get in on the action.

Flip on HGTV sometime, there's plenty of shows about the obvious (stapling felt to a board to dress it up? see the point?). I want Backstaging to ultimately be some twisted hybrid of MTV and HGTV, that's short, portable, useful, and if it's entertaining, well then score! It's also a living case study of, "Hey I want my own show. I don't want to pitch it. I'm just gonna do it." If it lands in traditional media, then so be it. The point is, I'm doing it my way. And that's what I believe to be one of the four types of media making.

(Now if I can get over the irony of the dollars we're investing to make a video podcast about how to do cool shit for seven bucks... welcome to DIY, I guess. Heh)

Thanks for the love. I'll go film some car wrecks for under 500 dollars. /me falls over. ;-)
