Vloggercon Moments - The MotherVloggers

Watch the video

Jan and I had the pleasure of spending a late evening with the self-proclaimed mothervloggers at the road node house during vloggercon. We got to watch as they went through the freevlog.org videoblogging tutorial. it was great getting to know them. They were an extremely enthusiastic and funny crew. they also had these really great waffle cookies that they left with me (all gone now).

Here's a video from that evening as they create two vlogs. I asked them about freevlog, blip.tv, yiddish vs. hebrew, holland, africa and how they came together around their "united vloggers" project and as friends.

This is a bit long at about 10 minutes and the room is a bit dark (the screens show up nice however), but i think it is a good capture of this interesting multi-lingual team from Holland.

San Francisco Bus Stop Sign

Some of the bus stop signs are pretty subtle. Once you know what they look like, it gets easier.

BART Maps for your iPod

How cool is this? BART Quick Planner for your iPod. I just added these photos to an iPhoto album and then used iTunes to sync with the iPod (a video/G5 iPod in my case, but they also have downloads for iPod Photo/Color and for the Nano. There is also schedule information you can use as notes. Click the pic to view a video screencast for this.

BART trip from Oakland Airport to downtown is about $3.50 and from San Francisco Airport to downtown, it's about $5.10.

Markus wrangled The Faux Press an invite to the Outhink! / Our Media holiday BBQ. These guys are doing some amazing things. Can't wait to see what happens next.

J.D. Lassica is a particular hero. His "Darknet" book haunted my dreams for 3 months last summer, most particularly during VlogEurope!.

If you haven't yet read "Darknet" do it. You won't regret it.

Imagine we'll learn more of what these folks are up to at Vloggercon.

Whoa.

Testing out Blip's direct-to-hard-drive recording in Safari while using the cell phone as modem. Wow. It worked! I'm impressed the Cingular connection through the Nokia 6682 had sufficient bandwidth to handle the video. Rockin'. Thanks to the Digital Dojo for sharing.

It's been really great knowing that internet connection is available anywhere there's a cell signal. Worth the extra $30 / month? This month it seems worthwhile as I shouldn't like to be without the capacity to upload media. An option to consider for vloggers-on-the-go.

Here's the moment Jay, Markus and I learn that Chris Weagel's Human Dog has gone over the top of the vlogosphere's "Have Money Will Vlog" fund-raising initiative. The community raised $1000 in 4 days - over a holiday weekend mind you. Wowowowow. We are the media, damnit.
