Human Dog Goes Postal


Watch the video
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.

BART - Bay Area Rapid Transit

Here's a short (4 min) excursion down into one of San Francisco's subway systems, BART. The Bay Area Rapid Transit system connects much of the Bay Area and is probably the best way to get into the city from the airports.

BART fares are calculated by distance traveled. The ride from Oakland Airport to downtown is about $3.50. From SF Airport, it's about $5.10.

Media Happens

We're in San Francisco now and every day presents new wonders. Today was something else. I had the fortune of getting together with some folks from Yahoo!, SFSU, OurMedia and Outhink. I can't even begin to share what we are talking about except to say it's very exciting and has great potential for the Videoblogging community.

Right as we were really getting down to some interesting talks, we realized that we were being overwhelmed by the sound of drums. This is the sort of thing that happens here and you'd better be prepared if you want to capture things like this.

Media happens. Be prepared at all times.

For a good time and great mexican food, go to the "Mission District".

Tommorrow is Friday and the Vloggercon Volunteer meetup. It will be good to see everyone again. I can't wait to see you in two weeks. Yeah, you.
