Man this was a bitch to play around with. Still looking a realtime solution for the dv line for using on operator11.

I wanted a break from the norm this weekend so i decided to head out to shoot some HD 30 secs clips. It broke the day up and i got some vlogging content for myself and also for a project i am doing - i'm seeing how many 30 secs hd clips i can collect from now till next year. I'm expect hd content to have really taken off b y then and most people to have a HD telly.

Just those little moments in life just make you wanna record them. I'm still not happy with the speed that it takes for the video recording to come on the camera - seriously thinking of getting rid of the n95 and getting a wifi enabled digital camera that can do film. hmm then i could not upload the clips thou. bugger. need to see if there is a new firmware out for the n95.

This is a vlog software test of vlogsnapz.producer - i worked with eric to add some really neat features in for videobloggers that wanted a really quick way to produce video.

Just another quick upload for the 10 second "statement" i did while i was drunk on some particularly average red wine at podcampuk

I thought i would do a series of HD and normal quality appletv .mp4 sized clips from podcamp that people could watch and get a sense of feeling of the event.

During the weekend we quickly got to blast into the apple store on fifth avenue (i think) - this one is the new one with the 24/7 opening. it was huge and was totally full of people swarming everywhere. they never had the new slimline keyboard for sale which i found strange.

Make your own thoughts about this. But are these orbs or headlights. I'm not sure but it was certainly freaky to find them on the footage.

The flickering.

The old river trent was very high today and has burst along the banks of burton on trent.

Heading into burton to pay some cheques in - a little bit of a minddump.

I should not really post things like this, with my chins that people could develop property on but you have to post the good with the bad. I think it makes me more aware that i need to take care of myself and start to do some working out.

I watched a brilliant vlog from rupert (honest, direct, rupert!) where he was really frustrated with his freelancing, i wanted my reply to be as equally as annoyed about the things that annoy you as a freelancer but i guess you have to be in that mood to really convey the angry you get with some clients. One thing that is apparant to me is that i really need to go see rupert, take some really excellent wine and chill the dude out. :)

Sam has bought this (i cannot pronouce it) baby carrier thing that she takes ella out walking in. bless her!

Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us " My videos explore mediated culture, seeking to merge the ideas of Media Ecology and Cultural Anthropology." [thanks to steve lacey for posting this video on his blog] The original is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gmP4nk0EOE and has had over 964,017 views. What is very interesting to me about this video is not the sheer amount of connected people that are spreading it to their geek friends to watch but also it is one of those videos that might just explain to non techy folks how the internet works to a certain degree and why we are all excited about rss2 and web2 features (even if all they are really just mechanizms behind the scenes to interact and present things to the user nicer)- admittly xml and rss are amazing creations whatever way you look at it 2007 - the year people noticed geeks. We are fine tuning the world is tiny packets of data. Also, and this is a great slant on the original video, over on mojiti ( http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 ) please are ad...

So today i spoke again to trev (aka blackbob)a guy that i bumped into on the thelatenitemash.com that does caricatures among other things like video animation and live action stuff. As i knew he had done another piece of design work for someone i asked him if there was any chance of getting something done for myself. He produced a great graphic for me and i intend to use it on my blog and on socialninja in the near future. I uploaded this eye clip that he directed to blip in the hope that it would get him noticed. I believe he is setting up a blip account as well as flickr etc to showcase some of his recent works. He moved back from vancover to ireland a few years back and currently is teaching video editing etc at some schools i believe. Trev has a few websites currently (i hope to help him out with a new website, intergrating flickr, blip and a few others - free of charge of course!)in the hope that more people will spot this very talented guy. He helped me out so i am returning the favour. Check out hi...

What does "open source" mean to you I'm posting this out to my vloggers friends and followers because i want to put together a short video clip talking about the following subject. Now, if you dont know anything about "open source" that's cool too - just tell me what you think it is or what you think it means to you.� Dont "gen" up on it just to look cool on video, i want honest responses. Those that no the dealio with open source, let me know what you understand it to be, how it is relevant to you and why you use open source, on what levels do you believe in open source etc. So i'm looking for video clips in .mov, mp4 or whatever you have - either sent directly to me or uploaded to a site where i can get them from and i'll be posting the final result on burtonstream.com in a few weeks time (after editing)i'm not looking for like long segments - just a few simple minutes will do, i just hope i get enough to cover the idea. The reason why i am doing this is that it was brought up in conversation at our cha...

We got a new printer today at the office.

So on saturday with my dad over from spain we went out for something to eat and grabbed a bite to eat at the local pub the railway. I should walk more.

The other day i went over to arbor lights in walsall. This is some video from inside.

Sometimes you can just catch that moment with a nokia n95.
