On a few project front I am wrestling with trying to pick the “best” web video format. Some have boiled it down to selecting the “elusive” best format. In my previous work at Maricopa, e.g. for our digital storytelling collection, I had settled on providing video as streaming Quicktime, .mov, (we had an X-serve server […]
Prompted by Will’s post “Digg For Edubloggers/ Do We Need to Get Our Act Together”, I added EdBloggerNews as a new option to my Multi-Post Bookmarklet tool at http://cogdogblog.com/code/marklet_maker.php— mainly because I was going to try and toss EduBloggerNews a few of the links I am sending to del.icio.us. While in the code, I tried […]
A few weeks, months (dog time) ago I speculated about the possible substance abuse activities of my Technorati feed. No denial or admission was forthcoming, yet I am still cocking my head sideways at what the Technorati feed for this blog actually catches in its nets. Do not get me wrong, a good 20-25% of […]
I cannot say anymore that flickr is not being responsive, after the knock knock post, I got a rather long, and detailed message, with some clarification of NIPSA, why it is there, and some re-assurrances that they are working on ways to flag things with categories for ones that are not photos. NIPSA is all […]
While there are at least 20 or more different social bookmark tools out there, I am pretty much committed and hooked on del.icio.us. It has that no frills but highly functional interface, but mainly because it has so many subtle features that are easy to overlook, even if you have been a regular user. It is subtly powerful, in a way that many people do not see.
So I cam going to cover three “next level” things you can do in del.icio.us, two of which I had not even checked out before last week. I am sure there are more treasures in there, and remember that just about everything… no make that everything displayed in del.icio.us has an associated RSS feed.
Web video is exploding, and more than just hosting and tagging clips with exploding soda bottles… Check out this re-mixed clip from the Weblog Project called What is a Blog? The 50 Second Answer: This is a great remix that really shows how much more impact and insight a short well edited clip can do […]
I cannot complains anymore that flickr is not responding to my mad barkings… as the last attempt got a response in just a few hours. Yay! But the contents or just more of the same… “We think Second Life photos are screen shots, you are still NIPSA”: From: “Flickr Support” <ase103599@support.flickr.com> Date: June 13, 2006 […]
For anyone besides me keeping count on my sags of Flickr slapping me NIPSA, it has been 11 days since I emailed flickr, and more than 21 days since the last previous attempt. I have received a lot of interesting commentary, and support from the bone I had to pick with flickr about a new […]
This afternoon I did some minor editing (cutting some files into smaller pieces) from the audio recordings provided by the media team at Case for last week’s NMC Summer Conference, and in addition, posted a 5 minute video that was shown at the Second Life launch session.
The audio quality is mostly good, with some bad moments of echos and volumes drops as the Case staff struggled to deal with the media capability of the hotel. Editing required popping the audio files to the Windows side of the MacBookPro since Audacity is not a Universal option yet. See how handy this machine is?
So hold on to your mouse… below is a slew of ‘casts…
There is no place like it, even when the outside temps are a moderate 112 degrees 😉 After about 9 days straight of work for last week’s NMC Conference in Cleveland, I have a few days set aside for catching up on home stuff like: * replacing a cracked disposal in the kitchen sink * […]
