ROFLcon Turns Me On To Ustream.TV

I was amused to learn Nathan was officially at ROFLcon on behalf of his library. I wasn’t representing my work and wasn’t on the lookout for work-related tools, but I found some anyway.
Universities have been anxious to get into live video casting for a while. Our first effort eventually became PBS (NET, ETS and PBS [...]

Snakes On A Plane

It was only after I’d taken my seat and David Weinberger began his ROFLcon keynote that I realized there was a box of t-shirts at the side of the room with a sign over them that said something along the lines of “FREE: t-shirts from worn out memes.” Thinking that the internet might be old [...]

Flickr Adds Video

I asked for it in 2004, before YouTube, Vimeo, Viddler, or Revver appeared on the scene, and before MySpace and Facebook added video sharing as a feature. Four years later they finally added it.

Dancing With The Nerds

Richard Stallman’s Soulja Boy dance, MIT style (via).

The War On Zombies

From Kim to Zach to me to you: Bush Vs. Zombies.

Smashitup Smashitup Smashitup!

After all my agitating for small, cheap, fuel efficient cars (and automotive metaphors), I figured I had to post this picture (and a few others) from the demolition derby at the Hopkinton Fair a couple weeks ago. My video of the four-cylinder event is at YouTube.
Extra: I don’t know where it fits in your stereotype [...]

Jumping From Airplanes

A guy walked into the student newspaper office and asked “does anybody want to jump out of an airplane?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, I said “I’m your man.” It was only afterwards that I confirmed a parachute would be involved.
Well, that was ten years ago (can’t you tell, I look young — young!), but the video [...]
