Something Ryanne said in an email reminded me that we need to think more about videoblogging for vids. Lots of issues there. Here’s a moment from the Meet The Vloggers (the new MTV!) last friday in Los Angeles at The Grove Apple store. So how do we present videoblogging to kids? Josh Leo and others have posted related articles at We Are The Media.
I recently paid the stupid Apple QuickTime Pro tax and within just a few days QuickTime 7 came out and auto installed itself on the eMac. Now all the pro features are disabled. WTF?
I tried to reset the key Apple gave me, but it was "invalid". Checking the Apple QuickTime support site, it turns out that Apple says you can either pay a new tax or downgrade back to an older quicktime.
Fuck you Apple.
Something triggered an old memory and I felt I should vlog it. Sorry if it’s a bit long (6 minutes) and I know I have to get all this down better, but the important thing is to get the vids out there.
Hopefully this has better compression. I followed Michael Verdi’s great compression tutorial notes and it looks like I got at least 20% smaller files.
The start up still seems a bit slow to me - bear with me please as I figure this out and try to keep up with all the pros.
Anyway, here is a little story about the early days of teaching desktop publishing on the first Macintosh’s. Click the pic and enjoy!
