First video for Videobloggingweek2008.Videoblogging week started in 2004 with less than ten videobloggers as a participatory way to raise awareness of videoblogging and welcome new videobloggers. Over the years Videoblogging Week has grown to be an exciting yearly event that encourages people to push themselves creatively.I'm also posting this to Semanal.

Ryan and I say this contraption in New Orleans. Everyone who saw it said it was so much better than seeing 5 guys spend a whole day fixing one pothole.

Here's FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein talking about Net Neutrality. He was speaking to a great panel at the Politics Online conference on the future of broadband in the US. It's funny that the conversation is not about technology, but simply what openness means. The current Bush administration (represented by the guy on the right) thinks we should just let market forces figure it out. But others consider broadband as a public service like telephone, water, and roads. Without open guidelines, where's the innovation and equal access when there's a duopoly controlling the access to the internet?

Since Ryanne and I are moving soon, we're getting rid of everything to drive across the country. This is for week 9 of Semanal, a year long group video project that is open for anyone to join.

Look how insane LA looks at night as you fly into the city. We built it piece by piece. This is for week 7 of Semanal. Music: Pachebel's Canon In D (Glass Harmonica). See how they play the crystals here. Kick ass.

This video settles my debt to two projects at once. It's Carp Caviar Promo month (see my past contributions here and here). It's also the first week of Semanal, where everyone is posting a video every week for 2008. I like these group video projects. Come join the fun.

Day 21 of NaVloPoMo. I took this video of a creepy TV evangelist this week when I flew to the East Coast on an overnight. TV evangelists in the US were in their prime during the 80's with Jimmy Swaggart, Robert Tilton, and James and Tammi Faye Baker. The style is simple: get a TV show, say that god has given you the power to create happiness, and keep asking for money. This first group were all eventually convicted or humiliated off the TV screen only after their lavish lifestyles became too outrageous. TV evangelists have since become more sophisticated with James Dobson, Pat Robertson, and Ted Haggard (recently uncovered). Instead of just asking for cash for their own pockets, they now help organize voting blocks that elect US politicians. Everyone knows this is where the real power and money is. Hook right into the vein. Anyway, this guy is a throwback to the simple, Give me money and god will reward you days. He's hypnotic like a vampire. I can only imagine the people who call to give money at 4am. Desperate, sad, confused.

Several months ago I briefly met with the awesome Brewster Kahle of the Internet Archive. He was showing off the OLPC computer (One Laptop Per Child). They were initially promoted as costing $100, but are now about $200 each. The computer is designed to be bought in orders of 100,000 units by developing countries to jump start their educational process. If every kid has a computer that's connected to the internet and each other, and is using open source software they can learn to program, then the kids in these countries can figure out their own solutions. This is the social techie dream. But there are many people who say the OLPC program is bullshit. I just got into another heated debate tonight over OLPC. The argument is that children in developing nations need clean water and food first. Many children barely have proper schools to attend. How are you going to give a kid who lives in a hut a computer? The corruption in many developing nations is incredible, and this would be another waste of precious resources. Why give computers to kids anyway? Give them to the adults. I believe in appropriate technology and trust that the right people will find their ways to computers. I truly believe that there are those of us who love to connect and explore. The OLPC computer just lowers the barrier to having a machine that connects you to the greater web so you can find your own way. Computers are not the answer, but they are a tool. It's a pretty cool computer if you check out the features. It runs on linux, has a video camera built in, an automatic mesh network is created through the antennae, and can be powered by a hand pump. Brewster is especially excited because he's working on Project Gutenberg which is scanning thousands of books that can be read on computers like these. He has a dream.

I walked by a park where they were watching a movie. It's the totally crazy Cannibal Holocaust. Kind of a weird movie to screen in a public park.

This video is for the folks over here who are debating whether or not to ban people from raising chickens in the city limits of Missoula, Montana. It's a great conversation, but I feel like the text comments were not being based on reality. So I decided to make a short video with some backyard evidence that raising hens properly is actually a really smart thing to do. This is also NaVloPoMo #15. (Quicktime version)

Day 9 of NaVloPoMo. There are some really incredible videos people are making. We're going to post videos for 30 days. I wonder if we will evolve into points of light by then.

 The good:
His videos are often poetic, revealing a quiet contemplation and celebration of the mundane universe.
 The bad:
His videos are few and far between, which is a shame, but I think he's a busy guy.
Review:
Jay Dedman possesses an excitement for the medium (vlogging) that goes unmatched. He's part of the FireANT crew, responsible for bringing you a great tool, like this one (Mefeedia), for subscribing to your favorite videoblogs. He also works for a public television network in Manhattan, and when he does find time to sit his ass down and make a video, you will find simplicity in all it's amazing charm, put together with care and a love for his subject that is as sincere as a man can get. When he's not showing his own videos, he's pointing you to very relevant stories and videos that you should know about. When you subscribe to Momentshowing, and get to know Dedman through his videos, you'll most likely find a man who sees a cockroach as a way of connecting the world.
Artist and visionary for a new medium.

The good:
Makes me think about what I could be doing with a Video Blog
The bad:
Sometimes I have to think about what the point of all this is...
Review:
I found out about video blogs when I accidently read something Jay had written about using video blogging. I don't remember it specifically, but the point was: anybody can do this and everyone should, but here's what you need to think about. Since then I've learned a whole lot more, but everytime I watch one of Jay's posts, I have to stop and re-consider the many possibilities here. Jay is open to posting the best work by others he comes across and at the same time has his own very unique way of showing us what's going on in his life via blogging. The 'Talking Head Argument' post of very personal video from his girlfriend Ryanne and himself is an amazing new use of this medium as well as a kind of honesty that you rarely see in any artform. And it is that emotional honesty that confirms that Jay and Ryanne are helping to pioneer not just a new medium, but a new artform.
Thanks to both of them...
