The SF Green Festival kicks off tomorrow. It seems to get bigger each year. Plan ahead and bring your bike for discounted admission and free valet bike parking provided by The SF Bicycle Coalition. Here is some footage of speakers from last years festival. Jim Hightower, Daryl Hannah, Charris Ford and Amy Goodman - Highlights at the San Francisco Green Festival 2005. QT 7'31

QT 62.5 MB 10'40 This is the last bit of footage from Blogher. How can African American and Latino bloggers report on issues ignored by the 6 o' clock news? Session 4 - Discussion with Nichelle Stephens of Brownbloggers.com, Laina Dawes, Gena Haskett, Marian Douglas, Liza Sabater and others. I felt it was very important to get some of the conversations up so we can broaden and continue the discussions in the blogosphere and offline. It is quite long so make yourself comfy. If you appear in the video and are not identified, please contact me so I can add a link here.

Molly says that Fabian Mohr will be podcasting from BRC. Blog | Podcast #1 | Feed Sadly, I won't be going this year. School's in session. Bring me back some playa dust. Burning Man 2004

Brianna Miller of Break Comics at SF Zinefest I went to Zinefest today and came back with a whole stack-o-zines, stickers and buttons. Sunday will be a treat because they will be showing films. I will post more links to exhibitors here later. Mini-video Music by The Life Fire in Peopledom

QT 14.6MB 2'35 This is my 50th vlog for 2005. The first one was Renegade Bike Ride. I wonder if I can do 100 vlogs this year? Ok, maybe it's not as strenuous as Ian's 05 Project, but I'm feeling the burn. I'm content about the content. It's translated into a universal language that hopefully everyone can understand. tag: videoblogging

Brianna Miller of Break Comics at SF Zinefest I went to Zinefest today and came back with a whole stack-o-zines, stickers and buttons. There were a few things I didn't get to see, people I didn't get a chance to bug, so I will go back again tomorrow. Sunday will be a treat because they will be showing films.

QT 38.8MB 6'41 "When Globalization is Good for Women" panel discussion at Blogher 2005 With: Bev Traynor, Noriko Takiguchi, Anna John of SepiaMutiny, Lilia Efimova, and Nancy White reading a letter from Dina Mehta.

QT 22.5MB 3'58 The sirens are singing, and Neptune's organs are churbling...The sisters are amused.

QT 17.4MB 3'01 "Feminist Hip Hop Blogger" Lynne D. Johnson speaking on the lack of women's voices in the blogosphere, sexism in the hip hop industry and how bloggers react or don't, keystylin' and inspiration. I'm hoping the upload of the video of the Blogher conference will help continue and broaden the discussions of what was said there, and translate into action. tags: blogher, bloghercon, live-blogging, hiphop, lynnedjohnson #

download wmv Here is a movie that Lily made today. The YME blog is a work in progress. We have a couple of videos up, more next week. We're freestylin' with freevlog, and learning how to edit. Basically just having fun. There is a problem with the feed right now for some reason, and a few links are off, please hang on.

QT 41.4MB 7'0 This is part 1 of my Blogher coverage. I have 4 sessions to go and a weekend to work on them. There was a lot of talk about the Technorati 100 and A-lists. Technotes: I had some Mpegs that were a pain to convert to mov. My renegade method of converting them: Re-photography! I videotaped them off the screen with an audio line-in to the camera. FYI - Mpegs edit fine in Windows Movie Maker.

Zadi Diaz and Josh Wolf, videobloggers, westside. I'm pretty tired and fried, but BlogHer was fun and I'm so glad I could be a part of it, knowing that many women were not able to be there. Being a live-blogger was intense and offered me a way to connect to the event in close way. Even though I didn't get to schmooze as much as I'd liked, I felt it was important to get the content up, to blog it and share it. It seems like a mission sometimes. I hope I could give some adequate coverage, and I look forward to seeing the coverage of the other sessions that I missed. I am looking forward to the podcasts, too, because that is where I'm going to get to the heart of the sessions - women speaking. As a videoblogger, I don't play into that battle of video vs podcasting. I think that there are so many tools out there for self-expression, why not use them all? I'll be updating the Blogher posts from yesterday with additional video material and links. It may take some time, bear with me. Feel free to comment, especially if you were at the panel - and add a link to your site! Thanks to Outhink for sponsoring me to go, Christian of Radio Free Blogistan for the ride, Michael for the zine, Miriam, Steve Rhodes, Markus and Josh and everyone else that helped make my day.

MPG Here's a clip of Ryanne setting up for the Video/Audiocasting session. I had to dart out and get another session but Zadi was there rolling tape, so look out for that. Today's clips are all straight-up, no editing, just to give you a flavor sampling of what went down at the sessions. Thanks to those Google kiosks I was able to upload and post today. I'll post some edited pieces of each session over the next few weeks, which will be very busy because of the YME Videoblogging Workshop. Busy vloggin' bees are having fun this Summer. tags: blogher, bloghercon, live-blogging

QT 13.4mb 2'45 You might remember our our little gopher friend from a while back. Well, he's back! He makes a more toned-down appearance in this vlog. It's the YME nature hike out in beautiful Tennessee Valley. The goal is to relax, soak up some inspiration from nature, and get to know one another before breaking into two groups to produce a collaborative video projects. So, take a little break and let's go! tags: yme, teens, blogging, videoblogging

I was trying to download some vlogs for my Meet the Vloggers presentation when I realized I couldn't see any movies that were posted to the Internet Archive, which is where most videobloggers post. All of those videos are offline now because IA is moving those machines to a new datacenter and should be back up and running in a better space by 1pm today. It brings to mind the usefulness of torrents, seeding and file-sharing of these video clips, so that the eggs are not all in one basket, so to speak. Update 7/28: And now the dreaded news: it looks like many of us vloggers hosted on the Archive will have to reconfigure our links. gasp! follow this format: http://www.archive.org/download/Title_of_Post/Title.mov torrents, p2p, filesharing
