browsetv slate, episode 1.04
browsetv slate, episode 1.04, originally uploaded by yatta.
The opening slate for BrowseTV episode 1.04 (labeled "episode 4.0" in the screenshot, before I thought there'd be a second or third season.) BrowseTV was the live program I did on cable access from 2002-2004. I'd find interesting links on the internet, turn on a webcam, fire up an AOL chat room, and send video out of my laptop live to television. I'd spend half an hour showing the links that I found. Folks would come in the chat room and share their own. At the end of the episode, I'd make a list of all of the links from the show (along with a RealVideo stream of the show) available on the BrowseTV website. It was a grand ol' time.
Mind you, this was 2002, before videoblogging, before anyone was doing (mimicking?) my exact format on CNN or MTV or MadTV.
I just recently unearthed a bunch of old episodes of BrowseTV and expect to have them encoded and uploaded somewhere in the coming weeks.
I'm also working with the illustrious ElspethJane to bring the BrowseTV format back to the world. Expect deets soon. ;-)

24/7 a DIY Video Summit
I'll be in Los Angeles this weekend at the 24/7 DIY Video Summit. I'll be sitting in on a workshop on Open Source Tools for Online Video with Jay, Ryanne, and Tiffiniy Cheng.
Come and say hi if you're in LA.

That's Hegemony! (Super Bowl XLII Edition)
So I watched the entire game but missed almost all of the commercials as I was trying to get my Rocketboom work done during most of the breaks. The ones I did catch -- when grouped together -- painted a very particular picture.
Fucking Chinks.
Even when they aren't animated, foreigners are cartoons.
This is funny because I think she's ugly and I think that I'm not.
Good thing you're not ugly. In fact, you're beautiful. And beautiful people rule! UNDERWEAR UBER ALLES!
Speaking of ugly, go think about Adriana Lima while you're fucking your wife.
Again, I didn't watch all of the commercials during yesterday's game but the gestalt of this set left a bitter taste in my mouth.
