learning something new and sharing as I go
Because it's growing by leaps and bounds, that's why! "The number of unique viewers of online video increased 5.2% year-over-year according to The Nielsen Company, from 137.4 million unique viewers in January 2009 to 142.7 million in January 2010." I'd like to think that a few of my videos that I created in the... Continue Reading →
This is a video that I put together last week to address a complaint that a faculty member had with her students' research. The students were finding one particular resource and overusing and over-citing it in their projects. To address her concern, I put together this video and posted it all over my Business Blog,...

I've been using Camstudio a long time to record all my desktop videos and screencasts. I only just discovered today that it will do picture-in-picture recording with a web cam.

In his latest column in Time Magazine, Joel Stein writes why people don't like video phones. Even though Skype is the only one of all the cool gadgets that cartoons promised me would exist by 2010, people don't seem nearly as excited as they should be. Only 34% of Skype calls even use video. And... Continue Reading →
I got an email last week announcing a new gadget/service from Flip called Flipshare TV. The new gadget, retailing for $149.99 , allows you to stream your videos from your computer to your TV, without the need for setting up a streaming media server or a wireless network. A move like this for... Continue Reading →
