Cool.

Video Blog: Under the Philadelphia El Train

Cassidy Hartmann writes in Philadelphia weekly about filmmaker David Kessler in On the Right Track
It arrives like clockwork—or as close to clockwork as things get in this city—cutting through space with a roaring rush of steel on steel. It’s so omnipresent many say they no longer hear it at all, but to a newcomer it can sound like an impending storm, a growl of thunder that momentarily overtakes the neighborhood, booming by on rails that cast everything beneath it in cool, hard shadows.

This is where the characters live.

Nancy. Maria. Nick. Strawberry. They all reside near the stretch of El tracks that cuts up North Front Street and along Kensington Avenue. And though most of them don’t realize it, they’re also connected by something other than geography: the lens of David Kessler.

“It’s weird because in my head they’re all celebrities,” says Kessler, who lives in a cramped padlocked apartment at Front and Dauphin streets, a block from the El. “But I have to remember they probably don’t remember me. It’s like a five-minute interaction.”

Kessler, 32, is a spindly, soft-spoken artist and filmmaker from the suburbs of North Jersey, who moved to Philadelphia in 1996. He’s talking about his cast of characters—subjects of his latest project, a video blog called Shadow World that’s recently been getting attention from filmmakers, bloggers, journalists and even historians.

Steve Garfield: How It All Began


Online Videos by Veoh.com

Sunny Gault posts her interview with me about how I got started in videoblogging, and the early history of videoblogging. Thanks Sunny...

It's so great to have this, so people can hear the story of how I got started in video and blogging, way before videoblogging.

Now I'm going to have to get those old cable access Steve's Show videos posted to the web... Stay tuned.

via [ Viral: The Channel Blog ]

David Howell asked some questions about the interview so I posted some clarifications on the Videoblogging list.

Here they are:

On January 1, 2004 I decided to figure out how to put video on a blog and did it. I was unaware of anyone else having ever tried to do it. I'd never seen video on a blog. Adrian Miles was experimenting in 2000 and you'll see his entry on Wikipedia.

In the interview I am just talking about January 1, 2004 and earlier. Lots of people started videoblogs after that date and continue posting video to blogs.

I'm referring to the fact that I personally was able to get FCP, a Mac laptop and GL/2 prior to 1/1/04, and have the technology in house and available to produce video on a blog.

I also started a videopodcast blog to experiment in including video in RSS 2.0 with media enclosures for distribution. So that was in addition to the regular video blog I had.

A videoblog is video on a blog and a video podcast is video delivered over RSS 2.0 with media enclosures.

While exploring the video features of Castfire I saw that they allow you to modify the post roll of any ads you already have posted. So for example in this brilliant clip where the Ninja interviews Will Ferrell and Jon Heder, from the movie Blades of Glory, the postroll ad is for the new Ask A Ninja community site.

Sanchez Speaks on Iraq war 4 Years too late

Ex-commander calls Iraq war 'nightmare' - The Boston Globe:
"Sanchez said he was convinced the American effort in Iraq was failing the day after he took command, in June 2003. Asked why he waited until nearly a year after his retirement to voice his concerns publicly, he responded that it was not the place of active-duty officers to challenge lawful orders from civilian authorities."
One of my least favorite sayings, "It's always been done this way."

A New Type of Morning Radio Show

Clea Simon talks to John Hockenberry about his new morning radio show which is "a joint effort of Public Radio International, WNYC, BBC, The New York Times, and WGBH:
Although the upcoming show, like "Morning Edition" (which will continue), will be news driven, it will, he promises, be faster - and different in style and content. Instead of prepared, researched segments, Hockenberry and Udoji will talk with reporters in real time, as well as with listeners via phone calls and e-mail. What listeners will hear is "two people trying to get to the bottom of this live, rather than people reading intros to pieces that in this century begin to sound like podcasts."
"We believe in reporting, even if we don't believe in packages," Hockenberry says. "The show still has to be incredibly rigorous and fastidious, but the resources won't be going into the production of pieces."
This is a timely article for me.

Yesterday morning when I was driving to the airport at 4:53 AM there was no traffic on the threes. I did hear a caller call in and talk about a mess of garbage strewn along I-93. The host said he'd inform the traffic department.

Phoned in twittergram (audio)

What I would have preferred to hear was a call to people out on the road to call in and report what they were seeing on I-93.

When I got to the end of Storrow Drive, 93 South was closed and the road crew was just removing the barriers. I rolled down my window and asked how long until the road would open. He said it would open in a minute and loop around.

Loop around?

Ha ha. That's funny. How the heck do you loop around in BOSTON? At that point I was thinking that a real time chat with people would have helped me navigate he streets to 'loop around'.

Something like a live call in radio show where I could report the road closure nad get help from others on how to navigate the streets.

I figured it out and was able to 'loop around', but I did it on my own, with no help from morning radio.

Is there any news station that's actually live, taking calls from people in the morning as the theme of the show? The Talk of Boston?
