YouTube video editor doesn't seem to be processing so I emailed the video from my iPhone, imported it to iMovie (~10 mins), rotated it in iMovie and exported it to QuickTime (~1hr) and then uploaded it onto YouTube (~2hrs).
So it's up and working now. For all those working on html5 video, if it increases rendering and upload time forget it. The bane of my existence at CNN was capturing the web in video. Final Cut can never get the rendering and compression for text right.
Rant over, the blog post should be good to go. Oh, and can anyone recommend a free and easy wireframe software that can import screen grabs? Been trying MockingBird but don't think it imports screengrabs
Rough start to the week: A system failure at my domain registrar means my domain wasn't renewed this weekend, so there's a DNS problem, which has rendered my blog offline.
The Tumbr blog that I just set up to fill the gap until problems are resolved (no pun intended) suddenly isn't functioning properly -- it won't publish a new post.
So, I've reposted a stripped down version of this week's post (as noted) on my other Tumblr blog:
Open source, closed mind: News technology as cultural Trojan
And now Firefox won't start.
Also: There are thunderstorms in Toronto right now.
When it rains... (Pun intended this time.)
Happy Monday.
Here's my week 2 blog:
My post is up: "Web Apps to the Rescue?"
My blogpost Accessibility, Simplicity and Community Please comment!
My thoughts this week: Understanding and engaging
New toys and the importance of experimenting at the boundaries.
I'm keen to set up a discussion with some of the core journalists in our number. I want to know a bit more about what they feel the role of commenting is in journalism, and try out some of my ideas on them (possible collaboration?). Send me an message on here if anyone is interested.
A very strong week for #MoJo Learning Lab. Chris Helimann and Jesse James Garrett were exceptional. Here is my weekly post: http://www.jeremygilbert.com/2011/07/25/806/articles/designing-a-one-size-fits-one-user-experience
Musings on Week 2. Took the LEGO / clay analogy and ran with that.

Nice work Katie! Re: drawing a parallel to your thought of crowd-sourced news analysis.
Ben Huh just recently started The Moby Dick Project. It's goals are to take on the crowd ablities of something like wikipedia, while moving away from depending on news organizations pointing out their own biases. A slight tangent but similar ideas of using the public to prouduce their news.
Video of Ben talking about the project on TWiT:
"If the people can pick their own president, they can pick their own news"

Two important messages from the last week talks for me were: "Open up and build a community". This is the title of my blog post:

More details inside.
Hello everyone,
I decided to write about building a tribe around your project.
Toward the end I talk a little bit about how we learn and if perhaps if isn't time to rethink the methods we use to famailize people with new products.
I'd be very curious to hear from others how they best learn.
Later,
Shaminder
My week 2 post. I'd have liked to get more into some of the community building discussion from the Resig lecture, but 500 words...
A hack diving into the world of hackers: Here's Corrigo's blog assignment for the second week. Thanks a lot for three interesting lectures!
Here's mine:
Blog post #2, 492 words. Now it's time to work on that 256 char description. :)
(and after that, back to some Python coding for the Tribler project to keep people at work happy :p)
