Behind Beyond Web 2.0

Our first screencast YouTube video is finished and can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEfKMUyazaE

Originally, I showed more Web 2.0 applications, but decided to cut them to increase the pace of the video. So I posted this "director's cut" of the first part of it.

Aeric had a hard time underscoring it, seeking music that was both inspirational and legal to use.
Me, it took only three seconds to decide to use "Le Tigre - Deceptacon". Why? Because I can!

If this video seems familiar, then you have probably seen Prof. Wesch's "The Machine is Us/ing Us" which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g
We were inspired by that video to use the Web 2.0 phenomenon as a twist to promote the YouTube gathering in Berlin. By itself, this video is a short look into my personal web 2.0 experience.

Thanks again to Tommyfox87 for recommending the open source screencast software Camstudio, to be found at http://www.camstudio.org/
You're my official "Hero of the Week"!

Say, did I detect an anti-machine theme in this video? It's in Web 2.0, Deceptacon ("gasoline gut"), Wikipedia - The Machine That Changed the World? The would could do with a little more critical thinking about what we are doing. It'd be advisable not to just parrot everything we hear but to look a little deeper and check things out before we leap.

Keep in mind that this is a <i>deleted scene</i> from the main video and not to be taken out of context.

Saying I am against machines would be like saying that I am against airplanes because I like to take walks.

Is this Gaeri gone wild? Thanks for turning me on to Le Tigre and Camstudio. I've been wanting to do the screen capture thing too.

Gracias, amigo! I've played with Camtasia but I'm a big fan of open source anything!

[DallasGuyZ]

Definitely, a raise seems to be LONG overdue!

And Mr Winter is a bit of a diva, huh? I guess I'd never noticed that...
