Hi Manu,

Was wondering what you use to create these videos? I think they're great, engaging and a great educational resource.

[Manu Sporny]

I use a mixture of tools: audio headset, wacom tablet to draw, image editing app, a screen recorder, and a video editor. I pre-draw some of the base slides first, then narrate while drawing over the base slides. I then take each segment and stitch it together in a video editing app. This was the first video I did in this way, and I used: A logitech headset/mic, a 12" wacom tablet, gimp, xrecorder, and Blender.

A new internet, one capable of tattling on you because it will have its own set of preprogrammed morals as dictated by some committee whose members get their directives from some shadow figure in a poorly lit penthouse office. The system can't control the web and that bothers them, do you believe that they are going to allow the creation of a new system without putting safeguards in place they can later abuse.

[Manu Sporny]

re: "... believe that they're going to allow ..." - I don't believe in some sinister shadow figure calling the shots on the future of the Web. If there is such a person or persons, the Semantic Web is about more decentralization and less centralization of power. That's a good thing.

NOOOOOOOO!!! We must stop this foolishness, if we do this computers will start rebelling and taking over!!!

All I'm saying is, after the fail of CISPA and all it's sister injustices, the US government and its allies have been actively seeking a method for putting a leash on the internet. They are running into direct opposition, so if this semantic web is currently being developed it would be foolish to assume they aren't going to be taking precautions to assure that it won't happen again.
