The Year of Coffee Blog

In 2005, I shot and blogged every cup of coffee I consumed. My new blog chronicles everything, I eat.

In which, I brewed coffee and answered your questions live. Show date Friday 20 April 2007 at 2:00 p.m. MST.

In which we geek around, set up a stream, and do a live broadcast on ustream.tv. Most of it can be summed up as, “Is this thing on? Cool, this thing is on.”

I call Mother, then Deacon joins in, and I set up a conference call just like on MSM. Several podcasters join in the conversation. We then chat with Todd from Geek News Central.

Desktop broadcasting.

Deacon sums it up best. “The video”, he says, “added absolutely nothing.” True. 1720.

Update 4:25 a.m. - Here is the recorded show. It is some two hours long and really only interesting towards the end when we do Geek Talk Live.

Update days later - Video taken down to save space. Trust me, you are not missing anything.

Update 9:43 a.m. - Ryan emails me the links and writes (brought up from comments):

The balance between completeness and timeliness will keep things interesting. Twitter on one end, the New York Times on the other. Obviously the first information out of a crisis isn’t always going to be correct. Then again, the New York Times ain’t exactly infallible.

Case in point? Mike got his video up first, ’cause I got overambitious and tried to upload a 130MB, 17 minute clip… which, of course, YouTube choked on only after a long, long, upload attempt. Gah. At least Google Video allows more than 100MB or 10 minutes, and a larger frame size:
