I've got a new word, vSpan.
It's like C-Span where we get coverage of events that are not normally covered by mainstream media.
vSpan is Citizen Journalists who are there with their video cameras, documenting events as they happen.
When this gets popular, we'll be able to see things that up till now, we've just been able to read about in the newspapers.
Right now I'm using this as a TEST VIDEO BLOG to check out new ways of easily posting video to the web.

Here's a brief excerpt from Jason Scott's BBS Documentary.
Jason interviewed me about the early days of going online with a Macintosh. In this video I talk about the first time that I encountered someone online.

With all the excitement over the portable Yule Log, I decided to film a time lapse video of a Menorah, with burning candles, set to the music of The LeeVees.
You can watch online or download a portable virtual video menorah to your iPod.
In this video I first light the Shamesh, the highest candle, then light the left most candle and work my way from left to right. The three candles signify the third night of Hanukkah, which this year fall on Deecember 27th.
The lyrics of the song relate to the second night of Hanukkah, where two candles are lit, but I didn't get to shoot this in time for the second night.
Chanukah (Hebrew for 'dedication') is also known as the Feast of Lights or the Feast of Dedication, and it begins on the 25th day of Kislev (the third month of the Jewish year), usually around Yule.
Happy Hanukkah!
Music: The LeeVees Latka Clan from the album Hanukkah Rocks

In this episode, Steve comes home late Sunday from a trip to Florida, so Carol and Steve go for a walk in the snow.
While Steve was away, Boston was hit by a surprise blizzard and thundersnow. It always snows when Steve is away.
During the walk the discussion turns to vlogging and Steve talks about how vlogs are not trying to be TV shows, they are just capuring fleeting moments of people's lives, that they may want to share with family and friends. It doesn't have to be a big blockbuster for everybody.
