Here is the audio for today's class of 2.4.5
13:52:48  Karen Dennis ->  Hi Pam!
13:54:00  matt montagne ->  hey y'all
13:54:07  JL ->  Howdy
13:56:57  shoemap -> -Webhead Room: Karen, jump over to the WA room , you're in the webhead room
13:57:43  shoemap ->  Hi all, we're almost ready to get started.  Jeff needs a reboot.
13:58:32  shoemap ->  We're in Sandbox A, everyone.
14:00:06  Sarah S ->  Do you want us in the Webcast room or the webhead room
14:00:10  derrallg -> -Webhead Room: Double click on the webcast academy name to go to that room Karen
14:00:18  shoemap ->  Webcast Academy
14:00:38  derrallg ->  hello
14:02:36  matt montagne ->  I can hear fine
14:02:40  Sarah S ->  Sounds great
14:02:44  matt montagne ->  I'm assuming we're not using ustream
14:02:45  JS ->  Stream sounds great
14:02:49  Karen Dennis ->  hearing fine!
14:03:05  derrallg ->  I think Jeff will get it going when he comes back
14:03:28  matt montagne ->  ahh...thanks Derral
14:03:54  JS ->  probably not yahoo live
14:04:02  JS ->  it was kind of a disaster last week
14:04:53  matt montagne ->  I can't paste in URLs to chat room
14:04:57  matt montagne ->  any tips?
14:05:03  derrallg ->  great
14:05:22  derrallg ->  no i open a different window in firefox and drag it in
14:05:28  matt montagne ->  yayyy Detroit, MI
14:05:57  matt montagne ->  http://drapestakes.blogspot.com/2008/02/ustream-just-another-thing-to-wo...
14:06:16  matt montagne ->  that is a link to a blog post Darren Draper wrote about his administrators thoughts on ustream...
14:07:57  shoemap ->  Thanks for the link, Matt.
14:08:34  shoemap ->  I thought it was great how he handled the question from the administrator
14:08:53  matt montagne ->  I agree, Pam
14:09:05  matt montagne ->  I'm a little concerned by our fears of taking risks
14:09:13  matt montagne ->  we've become SO risk aversive...I don't get it
14:09:29  matt montagne ->  is aversive a word?  I meant averse
14:09:35  shoemap ->  Fear
14:09:53  shoemap ->  of change, and lawsuits
14:10:10  matt montagne ->  yeah, we're still dealing w/fall out of "To Catch a Predator..."
14:11:34  JS ->  lawsuits. They get really nervous about immediate, live broadcasting. They have to let go, and accept the possibility that anything can happen. It's a pretty scary proposition.
14:11:38  derrallg ->  I don't think that will go away
14:12:52  matt montagne ->  @JS...I know...but why don't they get concerned by photos and first/last name in local papers?
14:13:43  JS ->  Because they have more control about what goes out.
14:13:55  matt montagne ->  heard Microsoft was going to buy Ustream...
14:14:10  JS ->  Think live TV without the 7 second delay. It creates tons of liability because of what the kids could do.
14:14:25  JL ->  http://www.webcastacademy.net/webcams
14:16:20  kolmstead ->  I think the keyword with the papers is local!!
14:17:04  JS ->  right, jl
14:17:07  JS ->  What does it add?
14:17:23  matt montagne ->  what about local predators??  They're going to use the local paper, not ustream
14:17:54  kolmstead ->  Local predators, at least ones who have been caught once, are registered and you know who they are.
14:18:24  JS ->  No. I just meant that you should answer that question when making the choice of whether or not to do video.
14:21:23  matt montagne ->  Earth Day 2008 Webcastathon info:  http://enviroscims.wikispaces.com/Earth+Day  Consider participating in the fun!!
14:21:36  derrallg ->  hows that going Matt?
14:21:44  JoseRodriguez ->  OK I'm in. I had trouble with Chat. It worked after rebooting.
14:21:48  derrallg ->  yeah
14:21:49  JoseRodriguez ->  firefox
14:22:15  JoseRodriguez ->  Go Lorna
14:22:31  matt montagne ->  @derralg-some very good loose connections...but right now they're loose...working on firming them up
14:23:43  matt montagne ->  sure...happy to talk about that
14:23:47  matt montagne ->  he he he
14:23:58  JoseRodriguez ->  I know Matt had idea on Earth Day Webcastathon
14:24:45  JoseRodriguez ->  Do you have the link?
14:24:47  JS ->  Getting occasional audio drops on ustream. Just me?
14:24:55  JoseRodriguez ->  me too
14:25:00  Karen Dennis ->  No, I am too
14:25:15  Karen Dennis ->  seems to be happening more frequently
14:25:24  JoseRodriguez ->  but still able to follow conversation until now
14:25:43  Karen Dennis ->  yes, it is dropping for longer periods of time
14:25:44  JL ->  turning video - wonder if that will help audio
14:25:52  JL ->  turning video off
14:26:14  JoseRodriguez ->  Symignton?
14:26:35  JS ->  better so far, Jeff.
14:26:42  JoseRodriguez ->  Audio coming in loud and clear
14:27:25  JoseRodriguez ->  When is Earth Day, in April?
14:27:51  matt montagne ->  that is a great idea
14:28:19  JL ->  Tuesday April 22
14:28:32  JoseRodriguez ->  I noticed Drupal at ETT enables voice comments
14:28:34  Sarah S ->  I might be able to do something with kids if it could be pre-recorded.
14:28:37  derrallg ->  during our testing week
14:29:12  Sarah S ->  That way it could run anytime - even those inconvenient slots
14:29:24  JoseRodriguez ->  When night falls is probably a good working model
14:29:45  JoseRodriguez ->  Asking for moderators for selected hours
14:31:11  JoseRodriguez ->  Or even simulcast from Skype conferences
14:31:34  JoseRodriguez ->  when you are a guest
14:31:49  JoseRodriguez ->  not necessarily involved in conversation
14:32:10  JoseRodriguez ->  Go John
14:32:15  JS ->  :-)
14:32:24  JS ->  Actually, I'm going through links at the moment.
14:32:38  JS ->  That's okay -- I'll figure it out
14:32:42  kolmstead ->  @Matt - I am in MN right now, but when I get back we can discuss my roll. I can probably moderate for an hour or so, but I need to practice between now and then.
14:32:55  JoseRodriguez ->  limited bandwidth, my neighbor is on vacaction :-)
14:33:58  matt montagne ->  @kolmstead...that would be excellent!  Drop your contact information on the Earth Day 2008 Webcast Planning page:  http://enviroscims.wikispaces.com/Earth+Day
14:34:04  JoseRodriguez ->  old tale of hijacking free-wifi
14:34:45  JoseRodriguez ->  Being able to webcast and have an audience available
14:35:48  JoseRodriguez ->  Use Skype chat and Webcast Academy Site to practice streaming
14:36:16  Karen Dennis ->  Julie Schumacher did that I think!
14:36:30  JoseRodriguez ->  Educational BloodBath was pretty cool also
14:36:41  Karen Dennis ->  Julie is the one that hooked me up with the Academy!
14:37:44  JoseRodriguez ->  @matt check out what youthvoices are doing already  Lee Baber and folks
14:37:51  JoseRodriguez ->  Spacecasts
14:39:13  JoseRodriguez ->  Beatles? How old are you Darrel?
14:39:18  derrallg ->  46
14:39:21  JS ->  many radio stations aren't live either. :-)
14:39:39  derrallg ->  yes my parents couldn't believe I was a Beatle fanatic
14:39:55  JoseRodriguez ->  walled garden idea is probably they way to start
14:40:00  JS ->  All of the beatles songs? That would be a pretty long show.
14:40:14  JoseRodriguez ->  He listend to Beatles live
14:40:27  JoseRodriguez ->  as a baby
14:40:52  JS ->  Yep. Famous Ohioan :-)
14:41:02  Karen Dennis ->  what about the disco era!
14:41:07  Karen Dennis ->  disco rocks!
14:41:08  JS ->  I was a huge beatles fan in HS, too, and that was a lot later.
14:41:18  JS ->  Or, at least, a *little* later.
14:41:37  matt montagne ->  dead milkmen
14:41:42  JoseRodriguez ->  six pistols?
14:41:59  JoseRodriguez ->  cool
14:42:15  Sarah S ->  WOW! Very cool Derrall
14:43:02  JoseRodriguez ->  Derrall with hair
14:43:31  derrallg ->  oh boy, how did that happen
14:43:48  Karen Dennis ->  So we are to just go ahead and and complete our interncasts, post our portfolio, then request the gradcast?
14:43:52  JoseRodriguez ->  I know lee had problems getting into chat
14:44:03  JoseRodriguez ->  I saw her on chat2 for a min
14:44:13  shoemap ->  @Karen, that is correct.
14:44:23  Karen Dennis ->  Wonderful, thanks!
14:45:39  Karen Dennis ->  yes!
14:45:41  JoseRodriguez ->  audio is good
14:45:46  JS ->  yep
14:45:58  JS ->  Jeff, you've already used all your bandwidth for the day
14:46:11  JS ->  not afraid to fail.
14:46:18  JoseRodriguez ->  Jeff wants to break it again
14:46:19  JS ->  Not broken? Let me try harder
14:46:41  matt montagne ->  I was just looking back thru chat...yes, Doug Symington from Vancouver Island has verbally committed to Earth Day 2008 Webcast
14:46:57  matt montagne ->  I'm not so sure how accurate those are Jeff
14:47:15  matt montagne ->  but who knows
14:47:36  JoseRodriguez ->  @matt you can also advertise and put EarthDay on Worldbridges calendar.  We have used in previouse webcastathons.
14:47:43  matt montagne ->  audio good...
14:47:48  JoseRodriguez ->  still good
14:47:55  matt montagne ->  @JoseR...good idea...will do that
14:47:56  Karen Dennis ->  it broke out once for me but just for a sec
14:48:16  matt montagne ->  Perhaps we can get the Women of the Web to participate on that day as well...
14:48:20  JoseRodriguez ->  Jeff can create a node on worldbriges site @matt
14:48:22  JS ->  http://www.chatzy.com/ cool, but not embedable
14:48:36  JS ->  And need ing to log in, but not needing an account. That can be confusing to people.
14:48:55  matt montagne ->  OK, Jeff...thanx...I'll get it on webcast academy calendar
14:49:00  JoseRodriguez ->  putting grid to sign up for time
14:49:03  matt montagne ->  I think the chat tool is decent
14:49:23  matt montagne ->  I haven't been able to find the "perfect" chat tool
14:49:36  JoseRodriguez ->  Welcome to the club :-)
14:49:52  JoseRodriguez ->  This interface is good for me.
14:50:02  derrallg ->  i like this interface too
14:50:05  JS ->  couple little audio hiccups just then
14:50:13  matt montagne ->  Internet Weather...I like that phrase
14:50:15  JoseRodriguez ->  yep
14:50:22  matt montagne ->  I'm going to steal that one I think
14:50:27  JoseRodriguez ->  or they weren't talking
14:51:13  matt montagne ->  is today the final "class"
14:51:19  JoseRodriguez ->  Internet Weather up on wikipedia via Matt in ??? minutes
