Doing An Assignment My Way

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 16:30:56 +0000

Assignment

My teacher gave us an assignment, go out, interview 3 people, ask them a few questions and then we’ll edit them together in class. I checked out a camera from the school lab. I took the camera to work, thinking, I’ll get a few coworkers to interview….

Before I even sit down to record the first interview I realize the camera takes tape, which of course I don’t have lying around. I end up getting too busy to even think about leaving work to get the tape, much less interviewing anyone at this point. So…

That got me thinking..

Why do I have to go out and pick people to ask the questions? Why not just get some people w/a webcam and a Youtube account to answer those interview questions? And I’ll just download and edit together the videos!

Action

That’s where you guys come in, you know, the ones I asked on Twitter yesterday if you had a webcam and a Youtube account? I got a lot of responses, with most saying that they did have a webcam and a Youtube account.

So fire up those webcams and record your responses to these questions:

(yes, I know they are random, there is a method to the madness)

Question #1
What do you think about James Cameron, the director? Did you like his movies? Why? (ex Avatar, Titanic.)

Question #2
What do you think of the blogger Perez Hilton and his rise to fame, is it a deserved fame?

Question #3
What is your most hated movie and why?

Visual How-To

Just in case you aren’t sure how to upload a video to Youtube, I’ve included screen caps below on where the buttons are in the interface. They make it really easy to just record right in the browser!

When You’re Done Recording

Please leave the links to the videos you record in the comments, or DM me on Twitter the link.

I also wanted to say a big Thank You! in advance to those who participate.

Hacking Haiti Donations

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 03:57:25 +0000

United Nations Development Programme on Flickr

I gave to Haiti, did you? While I did give, it just felt like it wasn’t as much as I would like to or can afford at the moment. I thought maybe I’ll take time to work in a local charity? Reality of course set in, the reality that I’m a full-time student and hold a part-time job.

Why not use what I know, social media, I mean, I did get my internship, now job because of it. So why not try to leverage social media again?

So what’s the idea/hack?

It’s simple;

Copy the message below, or make one up of your own and a link to the charity of your choice.

Make sure to append the #hackinghaiti hashtag to the message if you make up your own. I would like to track this.

Haiti still needs your help, make sure to donate! http://j.mp/7tc6Or #hackinghaiti

Click “Send Later” and a pick a date a month from the date you are reading this post.

On the right, click on the accounts you want to post to.

This is what it it should look like.

Hit the “Schedule” button and That’s it!

A month from now you will post a reminder to people about the tragedy in Haiti and that donations are still needed. Maybe a person that sees the message wasn’t able to give when it was in the public eye? Maybe they have cash to spare when your message gets posted? So maybe, just maybe they will give when they see the message you just posted, a month later? Now, multiply that person times a thousand and you have some serious donations!

Also, it doesn’t have to just be a month from now, you can post up to 3 months later. Or even better yet, you could repost the same message multiple times for 3 months!

Helpful notes:
Curious if your message has been scheduled? Just add a column, select the service you scheduled it on and pick “Pending Update” then select the account on that service and click “Create Column”, now a new column will show up with your pending message for that service.
Hint: If your message doesn’t show up right away hit the refresh button.

Kinda confused about how to schedule a posting in Hootsuite? The embedded video below should start right when the guy is explaining how to schedule a tweet aka post.

Tell me what you think of this idea and tell me if you are going to take part in the comments below.

Top 20 Songs of 2009

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:28:50 +0000

This list is not meant to be perfect, it’s meant to be a list of songs that truly grabbed me this year. They are in no particular order on purpose. Yes, there are some amazing artists out there that aren’t on this list. But they didn’t stick in my consciousness long enough to pop into my head at the time I composed this list. And yes, I know Yeasayer just released Ambling Alp but I absolutely love this song and there will undoubtedly be more songs from this album that end up on my list next year when it is released next year.

I predict next year will be the year La Roux, Florence and The Machine break onto the US scene. Do yourself a favor and experience La Roux visually by viewing her music videos. Her label stupidly doesn’t allow the embedding of her videos from Youtube or I’d post them here.

Send me an @ on twitter or comment below with songs you think should fill in the last 4 to make it a full top 20.

Top 09

Albums/Artists that aren’t on the list but are worth a listen:

Wolfmother
YACHT
Esser
Boy In Static
Ishi (local)

Test out Lala for yourself click here

Other lists worth taking a listen to include @weeklytapedeck & @gorillavsbear

After an exciting stint as an intern, I can now say that I’m officially employed by the Granada Theater! Big thanks goes out to everyone in this screen capture. [1263 x 4181 PNG]

UTD ppl What time (hour) does class registration begin? I'm supposed to be able to do it today but it's not letting me. #
@clarissaBrock It just says 16th, no hour. in reply to clarissaBrock #
Thanks @ATECadvise 8:45 appears to be the start time (odd). Also, check your DM from me from earlier so I won't have a delay at 8:45 #
Looking forward to the day when I can reply to Facebook (emails,events) & Twitter (DM) messages within Gmail. Not using 3rd party apps. #
@ATECadvise sent you an email about that issue, still not letting me register for CS2335. in reply to ATECadvise #

Imogen Heap at Granada Theater

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:38:59 +0000

Not gonna lie, last night was probably the highlight of my internship at the Granada Theater.

I’ve been a long time fan of Imogen Heap, as in, I had iMegaphone on cassette tape back in 1998 and my old friend Ryan Obermeyer did the art work for Speak For Yourself. When I heard that she had chosen the Granada as the venue for her Dallas performance I had an internal SQUEEEEE! Think flaming gay man with flailing arms excited running down a hallway excited. But as most know me, I am a calm natured in real life and not so ready to start fires with my gayness, so I kept my cool but with a big smile.

The Show

I unexpectedly managed to get in during the sound check for Immi. When I say unexpected, I mean I didn’t realize she’d be doing sound check so late. She literally left the stage minutes before people entered the venue.

My good friend Eva and I sat and watched as Immi tested various equipment and songs in her non-stage clothes and her simple hair up in a bun do. It was one of those “damn this job is so awesome” moments.

Then in a unbelievably packed to the hilt Granada Theater I watched Back Ted-n-Ted and Tim Exile play with what I like to call “toys” on stage, working their craft to the delight of the crowd.

When Imogen hit the stage she did as I expected, wonderful. She’s got a charmed presence on stage that is endearing to fans of her music. Her tinkering with the equipment, song restarts and mumbling to herself into an open mic during the show never felt like a disappointment, it just added charm to the show.

She played nearly an equal amount from both of her mainstream albums and nothing from iMegaphone. One of my favorite songs from Eclipse, Bad Body Double was presented as almost more of a rap version than the album’s version. With Buffi Jacobs of Polyphonic Spree Immi performed another favorite, Aha! which I have always thought of as very much like a Tim Burton/Danny Elfman composed song with Imogen Heap doing vocals. Come to think of it, even the tree and lighting for the tour almost seems like early Tim Burton (but a little more feminine).

During Hide and Seek and Just For Now Imogen “played the crowd like an instrument” # which admittedly sent chills through me as I heard the perfectly synchronized voices of the people below rise up and meet with Imogen’s vocals. It was one of those moments I live for when seeing an artist perform live.

Behind the Granada I waited in the cold along with many other fans to get an autograph and a photo with Imogen. While it was chilly, it was worth the wait. She’s just as pleasant in person as she is on the stage. She even got the group of fans to sing Happy Birthday to a girl named NayNay which I’m sure made for one super happy fan and a wonderful birthday present!

The techie in me took the time to put together an RSS feed of links to postings all over the web about the show using Yahoo Pipes and Imogen’s ingenious idea to use hashtags/tags for every show on the tour. You can click here to view it. Also embedded below are some photos and videos I took. Enjoy!

Spring Semester?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:19:10 +0000

Tried to get a loan for school, went to Chase, they said they no longer service UTD for student loans. So, I went to Wells Fargo, they said sure! But since I don’t have an income right now I need a cosigner. Figured I’ll just use my mom, well, she apparently doesn’t have good enough credit for WF so the loan was denied.
I plan to make a few calls tomorrow to see what I can do. But for the moment I’m feeling absolutely defeated & nervous for the future.

Windows XP to Windows 7 Using The Upgrade Copy From Digital River

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:52:43 +0000

I absolutely love most things about Windows 7, especially when compared to Windows XP. It is faster, it is prettier and much more useful. With that said, upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 using the $30 upgrade copy from Digital River was the biggest pain in my ass I’ve experienced since troubleshooting my mother-in-laws computer with Windows ME on it.

After I went back and forth with Microsoft & Digital River over the phone for a good hour and a half over the activation issue I was having. The only thing that came out of the phone calls was frustration, misinformation and bad attitudes, oh and tons of transfers. Needless to say I was pissed.

The issue was the activation was saying I hadn’t upgraded from a previous edition of Windows, which, all stemmed from trying to use the Home Premium Upgrade disc from Digital River.

In order to upgrade from XP (unless Digital River fixed it) to Window 7 you have to create an ISO out of the download. Which is completely un-user friendly. Then take that disc you made and boot into the install, wipe the drive to do a fresh install of Windows 7.

When you get to the part about putting in the Product Key it will more than likely tell you that you have an invalid key. Instead, just skip putting in the key and continue the install.

Once you are inside Windows go to this site and use Method #2. I tried it on 2 machines and it worked. Now you have a fully functional copy of Windows 7 to enjoy!

My main reason for writing this is that I personally have suggested upgrading to Windows 7 to many of my friends and I fear that they will try and call the idiots at Microsoft or Digital River and will end up just as ticked off as I was.

Another reason is, I wish Microsoft would read this and reconsider their partnership with Digital River and think about just offering it from their own site, as an ISO. Not to mention, they need to offer a way to put in your old XP/Vista Key to validate your upgrade should you have to wipe your drive to do the install. If your computer craps out and you install Windows 7 again from the upgrade disc, you will have to do those registry edits again to make it work. This is completely un-user friendly and it’s why people are moving to MACs, even if they are ridiculously overpriced.

The Napkin Stories, Evolved.

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 14:58:53 +0000

The Beginning

Back in high school my friend Carmen used to pass around a napkin and a pen at lunch. We would be given a prompt and then told to add our line to the napkin, fold it over and pass it down to the next person. At the end, we would unfold the napkin to read the story we all created.

The Idea

With that said, I have a project that requires us to use the “New Media” to create a story. This involves getting people to get in on the fun. So, I thought, how about I update the “Napkin Stories” for the web? And what if instead of giving you a noun, a verb, a sex as a prompt, I just give you a Creative Commons licensed photograph as a prompt?

How to get involved

Use your Twitter/Facebook, personal blog to make your reply. Think, a status update on twitter, a comment on Facebook, an entire blog post on your own blog. Also, you don’t have to write a whole story, just a line is fine.

All I ask is that somewhere in the story you include what is called a hashtag. You only need to use the hashtag if you are posting somewhere other than in the comments on this blog. Hashtags are primarily used for Twitter but can be used anywhere. Each photograph/story will have its own hashtag which will allow me to find it by searching on Google, Facebook & Twitter.

*Note: Keep in mind that if you’re Facebook profile is private or you are not a friend of mine, I will not be able to find your reply.

Here is the photo for the first story as your prompt. Please use the hashtag #Napkin1.

I updated the hashtag because NS1 is too common.

Ideas to get you started:

The story can be, where came from, who he is, who he’s going to be….

I feel for @tmobile_USA right now. First the Sidekick fiasco, now this. I've had them for 7 yrs & have been trouble free. Growing Pains? #
Crossing my fingers that the V remake mirrors the awesomeness of BSG's remake. #
