Just minutes after West Lothian phenom Susan Boyle walked onto the stage of Britian’s Got Talent last Saturday night, even snarky Simon Cowell’s heart was melting under the brilliance of her song. So too everyone fortunate to be watching the show live across the UK. Back in the day (i.e. around the turn of the [...]

My TV, My PC
For years I’ve been my own best Guinea pig for testing new tools, technologies, techniques… anything I could use to tell a story or that might impact my customers and audience. And because of my first career asĀ producer and director, web video has held special interest that way. Years ago when a defense industry [...]
Art Attack

Burning Down the TV
David Byrne sang about burning down the house and now it’s time for burning down the TV thanks to Miro, the open source video player. Think TIVO for web, but without buying any hardware or software (sorry AppleTV). Think millions of programs packaged as pre-programmed channels, or search the web and make a channel with [...]

Stephen King’s Media Mashup
CBS’ Simon & Shuster dipped its toe into the world of online video over the summer with the launch of its own digital production studio to produce digital HD video interview series and other features around its authors.
