OK, fwiw: I did not get past this gem: There's one catch though, it's an encyclopedia which means the content must be encyclopedic. Now, arguments/debates/discussions in this group are worth their weight in electrons, I know, but somebody PLEASE tell me no one currently participating here thinks this any more than drunky wunky talkWhat did I miss?

[videoblogging] Re: Video Blog Wikipedia Entry
(A half hour later...) Now I see the importance, I think. For those who think this group - its members and their efforts - are at least important enough to document in some kind of historical record, the screwing around with its Wikipedia entry is hurtful vandalism, at the least, but maybe also at the most. So lemme ask one more obvious (to me anyway) question: does the definitive - or at least, the fairly accurate, as we know it now - entry about this group reside somewhere other than Wikipedia, for safekeeping? Rupert, on your hard drive, maybe, or Verdi's, or some one's? It's not like youse guyz NEED an external site to maintain your own history, is it? This is not to excuse the rampant illogical editing of the vlog wikipedia entry, of course; it's just to suggest what may already have happened: if it's important to document, then hey, save it in a safe place!

[videoblogging] May I have your attention please
To avert confusion and misunderstanding, I want to clarify 3 points. 1. One of the Videobloggers is Susan, of Wylie, Texas, not far from where I am. Susan sometimes calls herself/her blog kitykity. Four or five years ago, I made a video called Here Kitty Kitty, which still lives somewhere on the Internet, though I have trouble finding it, and I hope you do too, because it's extremely silly. Susan's kitykity and my Here, Kitty Kitty have no relation to each other, and this is greatly to the esteemed Susan's advantage. 2. There is also Mr Jonny Goldstein, evidently of Washington, DC. There is also ALSO Mr S. Goldstein, who is a roommate of mine, to whom I occasionally refer, but who is not a member of this group, which is to the enormous benefit of the group, because Mr S. Goldstein - unlike Mr Jonny Goldstein - is fundamentally unsound. Plus he's not 100% housetrained yet, even though he thinks I think he is, if my fellow doglovers get my drift. 3. Finally, my own nom de groupe is Wallythewonderdog, but I usually style myself Wallythewarlord. We are one and the same, wallythewonderdog = wallythewarlord, just as soylentgreen = people. Congruent, that's the word I'm looking for. Thank you, and have a good weekend. wtw = wtw
[videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon 2007
Yeah, I vote for Montreal. You are talking about the one in Canada, right?
[videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon 2007
NOT SO FAST THERE, BUCKO. 5 minutes ago, at the top of the wiki voting page, it said I added a few DC folks who told me they are in favor of DC--Jonny. How about this: There are, oh, 80 or 90 folks who told me they are in favor of Montreal. OK if I add their names? I thought not. --Wally le Seigneur de Guerre
[videoblogging] Re: Saturday Videoblogging FlashMeeting
To all who were in the FlashMeeting today: sorry I snuck out without warning, but my screen froze up and I tried to reload the page - yikes!But with my old coal-fired computer I'm surprised I got in at all, and glad I did. What I did hear, and read, was interesting and useful, and I recommend anyone who hasn't checked out these meetings should give it a try! Wally
[videoblogging] Seagate hates you
Okay so tonight I'm the bitch of the group. Be that as it may I'd read right here that Seagate was a main sponsor of the recent CES Bloghaus, so I thoughten to myself Fine, I need a new hard drive, let's go shopping, for a Seagate of course. BUT THEN Have any of you gone to their website to shop for hard drives? Well, I just did, and it's NOT POSSIBLE. Go to their main page (www.seagate.com) and try to follow the links to anything that resembles product information or anything of the sort - GO AHEAD I DARE YOU! Thanks and have a delightful evening. Grrr. W.W.
[videoblogging] Re: Seagate hates you
Oops, there it is - never mind! So it took half an hour to come up, let Seagate blame it on me, or on the cold, or - sorry! I'm still in a bitchy mood. W.W.
[videoblogging] Re: He had a dream/The state of blacks
Hey, some really good stuff tonight on PBS about King and the 1960s civil rights movement. Yes, I watch TV sometimes, sue me! W.W. (he of the bitchy mood)

[videoblogging] In memoriam C.P.
My sympathy and love go out tonight to the family, friends, colleagues, and fans all over the world of Carlo Ponti, a maestro of the movies who died today (Jan. 10) in Switzerland. Few people, maybe a half dozen total, have had such a profound effect on an entire national cinema, and certainly not for such a long time or across so many cultural boundaries. Are any of you old enough to remember the Gilda Radner BW filmed bit on SNL, in which she wanders around early morning New York, I think she may have been holding a balloon? That was one of many tributes to Carlo Ponti's work in U.S. popular culture. I suspect I speak for all the Yahoo Videoblogging bunch when I say arrivederci, Carlo, we miss you. W.W.
[videoblogging] USB flash device recommendations?
I want to be able to carry around stupid little movies on my keychain. Probably I'll buy either a 512 MB or 1 GB - do any of you have these, SanDisk or any other make/model you'd recommend? And thanks for the hello, Jan, I like the pix on your site! Wally the W. My favorite vlog of the week. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3659145640654124201 (Can we get this guy to join this group y'reckon?)
[videoblogging] New year, new member
Hello all, I've been planning to join this group for several weeks, and just barely made it on the first day of 2007. I'm in Texas, about 90 miles from Crawford. Right now I'm (a) typing this; (b) downloading a Josh Wolf video; and (c) watching Boise St vs Oklahoma. Have a great 2007, or at least an above average January 2! Wally the W.
