I know this is really evil, and I hope I don't get kicked of the list,
but I just posted an email in another thread that is, I think, really
relevant to this thread, so I'm copying it again below ... Richard,
the dual thread poster and sometimes thread starter .. hee hee hee

Recently my wife said that she wished she could see some of the videos
I'm always talking about, and wished she could just watch them on TV.

Being Technologically challenged, I didn't know how to do this but
went to Radio Shack, talked to the guy and came home sporting a long
s-video cable and a cable that had an RCA jack on one end and an end
that fit in my headphone jack. (total of about $20)

AND THE REVOLUTION BEGAN ...

We watch video literally on our TV every night via ant ... the picture
is oftensort of crappy, and I can't figure out how to make .mov files
full screen in ant, but it doesn't matter, it's just so much more
comfortable to sit on the couch drinking a beer and share the video
blogging experience with my wife ... somehow I feel like I've made
some major transformation in recognizing what grass roots media really
is as a "competitor" for my normal TV shows ... how the web could so
totally change everything ...  clearly not for many people, but really
cool for me ...

Speaking of which, to make the situation even cooler ... last night,
at 10:30 central time, II open firefox, type in a url, click a button
and suddenly I'm watching Jay and Ryann live from New York. The
picture was sort of fuzzy; it wasn't exactly the most polished script
:); and when they said something about Harry Potter and I thought they
might show my Harry Potter party video, it turned out quite a bit
different (in fact, I was afraid they might have me - a 47 year old -
on tape standing in line to get the book) ... and I LOVED it ... who
cared about the picture quality and polished script - I had my own
personalized TV show from New York ON MY TV ... Jay and Ryann live in
my living room talking about and showing video blogs ... I pinch
myself ... ow! ...

... anyway, what I meant to say was thanks for sharing the url, and
for the show, it was really cool ... Richard, Jay and Raynn groupie
