I scooted down to the Capitol to see the Future of Video hearing of the Internet and Telcommunications Subcommittee of the house of Reps. The Chairman, Ed Markey, whipped out his camcorder, vlogger style, and shot the audience. He YouTubed it and you can see it on his site.

I think I got mine up first! http://tinyurl.com/2fcszh As for the hearing, it was cool until I ran out of batteries. )(*&$%&*%$Y&[EMAIL PROTECTED] Too many suits, no non corporate people testifying. It was people like Markey included Chad Hurley, co-founder of YouTube, Thomas S. Rogers of TiVo, Benjamin N. Pyne from Disney and ESPN Networks, Blake Krikorian of Sling Media and Mark Cuban, co-founder of HDNet. I don't know if any schmo off the street can shoot video during committee hearings, but for this particular one, they were open to me whipping out my Xacti. Big ups to Chris Parandian for letting me know about the hearing.
