Google Video (Beta) - Video Upload Program

Just noticed this on the Blogger Buzz blog. Going to try it out for uploading my videos, to see how it compares to Ourmedia.org.

I’ll be sure to share my impressions.

@Jerry_Makare @jmoriarty Thanks! To celebrate, I’ll be cooped up in the house for the 5th straight day. Maybe play some GH: World Tour. Yay! in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@turoczy @geekygirldawn Thanks! I shall do my best to have fun today. in reply to turoczy #
@grigs @jltitus @billpearson Thanks! The snow was kind of an unexpected birthday present. No, you really shouldn’t have. Really. in reply to grigs #
@dswiese @dslanius @spinnerin @lunarobverse Thanks for the birthday wishes! I have a feeling I’m going to say that a lot today. in reply to dswiese #
In other news, Happy Birthday Stephen Speilberg, Brad Pitt, Duke Franz Ferdinand, Ricardo Carreon, and Adhemar Damiani! #
@ahockley Want WiMAX info? http://clear.com You can enter an address to check coverage, and their live chat is very helpful. in reply to ahockley #
Looks like Clearwire, Portland’s new WiMAX provider, is on Twitter. Welcome, @clearwimax! #
Playing with the 12 seconds iPhone app (pick/take 3 photos + 12 seconds of audio). Like A/V Twitter. My first one: http://tinyurl.com/4u8pl7 #
Thank you for all the latest birthday wishes. I don’t want to miss anyone, so I’m going to be saying Thank You a lot today. Sorry! #
Snowpocalypse update (in case you missed me tweeting about the weather): Snow stopped, skies clearing. Never got below 32F in Aloha. #pdxtst #
@rachelbancroft Thanks, sweetie! I don’t think they have the birthday song in Rock Band/Guitar Hero, but they should! in reply to rachelbancroft #
@palmsolo Thanks! I was going to post a comment on your ZDNet Kindle post, but forgot my password. Glad you’re liking the Kindle! in reply to palmsolo #
Meltpocalypse in Aloha - the sun is out, skies are blue! #pdxtst http://twitpic.com/ty5q #
@thesquare Um, what’s a 6-box? I’m honored to be in yours, and all. Just curious what it is. http://twitpic.com/tyo3 in reply to TheSquare #
@ORMediaInsiders @thesquare Ah, gotcha re: sixbox. Thanks. Live from Aloha, this is Josh Bancroft, reporting for #pdxtst. Back to you, Joe! in reply to ORMediaInsiders #
Cool! Tommy Refenes, the guy who wrote the game Goo! has started blogging on intel Software Network. His 1st post: http://tinyurl.com/4lzjna #
@Jerry_Makare Excellent - thanks for adding that video link! in reply to Jerry_Makare #
Why is it that I’m powerless to resist buying an application that @gruber raves about? He’s cost me a lot of money. #
@TiEsQue Yay Bit Stories shirt! Thanks, Todd! in reply to TiEsQue #
@Jerry_Makare Got it - just left you a comment. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@bmw Cool! (re: #seatst in the P-I). One of us needs to figure how to monetize this whole tst thing before someone else does. in reply to bmw #
Wonderful birthday evening. Yummy dinner, cake, and Guitar Hero with the family. Thanks to @rachelbancroft, and all b-day well wishers! #

The Snopocalypse has yet to materialize in Aloha. It looks forbidding out there, though. #pdxtst #
Conundrum: It gets really cold in my home office with the door closed. But if I open the door, my kids think it’s open season on dad. #
And the Snowpocalypse rolls into Aloha (#pdxtst): http://twitpic.com/tml1 #
@JoshProStar But I went all Mac! I don’t have any more Pentium 4s to keep me warm. Though my MBP makes an excellent lapwarmer. in reply to JoshProStar #
@KGWNewsChannel8 I get a bunch of “Mailbox Full” bounce notices when I email yourpics@kgw.com. Security leak, revealing emails like that. in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
In an Intel DUM meeting with @billpearson, @jerry_makare, and probably a whole lot of other @intelsoftware people. #
@billpearson Maybe we should put cat doors in our office doors. Lets heat circulate, keeps housebears (children) out. in reply to billpearson #
@jltitus A baby gate is a good idea, but it wouldn’t do anything to keep my kids from standing at the gate and yelling at me. in reply to jltitus #
To everyone who suggested a space heater, good idea, but it’s rarely this cold, and I rarely work from my home office, so I’ll just suffer. #
@BrianEnigma I DO need an #electricblanket. Several, so I can make an #electricblanketfort. in reply to BrianEnigma #
Watching a neighbor put chains on the front wheels of a rear wheel drive small pickup. Umm, I don’t think that’s gonna work very well… #
@KGWNewsChannel8 If you’re thinking of changing your Twitter handle, know that you can do so without losing followers/folowees. Short=nice. in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
@vpynchon I’d go help, but they’re already gone. And what do I know? Maybe their little Mazda pickup really is front wheel drive? in reply to vpynchon #
@KGWNewsChannel8 Yeah, Hillsboro/Beaverton definitely getting heavy snow right now. Lots of big fat flakes. #pdxtst in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
Snowpocalypse Continues in Aloha. Lots of big fat flakes: http://twitpic.com/tngo #
@KGWNewsChannel8 @nelking Whoa! My crappy iPhone picture out my office window made it onto TV? Cool! I just send another one. in reply to KGWNewsChannel8 #
Saw high tech ODOT gravel applicator on our street earlier: guy in a pickup with a shovel. Grateful anyway. #pdxtst #
Snow seems to have stopped here in Aloha. #pdxtst #
And the snow is back in Aloha. It’s fading in and out. #pdxtst #
RT @protherj @jabancroft is going to be our #saocorvallis tech pub speaker in January! Be there on January 8th at Iovino’s in Covallis! #
@MCP85 I don’t have any control over the venue (I’ve never actually been to Corvallis). It’s up to the SAO folks. But thanks! in reply to MCP85 #
WUnderground says it’s 34F in my neighborhood right now. It’s starting to look a little slushy out there. #pdxtst #
Chrysler http://ff.im/k8Xf #
@justinkistner That Chrysler tweet was meant to be a search. Blame FriendFeed. Related: Chrysler closing all plants for at least 1 month. in reply to justinkistner #
(The Chrysler news is all over Twitter Trends.) #
@ashokraj Yeah, that Chrysler FriendFeed link is broken because I deleted it. Was meant to be a search, not a post. Whoops! in reply to ashokraj #
Aaand we just lost power. #
PGE outage line says about 3000 people are affected (Beaverton), estimate power won’t be back until 6:15PM. Crew dispatched. #pdxtst #
We need to run some errands anyway, so we’ll just pile in the car if we get cold. @rachelbancroft and kids are playing outside, anyway. #
It’s not Twittet, but PGE’s phone system for reporting outages is really good. 503-464-7777. Tells how many reported, affected, ETRepair. #
Power’s back in Aloha. 1.25 hours ahead of estimate. Thanks, PGE! #pdxtst #
On errands in Hillsboro. It’s raining. Roads are wet, and mostly OK. Parking lots are like giant melty Slurpees. #pdxtst #
@Metroknow That’s exactly what it’s like. Cola Slurpee. I confess to doing a little drifting/donuts in the Slurpee in some parking lots. in reply to Metroknow #
@Jmartens Yeah, the thaw continues in Hillsboro. Roads are mostly just wet. It’s slush city. Hope it stays warmer a little longer. #pdxtst in reply to Jmartens #
Wow. Have schools ever been closed 4 days in a row in Portland before? Not in the 9+ years I’ve lived here. #
@Metroknow re: drifting/donuts, it doesn’t help that I was driving our Subaru WRX, which is just MADE for that kind of stuff. in reply to Metroknow #
LOL @ the iPhone Google Mobile app’s release notes for the new version: “Bug fixes. Enhanced version number.” #
@ahockley You mean the 2004 ice storm? I don’t remember if school was closed then. My oldest was a year old at the time. in reply to ahockley #
OH @rachelbancroft: “Now I know why my mother rejoiced when summer break was over.” #
Wow. It’s still 34F outside. Good. Melt baby melt! #pdxtst #
@verso can you afford the MBP? Go for it. You won’t be disappointed. mine is the best computer I’ve ever used, hands down. in reply to verso #
@verso If cost is an object, the MacBook has everything but Firewire, Expresscard, and highend graphics. Also an excellent choice. in reply to verso #
@verso Can you live with the smaller 1280×700 or whatever resolution on the 13″? in reply to verso #
@verso Also, only the more expensive 13″ MacBook has a backlit keyboard. in reply to verso #
@verso Sounds like you’re decided. Get the 13″ MacBook, and if it drives you crazy, sell it and buy the 15″. in reply to verso #
@verso The MBP is the one I’d go for. I love mine (older). DO EET! in reply to verso #

It’s 12 degrees F, school is cancelled for the second day, and I’m working from home again. Roads are a solid sheet of ice. #pdxtst #
Portland is just not equipped to deal with snow and ice. A fleet of plows and sanders cost too much for the one time a year they’re needed. #
The streets around my house haven’t seen a plow or even a sander since this started. Hence, the roads are an ice rink, and we don’t go out. #
@akarlin I live in Aloha/Beaverton/Hillsboro. It’s all just one big west of Portland ‘burb. in reply to akarlin #
@jltitus Cabin fever definitely an issue over here, too. Hoping for a thaw just so we can venture out of the house! in reply to jltitus #
Sun has thawed things a bit, and we’re stir crazy enough to risk an outing. The sun actually melted most of the stuff on our car. #pdxtst #
Main roads in Hillsboro aren’t too bad. TV Hwy is dry in the lanes. 209th wasn’t bad. Side streets are still nothing but ice though. #pdxtst #
Hey @KGW folks: someone named craigwalker.net borked your school closures page: http://tinyurl.com/5qkjwp #
@jschultz @Tersteeg I vote “death of the giant trade show”. Already happened to E3 and Comdex. I predict CES has 2 more years left. And IDF? in reply to jschultz #
@jschultz Yeah, I know IDF is Intel’s chance to train people and show off. It’s like if MacWorld were ONLY Apple, instead of an ecosystem. in reply to jschultz #
@jschultz Now that I think about it, Intel’s IDF is more like Apple’s WWDC. Intel doesn’t really have a MacWorld analogue. Maybe CES? in reply to jschultz #
Oh, Laural Porter. Did you really just report on the Burger King spray fragrance as if it were a real thing, and not a web marketing stunt? #
And before you all tell me that the Burger King perfume is real, I won’t believe it until I see it and smell it. #

Oh THERE’S the snow. Coming down hard in Aloha. Sticking already - prolly an inch on the ground. Only started falling half hour ago. #pdxtst #
@jschultz I was all prepared to make fun of this weenie “Arctic Blast” snowstorm, but this is actually pretty impressive. #pdxtst in reply to jschultz #
Snow still coming down hard in Aloha. Windy too. Dare I utter the B-word (blizzard)? Getting to and from church was interesting. #pdxtst #
That was one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done. Don’t take the garbage cans to the street in Crocs in 5″ of snow, K? #pdxtst #
We spent our snowy afternoon decorating the house/tree for Christmas. http://twitpic.com/szil #
Whoa, Microaoft released an iPhone app: Seadragon, their “gigapixel” image viewing software. Going to try it… http://tinyurl.com/5tn6qm #
@jmoriarty I know, right? But Seadragon is surprisingly cool. It’s like near infinite zoom. Try zooming in on the “By the Numbers” image. in reply to jmoriarty #
The Maps in Seadragon Mobile are also very cool. Will grab your location, let you zoom in close just like Google Earth, only way faster. #
@ahockley is it really dry in Vancouver? We’ve got more snow here than I can recall in ten years. My backyard: http://twitpic.com/t07p in reply to ahockley #
@ahockley Wow. Can’t believe Vancouver is dry. This is what my street looks like right now: http://twitpic.com/t0t9 in reply to ahockley #
@SarahCofer FeedBooks is like crack for your Kindle. Browse at dl directly from feedbooks.mobi, or get their “guide” book to browse catalog. in reply to SarahCofer #
@SarahCofer I don’t have a good organization scheme for books. I sort by newest, and delete judiciously when I’m done reading. in reply to SarahCofer #
@chrisorourke I think the Feedbooks site has a “random book” link, but if they don’t, they should. That’s a good idea. in reply to chrisorourke #
@chrisorourke You and me both. I have so many ideas that if I got paid for all of them, I’d be rich! in reply to chrisorourke #

Dreary rainy day. Meetings downtown. Wish I had an umbrella. Hey, that was almost haiku! #
Picked up Guitar Hero World Tour last night. A few songs - Livin on a Prayer, Eye of the Tiger, Hotel California - were worth it alone. #
@rachebancroft was mostly on vocals, and me on guitar, but we switched around. Vocals are hard! #
And our crappy old 27″ CRT TV just doesn’t cut it. So low res and fuzzy you can’t read the lyrics. Time to find $$ to upgrade it. #
One downtown meeting done, waiting to meet up now with @chrislogan at Stumptown. @portlandrain and @portlandsun battling for supremacy. #
At the ward Christmas party. Tired from staying up late playing GHWT. Can’t stop yawning… #
@pregeeth I got the whole band kit, drums included, though I haven’t even tried them yet. They’re big and solid, though! in reply to pregeeth #
@Jerry_Makare You’re right. Warble IS a great word. And you just wait until I bring it all to work someday. in reply to Jerry_Makare #
@protherj Believe it or not, I’ve never played Rock Band. Seen it, read a ton about it. Know it well intellectually, but no hands on exp yet in reply to protherj #

@pdxjdangel Rock Band 2 band kit isn’t out until 12/30 in reply to pdxjdangel #
My next tweet is going to be something kind of important to me, albeit corny and cheesy… #
Thank you all for listening to me x10000. You mean a lot more to me than you’d believe. You’re my friends, and I’m grateful for you all. #
Thanks to all for the kind 10K words. I AM just a sappy, orange-Croc-wearing goofus. But I love you guys! #
Got a new toy I’m playing with as we speak: a Flip Mino HD. REALLY impressive so far. I love that iMovie likes the videos. More to come… #
The Flip Mino HD is a winner so far. No special software needed, quality is great. Even their FlipShare software isn’t terrible. #
@rachelbancroft I bet you’ve changed more diapers than I have tweeted tweets. Not gonna challenge you there. Nuh uh! in reply to rachelbancroft #
@masonwest So far, the videos off of the Mino HD are a little over 1 MB per second. in reply to masonwest #
@verso Haven’t compared video quality to the Apitek yet. But on size/feel/build quality, the Flip blows the Apitek away. in reply to verso #
The backlight on the screen of our Aiptek Action HD went out, which is what prompted the acquisition of the Flip Mino HD. #
@brucesharpe Going to compare the sound on the Mino HD/Aiptek. So far, the mic seems strangely directional, biased to the person holding it. in reply to brucesharpe #
@brucesharpe FWIW, the audio from a Mino HD video shows as AAC, Mono, 44.100 KHz. Video is AVC, 1280×720. Surprised it’s not H.264. in reply to brucesharpe #
RT @projct: AVC is MPEG4 AVC, aka H.264 (thanks for correcting me, Michael! #
@WhiplashDesign I have not tried Twitterlator, but if I had to guess/bet, my money would be on Tweetie. in reply to WhiplashDesign #
@marusin That’s another think I like about the Mino HD - it sits flush and looks right at home plugged into my MBP USB port, too. in reply to marusin #

RT @jbernoff: Attention blogosphere: only 16% of consumers trust corporate blogs. New data released today. http://tinyurl.com/5qdlc2 #
@bikehugger Yeah, that graph was a little disheartening to the corp blogger in me. But the connected individual in me agrees 100%. in reply to bikehugger #
Uh oh. @billpearson and @jmoriarty caught my in my attempt to sabotage our early morning staff meeting’s calendar item in Outlook. Foiled! #
@verso The graph was “Do you trust these sources?” Only 16% (lowest on the graph) said they trust “company blogs”. Read @jbernoff’s analysis in reply to verso #
Regarding the “only 16% of people trust company blogs” thing, I say “Duh.” People trust people they know. So become “people they know”. #
Attention Kindle owners: Amazon has 9 free books you can download until Feb. 28. Go get them! http://tinyurl.com/62ttmn #
