The Friday Special: Pre-YouTube Video
Back in the Dark Ages of 1989 I was using a shoulder-mounted Panasonic VHS camcorder to shoot videotape.
A couple of my music and video tests from that period came back to life this week on YouTube...
The original tapes were transferred from the camera to some combination of VHS and 8mm VCR's, where the music was dubbed to it.
The resulting tape sat on various bookshelves until 2004, when the video was transferred to DVD and the original tape was trashed.
This week, I pulled the video/data from the DVD (.mkv files) and edited them in Windows Live Movie Maker to create the .wmv files that were uploaded to YouTube.

The Friday Special: Lotsa Links
Here are links to some interesting items I've seen in the past week or so...
New York Times - Cloud Computing as a Threat to Older Tech Companies
“Hewlett-Packard will be challenged. Microsoft, Intel, SAP, RIM, Oracle, Cisco, Dell – they are all facing the next transition, competing to be around in 2020. At least a third will fade away.”
Boston.Com/AP - Study Confirms Many of Us Go Online for No Reason
The report from the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project found that on any given day, 53 percent of 18 to 29 year-olds go online just to have fun or pass time.
That should explain all those kitten videos.
Twitter/Business Guru Tom Peters
From @tom_peters:
If you need a performance appraisal to tell you how well you're doing--then you're not doing very well!
NY Times - Distracted? It's Time to Hit The Reset Button
“Although there are always exceptions to the rule,” he says, “the research shows that for the average worker in the workplace, multitasking while trying to solve a complex problem is a very bad strategy.”
