Walking To Work: The Movie

I recently bought a $400 video camera and a $400 wireless mic for work and needed to test it out, so what better way than to use it for purely personal reasons, right? It's almost like getting paid to videoblog.

I'm always interested in seeing what daily life is like in other coujntries.

Joi Ito calls his new web video project Joi Ito TV. In this clip we see him interviewing some people atr this year's SXSW.
---
On a recent ABC News Video Podcast they call Rocketboom fake and themselves real.

The ABC News Video Podcast has no blog, no permalinks, and no place for comments.

They are on iTunes and have a podcast over there, but I'd like to go listen to a specific show with my browser.

Checking out the source of the XML file I can grab the URL of the episode I want:

I guess it depends on what your definition of real is.

Nice boop boop boop. Thanks for featuring Valdezatron Industries. The ship date on the Garfieldilizer is now June 20th, we had a minor setback with the wine cell.

[Rynaldo Papoy]

Hello my friend. Thank you very much to put my video in your vlog.

It's not difficult to say my name. You can say as "hee-naw-do". The last name was correct.

I will share your vlog with all my friends.

Thank you very much,

Rynaldo

Hi Phillip -
I'll look forward to seeing the Garfieldilizer!

Hi hee-naw-do!

[Rynaldo Papoy]

Hi my bro. Many friends of mine are commenting about your vlog. They are enjoying.

I have another site: www.youtube.com/user/rynaldopapoy, with videoclips directed by myself. The music is mine too.

Peace!

I remember seeing that fake news real news thing last month or so... I was really upset. Rocketboom has more interesting things to say than most regular news programs, but it's certainly not fake, it's just lower-fi.

God... I LOVE Valdezatron... It's the only arty vlog that I truly adore!
