What is (Web)blogging? I realize this is sort of a rhetorical question when posted here, but read the article. Pass it along to decision makers. mstechtoday.com What is Blogging (Robert):  —  Blogging is webpage done is reverse chronological order.  Can be done by a single person, or a group of people - can be argued.  —  Blogging got hot: easy to publish, discoverability, easy to see others linking to you, categorized, and syndication.

Dept. of Back to the Lab. I saw this in Tomalak's Realm and thought, great, it's about time somebody put an iPod-type drive into a camcorder. But reading the review brought me back to reality. The headline must have been written by someone from JVC. In short, these camcorders would be ok for consumer use, but they complicate editing and the quality is not up to professional standards. Still, it's nice to know somebody is thinking in the right direction. NY Times: Aha! Video Straight to a Computer. The "Aha!" moment came when JVC looked at the iPod. Why, JVC wondered, are we still recording onto tapes and discs, if we can record directly onto a tiny little hard drive like the iPod's? The camcorder could hold hours and hours of video, and you'd never have to buy another tape or specialized blank DVD. [Tomalak's Realm] 2:28:11 PM
