AALL 2008 Portland video finally posted online

By Jason

This week has been all about the upcoming AALL conference for me. It’s included meetings, projects, and extracurricular work. All of this is good, but it has been keeping me busy, and that’s way my blog posts this week are focused on the upcoming conference.

Today comes a small reward for all the hard work, we have released a new video on the AALL local arrangements committee blog. I’ll also embed it below.

Some people had started asking me if there were going to be any new videos. We actually taped some videos as early as February but had some technical difficulties. I ended up purchasing a personal FlipVideo camera for the video project. Scheduling difficulties caused delays also.

But earlier this week the gloomy weather broke, and on a beautiful day, Laurie Daley and I headed out to the Portland waterfront to shoot the video.

I should also note, that I decided to use a different video uploading service this time. In the past I used blip.tv for my videos. But I recently saw someone mention a service called Viddler. The nice thing about Viddler is that it allows people to comment on the videos. So if you notice those little dots on the video progress bar

You can hover over those dots to see comments people have left. I encourage people to leave comments on the video and give us feedback and ideas for future videos. For now, enjoy.
