Hi Bill! First of all I must thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I really appreciate it when people take the time out of their day to leave some thoughts or just to say hello.

It's been a month and some change since NewTeeVee so I might be a little foggy on the details of what Mr Verklin said. You're right that the cable industry is where the big bucks are being spent... right now. But I can tell you as someone who worked in cable television, that is a changing statistic. The old model cable industry just doesn't have the same power it had in the past. Part of that is because the demographic is changing and the industry isn't able to change with it. I remember 8 or so years ago when talk was of how the cable box was going to be the gold mine of information for advertisers. Cable subscribers viewing habits would lead to understanding their deepest consumer wants and desires. On top of that the expectation was that subscribers would be ok with that box collecting "personal data". That was years ago. Mr Verklin was still talking about the same thing. That's all, no innovation. Nothing having to do with "New" TV. It was a bunch of the same stuff all over again.

On the flip side, the interactivity and user experience coming at us through new technologies is exciting & invigorating. I don't think new media is going to overtake cable next year or 2 years... but it's closing the gap. As an audience we are expecting more, and we're getting it. What do you think? I know I live in a bubble a bit being in the San Francisco Bay Area, but I truly believe innovation will pull ahead.

What is your background Bill? Do you work in broadcast? Regardless, it's something that effects us all in some way or another. I'm curious what will happen with the analog to digital conversion happing in a few days.. maybe nothing...

Again, great to hear from you, I appreciate the comment! --sukhjit

Hey, Sukhjit - new follower here, so far it seems you're covering many of the things I care about. Quick question - what about Verklin's segment did you think was delusional? I think his point is that US cable TV has in excess of 100x the (subscription and advertising) revenue of internet TV, and it's likely that it'll be many, many years (if ever) before internet TV closes that gap.

Oh, Tony, you book burner! I don't go anywhere without my trusty notebook which has notes from NeeTeeVee that says things like "the cable mafia is desperate, protect your horses."
And oh, Sukhjit, i have in my notes that we're supposed to buy the book, "Convergence Culture." Did you do that yet? I think it explains Transmedia. Ok, i smell a Christmas present!!

I'm gonna tell her you said that! How are you Tony? Thanks for stopping by. I'm actually very very very sad about the production value on this video, but I tried to make up for it by writing a good article....

so what I have is the Samsung SC-MX10 ...the video not so great. as you can see... the audio is amazing... so my demonstration it brings me to my point...

the Samsung SC-HMX20C ...it's FULL HD, the audio is the same as the SC-MX10 ...and it's not expensive. I've see if for about $650. For an HD camera that's a great price. But it lacks the option to hook up an external connection.

I just thought I'd share. You might want to wait until I buy one and see if it's a waste of money or not.

I'm bowing my head in shame after that video. Both audio and video were sad and wrong. BUT this is what I'm doing about it: http://tiny12.tv/FMWMC Now prepping my gear a little more seriously for future events.

Thanks for checking out my story my friend. Always a pleasure to see that you've stopped by!

Hey The Nerd Stalker is on sukhjit.me!!! I love that.

Yes, I still LOVE Heroes and Jesse Alexander. I blame my poor production for that interview on the fact that I was nervous to meet him. Isn't that silly?!

Hope you are well Adolfo!

sukhjit — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:02:15 -0000

@pogobrian Sukhjit is in full agreement!

Thank you thank you thank you Sean! Always nice to see that you've stopped by. I am with you... I don't mind things being less "produced" for vlogs... however I seem to have lost my production marbles with this one. = ) Regardless I'm glad you liked it. Thank you so much for leaving a comment.

Hi Ted. There was a workshop that I caught the end of about silverlight. It was interesting but I caught so little of it I don't really know enough to share. Sounds like you have some experience with the stuff. Can you tell me more about it? How are you BTW? I'm sorry I've been hard to get a hold of this week. It's been especially busy ... Hope things are well.

Hey Sukhjit, both the video and the text are very interesting. I've watched a couple of episodes of Heroes, but don't quite get it, but have friends who are really addicted to it.

Was there discussion about formats for the web, like Flash, Silverlight, Move or other??

Re: What I learned at NewTeeVee

sukhjit — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:02:19 -0000

I couldn't agree more. In fact I often thank new media outlets and social media for helping me find MY voice... In traditional media I wrote for others or read someone else's script. Here I get to do what I want and those people that are interested come check it out. I find it really rewarding.

Thanks for being comment #1!

Tina Fey is a star. She made the the last few weeks of the election into an event. Thank you so much for checking out my site and for leaving a comment Brian. It is always nice to see a message from you. Hope things are going well with your projects. I'd love an update when you have time.

No apologies necessary. This is guerilla tv and being a big fan of democracy now, I would take meat over flash any day. Thanks for taking us along. Looking forward to more from you!

i never knew there was text below the vid cause the vid takes up most of my 17" mbp laptop screen, way to overcome the audio issue you told me about with the text. I thought I was the only person left who liked Heroes.

Lol! That's what I tried to tell him when I said I was confused a lot lately. I still LOVE the show. I'm sorry the interview is so dark and so loud.. I hope is was still some what fun to watch. What are you up to these days? Let's hang out.
