Lecture notes+video for Hanno's Projects

Hanno

Hi,
I've been a bit busy so haven't really posted much- hoping to change that with some video tutorials on how to get the most from PropScope, ViewPort, 12Blocks, and TBot- similar in style to http://www.khanacademy.org/

In the mean time- here's an awesome collection of notes and videos from a presentation I gave in California earlier this year:

Thanks Jef for the write-up!

Any interest in video tutorials- or what do you prefer?

YES!!! Please make some demo videos for both Viewport and the PROPSCOPE. I use viewport the most and know it can do much more than I am using for (plotting variables). I picked up the prop scope at UPEC and used it once or twice but not having a lot of experience with scopes, some good tutorials would be very helpful.

Hi Chris,

I think we're really undergoing a rapid change (the other side of the tipping point) with videos becoming a primary tool for convincing us why to buy in to a particular brand/device/concept.

In case you missed this big news late last week, Ytinstant lets you just type in a few letters in order to start watching something relevant...

This is addictive and is going to have a big impact. Unfortunately "12blocks" comes up with basketball, but "p8x32a" works... but we can fix that

So any video tutorials / demos - yes please.

Thanks Tubular for the cool link! I use a Western Digital media extender to watch tv- I love how YouTube let's me inspire my kids with:
- space shuttle launches
- jets taking off
- thousands of educational videos- see also http://khanacademy.org

I've also got them hooked on music videos from the 80's!

Hooked on the 80's, lol. I must admit we've been getting unexpected mileage out of "Abba Gold" with my kids.

That Khan academy is quite a site. I had a look after you mentioned it somewhere else, and am very impressed. I note they even have lectures on bailout economics.

Regarding YTinstant, the story of the guy who invented it as a bet with a mate, went to sleep and woke up to all sorts of media (and job) offers, makes for good reading - http://www.feross.org/youtube-instant-media-frenzy/

Hope the tremors have settled down
