Bonnaroo 365 Video

I usually try to catch Bonnaroo sets at AT&T’s blueroom, because they’re pretty good. But since it streams live, if you miss it, you miss out. Bonnaroo is starting to stream videos of previous sets from their own website, and I’m pretty happy about it. The Raconteurs set from ’08 is up, and there is supposed to be more on the way.

Vlogging

Recently I’ve been missing the show more than usual, so I went out looking for a new vlog to latch on to. And I didn’t find any. Most of the things that come up when I’m looking for vlogs are just internet videos. Meaning shows that could be anywhere, but happen to be on the internet. Some examples are Rocketboom, Ask a Ninja, and Robert Krampf’s Experiment of the Week. That doesn’t mean they’re bad, just not what I’m looking for.

So I went to askme, figuring someone had already asked something along those lines, but they hadn’t, so I did. Two responses. I got 80 when I was looking for Boring Books. Does no one watch vlogs anymore, or are there just no vlogs to watch?

It is worth noting that the suggestions that I got were good. ill doctrine is a vlog that seems to be about hiphop, but from what I’ve watched seems to be often about other things. And Brigitte Dale’s vlog is about as close as I think I’ll get to the show.

the show was the first vlog I ever followed, and I loved it. But I remember reading that it would take him hours each day to compose those few minute episodes. I’d imagine that’s why there aren’t more people vlogging. Someday I’ll give vlogging a shot, but that’s a long way from now. I need to have something worth doing first.

Robert Krampf Rules

Robert Krampf is awesome. I’m certain I’ve had a video or two of his in my linkroll before. He does this Experiment of the Week, where he makes a video of a cool science experiment every week, and posts them online. It seems that it is primarily sent out through a mailing list, but I don’t really care for mailing lists, even if they are for interesting things (why I unsubscribed from B3TA‘s newsletter).

Today I was browsing around Blip.tv, and I noticed he uploads his videos to blip! This is great, because blip automatically generates an RSS, iTunes, and even Miro (Democracy) feed for their shows. So now I can get the Experiment of the Week in Google Reader. I’m very happy, because I love this show. If you liked Bill Nye, you’ll love Robert Krampf. He’s the science teacher you wish you had.
