As I would have prob­ably watched this on Australia’s ABC as a young un’, I now under­stand why I am a geek.

Video cam­era, stream up, people watch your life. Obvi­ously, this mech­an­ism of pub­lish­ing is old as the inter­net itself — but with band­width increas­ing and alpha-geeks / rock-stars emer­ging in recent years — we are see­ing the new world being born.

The ini­tial years of large com­pany sponsored video-on-the web (think soap­flakes spon­sors in the 1950s) was fol­lowed by soap operas on You­Tube (think LonelyGirl15) to real­ity TV of Justin.tv (think Sur­vivor, without the dra­matic editing)

Insert 3D worlds of WoW, Second­Life and the like — we are see­ing Snow Crash and True Names appear before our eyes.

How long before thegeekstories.com is a live-to-web experience?

Not all the video I cap­tured today will be used On10.net

So, rather than dis­card the bits: I’ve uploaded them to YouTube.

Fol­low the tag “Bar­CampSydney” or just look at this playlist.

My favour­ite: Geeks in Star­tups are Hot

fixed playl­ist URL, thanks mountainash

Dr. Temple Gradin The Woman Who Thinks like a Cow. Just being shown on Australia’s SBS: but also on Google Video.

On10.net.

Microsoft on design; but more than sli­cing and dicing Pho­toshop. The big kahuna/picture. More than what it looks ini­tially too.

I am an avid watcher of Google’s EngEd videos (eg: Grid-based Integ­rated Bioin­form­at­ics Sys­tems for High Through­put), and Microsoft’s Channel9 videos (eg: Model driven devel­op­ment in Dynam­ics AX); these provide a visual per­spect­ive on from people who are involved in stuff you may not ever need to know about. But learn­ing is good.

Now wait­ing for Chan­nel 11 that goes up to 11.

Looks like a loss for the AU world as Amber MacAr­thur is leav­ing Call For Help (which she is a co-host with Leo Laporte) for some obscure Cana­dian TV chan­nel. (as seen 6.30pm on the Fox­tel How To Chan­nel).
