19 comments Latest by karl
The folks at Collaboration Loop have posted videos of some of the presentations at the Collaborative Technologies Conference earlier this week in Boston. You can watch my talk if you’re interested. I really enjoyed Matthew Glotzbach’s talk. Matthew is the head of Enterprise Products at Google. Sharp guy. I didn’t get to see John Seely Brown’s talk but I heard it was a good one (and thanks to Collaboration Loop we can all see it now).

Wonderful speech, Jason. I wish I had that level of public speaking.

Thanks guys, that’s kind of you.

Since the video is WMV, they use an ActiveX player, and I’m running Linux so I opened up the source, sought the video reference, and am downloading it now.
Sifting through their source code made me shiver in disgust. Their markup is 10 years old and breaks every single design rule web standards promote these days. Too bad. Or is consistent with WMV as a video format? (okay, this is *slightly* a troll)
Can’t wait for the downloads to be done, and catch your talk, though! :-)

Hi All,
I am on Intel-Mac Mini, what do i need to watch these?
Thanks

Windows Media Player from Microsoft.com. It actually runs fine on the intel-macs.

I use a ff extension called Download Embedded http://www.aeruder.net/software/extensions/extensionlist.html (I am not associated with the author of the extension in any way, this is not an ad).
It makes it really easy to download flash, wmv or any files embedded on a page. I used it to download these vids because they would not play in my browser.
Good luck.

The Download Embedded extension is great. Damn fine app. Thanks

I know why jason is so good at public speaking: He took the Steve Jobs public speaking course. (1) No podium. (2) Pace around. (3) Black shirt/black background. (4) Have fun. (5) Good content.
Great talk jason, thanks for sharing “less” of your stuff with the us.
Nick Adam Carlson 23 Jun 06
Yeah, I thought Jason was pacing around a bit. But then I realized in the Q&A session that those lights on him were friggin bright! So I can see why he didn’t stare directly in that direction for any lengthy period of time.

“Windows Media Player from Microsoft.com. It actually runs fine on the intel-macs.”
How did you get this to work? I can never watch wmv’s on my intel mac. Flip4Mac isn’t out yet for us and Windows Media doesn’t work.
Jack Shedd 23 Jun 06
I installed it?
Works fine in Safari on my MacBook.

Jason: You speak here about the dangers of interruption, how your office is set up etc…. but the snippets from your campfire conversation that you blog suggest that you guys chat quite a bit while at work. Am I missing something, how do you keep the campfire from becoming disruptive?

Great presentation Jason. Very informative and well delivered.
However the video doesn’t show (what seems to be) your slides? Is there a way we can access these slides?
JF 26 Jun 06
Thanks Jon. Here are the slides.

This video is great. JF, you’re a natural! It must take a ton of trust in each other to work this way — seems the way to go to me. Very smart.
Thank you for sharing.

The *is* an intel/mac version of flip4mac, you just need to dig around for it. Otherwise, use the old version of media player and force it to run using rosetta.
