This is a playlist of videos recorded from the OC WordPress Meetup in Huntington Beach California on 6/27/2011.

OC WordPress on Facebook (closed group, ask for an invite)
Tweets during OC WordPress using the #ocwp hashtag
A great round up from Dave Cole regarding this particular meeting.

Here are a few things I’d like to do a bit different next time:

Install CamTwist on the presentation computer to screen grab and and have it stream the screen to uStream as a secondary camera
Use a tripod instead of a shreader and a tupperware container (I didn’t bring mine from home since I left straight from work to the meeting)
Have reliable 4G service or be able to use the bandwidth from the office (we didn’t want to interrupt the remote webinar demo session that was going on, CLEAR Wireless signal was faint 4G in the building)
Have a mic at the podium feeding into my computer
Not end up with 3 or 4 files as an end result from youtube / ustream. The stream kept dieing due to lack of bandwidth.
Optimize the page that we’re streaming from, TweetChat as an embed worked great and kept everyone talking over twitter instead of in 2 separate places (uStream Chat and Twitter)
Use Flash Media Encoder instead of the in browser flash encoder
Use a Mac instead of my work Windows PC
As a fun project I’m working on using iTitle to capture and use the tweets during the meetup as closed captioning on the Youtube videos in this playlist. I captured these tweets in a google spreadsheet that can be used as the source in iTitle but I’m having some problems doing so. If you can figure it out let me know 🙂 Transcript of OCWP-2011-06-27 – Google Doc
Turn off Twitter app on Facebook so I dont piss off my friends on Facebook with me rambling on and on about “some video stream he’s doing at some geeky meetup.. you know Jason and his geeky stuff”
Grab a beer after at House of Brews (and give better instructions to the gentleman that asked me how to get there)

What tools I use produce & promote WPwatercooler

I've been thinking about the video production stack I use for recording, streaming, transcribing, subtitling, repurposing, and promoting WPwatercooler on social media. I thought I'd share what I'm using. If you've used something different, I'd love to know what you

Apple Vision Pro Demo - my thoughts

Today I did a demo of the Apple Vision Pro at the local Apple Store and wanted to share my thoughts. I wear glasses and was told to bring them to the demo so they could pull the prescriptions off of them and then using that information can get the

Kitchen Stove Hood Makeover

Another project in my kitchen renovation is to change up our stove hood instead of buying a $600 one I’m going to fix up our old one. With the hood removed I stripped down, cleaned, sanded and primed the hood to get it ready for paint. I’m going

Transforming Our Kitchen: From Outdated to Outstanding

I’ve been working on our latest home improvement adventure. We've taken a big leap in transforming our kitchen, and I can't wait to share the progress with you all. We've recently converted our stove top to a sleek gas range and said goodbye
