I thought of doing a personal videoblog a long time ago, and I figured that I often give people too much credit just for trying, so I thought of calling it "Mr. A for Effort". Check it out.

"The simplest solution is always farthest from where you're standing."

If you started walking in the wrong direction.
We've been researching things for Petentials for the last few days, and then as soon as I sit down today, it hits me in the face, or more like sneaks out of my back pocket. It's so simple, but I didn't see it until I thought I had exhausted all other options.
Funny.

I wonder how easy it is to blog from my new toy... The "killer apps" on this thing are really Skype, IM and musc/movies, but the web browsing was very necessary. Without it, something would be missing. The keys are relly too small for anything more than a quick text, but cest la vie.
I have to push <func> + enter to make a new line... who knew? You also learn the valuue of punctuation and the 102-key qwerty keyboard when you have them taken from you!

Somebody was surfing the boards and user profiles over at Meetup.com looking for go-getters to invite to a seminar about 'monopoly' this weekend in Orlando. The link in my email pointed to a page on Maxcast.com.
Here's the deal: in order to use this revolutionary industry-changing service you have to install a plugin... WRONG! Seriously, the second I see plugin, you had better have "Britney's Hoo-Ha" (to quote Alex Rudloff) on the other end if I am going to install something. Plugins slow down my browser, I don't like too many. USE FLASH PLAYER like everyone else.
You can't even watch the demo without installing the plugin! No flash, no quicktime, no WMV, not even RealPlayer! Even crappy realplayer would be better than a proprietary maxcast player.
Here's a reason to like HelloWorld, a service my friend Jason is selling. It works with your existing hardware and software. I haven't used it, but sometime soon I will be posting a Scoble-style video I recorded with Jason demonstrating the service. This is going on Charlie and Ryan's someday-to-be-announced Inside Orlando video show. The show definitely has a Scoble feel to it, but instead of Silicon Valley, we are going all Central Florida and CFL expats (some people started out here but moved on).
Is that officially too many shows? Maybe. Charlie was also telling me about possibly doing a real estate show with Bill Ferrante from Florida Creatives... I bet John Rife would be on top of that too. Ah well, you all probably stopped reading this post long ago.
I didn't install that plugin, and I never plan to either.

Holy crap, kids. You know how to Happy Hour.
Most of these updates and things will be posted to the FloridaCreatives.com site, because I make a web page for everything. If I sneeze, I buy a domain name for that too.
Still, we had easily 40 people show up to the event last night, with lots of bloggers throwing in their two cents.
I got some video last night that I will hopefully be purposing to Orlando Scene TV. I am still trying to put together the first episode in my head... it always comes out like Rocketboom.
I hope to see all those people and more next month after Film Slam on the 11th.

From Boing Boing:
Making Fiends is Amy Winfrey's hilarious and grim web-toon, which has just been picked up by Nickelodeon for TV. The premise is simple: Charlotte is a polyanna schoolgirl, while Vendetta is her savage mad scientist classmate who terrorizes the school by "making fiends" -- producing huge, terrible monsters. Charlotte makes friends, Vendetta makes fiends. It's great emo-toonery, a la Lenore, with a fantastic, dark visual style.

(Thanks, Martin!)
Hooray Amy Winfrey! She started out as an art school grad student with a penchant for muffins. Now, the sky's the limit. I think this may be the start of the next generation of mainstream kid's entertainment -- Flash cartoons, cheaply produced (web quality) but still entertaining and of high quality on the content end. I wonder if they'll change anything at all... Making Fiends is one of the best web shows around.

The Student of the Game, our pro football podcast, passed 100 subscibers today.
This may be a small milestone for most bloggers or podasters, but you have to remember, we live in Orlando, people! Nobody in this town uses RSS, subscribes to podcasts or otherwise does anything "Web 2.0" worthy!
Notice how 40% of these subscribers are via Feedburner Email, and 5 (total) are from iTunes. Also notice that stupid Google only counts as a single hit, so we have no way of knowing if we actually passed 100 a week ago! Damn it to hell!
Still, props to Feedburner for making a kickass stats package that lets me see this kind of stuff.
How many subscribers do you have, and how many of them are using technology that was invented in the 1970's (email)?

Albeit depressing in subject matter and often with the visuals (and at times VERY strong), I really have to hand it to the team of people who made this movie. Here are a few thoughts:
If you can't tell, this movie is on my Oscar List along with The Fountain (trailer). Clive Owen has proven once again that he is a world-class badass, and Cuarón is a badass director.
