I really enjoyed this.

I love this video - about “the siren song sizzle” and the rituals of a braai, the South African style BBQ that Darren’s family have introduced me to.

Labour Weekend looms and the possibilities are endless.  This morning it was torrentially raining when I woke up but an hour later the sun is shining and there could be a braai on the horizon…all we need are the saussies and we’re away!

YouTube - An anthropological introduction to YouTube 

On my ‘to watch’ list - presented to the Library of Congress a few months ago.

I have been watching the questions like the one above submitted through the Election 08 channel with great interest since the announcement of the arrangement between YouTube and TVNZ.  They seem for the most part to be eloquent and fairly well produced, and although the submissions are 95% male it is early days yet…!

I know the haters are having their say, but I think this is a fantastic idea and a step in the right direction towards digital democracy. After all, it’s UGC done right when it starts to feel like an election is taking a truly democratic, every-voice-is-heard stance. 

Let’s just hope the candidates don’t let us all down on the 14th…probably the first time that I’ll be watching a live broadcast on TV for ages!

This video makes me want to make videos.  Inspiring and amazing!
