I have several (dozen) blog posts brewing (distilling, fermenting, cooking), but this isn’t one of them. It’s merely some links and embedding experiments coming out of last night’s NMS final projects festival. Ustream.tv was new to me–I learned about it at about 2 p.m. yesterday nearly simultaneously from Catherine, Vidya, and Alan via a timely tweet. A similar timely tweet elicited this warm and wonderful blog post from Chris Lott.

Looks like I can’t embed more than one thing at a time–not that I’ve tried that before. So I can’t embed the plain chat viewer or “off the air” window for the “show.” Andy has an example of the latter here.

Next, the URL for the “show” (in Ustream lingo):

Next, the URL for the archived recording:

Next, the embedded viewer for the archived recording:

I don’t think the chat was recorded, alas. I did notice during the recording that the chat window was scrollable for some time, then scrollable no longer. I suppose we overflowed the allotted space, but I don’t really know.

As the author (or initiator) of last night’s recording, I’m also able to download the 0.5GB Flash video file but for some reason I can’t get it open in Flash MX 2004. Experiments continue.

Can’t shake the weird feeling we just made the jump into hyperspace. Many steps to get there, and a jump at the end. Each step was fun.

Then the jump crowds the sky with stars.
