Tomorrow in London: Unhindered by Monkey River Town!

The Rosetta Stone!

CoryQ of the venerable Monkey River Town, and also a source of photographs strange and wondrous on Flickr, graduated from UMM nearly a decade ago. Among his many accomplishments at Morris was his many and varied contributions to the campus radio station (KUMM). I’ve only seen Cory once since he graduated, despite the fact that he lives and works in the Twin Cities, just three hours down the road.

So instead, we’re going to meet over here, in London.

Tomorrow.

At noon.

In the British Museum.

At the Rosetta Stone, one of the most amazing artifacts in human history.

Kind of like Cory. (I’ll spare you the stories.)

Wow.

It’s so cool that I’ll get to see Cory and wife again, and in the British Museum to boot! Be prepared for too many pictures…

Video Podcast #2 – University, Apartment, Colchester

Huzzah! One of the advantages of having internet at home is that I could (more easily) upload the second in our bizarre and on-going serious of video podcast/slide show thingies. This has three major sections, featuring the University of Essex, in and around our new apartment, and Colchester. It has been (correctly) pointed out that I talk too much, so I think we may leave me out of the narration next time :-).

I wasn’t very happy with the compression last time, so I played with generating a higher quality file. The quality definitely is improved, but it takes longer to download and play as a consequence. I also had trouble uploading the larger file to YouTube, so I switched to Google Videos. Google’s software was much easier to use, and actually worked; YouTube, however, clearly has quite a lot more features (many useful) once you have the video uploaded. I also generated a 640×480 version that’s much nicer (if even bigger), but when I uploaded that Google clearly resized it on me because it still displays at 320×240. I might just put the larger one up on our web site and see how that goes.
