Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us By mwesch Final version now available! http://youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g http://mediatedcultures.net Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes. This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one more final draft. Please leave comments on what could be changed or improved, or what needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be notified when the revision is released. UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti where you can actually write your comments into the video itself. It is an exciting experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out at http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add your voice! Transcripts are now available as well: http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?... A couple of people have noted that the statement, "XML was created to do just that" (separate form from content) is misleading because CSS enables the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in the next draft. My statement on XML is based on the following from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it is important to understand why it was created. XML was created so that richly structured documents could be used over the web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for this purpose. HTML, as we've already discussed, comes bound with a set of semantics and does not provide arbitrary structure." Thank you all for the comments. With your help the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully free of factual errors. A higher quality version is available for download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd Please note that this is the second draft and the final version will not be available until late February after I review all comments and revise the video. Please return for a new download link at that time. The song is "There's Nothing Impossible" by Deus, available for free at http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/103/ Deus offers music under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license, yet one more example of the interlinking of people sharing and collaborating this video is attempting to illustrate.

The Machine is Us/ing Us (Final Version) By mwesch "Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes. http://mediatedcultures.net This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007. I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part). Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues. Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download: Windows Media File (55 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?2wnmpy2ibz1 Quicktime File (96 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?axhbjnmw4yn Mojiti Version (for comments, translations, etc.): http://mojiti.com/kan/2743/5984 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything. I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking. The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

Lucy in East Africa at 3.2 (Musical Study Guide) By Siamangutan As a teaching assistant, I made this video to help students studying australopith(ecine)s try to keep straight some of the key points to know. The general point of view is that of an Australopithecus afarensis, like Lucy, and the dates referenced are in millions of years. I just want to mention a couple other things: 1. If somehow you don't know the song, it's the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and it's what the A. afarensis specimen Lucy was named after when she was discovered by Don Johanson in the 1970s. So it seemed appropriate to make up my own lame lyrics to the song, but I encourage anyone trying to study anything to make up their own songs. It makes for an excellent mnemonic device, and just the act of working on it helps cement the info in your head. 2. The information used in said lame lyrics is accurate as far as what my particular university teaches in the introductory human evolution class, so it's pretty basic. And the images, of course, are in many cases artistic reconstructions that I included because I think it's fascinating to imagine what they'd have looked and acted like. (Also, I cheated on the foramen magnum picture because I couldn't find an australopith one -- it's a modern human, but the australopithecine foramen magnum is centered enough to indicate bipedality.) 3. As a science/human evolution-related post, I cringe a little bit at the thought of the creationism vs. evolution sniping that could happen. I've watched enough videos on YouTube to know that even the most irrelevant videos can end up having such mud-slinging battles in the comments. Please don't use that kind of aggression here. Obviously, I personally believe that evolution was and is happening, but I respect other points of view and I'll never question anyone's intelligence for disagreeing with me. Additionally - in my mind, there is no reason faith and science can't get along, yet I see so many debates where people choose sides. There is no reason you must be forced to choose a side! If that's what you honestly deeply believe, then okay, but sometimes I think people on both "sides" really need to work on thinking for themselves. 4. Finally, this is my first ever attempt at using Movie Maker and creating what amounts to a glorified slide show, so apologies if it doesn't meet the quality standards of all the kids who can use technology like MacGyver uses duct tape and paper clips. :) (Ask your parents.) Good luck!
