Journey Multimedia

Last weekend my wife Tammi and I carved pumpkins with Brent (http://www.variantstudios.com) and his wife Meghan. My pumpkin - on the left is the Journey Multimedia logo carved on the front of the pumpkin.

Testing out the simple feed module, finding it to be a bit tedious. Yikes! http://www.yahoo.com

This is a funky new online broadcasting system. The web-based stream controller allows you to stream a playlist of pre-programmed content. When you are ready to go live you can switch the video in real time to a webcam or other video device to broadcast to your audience.

In case you have been living in a cave and haven't heard about the switch to Digital TV in 2009, here is what you need to know: All of the analog, over-air television broadcasts are already being switched over to a digital over-air broadcast and in February 2009 the analog signal will be shut off.

So, before I get into why this sucks and what this is going to do to the future of the internet, here is the official email that I got today:

Hey everyone, just for you I have enabled you to view this amazing feed of Russian television for absolutely free!

Trying out this new web application called Photosynth - it's a microsoft app, so I am pretty sure that it requires their little plugin to be installed on your browser. Despite what I think about their pluggin (ugh) you should really check this interactive 3d picture thingy - it's amazing and has amazing potential.

After working hard in Houston I flew home to catch the Block Party - which is run and hosted by the people of Atlas (http://www.whatisatlas.com). The party was a total success - hundreds of people showed up (probably thousands) to see 36 bands on 4 stages.

The Block Party was compared by some to the Greeley Stampede - the only other event in Greeley. I have attached lots of pictures.

I recently did a short stint in Houston (very short) working with a company out of Chicago called Church Solutions Group (CSG). CSG was finishing up a major lighting/video/sound installation at a church called Houston First Baptist. The church auditorium was built in the 70's and this was the first time that it had been overhauled.
