OH BABY! JAMESPOD NOV. 25, 2007

2007-11-27T00:09:00.001-06:00

Everyone in the city and province where James lives is a fan of the local professional sports team: The Roughriders of the Canadian Football League (CFL.) They've only won two championships in nearly one hundred years. The first time was the year James was born. The second time was in 1989 where a downtown-wide street party erupted and he met his future wife.

But the third championship (Grey Cup) came on Nov. 25, 2007. However, the birth of his second child threw a monkey wrench into his plans on watching the big game with his wife, who is also a life-long fan.

This edition of JamesPod is a brief recording of the drive home from the hospital on this remarkable day.

For more information, read the newspaper article about James and family being such fans and having to miss the big game due to labour. (link may go dead after a few days.)

JamesPod 49 - Racism in Regina

As online viewing booms, the amateurs give way to big media

2006-12-04T22:33:00.001-06:00

Whenever a new technology makes personal expression easier -- from desktop publishing in the 1980s to video sharing in 2006 -- denizens of Silicon Valley leap to the same conclusion: Finally, amateurs will triumph over those self-satisfied professionals, kicking aside the titans of the publishing industry/music industry/movie industry/TV industry.

The latest wave of innovation involves Web sites that simplify the process of editing and uploading video, making it globally accessible. Suddenly, anyone can become a broadcaster for free -- and no FCC license is required. YouTube, which now shows 100 million videos a day, has been at the forefront of this wave and was recently acquired by Google for $1.65 billion. But there are dozens of others, most of them headquartered in the Bay Area, and most of them less than two years old. (YouTube didn't launch until May 2005.)

Since the video publishing revolution began last year, much of the content that has been published and viewed on the Internet has been produced by amateurs: Chinese teens lip-syncing to the Backstreet Boys, motivational speaker Judson Laipply dancing to a medley of pop songs, an angry senior citizen scolding a fellow passenger on a Hong Kong bus, skateboard tricks gone awry, and kitties doing adorable things -- like prancing across a piano keyboard.

But as movie studios, advertisers and television networks make more of their content available online, viewers' habits may be starting to shift. If Web video was dominated by citizens with camcorders in 2005 and 2006, the pendulum in the coming year will likely swing toward professional content producers and big media companies.
