Video live chat: Sunday at 3:00 MT

Hey folks-

I’ll be doing another video live chat this weekend, at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time (21:00 UT) on Sunday, April 27.

You have options on how to do this. I have embedded a viewer below, so just come back to this blog post on Sunday at the right time, and you’ll hear me blabbing away when it starts. A better way, though, is to go directly to my chat page on UStream.tv. If you go there you can also enter the chat room and participate directly!

I tested this the other day and things seem to be working, so hopefully the software won’t fall apart like last time.

I hope you do more than Chris Pirillo. Often, he just sits in his captain’s chair and…well who knows what he does.

Well, Chris has the camera on all the time. So you see him working and doing things. I only have a one hour chat, specifically to answer comments and questions from the viewers. So the formats are different.

I can also record some of what I say, if someone asks a good question I can answer in a three minute rant. Then I can post it on YouTube. I’ve done this before and it works pretty well.

A lot of my posts are getting deleted. What did *I* do?

Busy weekend! I’m headed out to the UVa Fan Mountain Open House in a little while! Phil’s old stomping grounds!

Dammit. Figures you’d have it the one Sunday in almost 3 months that I’m actually committed to another event. Ah well, there’s always next time. Right…?
