My Excellent CERN Adventure: the video »

Live video chat: today! Here!

My live video live chat starts at 3:00 p.m. Mountain Time (21:00 UT) today (Sunday April 27). If you look below and see/hear me nattering away about black holes or UFOs, then you’re in. I urge you to go to the UStream page, though, so you can participate in the chat room. If you want to change your nickname there, type "/nick JoeRogan" (or whatever) in the text field.

See you there! Oh wait, no I won’t. But you’ll see me.

    The UStream service is almost intolerable. Both the audio and video are very choppy(I have DSL, too.). The chat window is too small and difficult to traverse.

    Great session Phil! I wish you’d change the chat, because for some reason it doesn’t work for me. I also wish you’d have an intermission or something, because I had to go to the bathroom but I didn’t want to miss anything :P

    Firefox doesn’t seem to like Ustream. It gave up minutes before you finished to broadcast, and it did not respond.

    I think there is conspiracy because everytime there is a video chat it is when I am working. :-)

    I must thank you for answering my questions. Especially the one concerning the sun consuming the Earth. Your answers are proving to be of great assistance to a project I’m working on.
