Its been like 3 weeks since I've posted! Whoops! So what have I been working on? I've edited 4 podcasts: Burka Ban Signifies Shift in Europe Taiwan’s Tricky Sticky Status Sino Sniping Has International Impacts Iran: the State Built on Hate And now Vimeo has a mobile site where you can view our Plaidcasts on the iPhone/iPod Touch. To make sure our videos can been seen I have to encode them with

So as you might know already this past week the Plaid Avenger has recorded a 3 part series on Haiti - Why Does Haiti Suck? Part 1: Bloody Birth Why Does Haiti Suck? Part 2: Problems with Peoples Why Does Haiti Suck? Part 3: The Political Repercussions of part 1&2 I edit all of the Plaidcasts and managed to get them within 12 hour of recording. We use the same camera for the VT lectures for the

Alright! So now every world leader that is on PlaidAvenger.com now has a twitter account. I am currently working on them all following each other and have at least one tweet for each of them. Here are all the names (64 and counting) and links to their twitter account. If you want to follow all of them the best bet is to go to Barack Obamas twitter and click on following and follow through there.

So I am still working on creating Twitter account for all world leaders listed on the PlaidAvenger.com. I finished down to Nelson Mandela (Plaid_Mandela) and now have 12 more to go. I hope to finish them tonight and then have them all follow each other. Then the fun begins and we have to start updating them! Hopefully we can get some students this spring or dedicated alumni to help us out. I

So I've been having this issue with the video files I'm getting from our new camera: a Panasonic HMC150. We used to use a Canon HV30 for the Plaidcasts, but now that I'm also recording lecture material to be used in John Boyer's World Regions class, we needed a better camera. Using Final Cuts Log and Capture I encoded the AVCHD files to ProRes. The process results in huge files (about a 1gb per

Decided I really needed to start a blog about my life and mostly the happenings of PlaidAvenger.com. Friend and plaid artist Klaus set me up here on blogger with my sweet banner and everything! So what have I been up to? Recently I have been working on creating Twitter accounts for all of the world leaders (64 currently) that we have on the website. The plan it to have these feeds on each world
