Upload HD Video to Vimeo & Teched-Out Esquire North NY Appartment

I just tested out embeding the Vimeo player in this post, but it didn’t work. I really dig this fun video I found on their site from Dala Verdugo — a simple understanding of the difference between standard and HD video. I will try uploading to Vimeo my Esquire Note in HD as soon as it’s edited.

Last month, I shot some HD video the before the opening of Esquire North, Esquire magazine’s ultimate New York bachelor apartment in Harlem on the tree-lined north edge of Central Park. I was there for some TV and radio efforts for Intel, who teamed up with Esquire to deck out the pad with the latest computer technologies — from Intel Core 2 Quad-powered gaming PCs by Dell, to ultra mobile devices and an Intel-Viiv powered entertainment system by Nevius (connected to DirecTV boxes) that could send five different HD movies to five different rooms at the same time. Here’s the video we did from the event with gaming pro Marc Saltzman. There will be an online tour of the apartment similar to last year’s enormous Esquire House 360 in Beverly Hills, California.

Scoble Talks with Six Apart

I missed the opportunity to visit with Six Apart during the Intel Developer Forum in September. They did participate in IDF’s Day Zero briefing with Intel Capital, when Intel’s investment group talked bout strategically supporting Web 2.0 companies like Six Apart.

Measuring Social Media: No-Cost Tracking Tools That Work

I got to see Katie Delahaye Paine speak at the Cisco and SPP Social Media Summit earlier this year. She was GREAT!! So energetic. So definitive and informative. I gotta revisit her blog more often, as she shares insights and tips all the time.
