This video from Davos covers the current conversation in the USA SOPA Panel at Documented@Davos from Michelle Laird on Vimeo. Suggest this is worth watching as a guide for how things may go in the UK.

Phonic FM still relies on the Compact Disc (CD) and usb sticks etc. One day there will be seamless real time methods for presenters to upload from home. But meanwhile there may be some gaps. I have tried to find ways to upload songs from Otis etc but copyright is an issue. Seems ok through YouTube so you will ahve to click through or diveret to something else. Happy holidays

So far there is no video from last week when Billy Bragg visited Occupy Exeter at the Cathedral. So here arer a couiple of links from St PAuls, Tent City University. Next year there will be more connections, some through cut and paste in Photoshop.

My guess is that Prince Albert would now be on Soundcloud and a frequent visits to Berlin. But apparently it was Queen Charlotte who introduced the Christmas tree to the UK. Stan Hacking claimed last night that most of the audience had the wrong answer. I hope there will be more technology around the Royal Albert Memorial Museum. I did a talk with some display as part of the millenium exhibition

Not sure how this week will work out. I am in London on Thursday but this is also the day for the Wild Show on Phonic FM so I may pre record something or phone in. Or edit bits together in the future. Live radio is not what it was, mostly prerecorded or listened again anywaqy. I am interested in the idea of a university as part of the tents outside St Pauls and Exeter Cathedral. In Exeter there

So far not a lot of views for Dan Jarvis MP on YouTube but my plan is to stay near the front of the results for a search on Dan and Jarvis. Should work out even if we have to link to many examples of south west culture. Thanks for retweets @cllrmartin and wood5y from Bristol Wireless My next plan is to check out all the links he suggests, copied here in case Twitter replaces them with something

Shadow Culture Minister Dan Jarvis MP is soon to launch a report on culture and cultural industry in the regions. Yesterday he visited Animated Exeter and Sound Gallery and later the Watershed in Bristol. He was a guest on the Wild Show at Phonic FM, situated in the basement of the Exeter Phoenix, close to Sound Gallery. The Wild Show is presented by Chris Norton. I am often a guest and

I will keep video updates in this blog, even when there is not much tech involved. August Bank Holiday Monday now a while ago but editing takes time and my idea is to get more loaded in time for next year. YouTube is very slow to reach an audience but it gradually helps the events that repeat. Kouatchou was part of the Open Mic but met Spin 2 during the sound check. Two of them joined him for

This is possibly a suitable blog for this post. I don't want to start too many of them. Wifi is still not ready for video or at least phones are not likely to cope with the size of files. The cameras in phones are getting better but I am still using my very reliable Kodak Zi8 with a little card I take home to a desktop. Suppose a file is 150 to 300 megs. Is that in the limits of a phone contract?

I have done an advert for this event and there are more conenctions turning up. Samba Marcianas were in Coburg recently and there are two clips on YouTube. also Spin 2 have their own clips, better editing from the Globe. Stripey will not be in Heavitree this year. He is in Poland on tour. But here is a track from his CD. Details on YouTube. The Open Mic is still open but bookings are

The relevance of Heavitree Bank Holiday Monday for "wifi Exeter" could be the wider use of online video to promote and extend events. In essence the message is fairly easy to get over. August Bank Holiday Monday again, same place as last time. So in theory more complex messages are possible with less than a year to load the video ahead of the next occasion. #likeminds last year showed a Nokia

Spin 2 will be in Heavitree Pleasure Ground again this Bank Holiday Monday. I have posted another clip to YouTube. The quality is not HighDef but it is nine minutes long and still loads ok. Also an advert for the event on Bank Holiday Monday. There may be several cameras this year so we may swap enough for a better edit. Sound ok and this should continue.

I am shocked at the idea of a university without a bookshop. This may seem a bit strange after years of raving on about ebooks and wifi. But there is such a thing as balance. There could be more wifi and still something of a bookshop on the Exeter university campus. But on a recent visit I found that Exepose, the student newspaper that can also be found through exepose,com , continues a campaign

There is now enough wifi in Exeter to make a case for a map. I have started a Google doc with just the basics. Apple in Princesshay, Central Library and Phoenix. This is most of the original RGB loop. The cathedral area is less so I think. I have shown where the BT box was on South Street. I think it was an SPCK shop on the corner near the Well House that had wifi for a while. But not too much

YouTube on mobile devices seems to be getting more probable. The Barcelona news is about another couple of billion prospects. Personally I still have an ancient Nokia device that just makes phone calss and text. But video is better distributed so the cameras will follow. Apparently wifi helps with large files. So at some point Exeter City Council may support Flash or some other form of video.

The Asian Film festival continues next week at Devonshire House. It was raining on Saturday evening but my guess is that people in Exeter still do not know about it. There have been some leaflets but no posters that I have seen. So in the week of #likeminds can social media contribute something? There has been confusion over the exact dates and titles but I am now fairly certain that on Monday

Next week is #likeminds in Exeter. I am trying out some cardboard boxes as a demo of how broadband might work. There is a BT building near the Castle but not as much use of the web as there might be. The route will be to a table near the Old Timers.

Blog post on Google TV, Apple TV and #EX1to4 as a search based channel. Link here. http://post.ly/12mGL As a project this comes back to WiFi Exeter. The blog has been dormant for a while but there is still some interest. Downside is that Blogger now supplies some stats and it turns out only 10% of the views are from the UK. So probably not many from Exeter. The topics are relevant somewhere

This is a video already on Youtube The Spacex website shows details of events in Exmouth and Exeter that may be reported as video. Rougemont Global Broadcasting has included events at the castle but probably there are now enough sources for linking to make more sense. I have started two channels - Rougemont Garden Broadcasting that is just about exeter and fairly close ; Rougemont Global

Solomon Burke http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_Wdp7tjyrE Mama Stones in July. There may be more video later from the Respect Festival. The idea of using YouTube to promote Exeter events just needs lots of examples. Sometimes easier to use content from other places. Search YouTube on "Exeter Respect" already finds a few.

I will try out social media in Exeter this week. #likeminds is in Helsinki. In Exeter I miss LifeBytes as a real place. Was on Sidwell Street. Twitter is ok but not the same. IPEX blog updated. How to relate this to Exeter? Short posts on Posterous in future. May work ok as a sort of email. My main topic this week is the Kodak Zi8 camera. Presumably many more cameras like this will appear

The Respect Festival was really good. Belmont Park is quite close to Heavitree. I wonder what folk music is about? This event is getting closer to Sidmouth as a culture. All sorts of music could be folk music somewhere. Attitudes to copyright seem very flexible too. Lots of video some of which will turn up online. Samba Marcianas and NUMB so far. I have loaded an interview with Phonic and one

This shows how QR codes could work. Based on Manchester in reality. But Exeter could have something similar. I continue to look for suitable devices.

Not sure if this should be in the Animation blog. Probably not. I think the "wifi" theme is morphing into social media in general. I am using a retro mobile phone but tracking developments. I still use a dedicated device for a camera. Recently took some photos during the MayDay tea party, another random act of art at Spacex. No people so no release forms, hoping the dog is ok with this.

Still interested in barcodes or Quick Response codes. Tales of Things continues but there is no clear guidance so I think you can do what you like. Reporting back is important of course. There is a meeting coming up in Edinburgh that could explain a lot. Unfortunately this is a long way away from Exeter. I have an imaginary friend who lives quite close to Edinburgh but I fear he may be somewhere

I missed the Food Festival as i was in Lancaster last week, but here is a link to a proper print journalist from the Express and Echo. This marks a new stage in Exeter web video. Most events are recorded somewhere.

I am thinking about the Phoenix Digital Art scheme. There is a £750 budget as well as other support. Most of what I do is extension of blogging but maybe it could be art. I have found an online explanation of how MoMA New York has "acquired" the asperand - aka @. Still thinking about #likeminds and Exeter. I feel disjointed as if it all happened in another place.

The Exeter Twestival is over but some video exists. Ustream seems to work well and the sound is good on what I hear so far. This is a really good development. I have tried to work on several music videos with mixed results. Mama Stones has the resource for sound recording which is a good start. Suggest this is checked out as reference occasion.

This is video from Exeter. So don't worry about the nonsense on YouTube. Reasonable production is possible.

Still thinking about #likeminds and how Exeter continues meanwhile. I have found a Flickr link for Phoenix Galleries. Not sure how I missed it for so long. there are photos from several recent shows. I had thought that policy was to not allow photography from the public or casual bloggers. Just repeating myself but gradually getting towards a three minute version, social media assumes some sort

This post may claim to be about content but is an extension of the wifi Exeter idea. (Possibly some animation later but meanwhile the Aninexeter blog is off topic often enough).The Phoenix is offering some funds for a digital experiment so I am thinking of what might fit. Trying to understand how online learning happens, it seems to relate to comparisons through time and space. There is something

Yesterday the City Centre Manager was on Twitter again about being in the City Centre. I am gradually learning more about how this sort of thing works. A link to Gowalla showed which coffee site he was in. Meeting up with #likeminds types.I still find there is a disconnect with much of Exeter as I think about it. Maybe I should get out more or have not checked recently. The Exeter Twestival is

Searching blogs for more on LikeMinds. This from John Bell- Exeter UK is a hidden gem. Okay, hidden form me perhaps. Two and a half hours outside of London, who would have guessed that such a cool little town existed. It is a place that you could actually imagine living in (if you have kids) and you can actually buy stuff there as well. @scottgould and @drewellis did a great job of luring us all

Like Minds still settling. seems ok.the tape has jammed in my sensible camera so it is back to stills and the disgo. Can't edit this, the software just stops. But YouTube will load it ok.Just enough to make a connection. Please add links and comments.Fortunately Documentalist is on the case. Very impressive to edit this together overnight.

Timeshifting Exeter TVProblem is Jo is not in Exeter at this time. So Exeter TV, the production standards project, is not that present. Meanwhile maybe Rougemont global Broadcasting is better presented as a social network rather than video. not at all sure about this which is why a chat with Jo would be useful. Possible solution is to link this to Facebook then check later. Imagined events can

Do they mean us?The wonders of Twitter include finding out what is going on just around the corner. During Animated Exeter I became aware of the Exeter City Centre Manager and then became a follower. This week it turns out there is a major event in Exeter around social networking. Friday lunchtime at various places not too far from Queen Street. From the Twitter feed so far it seems people or on

Winter Beer Festival on YouTubeTrying to keep up with events in Exeter. Still hoping to find an editor for the tapes from Beer At The Castle. The sound needs some help also. But something will happen soon. Lighting for live music really is better in the summer. Not sure if there will be a 2010 summer event. But the Castle will have some combination of food / drink / music. My idea of the YouTube

More about local news. Not sure if this is the right blog but "wifi Exeter" has tended to be about anywhere there is wifi. Exeter may be similar but out of time. News is that there will be tests of the local tv news approach for ITV. These will be in Scotland, Wales and North East England. Most interest seems to be in Scotland.

Spent the last couple of weeks in Granadaland but YouTube has much stuff from Exeter Castle. Nothing I can find on Ian Anderson in the Cathedral or on Spin2. But the Winterlude one is at the end of this list. 2010 could be even better for video from Rougemont.

Over the weekend I visited Beer, fantastic sunshine. Sundown in Budleigh was a week or two too early. I noticed that the Mccreadys will soon be playing so this is a good reason to promote the video from Sidmouth again.Perhaps another seven people will see the video and one or two will be somewhere near Beer. Not yet a mass medium but gradually a method is emerging. Also met the Old Porch Band at

Still looking for an editor or trying to learn a bit more about it. the tapes from Beer At The Castle will appear on YouTube in time to be ahead of next year. Meanwhile this one is easier as there is only one camera anyway. Forgot to load the other tape. They will be at the Well House Tavern next Sunday 27 September from 8pm and also at Phoenix Cafe Bar Sunday Social 11 October 1.30-2.00pm.

Video around visual art is getting easier but it may be easier still for a blog to include bits of visual content for the purpose of discussion. I have done some blank photos and versions with cable or string to show a network around the Exeter Castle, BT building, library Phoenix and museum. Each is on Flickr with Creative Commons copyright. So feel free to do some better lines and/or more

My blog on New Exeter has links about reporting technology. Having seen video and sound loaded through an iPhone. Have a look here. I may turn up on Phonic sometime soon so the basis for this will be in the New Exeter blog. It may seem as a bit messy but will become clearer during the broadcast. Actual live radio works quite well.

YouTube updated with some talk from the Beer At The Castle event. It is getting closer to being a chat show. Probably it will have to be recreated over time. There is a lot of music to come later but it will take time to edit. There is a tape from the sound mixing desk but not sure where the sound is that different or what to do with it.

Today is day two of Beer At The Castle and already I have loaded a video from yesterday. This is about as fast as news can happen I think. then there is the time for the audience to find it. Possibly by next year YouTube will be contributing to publicity for this event.This video came from an AVI from a stills camera. There is video on tape but this takes a while to edit. Maybe months.

Previously I did some photo merging with backgrounds from the castle and Spin2 who were busking in the High Street the same day. They are not part of the official beer fest but on their MySpace page it says they will be at the FireHouse this evening. Not far away.

The House of commons debate on Digital Britain had some interest in the idea of a pilot for local news. There seemed to be a lot of support for Granadaland as a suitable location. Maybe we should benchmark on this. If Ben Bradshaw suggested Exeter was the ideal spot it might lead to comment. So some research in Granadaland could fit in somewhere. The Pyrates have a booking at a festival in Kendal

Thinking about a beer festival as a section of unusual time. One of the papers I do not yet understand is by Michel Foucault about Heterotopias or alternative spaces. He also mentions "heterochronies" slices of time they may be linked to. somehow this connects with learning theory and web design, unless I am just adding in my own take on an academic scene.The actual event could be more like a

Tuesday night was interesting. More reasons why news online can be slow. The mix of editing and/or getting permission for images takes a while. And events are not that clear when and if they happen. At The Shed in Princesshay there was the official launch of the art exhibit but it has been announced and postponed a couple of times previously so almost nobody was there till the end. I did take

Thinking more about text and books, it may be more difficult to cover. In Exeter there are two branches of Waterstones in the High Street, both with stock of Sony Reader. Also a Blackwell branch at the university campus but there are no plans for an ondemand book printing device as the site will close soon for redevelopment. Earliest date a couple of years as part of a relaunch. Also I have a

Another search later it turns out that BBC content has been reworked for YouTube, with video and subtitles. What is wrong with this? Slicing up the BBC budget to keep keep existing models going is only one option. "Sharing" could mean more of a network that went a bit wider.

Other topics are more or less covered so the scope ccould include more on text, journalism and publishing. Books include images also but it seems to be words that are the basis. The talk around "Digital Britain2 so far has been mostly about how to preserve exisiting structures.

I have done a very quick video on the new iPhone, available in Exeter. It is an inspiring idea about getting stuff on YouTube quite quickly. things have changed a bit too. It is not forbidden to photograph near Princesshay as was widely believed when it opened. So this has not got any staff opinions in it and should be ok.

I think this is the same {dweeb] appearing at the Cathedral as have a Youtube channel. The NightChurch project certainly is putting on music. The Jazz last week was excellent. Mostly standards so there was nothing too experimental. I did some extracts on YouTube, search on Cathdral Jaxzz or start here, The Way You Look Tonight.A poster for the NightChurch event on 26th June is available for

An actual meeting did happen at the Well House, part of a planning meeting for the Beer Festival. Some progress as I managed to get agreement for something to be quoted. "Exeter is the biggest village I have ever lived in" said Captain Gallows while handing out sample CDs of the Pyrates who still have a few unbooked dates over the summer. Exeter may be a regional capital but it is also a county

Rougemont Global Broadcasting -draft notes for chat show during Beer @TheCastle 26/27 June(this blog is mostly about bandwidth but content is in there somewhere)RGB is a longterm project to develop video from Exeter. So far there is some text and some clips on YouTube. Mostly the standards are not of broadcast quality. Exeter TV is also on YouTube but with some sort of standard and resources for

This may seem a strange choice for this topic but I think the solution could be better access to photos from CCTV through some sort of network. The starting point is the possibility that trees are in danger in the Cathedral Yard not just because of Health and Safety issues but because of the need for clear lines of sight from CCTV cameras. I thought this was a wierd idea at first but then I did

Raving on about the Guardian I realised I should explain more about local news and video. Sometime soon there could be a local resource with some sort of business model. not sure how this would work. But there is a discussion about local news that so far seems just to be about finding subsidies for a model that is under so much pressure it may not survive anyway. The Web can work with networks so

This blog is mostly about bandwidth but this post is about content except the last bit so please keep reading. I think it will more or less hang together.OhmyNews have published my story about the Analogue to Digital Music Expo. Usually there are about 4,000 readers for each story but I am not sure where they are. I am promoting this story as a connection of something local and something global.

Brother Pollard has returned to Exeter. He visited Southwark Cathedral last summer and then stayed on the south bank. Apparently Vibraphonic could be the explanation.Not sure if this should be in wifiExeter, mostly about bandwidth, or in animX, mostly about content. soon there will have to be a way to match the blogs together. While in London he visited the parks around the rivers and canals near

I have joined New Exeter and posted some photos from the High Street Find more photos like this on newexeterCould do a video but this is supposed to be a site where people are sparing with resources. Also I am moving backwards towards the Sony Reader so greyscale photos are interesting, as is text. Script or outline to be sorted first.

Invite has arrived to join a New Exeter Group based on Ning. It looks interesting and includes links to Phonic FM. I have started a profile and explained an interest in a YouTube group for Exeter. Exeter TV may eventually appear much like old Exeter but there is not much sign of this at the moment. So "New Exeter" is to be welcomed.Meanwhile Facebook are still categorising people from Exeter as

As far as I know there is still no support for Flash on Exeter City Council websites. Will this policy change any time soon? My guess is that YouTube will soon be better regarded and it will clearly be a problem that Exeter has not got more of an online presence. The animX blog has pointed out some animation connections.It seems possible that mobile devices could be sold and supported online.

Thinking a bit more about it maybe there should just be acceptance for the fact that bandwidth in the UK is quite a lot slower than is often supposed or could be assumed by comparison with many other places. Perhaps Exeter City Council is right not to support Flash. At least they can support a lot of text. Recently I have been thinking about the ePUB format for the Sony Reader. This is mostly

Lord Mandelson has started to blog and has an avatar in Second Life. Whatever next?I have left a comment-When you consider the creative industries there appears to be an expectation that Digital Britain has a chance to explore the potential of the internet. i think you should have a realistic view of UK bandwidth compared to other places in Europe and in Asia.

The Western Morning News has launched a new blog feature, linking to other blogs in the region. So earlier views on a lack of connection between print and online will need to be reconsidered. Bloggers can only gain from the promotion in print. However I cannot find a comments feature so far. My plan is to continue blogging here and send an email.The Saturday hard copy version of the Western

New interviews on YouTubeThis post is in this blog because it covers the implications of broadband etc. some of it is animation but the animX blog will become mostly about content, especially next month as Animated Exeter gathers focus in real space and time.So far I have been loading some test videos to YouTube as Will Pollard and developing script outlines for Rougemont Global Broadcasting.

Another take on wifiExeter being anywhere. These are videos around Tottenham Court Road. It may be easier to find people to talk about things here such as the Sony Reader. Eventually there will be an edit. Add a response video to YouTube if you like.The basic route is a square, down TCR, across to Morgans, back up to Waterstones, back to TCR. There is a Sony Centre on the way.Goodge Street

Buzz Busby visits Red Lion Gallery in a sort of Second Life. That is to say there is a photograph. Previously attempts to get permission to set up photographs or video have met with some problems so Second Life has some benefits although there are costs in actual land.

Think local, act online or something like that.I have done a rave about the Guardian, trying to establish that the Web is ok.

Photos from the Wilton Music Hall did not come out well, not enough light. So i have started to try out ways of changing them in Photoshop. Elements 2 that is, nothing very complicated.

Rotherhithe Tunnel is now closed to pedestrians. I found this out during the Open house weekend. My information that it was open was based on a walk by a friend on the occasion of the celebrations for the hundred years since it started. Maybe there is no notice on the south approach. Not sure about this. I did meet people during the weekend who were not convinced about the air quality but others

Sony Reader story submitted for OhmynewsYet to be edited, but here is a linkStill checking it out. there is a sort of keyboard when you change the date and time.

Sony Reader arrives in ExeterAs predicted, both Waterstones have stocks of the Sony Reader. Not much excitement though. There were no queues, no special events. The Apple Store would have made a bit more of it I think but maybe consumer electronics is a bit unusual for a bookshop.Other e-book readers are available, but not in Exeter shops. The Amazon Kindle is not expected anytime soon outside
