Gnomdex 5.0 Video by Bre Pettis

Bre Pettis

Bre Pettis put together a great video from Gnomedex 5.0 which he posted over on his I Make Things blog. He interviews me along with Lee Lefever (Common Craft) and Lee Hammond (Geffen Records). I talk about how blogs, podcasts, etc. are a great way for artists to get their content out there and I even sneak in a plug for WordPress.

Along with Bre, I met a bunch of Vloggers (also referred to as video bloggers) at Gnomedex, including Boston-based Steve Garfield who’s been doing some great stuff over on his video blog. Here’s a photo I shot of Bre and Steve in action covering Adam Curry’s keynote presentation. Vlogging is following right along with podcasting as an amazing way to deliver rich media content and we are going to see quite a few developments in this area in the years to come. One of these days I’ll have to dig up some of my old footage from 1996-98 and put together some online video.
