A mall developer sicced his lawyers on a man who started a website to praise a new mall. He says: "Since I possess very limited resources with which to defend myself from this legal onslaught, I decided that my best option was to make use of that great equalizer, the World Wide Web."
Did he ever.

The Weekly Show
Today we would like to introduce a new way to get.info from the unmediated blog: the unmediated quickcast. Quickcasts are short, 1-5 minute "mini-podcast" (audio) versions of original, non-reblogged posts in the voice of the original author. They provides you with an alternative way of reading posts when you're not in a position to read.
They also provide us with a way to practice and test some of the media blogging tools and processes we're working on. Unmediated quickcasts will show up as enclosures in both the unmediated full RSS 2.0 feed and the unmediated Weekly Show feed.
We hope you find these quickcasts as informative as we find them useful.
The Weekly Show resumes production, Monday afternoon at 2.00pm EST. We are working on a way to "open source" The Weekly Show, by putting together a basic program structure and technical infrastructure for allowing you to host the show on weeks that we aren't available. We're still in the planning stages, so we would love to hear your ideas on this. So please speak up and drop your thoughts in the comments section.

Vloggercon 2005 - New York, NY - Saturday, January 22, 2005
UPDATE 12/31/2004: Vloggercon now has a process blog at
http://vloggercon.blogspot.com/
Registration, schedule, and logistical info coming soon.
Hey guys--
what started as an offhanded comment by Shannon is now a reality.
Vloggercon 2005.
Shannon from LA is coming to NYC the 3rd week of january to do some work. so we said we'll have Vloggercon 2005 on saturday, January 22nd. whoever wants to come is now officially invited.
Andrew Barron of Rocketboom teaches at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan...and says we can get a room with a projector and wi-fi for the day. I imagined we'd organize some discussion sessions from 10am-4pm. Then, just eat and party the rest of the evening.
what i need to know is...who interested in coming? we can find you a free place to stay no problem.
Also, we need some discussion leaders. I imagine hour long sessions where we talk about the work we've been doing this year...showing videos...and figuring out what we can do next.
If you have an idea you want to lead us through, email me and we'll see if we can set it up. Everything is up for grabs. I just think it'd be a good time to come together and see what we've accomplished so far.
I look forward to meeting all of you who can make it.
