I wanted to quickly share these great tips that everyone provided when I could not access the web from my client’s site. Thank you very much for the assistance. I will clean up the post and insert hyperlinks later on.

• Starman @istarman Under the Network System Preference, make sure that Built-In Ethernet is green, and that you have an IP that doesn’t start w/169
• hilary tyler @podcrawl Command-K
• scottypboston @scottypboston - I had that problem on my macbook pro. I set up a location that disabled wifi and used only eth to resolve it.
• Michael De Leon @mdeleon - Try renewing the DHCP License. Could be that it was tied to the other computer’s MAC address
• Steven Buehler @revtriste - Check that the wired interface is included in your location profile?
• Philip Campbell @philcampbell - check the light on the other end, try another cable, try a reboot with cable in - de-activate wifi, refresh dhcp in network set..
• Adele McAlear @adelemcalear - Make sure your Apple Talk is on; Make sure port is on (may be off if you use wireless)
• Wayne MacPhail @wmacphail - Try turning off Airport

It’s very, very simple.

I knew ZERO about web video going in. Didn’t have to. You hang out in the browser, hit a button to record, another to stop & then click and it’s live (and on your Twitter if you choose).

It’s newsy

I can try to be useful and interesting and share info. Who knows if I succeed, but I can try easily. If 1000 people try, someone will be great.

It’s silly

Can’t believe I am actually pointing this one out to people.

It’s immediate

It’s conversational

And hard to keep up with, but you can take it at your own speed.

It’s human

That last one I struggled to blog or tweet or explain in some way. I never meant to get so emotional on video. But, could text have possibly been so real at telling that story?
