A choice few of you might have noticed that I have a couple of videos and photos tagged videobloggingweek2007, and have been wondering what David is up to… or not. Either way, you’re going to find out!
This week has been declared Videoblogging Week 2007! What’s that mean? It means that videobloggers everywhere have a simple (yet daunting) task: to create and post seven videos to their blogs… in seven days - one each day for a whole week.
There are a lot of videos being created this week! here are a few places to find them:
What am I posting? Here’s a list of the videos I’m posting this week:
I’ll update this list as the week progresses, for those interested. (update - all done! A day early even!)
Why am I doing this? Because it’s fun; I’m learning more about making videos, using video software, and being creative; it’s participatory in a web 2.0 sense; and did I mention fun?

Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library has been developing a Second Life presence. We have a storefront building in CybraryCity, so we formed a library committee to figure out what to do with it. This post explains what we’ve done so far.
Last night, we held our first event - an open house at the storefront. From my perspective, it was a success - we had about 50 attendees (two of which blogged about it)! We had a few things set up for the attendees to do. They could:
- sign our guestbook
- get a free t-shirt
- network with the other people/avatars who attended the event
- get an impromptu tour of our facility
- get some food (including chicken wings, sushi, and cake)
- get a free coffee mug with my library’s logo
- Join in on the rooftop dancing
And, of course, see what we’ve been up to. So far, we have focused on “original content,” including:
- a click-through display of artwork in our library’s art gallery
- exploring web links to info on Topeka and Kansas
- information about our library
Meeting and events are a HUGE thing at our RL library - so we have tables and chairs set up in our storefront “branch” to facilitate SL meetings.
And did I mention we’re “dance-party-capable?”
That’s what we’ve been doing with our storefront. If you’re interested, here’s a link to some “pictures” I took of the event, and here’s a video I made about the event.
Stay tuned for more as we continue to develop it!
