It is frustrating how almost everything is video now. I feel so excluded since the player does not work on a slow connection. YouTube’s player does but this one does not.

Interesting talk by Mark Jaquith. I just recently jumped into BuddyPress and I’m liking what can be done with it.

I’d like to be able to watch this video while I am riding the subway. Of course we do not have wi-fi in the NYC subway. How can I get this onto my iPod?

You can grab a video file that will work with your iPod from the RSS feed. We’re working on ways to make this more iPod/iPhone friendly—watch the blog for news.

@Ryan – and where would that RSS feed be? I did know the answer to that one, because a few years ago I spent months trying to figure out what is really simple: feed://wordpress.tv/feed/
Getting a “category feed” from a WordPress blog was a mystery to me until one day I discovered that all you have to do is type “/feed” on the end. At the time it made me angry that it took months of searching to figure that out. In the past couple of years, I have become a technical person again, after a technical hiatus, while I was the business guy managing technical people for a couple of decades. The work we all do here does not need to be such a mystery to non-technical folks. It is important, but of course not easy, to attempt to understand how we can de-mystify this for non-technical folks.

I cant’ get any of your videos to play. I always get this message, “Sorry, the video is currently not available.” I’ve tried Firefox and Safari (Mac). Any suggestions?

This functionality is already present in MovableType but the problem with MT is that you need to know Perl to extend the CMS. Very powerful CMS, but difficult to extend in my opinion.
