[CIMC-work] Thoughts from today's meeting

[Mitchell Szczepanczyk]

(1) While I was at VersionFest three weeks ago, I met with
representatives from Free Speech TV who were seriously interested in
getting some Chicago-area video content to reair on FSTV.  At the time I
met them, I was thinking of passing along the CAN-TV Community Forum
appearances that I helped do, but I'm now thinking, given the flood of new
video that's posted to the newswire, that I should make a general call to
the newswire for videographers to send content to FSTV for reairing on
FSTV (that's a potential audience of more than 9 million homes).  I'll
contact the folks at FSTV to see what they'll think of this, but I'd like
to hear what you think of this.

a link on this page to the PDF file where the following comes from):

Tech Gear

Garmin Rino 120
Whether marching for peace in America or
economic justice in Brazil, it pays to know where
you...and your friends are. Garmin's new GPS
enabled hand held radios make it possible to
pinpoint your location within several meters. Assign
icons to your buddies and watch them in real time
on your screen.
Garmin Rino 120: $267.84 SRP
Application for FCC GRMS License: $75.00

Sony Ericsson T300
Capturing an image while running from tear gas
and the local riot police isn't easy - not to mention
keeping your film if you get caught. Behold a new
generation of camera phones that allow you to take
digital snap shots and transmit them to your email
account long before the cops can figure out what
happened. The Sony Ericsson T300 is not the most
advanced camera phone on the market, but at $99
from T Mobile, its price is hard to beat. The phone
captures up to 30 images at 100 x 80 and features
a voice recorder and 500-name address book.
Sony Ericsson T300: $199 SRP
$99 with rebate and service from T-Mobile
