Wouldn't be cool if somehow, sometime, we could all meet somewhere and hang for a day or two? I know..."how in the world will I do that, I barely see my family..."

But what if...

If not in person, maybe a video conference, or a companion video blog with introductions to go along with the podcast show where ANYBODY could post videos. I guess we could even start doing this on youtube.com or blogger.com...?? Anybody have ideas?

Just something to ponder and think about.

You could always use Stickam, nothing to download.

that sickham thing is really cool but how would you have a conference with like 50 people via webcam?

Well, you couldn't do a live anything with 50 people at once. But the Stickan chat rooms are pretty cool. It's set up to show 16 live webcams but there can be 50+ people in the chat room and you just choose the cams you want to look at. You can mute/unmute all or just the onces of your choosing, etc. So, if you had a moderator, he/she could control the conference and show the cams/sounds from whomever he/she wished.

I've done it before for a couple of things, a fantasy football sports podcast I'm part of during the season, for one. It's pretty neat.

I actually had been thinking about this. Like if we could all go hang out somewhere - that would be so so awesome! Seriously, I would take off work for a few days to go hang out with you guys!

Well, if you all want to meet somewhere in VA, Dara and I could make it (if it's not in May or July). Otherwise, we might have to join you next year, instead.

Splint, AWESOME after picture. Congrats!

I'm a long time Opera users, in fact, I PAID for Opera back when the basic version was ad-supported.

Opera is just so lean and simple I can't seem to give it up.

Sounds like a great idea. Some sort of live chat or vid would be neat. You could always create a MIRC channel. Does anyone still use that anymore? It's only chat no vid. Stickam sounds better with the vid or chat.

Yes some people still use that. A hacker just recently hacked a website my co-worker worked on, got in the server with SQL injection and took over the server and got on mIRC to sell the server.

I think we should have like a week on a Caribbean Island somewhere with like sponsors so we don't have to pay. They could all set up booths and stuff, and to "repay" them for paying for our trip, we would be required to check out x number of booths and sit through y number of lectures, but then we'd all go out to the beach and show off our sexy summer bods!
