Haha I thought of this last night but you beat me to it. Great Minds Sir Great Minds
-
This is super amazing. I am going to do one of these really soon.
I really like the idea of user generated video content. These simple guidelines rock.
1. introduce yourself
2. where are you from
3. tell me something cool about yourself
First five get a gift from @Ed Stapleton Jr ... Everyone say hello to my bro @Ed Stapleton Jr ! -
So killer @Ed Stapleton Jr ! I'll hop on it tonight and get a post up. Just post it to the main stream, or on this conversation?
-
-
Along with all the other rad things this will do for adding 'human' behind our conversations, for some reason, I think this will play a somewhat fun role in deciding who uses what platform in our Vimeo v. YouTube conversation.
Looking forward to seeing/meeting all the cool personalities on here - -
Who is that clown from Honolulu? Hello World.
Sorry for the nostril cam, too lazy to get out my tripod :) -
-
@Ed Stapleton Jr brilliant idea! Great to meet you in person :) You forgot to mention you are the guy who asks simple, yet super questions - but never answers them :):) GRIN Glad you really liked that book! :) I will confess - i don't do videos b/c I don't care for my appearance, but I might embed an audio so you guys can at least here what I sound like - to make it more real. So glad you jumped on this idea :) You are such a help to Namesake! :)

@Brian Norgard In the similar words of the great american poet O'Shea Jackson (Namesake uses "Real Names") Today is a Good Day!
-
-
@Jaxi West Get a large "Royal Wedding Hat" and some Retro 80's Big Face Sunglasses and just do the "Jaxi Onassis" introduction video!
-
@shawndocboyd LOL - that is a good idea - will contemplate. Just made an audio via Audacity - but don't know how to get it on here b/c it's on my computer - to save it, you always have to export it to an MP3 any help on this?
-
Ed, such a great idea, I did a quick video and shared what I rarely share, the really coolest thing I've done and one thing that teaches me about the Internet, Remember.org - 16 years old, millions taught, all about love and connection and life (once you see the subject matter, you'll see the difference). Namesake is one of the few communities that shows what I have learned in my first educational, social network, built on what people like Howard Rheingold and the folks at Wired, like Chris Anderson, influenced me (and Brenda Laurel, computers as theatre, making web sites like an interactive theatre experience)...thanks for inspiring this introduction!
-
@Shawn Doc Boyd great job! nice to put a voice to the face....private message me your address and ill get your gift to you out in the mail.
-
-
@Jaxi West Check out Soundcloud.com make an account and upload the file to there it will transcode for you. Like I did for the live call
-

-
-
@Ed Stapleton Jr thanks, normally I'd talk about all the affiliate marketing experience, yet there's nothing like a community to rock your soul...just like Namesake!
-
-
@shawndocboyd @Ed Stapleton Jr this is probably all you will get :) Shawn, I like soundcloud better than Audacity - thanks for the tip - I recorded on it instead :)

@Ed Stapleton Jr I love your video!! You did great!! Hey my whole startup is based on video cooking, man I got to get cooking on a video!!
-
Really, I'm not a bot or an AI that Dan and Brian wrote. But you all failed the reverse Turing test anyway.
;-)
Sorry this vid sucks so much. -
and yeah, I'm on Namesake in my sleep...you can tell because my writing gets better :-D

I have to put some make up on and fix my hair, I seriously was painting a mural outside in 90 plus temps with my students for a final project!!
-
Im thinking about posting a video, but I'm a child and have nothing to talk about!
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
@Brian Sletten yeah, headshot is about 4 years old, 15 or so less pounds ago and a foot of hair more.
-
-
-
-
@Andrea Fuentes Less hair than in my avatar? definitely not. That was during the short-hair cycle (I'm on a roughly 7 year cycle with short or long hair)
-
@Clint Ivy I'm almost the same way. Every year on and off i have long and short hair. Hehe I can't decide which I like more.
-
@Andrea Fuentes that is, until the day that I start to lose it in which case I'm going mr. clean...looking forward to it actually
-
-
-
-
-
@Justin Glommen depends on the hair. Totally off topic, but mine is very, very fine so doesn't really hold a style even with a ton of product -- that gets annoying really fast. But sometimes you just have to cut it all off and start it over
-
I'm probably going to post a video, I just need some recommendations on what to talk about.
-
@Justin Glommen just go for it....my video was one take and actually the first video ive ever posted on the internet...i was terrified to press the enter button
-
@Justin Glommen tell us about what your doing within your interests...I think you've mentioned UI design? Or tell us about the coolest thing you've ever done. Or, what book your reading just for fun right now.
-
@Clint Ivy nice! this will help quell the AI rumors, and a fellow long hair...definitely a contrast to your profile pic!
-
-
@Ed Stapleton Jr Oh really? Nice well i love the idea! I've made videos before but I always take forever, anyways I will attempt it! Wish me luck xD
-
-
-
-
-
@Justin Glommen shooooot! its your birthday??? easy...tell us your name, where ya from and how old you are...thats it
-
-
-
-
-
@Andrea Fuentes Thanks, @Andrea Fuentes , but it's not my birthday (don't know where that came from). My birthday's in November. :-)

-
@Declan Dunn I live in Centennial, but I've lived all over the south end of the Denver area for the last 23 years. I love it here!
-
-
-
Actually I got it. I think. Here ya go Namesake!
-
@Justin Glommen big plus sign to the top right of the comment box but your vid needs to be on youtube or flickr or vimeo or something like that
-
-
@Cody Boyte nice, I live up on Honey Run, overlooking the canyon, couple of recent videos I shot recently...small world!
-
-
-
-
-
-
Wow I dont like the YouTube video quick capture feature at all. The video is delayed.
-
-
-
@Justin Glommen nice video! Love lord of the rings.
If you dig fantasy, might I also suggest Terry Brooks (Shannara series), Robert Jordan (Wheel of Time), Anne MacCaffrey (Pern Series) and David Eddings? -
-
-
-

-
I figured, screw the shower but kept the EFF hat.

-

-
-
-
-
I also forgot to mention one cool thing about me in my intro about myself: I'm the first child on Namesake! It's a pleasure!
-
@Justin Glommen right on man. when namesake explodes and is bigger than facebook you can tell all your buddies you were the first high schooler on namesake EVER
-
-
-
-
Good idea, here you go. Let's play a game, how many times did I say "You Know"? SMH =P
-
-
-
-
@Julius E. Sea Jr Has a Cool little "Issac Hayes" vibe going on. Can you sign Shaft, Never Can Say Goodbye, Walk on By or of course Chocolate Salty Balls :)
-
I'm somewhat unnerved at a recording being produced in a car. Must be an Angelino.
-
@Brian Norgard Thanks! I played semi-pro for a team called the Newark Jets (I went to NJIT, they dont have a team). Fun times. the team traveled up and down the east coast. Blew out my knee a couple of times so I just decided to call it quits. Yep, I'm Nigerian so I definately appreciated @Sarah Lacy work when she went out there. A lot needs to be done, and I don't claim to have the solution. I just want to be able to do my part no matter how small. Oh and by the way, I'm not immune to the scam e-mails because I'm Nigerian. I used to get them all the time. I would just laugh, and tell them I know where their family lives =)
-
@Shawn Doc Boyd I get the voice thing all the time. Unfortunately I do not have a musical bone in my body. @Erik Engstrom Traffic was barely moving at the time and I had the phone against the dash so I could focus on the road. I know still bad, wont happen again. Promise!
-
-
-
-
@Brian Norgard Thanks for that, one day that very quick and dirty video will be shown on CNBC as people talk about Namesake blowing the doors off of Facebook. I'm so believe this to be true
-
-
@Ed Stapleton Jr There you go raising the bar for us...lol. I think that was very cool of you (although I am terribly late seeing it)
-
-
-
-
-
Seems like a decent guy, but the the "and ummm" is a poor performance. Constructive criticism.... hope that helps
-
-
@Brian Norgard nice vid bri!! love the fountain in the background although it sounds like your peeing...
-
-
-
@Jim Finseth thanks for the feedback....post a video of your own, would love to keep this going and get to know more of you.
-
@Ken Feldman @Scott Magoon @Bill DAlessandro @Scott Hurff @Michael Viamari @Dan Gould ...i wanna see you fellas post a video
-
-
@Justin Glommen really great video! Super to meet you :) I like your personality and ya know what - you aren't lazy - cause you ARE the 1st child on Namesake - so that shows guts, tons of initiative and action :) Happy Birthday! Thanks for giving us your time here on such a big day for you :) What did you do to celebrate? Did you ever start that convo that @Clint Ivy suggested? I look forward to reading your posts :)
hey fellow namesakers: I'd say the first big Namesake event in the CA area - Justin get's invited and he is honored as the Innaugural 1st Child :) What do you think @BrianNorgard? @DanGould? You 'get' namesake and fit in super well already! You add some refreshment to this place - we will get to have a less tainted perspective on a lot of things -through the eyes of a 14 year old (sometimes us adults can complicate things or be a tad cynical :) -
-
-
Now it did, ok a day late and a dollar short, but glad to say hello to everyone.
-
@Justin Glommen Click on the plus sign in the right hand top corner of the comment box, a pop up will come up for you to post the link.
-
@Nikki Johnson where's your video? I'm glad I posted mine before I watched @Julius E. Sea Jr video, because his is so much cooler than mine LOL!!
-
Ok so I can't breath out of my nose due to some serious allergies, so I apologize for my nasally voice :)
-
-
@Drew D'Agostino great video - good to meet you :) Sounds like you are busy - so thanks for giving us time on here. Really like the GoRomeo tunes and concept! This is a hit idea :)
-
-
oh.... I get it now, you click the + icon and then you can add videos inline. Not intuitive, guys :). We want to paste our links in this box and have it taken care of automatically. Don't make me think.
-
-
-
-
-
@Brian Norgard man I should have recorded mine at night too!! The lighting is much more flattering ... LOL. You should try to put your dog in the video... mine wasn't cooperating but you can glimpse her.
-
-
-
Im watching everyone's videos now. This is awesome! We need more of this :D
