OK, check it out...I'm getting all multi-media on your ass. For your viewing/listening pleasure, here is a 20 second video snippet of last night's Haints/Helper Monkey's rendition of "Jackie Howard".
Just a warning: it's a big-ish file - 3.7MB to be exact. So, if you're like me and you just have a slower-than-molasses dial-up connection at home you might want to wait until you get to work and use your company's speedy T-1 connection - or find a friend with DSL. Or, pour yourself a cup of coffee and grab the new New Yorker (check out the 'provocative' Chan Marshall photo and read the new David Sedaris essay) while you wait for it to download. It took about 8 minutes on my five-year-old iMac using dial-up. I know, it seems like a lot of work for just 20 seconds of audio/video that was shot on a Canon Powershot S110 - but really, it's worth it. (If, after it downloads, you don't see the video but just get audio - hit the 'refresh' button on your toolbar - that should fix it...)
Oh, and if you have any trouble downloading - let me know (e-mail, guestbook, comments, etc). I was having trouble w/ my PC, but it worked fine on the iMac....oh... and if anyone knows of a better way to upload files -i.e, how to make them more managable in regards o downloading, please let me know
