Hey My First Video Tropical Update

#1 Postby MWatkins » Wed Jun 15, 2005 10:47 pm

This...admittedly...is a bit cheesy. But this is actually a valid update for tonight, complete with the following things:

1. My goofy mug.
2. Satellite imagery
3. Model imagery
4. A telestrator

Anyway...please provide feedback...this is obviously a little more detail than normal for non-event systems because I wanted to demonstrate some of the content we'll be able to provide...but this is basically a pilot. Please be candid and open with the feedback...this is more than I can do with text or even over the radio thing...

You'll need a media viewer such as winamp...lemee know.

Dang, MW, I thought you were much older... you are wise beyond your years.

Thanks for the video, telestrating, explanations, etc. (The arrows are great. lol) Very cool. I look forward to many more!

Goodjob Mike...

It is hard to transition from Radio to Television. You get mixed up in your words.

You get better as you go along.... I am still messing-up some.
