Thanks Graham.
We are definitely for a new projector that does well in all sorts of lighting
situations. One with decent speakers would be useful as well. Any suggestions?
Two interesting items that we've picked up to hopefully more systematically
record decent audio at events is a Pyle Pro PDWM4300 or a four mic wireless
system (two lapel mics for presenters and two regular mics for the
audience/panels) (we managed to find it for around $100 ... haven't tested it
yet. I could see us connecting the audio to one our personal Video Camcorders
with the right adapters. We also pick up for $50 a LightSnake which allows you
to connect a XLR microphone to USB. So even if we don't us a public address
system we should be able to grab podcastable audio from our events.
Because we are zooming around rural Minnesota we are trying to figure out which
mobile provider provides higher bandwidth across the state at the right price.
Unfortunately, it looks like datacards require a 2 year contract - BOO! While I
always assume with presentations that the Net connection just won't work and
put everything in PowerPoint, we'd like the ability to bring in a remote guest
via video Skype or Sightspeed (or others two video services you might
recommend) as well as the demo some stuff in real-time when we use a workshop
format.
It would also be fun to webcast some discussions live around the state and far
beyond. Has anyone tried http://www.mogulus.com or http://www.flixwagon.com or
http://operator11.com or http://www.ustream.tv ?
Cheers,

P.S. We so have 6 month old FlipVideo recorder. It works great in lower light
compared to other tools. Now all we need is David Wilcox's short interview
style talent!
