NBC series airs on web

Per this post on TVguide.com (scroll down to JESUS LIVES! AND APPARENTLY HAS DSL), the canceled series Book of Daniel will have its unaired episodes broadcast on the web.

Also check out the official site for the show -- one of the characters has a blog, with open comments from visitors (which mostly bemoan the cancellation).

Note: the site says Windows only... I'll check this on a Windows box today.

Cell Phone Film Fest on NPR

Listen to this NPR piece from this morning about a cell-phone "film" fest. We'll talk more about this stuff when we get to mobile video.

Also -- let's talk about how many of you can shoot video on your cell phone... again when we get to that (but remind me if I don't bring it up!)

Class Podcast -- 01/26/06

Here's a preview of tomorrow's class -- both in content and form -- a podcast I put together this evening with Garageband.

NY Times Circuits section

Today's Circuits section in the New York Times is a special look at issues of convergence of media. Pick it up if you get the chance! We'll discuss this article tomorrow in class.

MediaShift blog

PBS has started a blog "hosted" by Marc Glaser, a media critic and journalist, called MediaShift.

I'm adding it to our sidebar of links, along with Henry Jenkins' site. You should check out these sites regularly, especially resources like the Reading List on MediaShift.

CBS micro-series

Advertising campaign as transmedia microseries (link here).

British mobile TV study

Here's a link to an article about a British study on mobile TV. Doesn't talk so much about original content beyond what is served by television (ie. content created specifically for mobile devices). Still, interesting nonetheless.

Fernandez article on Lost

I'm posting this link to Maria Elena Fernandez' article about Lost that we read and discussed in the 01/12/06 class.

First post

This is a blog for the Special Topics in Multimedia: Convergence Creation class at Northeastern.
