Revit Oped Podcast - Test One Two

Bill Debevc just celebrated his first anniversary of BIM Thoughts. We talked about doing a separate podcast together tied to what I do with this blog in some way. He made sure we actually started it by sending me a meeting invitation. He's doing the heavy lifting of preparing it for me. I get to show up, chat with him for a bit and wander off again.

Last night it was finally listed at iTunes, you can search for it there now using Apple's Podcast app or your other favorite Podcast software.

We've set up a blog site to store episode notes and allow for comments. It's still under development so don't be surprised if it changes over the next month or so. Our first episode is called Hello World!. It is possible to just listen to each episode on the blog site too.

Bill came up with our nice podcast logo.

I asked my daughter to create one and liked her initial design sketch a lot but she's got so much school work I took it off her plate. My son Jake did the intro/outro music for us, thanks!

Bill, thanks for making me do it! We hope people listen and enjoy it.

Revit OpEd Tube

A comment in a recent post asked why the videos I've done aren't posted at YouTube. I replied, "Because I had a Screencast account already and it was easy." Not a very good answer really. Based on a comment after posting this initially a much smarter answer would have been, "Because some of this blog's readers have YouTube blocked at work".

Unfortunately it isn't easy to switch from .swf format to a compatible format at YouTube, at least not until I'm prepared to sink some cash into the problem that is. I recorded the most popular (of mine that is) curtain wall video (Louver) in .avi format (best I could do last night in the midst of everything else going on).

There is now a Revit OpEd YouTube channel. It will take some time to get the existing ones ported over so hang in there. I've got much to learn about being part of YouTube. It was easy before, I just watched videos. Well I hope that this avenue is useful to people too!

P.S. Based on Craig's comment I'll clarify that I don't have any plan to stop using the Screencast site in favor of YouTube.
