Chaordix Promo Video on Crowdsourcing

Posted by gordonmcdowell in startups on November 12th, 2009

I’ve created a corporate video for Calgary based Chaordix which briefly describes crowdsourcing.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

The creation of this video was an example of client fast feedback loops enabled by posting iterations of a video to a private video host. While working on each iteration of the video, the previous iteration was uploading to Blip.TV.

Prior to upgrading to a 64-bit OS (Win7×64), there was a noticeable hit in PC performance while simultaneously rendering and editing. But now with 7 GB RAM, and 4 CPU, I can edit, render (and of course upload) at the same time. Good workflow.

MJ Lecture: Buying Money

Posted by gordonmcdowell in startups on May 26th, 2009

Shortly after the economy tanked, when people lost the spring in their step and life’s soundtrack became an endless loop of O Fortuna… MJ gave a lecture.

“Your landlord doesn’t want your stock, Safeway doesn’t want your stock. They like cash.” -MJ

I used CastingWords.com to transcribe this video. They’re quite excellent.
