St(r)eaming Coffee

I got to hang with Tozie and Clint today in a coffee shop. It was mostly a random occurrence which made it even better. I knew Clint was going to be in the area but we hadn’t set anything in stone. One phone call and a twitter later, the three of us were streaming our geeky convo via uStream.

I love how easy it’s getting to connect with people locally and extend that experience to anyone. For us, we can utilize all the gear we use normally on a day-to-day basis. We don’t need special equipment to connect to magic satellites for a feed or lug around big cameras. Everything we need is in our pockets these days.

I’m especially proud that I was able to shoot good photos and post them right away - very little processing. One of the things I’m trying to work on is being quick about this. I actually edited and posted these photos from the coffee shop before I left. The only thing I was slow about was this post :P

Granted, maybe the planets were aligned correctly so everything went smoothly. Be it luck or skill, I’ll take either ;)
