What’s Cookin’?

Viewer Participation
I think most of us agree that what makes JTV stand apart from broadcast television is the ability to interact with the broadcaster and the other viewers while a channel is live. And I have seen this evolve. We have seen viewers create artwork for lifecasters and some have created fan sites. [...]

Hiding Behind 1’s and 0’s and ECV Anticipation

Cowards

Fresh sliced leeks

I’ve got to ask. What does it say about a person that goes into a chat room, any chat room on any service, and makes rude, cruel, unflattering, vulgar, uncalled for comments about a person that is in that chat room? We’ve seen this happen and not just with the advent [...]

A “Mad Men” Marathon and Recess is Over

Vacation?

Gotta love Nicole44. She made a sign last week which I posted, but it was pretty small so she recreated it in a larger size and I captured it this morning. She’s always so perky and happy. Thanks Nicole44!

Was it a vacation or just a short-lived stint in [...]

Vacation Time!

Company’s Coming

Lasagna with Bechamel Sauce, Olive Bread with Roasted Garlic and Olive Oil and Salad with Home Made Vinaigrette
Ok, so it’s not really going to be a vacation. I have company coming for the weekend and am working Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I won’t be broadcasting. I will probably pop in [...]

Giving Birth to Tomorrow’s “Citizen Journalists” on JTV

Safety First

Chicken Tikka with Salad of Lettuce, Hearts of Palm, Cilantro, Cucumber and Tomatoes
I was a Girl Scout during a time when the uniforms were, well, there is no other adjective I can find to describe it .. Dorky.  Being a girl scout past elementary school was so far past being cool that it was [...]

Presidential Debate

Politics is Taboo

Osso Busso and Risotto recipes under these links
Politics and JTV don’t seem to be such a great match. I was looking for a stream with working audio this morning and decided to look into Dealer’s room. I have not been in there since he put up the Adult Content gate, [...]

Unintended Consequences, Network Challenges, JTV Blogs and What in the World IS Yorkshire Pudding Anyway?

Community

The End Cut of Roasted Prime Rib of Beef, White, Purple and Red Roasted Fingerling Potatoes with Cauliflower and Tomato Salad
The one clear thing that has risen to the top at JTV is community. Each channel seems to have it’s followers. What serendipity! To have a community of loyal viewers that [...]

A Different Path Tonight

Troubleshooting and Writing

Buenos Aires, Argentina — August, 2006
It’s 3:00am EDT and I am still awake.  I was out this evening and didn’t get a chance to tune into JTV before I began broadcasting, so I thought I’d take a look around after I finished.  I saw one interesting, but brief stream.  I believe it was [...]

ECV Comes Back!

Different Saturday

Church of the Sephlecur – Jerusalem
It’s good to have East Coast back. I tried to broadcast tonight when I got home from a day out and it was nearly impossible. Like last night, sound would not work. I decided to attempt to make it all work with my external iSight but [...]

Oh, there’s plenty of life on JTV — just not the kind of life I am interested in wasting my time watching. It’s not like I am forced into watching the horrible of the horrible on JTV, but with the new Next Channel feature that was [...]

Ugly
Let’s just get the worst of this morning’s JTV experience out of the way, shall we? I woke up bright and cheery this morning and thinking about our [...]

Fall Doldroms and a Nod to Grey’s Anatomy

What to Watch?
I have found that there is little inspiration around the network lately to get my creative juices flowing, and that disturbs me. Sure. I could go through, channel by channel picking apart the broadcasts limb by limb, but for what reason? It just a new medium with people trying their [...]

Tomorrow, I promise!

Record Broken

Pasta with Pancetta and Tomatoes and Sautee’d Zucchini

I can’t believe I am about to do this, but … I’e got nothing to write about. I took my channel on the road — to Starbuck’s and Barnes & Noble this afternoon. It was a strange experience being on camera, but not speaking. [...]

Education on JTV and Internet Connectivity Issues

MikeyFresh Teaches

A recommended highlight caught my eye this morning so I clicked away and was taken to a great Photoshop tutorial for people looking for help creating a banner for their channel. What great content on the network! There is so much potential for Justin.tv and as I mentioned in yesterday’s post, [...]
