Phil Torrone brings Make to Microsoft

Posted By: JD Lewin | Jul 7th, 2006 @ 4:37 PM
Picture this: It's a sunny Friday a little after lunch, and you're dreading the hike back to your desk and the piles of work that scared you towards the solice of your burrito in the first place. Typically this is the most depressing moment in a day at Microsoft. Once in a while though there's a glimmer of hope. Recently that glimmer took the form of Phil Torrone and Make Magazine presenting to anyone on the MS campus! Settle in and watch Phil spin a web of homebrew madness...

The longer I am watching this segment, the more mesmerized I'm becoming by the size of his Mac. That Mac is so big it should come with supersized fries. I think I may be starting to suffer from Mac-envy. I am certainly harboring feelings of inadequacy from the sheer gigantitude of that Mac.

Not sure if I understand your question about "with the idea of posting new content" on 10?  What are you trying to ask?

Y'all used to post content at 10am Pacific. That's what I thought the whole concept of 'On 10'' was. Did that change and I just missed it?

Yes, we announced awhile back that we're going to start publishing at a variety of times throughout the day.  Sometimes we'll even push more than one video in a day.

We are a *small* team and the everyday at 10 am was burning out the team.  We're still doing almost daily content, but sometimes leaving the really big pieces up longer so we can build more conversations around them.  Like the who we are piece or the XBox dashboard video.

The publishing timelines are very similar to what we do on Channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com) which is a sister site for 10.

Hope that clarifies things for you.

So those rooms have awesome cameras in the back. So why is this recorded with a handheld? Smiley

I've got a handful of questions that should explain my choice to go handheld:

1-Where/how do I get permission to use those cameras?
2-What format do they record to and how do I easily edit and publish that?
3-If I'm publishing a 320x240 web video, is it worth using professional equipment?

Handheld is quicker, cheaper, and ultimately easier.
