feed me: pdx: clair and al, part 4

Part 4 of Clair and Al's Portland date is up on feedmeshow.com and feedmeshow.blip.tv. There's some great banter, some side-by-side cooking, and some gorgeous mushrooms. The ep actually posted yesterday, but my Internet connection decided to take President's Day off, so whatever.

The big news, though, is technical: both hi-res web and iPhone/iPod-compatible versions of the latest episode are now available on the blip.tv page! This is huge, as iPhone-compatibility was one of the project's original goals. Here's how to get them:

- iPhone/iPod:
Just point Safari on that sexy handheld to http://feedmeshow.blip.tv, and it'll do the rest. Easy as cake!



- Web hi-res:
This remains a bit buried, while I'm testing it out. It's a 2048kbps MP4, if you want to get technical about it. If you have the bandwidth at your place of web, it'll yield a finer-grained picture than the standard Flash and Quicktimes you know and love. Click the "This episode's permalink" link in the lower-left corner of the show's blip.tv homepage. This will bring up the single-episode player page. There, you can choose to watch the episode as "web high-resolution":



All this is possible through the magic of blip.tv -- magic that they rolled out in late November, but, again, whatever. It's like Douglas Adams said about the difference between a comedian and a comic. A comedian knows the thing to say right then, while a comic thinks of it four hours later, when he's back at home, the moment long gone. Thanks, Douglas -- you put me in good company.

Eat well,
Adam

iphone goodness and assorted hackage

Thanks to Ning's latest release, feedmeshow.com has iphone support! Just point your shiny pocket appliance to http://feedmeshow.com/m and soak in the mobile goodness. Well, not total goodness -- it doesn't do much in the way of video display, but we'll get that elsewhere.

Current technical issues:
- still working on a fix for the ability to email photos, etc. Any Feeders out there aces with Postfix?
