browsetv slate episode 1.4

The opening slate for BrowseTV episode 1.4 (labeled "episode 4.0" in the screenshot, before I thought there'd be a second or third season.) BrowseTV was the live program I did on cable access from 2002-2004. I'd find interesting links on the internet, turn on a webcam, fire up an AOL chat room, and send video out of my laptop live to television. I'd spend half an hour showing the links that I found. Folks would come in the chat room and share their own. At the end of the episode, I'd make a list of all of the links from the show (along with a RealVideo stream of the show) available on the BrowseTV website. It was a grand ol' time.

Mind you, this was 2002, before videoblogging, before anyone was doing (mimicking?) this exact format on CNN or MTV or MadTV.

I just recently unearthed a bunch of old episodes of BrowseTV and expect to have them encoded and uploaded somewhere in the coming weeks.

I'm also working with the illustrious ElspethJane to bring the BrowseTV format back to the world. Expect deets soon. ;-)
