It's time for the third annual Super Happy Vlog House at the Ojai Digital Dojo. Saturday, February 7, 2009, 2pm-11pm.

Here's a Flickr slideshow of pictures from past Super Happy Vlog Houses...

Update: We had a blast! New photos added below...

What's a vlog house? It's a place where people geek out over audio & video, software, poetry, music, story-telling, television, web sites, new media and technology in general. We get together to share and learn, to have fun, to take a walk, get things done and break bread.

Last year there was quite a bit of interest in learning about Drupal. This year, we are planning a whole workshop around "Planning your next social media site". Each of workshop leaders have experience building Drupal and Wordpress sites.

Tyler Suchman asked if I'd help judge a YouTube video contest for Laurel Springs School for distance learning, which is based in here in Ojai. Over forty students from around the world participated by submitting a one-minute video essay about why home schooling is cool. There were several age categories and one grand prize winner. This was a great experience and i learned a lot about how to efficiently and carefully review so many videos, but also came to realize that the task was fundamentally no different than reviewing as many student term papers or projects.
