 20:02:36  dave ->  yup... that's me :)
 20:02:55  dave ->  there's 30 minutes of very compelling video on operator11
 20:02:58  mizmercer ->  This layout is not userfriendly.
 20:03:22  mizmercer ->  I think a page without sidebars, but with chat room on right, and video on left would be better?
 20:04:44  mizmercer ->  Dave's fluttering in and out
 20:04:56  mizmercer ->  http://mizmercer.edublogs.org/2007/06/03/bar-camp-sacarmento/
 20:05:00  mizmercer ->  my post on bar camp

 20:07:00  mizmercer ->  go for it dave
 20:07:46  mizmercer ->  So word is speech recognition in Vista is the best according to what I discovered  there.
 20:07:53  mizmercer ->  Pick away Dave
 20:07:55  mizmercer ->  Lost Jenn
 20:08:16  JohnSchinker ->  I am so lost. Shesh. I took an hour off, and you reinvented the world while I was gone....
 20:08:17  mizmercer ->  Ah Dave, that's just an upper lip scratch!
 20:09:04  mizmercer ->  Okay, is the chat here or on skype?
 20:09:48  mizmercer ->  No sound from Jen
 20:12:02  mizmercer ->  That would be nice.
 20:12:12  mizmercer ->  Kinda messy getting stuff together at Barcamp
 20:12:26  mizmercer ->  No audio from Jen

 20:18:11  mizmercer ->  doh!
 20:18:16  mizmercer ->  THanks John.
 20:18:26  JohnSchinker ->  They're not streaming, and no one is in the skypecast, unless they're just not saying anything
 20:18:48  mizmercer ->  Well, I couldn't figure it out because I was seeing the video. I'm an idiot
 20:19:18  JohnSchinker ->  I don't think anyone else is still in this chat. But there is a Meebo chat on edtechtalk.com. That confuses me, too.
