Live Streaming

Live from Dexter!!! Up next? watch events that have already been streamed.

WE DID!!!! The live cast stream of both the Career Exploratory and the Town Council meeting was a huge success. For those who did not know, the Town Council was streamed over this blog web site, the Town website, and TheDailyMe.com. Many thanks goes out to Judy Craig Wilbur for all the help and support in getting this project off the ground. The only draw back was problems with the sound. I think this problem has been resolved with a purchase of a wireless mic system that I can integrate with my laptop.

A comment was left on my last blog about viewers having the ability to visit a library of previously recorded events. I am working on a couple different options to help meet that request. IF we can pull it off, viewers will have two options for viewing previously recorded events. The first will be to watch them online. Simply click on the menu in the bottom right area that plays the video, then click on view show page. The second option will involve individuals visiting the Abbott Memorial Library and signing out a DVD of the event from the media section. I have not officially approached the library with this idea, but will see what I can do. Keep in mind that neither option is presently up and running at this time. The online options will most likely be available first, as it will be the easiest for me to implement.

Just a reminder that the "Meet the Candidates Night" will be at the Universalist church in Dexter, this Friday, October 17, at 6:30 PM. I encourage all of you to come and meet those who want to represent you at the local and State level. I am also looking for people who would like to help me run the cameras during some events. If you like working with video, sound, or pictures, and would like to learn how to help make this video streaming a bigger success, please contact me.
