I mentioned in one of my previous posts, that one of the reasons why I want to run for Town Council is to help bring Dexter into the modern age when it comes to technology. I also said that I wanted to help make our local government more open and transparent. One such was is to use live streaming to broadcast events around town. In todays technology centered economy, this would be a great way of disseminating information to those, who because of time constraints or prior engagements, cannot make the meetings in person. For those who do not know what live streaming is, it is simply having live video being broadcast over the Internet.
I have decided to incorporate this form of media into my blog, and hope to stream different events from around Dexter. You can see the schedule of planned events that I hope to stream on the right side of the screen and the video itself is shown on the left. Simply push the play button at the time of the scheduled events and viola. the video will start streaming. It is the ultimate is reality TV.
At the moment, I am planning on streaming the Meet the Candidates night on October 16, and with any luck I will stream the Career Exploratory day at the Tech Center on October 9. I encourage you all to mark your calender and tune into these events. If these work out the way I think they will, I hope to have other local events streamed on a regular basis. For those of you who miss the live events, I hope to have a schedule where I can replay them at a later time. Either way, you the taxpayer, remain more informed and have something to base your opinion on when deciding on who to vote for.
If you have an event that you would like to see streamed, simply record it and drop me an email. I will not promise that all requests will be streamed, but I will do my best to work it into the schedule.
Tune in for future developments!!

I think this is a great idea!!!! It would be great if you could set up a library so a person could go online and watch the videos at will. I think your going in the right direction...
AWESOME!! The idea of having a library of past events is a great idea. Thank you for your input. I'll research it and let you all know if/when we can do it. Keep the comments coming!
