[Coco] Video at the CoCoFest!

I guess that person would be me.  As I had lived in Hawaii during part of the '60s, a recent nostalgia online trip brought
to my attention that a resident of Kona, Hi had an online webcam of his view of the ocean from his house.  He also
mentioned setting up a mobile cam to record part of the 2008 Ironman event.  Apparently to go mobile, he uses a
laptop with a pc card broadband device in the pcmcia slot. I'm guessing that he is able to pay the $70/month charge
for its use by taking out only a month's service  for special events like ironman.  He can use a tripod setup for the
larger camera, but also can switch to a 'hat cam'.  Joe Trent is the name, and his porch cam is interactive, in that
the viewer can shift the camera's position and magnification when it's operational.

He is also the webmaster at www.konafriends.com, so I'd suggest contacting him for more details to see if GCC 
might be interested in a similar thing to do.   I don't know if anyone on the list read my original post and took a look
at the ironman event.    Ironman was little mentioned in the media, but was televised professionally, to be shown
sometime in December.  The top 5 finishers were mentioned, none from the U.S.A.      -ph

To all 
I don't remember who brought up the subject or if anyone replied to the person. 
They asked about streaming a video at the fest. Well I for one don't have the equipment or the knowledge on how to do this. 
I don't recall anyone at the Glenside meeting say they know how to do it either. 
So. If someone wants to set up a video of the Fest and/or seminars, you are welcome to do it. 
I'll try to be involved enough to keep it running, but you will need to set up a small group to do it your selves. 
Can we put it on a servo so the viewer can move it around? 
Email me and we will discuss it.
