I've been building this network, um, called, um the Research Coopetative for years and, well, like, I haven't dared yet to go live with online video.

But the technology just keeps on getting better. I discovered U-Stream today. Here's the link.

But really, does anyone want to see my fuzzy silhouhette under a bright flourescent light with a backdrop of books and a messy desk?

I once saw a woman broadcasting solo from a path in the forest above Moon Lake in the mountains of Taiwan. I should go somewhere special like that with my computer. Like her. Or with someone special? Having two people on screen and doing an interview is inherently more interesting than one person doing a monologue, with no preparation.

I have a busy life - really - and no time to write a script and set up a perfect movie shoot. Wish I could set something up though.

So - that's it. If anyone would like to be a test audience for The Research Cooperative on U-Stream, please send me a note, and maybe we can arrange a time. Check the time zones here .

It won't be pretty, but it can be live, online, and in video.

I am willing to answer questions. Send me a list, and that can be my score...

Thanks, Peter
