NODE102


Click here to view the video.
We’ve been working on the NODE101 concept (basically a world-wide network of media centers or “nodes”) for four or five months now and this week things have begun to really take off. On Monday, Markus posted this video about it. Then on Tuesday, we talked about it during the video conference. Wednesday the conversation moved to the Videoblogging group (Markus has a good summary here) and today, thanks to more sponsorship from Outhink and some donated space from Jump-Start Performance Co., I spent my first full day setting up NODE102 here in San Antonio (NODE101 will be in New York City) NODE101 :: SAN ANTONIO (sorry – we changed the naming convention). Check out node102.org the NODE101 wiki for more info (won’t be live until sometime Friday, 8/26).

    I once knew a fella named Micheal
    Who was a vidblogging disciple.
    He reaped what he sowed
    And opened a node
    Now isn’t that simply delightful?

    Congrats Verdi!

    You are one amazing fella, Verdi. Congratulations. May Node 102 have a long and deep effect / existence. Proud to have met you.

    We are witnessing History!

    And to think we are here to see it!

    You won’t take any dumps there will you?

    Just shows that someone with vision can get cutting edge stuff going almost anywhere!

    This might be Node 102. I wonder what the world will be like when they launch Node 1002 or even Node 10,002?

    Congratulations! Don’t fall into one of those beautiful canals that course through San Antonio.

    A Spanish TV station made news by being number 1 in the NYC Nielsen ratings. Node 102 will certainly (hopefully) have a Latino flavor.

    Incredible. It’s amazing how folks have these really cool ideas and then they just take the next step and carry them through. That’s the difference between thinking of success and having it. Way to go, Verdi!

    Hmmm…what can I say that hasn’t already been said? Oh yeah, Jump-Start Performance Co. is the greatest. And so are the NODES.
