  1. We were experiencing some sound issues with our HDV camera yesterday, hence the non-widescreen format today. I don’t mind it so much actually, as the webcam world is definitely not a widescreen one. Due to scheduling and limited equipment, we tend to shoot a lot of the Casual Fridays and field reports with our standard-def camera (DVX100a), which is why those are often in a 4:3 format as well.

    Webcams are fun! I have a webcam widget on my iBook that shows me the California coast…

    It’s always fun to check up on it from time to time.

    I dunno…

    I’m always California dreamin’

    Great and fun show today… thanks again!

  3. Salut,

    Very original.

    With all technologies which surround us, more and more saturate us, we should not forget that the most interactive exchange we can find is…a good old handshake.

  4. Hey Joanne,

    I liked the pronunciation show earlier this week, and so do all my English students here in Tokyo! I’ve been showing all of them the Dialect Coaching episode. It’s been good for practice and discussion, and who knows, you might just get a couple of new fans.

    Cheers

  13. BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU!

    Let’s see 30 million surveillance cameras in the USA to date and now you can spy on people on the net.

    I guess “celebrityhoodism”
    (coined a new phrase) has gone to everyone’s head.

  14. Oh yes, calling people from webcams can be fun, just as long as they aren’t camgirls…

  16. That was scary - especially once you started asking about his kids. That gave me the heebies. I thought it was interesting but really the only use I can see to public web cams is traffic patterns and surf.

  17. Don’t be fooled Jo:

    The best maple syrup is in Quebec … where we call it “sirop d’érable”.

  19. Web cams, cool…

    Either there’s something wrong with mine or maybe I’m just too fuzzy or both.

    I don’t mean to dis you Joanne but think you’re way more beautiful with your hair down. (Especially with new hairstyle!)

    So when’s the next square dance?

  22. I figure I’d just say this one more time. I liked Amanda but I like the direction RB has taken with JC. I really appreciate how you show you can have an entertaining and educational show without the potty mouth. Now I don’t have to screen RB before my son watches.

    I figure it won’t be long before JC hits it big and we’ll be saying hello to a new host.

  23. Hi Joanne,
    Funny show, I’ve got a web cam idea, The Joanne Colan all access cam. That would rock, ’cause you are adorable, well maybe someday… sniff… my dream will come true.

  25. good show!
    i just have one comment.
    could you please make the quicktime not start automatically upon loading the webpage?

    example: ze frank’s show.
    you click it to launch.

    its a minor quibble, but when loading several sites at a time the auto-start is a bit irritating.

    anyhoo.
    keep up the good work

    oh, and amanda’s got nothing on you, joanne.

    Hi Joanne,

    I enjoyed this. Your sense of humour is very like mine - I was thinking exactly the same thing about Small Dog Electronics!

  27. I really love the show, mainly because of Joanne. You (Joanne if you happen to be reading this) have a natural quality, professionalism and a genuine-ness that makes it appear that you are enjoying what you are doing and not mocking the guests or links that you’re highlighting. I only saw one or two episodes of RB v1 and I have to say there’s really no comparison. 2.0 is marvy!

  33. Wonderful show. Rocketboom at its best … celebrating the everywhereatonceness that has the become the Net.

    All that technology filtered through the old world charm of a lovely British forest nymph named Joanne … its becoming downright mythic …

    Joanne … you’re such a peach.

    Maple syrup …hmmmmmm … warm and licky-sticky right off the tummy ….

    Now there’s a show!

    It’d make Vermont even more famous!

    We love you in Texas ….!!

  35. Hey Ho Joanne–That was the smoothest, most relaxed show. It all seemed so natural. You are in your element. I hope you feel that way. You are certainly appreciated.

  37. Thanks for showing the earth moon sculpture in Richmond, VA. Seperate subject; Will the Maple Syrup be used on Pancackos? Or did I just date myself?!?

  38. OK - great show ..
    BUT
    I think in the general interests of child protection
    you should not have included
    the link through to the guy
    who has a web cam on his
    children’s bedroom.

    What’s this guy’s thinking ?
    Stupid, or something a little
    more worrying ?

    However editorial control over that segment was your
    responsibility.
    Deeply dissapointed.
    THINK BEFORE YOU POST.
