Just a quick post to announce - with great fanfare and glorious excitment - that I’m joining the good people at Automattic full time.
Automattic are the folks that make WordPress, (the blogging software that powers these very words), BBPress and Gravatar, among other goodies. I’ve been working closely with them recently on a series of [...]
Yesterday I was whining on Twitter about how I’d had the tiniest little problem with my screencasting weapon of choice Screenflow (if you’re on a mac, just buy it now).

I’ve just finished and shared my video for the awesome dataportability workgroup:
DataPortability - Connect, Control, Share, Remix from Smashcut Media on Vimeo.
Enjoy!
UPDATE: Smashcut Media has been retired. I’m moving on to fresher pastures - broken links galore below.

I have a screencast double-bill for you today, over at Tubetorial.
Parts five and six of our 7 Must Have Plugins for Wordpress series cover a smart, easy to use video aggregation script and a very effective way to change your permalink structure without losing all of your traffic.
If the old way of learning ever had any value, it’s certainly starting to show it’s limitations now. In the following video (by the same guy who brought you the cool Web 2.0 video, Michael Wesch) we get a very compelling view of the way that students learn today, and also the myriad ways [...]
If you are or aspire to be a professional screencaster, putting together killer screen recordings that look great on your website - or those of your clients - you are definitely going to want to check out Camtasia Studio 5, from Techsmith.
And if for some reason you need further encouragement to shell out $299 for [...]
The Jing Project, TechSmith’s free-to-download, cross platform screen capture and screencasting tool, has just received some welcome upgrades that make it even easier for anyone to get started in the world of screen recording.
