Saw a link to this on Boing Boing

If you've got a podcast grabber like iPodder, aim it at

And you should grab a .3gp video, shot with the Nokia 7610 cameraphone, that I shot in North Beach, San Francisco a couple of weeks ago while waiting for Laurenn McCubbin to pick me up in her little chariot. .3gp is viewable in a current version of Quicktime -- older versions will probably call out for the .3gp plugin.

Obviously, this isn't going to be much use if you have the iPodder-iTunes-iPod direct filling set up. But it illustrates how easily you can shoot video, dump it into a file and broadcast it.

Thanks to the Bad Signallers who hacked the script together for me. I take back everything I ever said about you people.

Similar to something I suggested nearly two weeks ago. With the right back-end infrastructure, and a sliver of software on the phone, this kind of thing becomes semi-automatic.

Someone should make that happen. Someone should.
