Online video content for B-active
Youth in Bath & North East Somerset have been busy making movies!
B-active is now providing rich content via an integrated media module, showcasing video and audio clips created by young people and managed by the website's administrators. Digital video in any format - taken from camcorders or mobile phones - can be uploaded to their content management system, converted to a web-friendly format and then appear within an embedded player on the site.
Launched to promote youth candidates for the UKYP elections, the B-active media area now contains videos made by young people about local services on offer throughout Bath & North East Somerset.

Mike hits Oz and New Zealand
So the adventures of founder Mike Newing and his amazing round the world adventures continue.
Mike and Lynne headed north up Australia's east coast with trips to the Blue Mountains, Sydney (controversially described as "a bit of an urban sprawl"), Port MacQuerie (dolphins everywhere), Byron Bay (rain, rain) and Brisbane (more rain). After an emotional goodbye with some of the locals (see pic), it was time to catch the short flight to Auckland and head for the great outdoors of New Zealand.
NZ has taken the breath away with it's lakes, mountains, wildlife and a close encounter with a whale and despite some fairly wet weather, they're loving it. Although Lynne banned Mike from attending an international cricket match he wanted to go to.
Next stop Fiji, then Singapore, then.....errr....Heathrow......

Will Windows 7 make up for Vista?
Windows 7 - Microsoft's beta version of the OS that will take over from Vista - has some promising features (easier ways to set up home networks, interact with external devices and a better toolbar to use along the bottom of the screen) but is essentially taking elements from the Apple iphone and making them available for use on a pc.
These links make interesting reading on the subject:
