Our iTunes Video Podcast Updated
By Antonio D. French
After months of neglect, the Pub Def Video Podcast has been updated. Click here to subscribe in iTunes.
Following the release of the groundbreaking AppleTV, allowing us to watch video podcasts on our television — further eliminating the need to ever watch broadcast TV — we'll be updating our own podcast much more regularly. So subscribe today to have our new vids automatically download to iTunes on your computer and AppleTV in your living room.
And yes, it's free... But I think now is a great time to remind you about the costs associated with producing this site and these videos (video tapes, microphones, computer upgrades, gas – Oy vey!), and to remind you about that little "Make a Donation" button over there to the left. Hint-hint.Labels: PubDef_News, PubDef_TV

iPods for O'Brien?
By Antonio D. French
PubDef.TV Updated
By Antonio D. French
PubDef.TV has been updated with several videos from Tuesday's School Board meeting, including video of:
- Superintendent Diana Bourisaw's subtle response to numerous attacks from Board President Veronica O'Brien during the three-hour long meeting
- Board member Bob Archibald again complaining about the district budget even though he and O'Brien chose to skip last week's budget work session at which administrators walked the Board through every part of district's financial situation
- Board member Ron Jackson's sudden concern about the district's minority hiring and his demanding that Bourisaw, who has been with the district just a few months, address the issue immediately
- O'Brien explaining her new addition to the agenda, "an update from the Mayor's Office" (even though the Mayor Francis Slay's education liaison, Robyn Wahby, was in the audience, there were no "updates" this week)
- And O'Brien's report from the State Board of Education meeting last week
Also new on PubDef.TV is a place to advertise your business, campaign, event, or services. Contact us at advertising@pubdef.net for rate information.Labels: PubDef_TV
