Coaxing my inner geek I have been able to do a lot more than I ever thought I would with technology. Jung promised if we go to our less developed functional area it can bring profound bliss like opposites attracting, I wouldn't go that far. Technical delays still make me think about what I'd really like to have. Sometimes I even think delays are programmed in so, we'll make another purchase i.e. the purchase of my netbook, digital video camera, voice recorder and flip camera. You know how it works.
This summer, I'd been doing this back and forth again with video on my handheld. Only now it bumped right against another new game inspired by Teddy Roosevelt “Do what you can with what you have where you are” .
Despite the sneering inferences of the young and the restless- you know who I mean, I thought if I could just get the production videos playing on my blackberry. If only....
Long story short, open source converters exist online (http://bit.ly/ihM81) but even better call BrianS at RIM. When I had tried my carrier with no result, I was transferred to RIM (http://bit.ly/dZR7d) and spared the obligatory first round of customer service by a swifter, above-the-norm standard evident there. Immediately, I was routed to someone who modestly referred to his 5+ years of video experience as limited (how refreshing). He stepped me through the conversion on the desktop manager and followed up with a written outline. As a result, I'm streamlined. Emails flow into the same device I have my production videos on and both can be accessed in transit. Woohoo happy camper, thanks Teddy for the inspiration and BrianS for making it real.
