[oak perl] Corrected reference + Maypole question

[Mark Theodoropoulos]

Those at the meeting who were puzzled by my reference to the 
"screencasting" article mentioned "in George's latest posting" to the list 
were quite correct: it wasn't in a posting to oakland.pm, by George or 
anyone else, but rather in the latest  O'Reilly Network Newsletter. The 
eight-minute "movie" is quite a delight, especially since it inadvertently 
proves a point or two in my rant. ;) Here's the blurb & link:

Heavy Metal Umlaut: The Making of the Movie

Jon Udell explains the process of making a documentary screencast, taking
a look at the various screencast genres and examining the potential
significance of this medium.

Unrelated, has anyone played with Maypole? Has anyone actually used it for 
any kind of production system and lived to tell the tale?

Finally, *completely* unrelated, and only of interest to a small subset of 
those who suffered a certain notorious almost-lightning talk last year, my 
wife & I were in LA over the weekend, and spent Saturday afternoon visiting 
with Larry & Annie Schoenberg, son and daughter-in-law of Arnold. I can now 
confirm from personal experience my contention that Arnie's children show 
no signs of having been raised by a madman. I can also report that there is 
something distinctly surreal about zipping down to a Pacific Palisades 
burger joint in a Prius piloted by a mischiefmaking former HS math teacher 
whose Dad was (a) the most influential composer of the last century and (b) 
born in 1874.

Enjoyed the presentations, conversation, and new faces.
