Yesterday I posted on Democracy player, and right now it's Technology Evangelist's preferred player for techies.  As we stated, it's a wee bit buggy and not for everyone yet, so how can you watch our HDTV content if you're not an uber-geek?

I ran across an application recently that will change the world.  I see massive media networks like NBC, CBC, BBC and others all stand by and watch as their business models are blown to bits. Everything we know about television, radio and media in general will be re-imaginedAs Jeff Jarvis recently posted quoting Rupert Murdoch, "A new generation of media consumers has risen demanding content delivered when they want it, how they want it, and very much as they want it." I'm throwing my hat in the ring and screaming to the world "it’s time, the revolution is here!"  So what is this hot app?  What will change the world??  What could make such a huge dent in the traditional media universe???  It’s simple -- Democracy.

The following is a list of equipment I am proposing for purchase by Technology Evangelist. Nothing is set in stone, so we may go down a completely different path, but the list below seems pretty darn good if you're in the market to acquire content in HD.

This week marked the end of Rocketboom's Ebay auction for a week's worth of end-roll advertising. The auction started at $500 on January 30th, climbed to $7,500 within two days, stalled at $14,999.99 on February 2nd for six days, then spiked near the auction end to close at a whopping $40,000.

Time to evangelize a bit and correct some mistakes from the original Panasonic HVX200 review.

We at Technology Evangelist have been trying to decide on what HD camera to buy.  Do we go with a pro grade format such as DVCPRO HDHDCam or D5 HD (uh, probably not D5 HD), do we go with a consumer grade format such as HDV or one of those nifty cameras that records direct to MPEG 4 HD?

Rocketboom, the tremendously popular daily videoblog starring Amanda Congdon, has decided to accept advertising within their daily news stories. They report on a wide range of topics, from news to culture. They are conducting an Ebay auction for their first week's commercials -- bids have already exceeded $10,000 with more than seven days to go!
