Sun.com Treasures: Video Hither & Yon
You kind of have to know where to look, but there is a lot of interesting video on Sun's web sites. Here are a few I found recently scrounging around the site:
Science
Notes
are quick in-the-field overviews of technology done by Tony
Hillman.
Think 'James Burke Connections' updated for this century. Oh, here
another new science note on reference
architectures that just came out.
The sun.com News page
always has several featured video clips, often starring industry
luminaries or thought leaders. You can also find live and playback
webcasts from Sun conferences such as SunNetwork and JavaOne.
BigAdmin Extreme
is a 'techie news show' produced periodically. About 10 minutes into it
there's usually a good hands-on demo (confession: when I'm rushed,
which is usually, I skip the intro and go to the demo). Right now
they have one on Project Looking Glass.
The Network Computing online events
appear about every three months and include technology and product
overviews and often some interesting demos.
There's more interesting video around the site, which I'll post
pointers to as I find it. My wife (who's a TV producer) says some of
it's pretty cool, some looks too corporate, and some other bits even
look like they were plucked from the old Wayne's World sketches on
Saturday Night Live... but that's part of the charm, eh?
