Your Technology Tutor - new website presence & Facebook page for technology lessons

I am pleased to announce that I have revamped and launched a new online home for my non-Casablanca, technology lessons, articles & tips.  You'll find this at the URL: http://yourtechnologytutor.com/

 

This is not a departure from my continually growing resources for Casablanca colleagues both on this blog and on my Casablanca Expert website.  Rather this is a virtual place where folks can go to learn all kinds of tips and operations that will compliment their work on their Casablanca video editor.

For those colleagues on Facebook - you will also find a new Facebook Page where I will also be sharing these new resources:  Chet Davis Tech Tutor on Facebook.

Videomaker Magazine's Silver Anniversary

Videomaker magazine celebrates it's Silver Anniversary next month, 25 years since it's first issue. Whether or not you are a subscriber or visit the robust Videomaker website for all their on-line content - there is a 'fun' article that looks back at the topics the magazine covered at 25 years, 15, 10 and 5 years ago. 

It seems like a _long_ time ago when I was carting around a large, full sized VHS camcorder but the first year of Videomaker magazine was debating the format wars between the primary formats back in 1987:

"The format war - Beta vs. 8mm vs. VHS-C, etc., was big our first few years. In fact, we had three bi-monthly issues in a row dedicated to camcorder buyer's guides - each issue featuring a different format: VHS-C in June, 8mm (Video8) in August, and VHS with two Beta cams in October 1987. We featured 58 camcorders in all, with an average price of $1646"
