greenmonktv on livestream.com. Broadcast Live Free

We had a great Energy and Sustainability show today – in case you were unable to make it, I recorded the video (above) and the chatstream (below):

16 : 27 MikeTheBee :
Hello Tom, It would be handy to have a date in the video to distinguish the ep being replayed. Leo Laporte on Twit.tv just has a Calender/Clock on a shelf behind him, it works well.

16?:?27 MikeTheBee :
Maybe up on the filing cabinet?

16?:?28 Tom Raftery :

16?:?28 MikeTheBee :

Hello Video/Audio oK
