wow, you really put some effort in that mahalo page. looks great, kudos. and thanks for the webcast info
Thanks Buddy! Well I can't take all the credit, my ladyfriend and I watched the Burke episode and created the page together at the same time...Burke is very romantic. We both work for Mahalo, but this experiment was done off the clock.
I have always liked this model of presenting videos on the Internet. A 10 minute clip followed by links to all related within the clip. Since mahalo is a hand built archive we linked to internal archives, and also came across interesting topics that still need to be researched and built. Very fun building these pages, that page took us about two hours.
Every time I complete a page I wonder if in a parallel universe I would have spent those two hours watching 40 minutes of television programming and 120 minutes of advertising while drooling on the couch. Kids these days eh.
(If you liked the Burke page, check out the page we made for South Park's Randy Marsh)
