A LibriVox Wiffiti thing

Posted by Cori on March 12th, 2010 — Posted in Utterly Random, Videos

Just found a funky Flash gadget which pulls Tweets on my chosen topics of “LibriVox”, “public domain” and “free audio” together into a nice dooflip. Would be awesome at conferences, where everyone’s got a hashtag in common!

Communication in modern culture

Posted by Cori on August 3rd, 2009 — Posted in Utterly Random, Videos

Another great video … this one is about the constant undermining of decisive speech by, like, you know, nambypamby fillers. I’d like it more without the audience noise, I confess, but that’s just a picky detail.

Fire and Ice by Robert Frost – dance & music mix

Posted by Cori on August 2nd, 2009 — Posted in * My Recordings, Drama and Poetry, Utterly Random, Videos

Every now and again I search YouTube to see what people are doing with LibriVox files or saying about the site. And found a really lovely video – this is a dance to a remix of Robert Frost’s poem Fire and Ice. You can hear my read along with lots of other LibriVoxers (it was a Poem of the Week, so remixers have lots of versions to choose from.)

From the Youtube description:

Cera Byer, the visionary behind Damage Control Dance Theatre and Shoebox Studio, dances to “Fire and Ice” from Manko Eponymous’ 2008 cd “Kaihealoha.” Original poem by Robert Frost, performed by librivox.org volunteers.
