Eleanor’s first stint as a citizen journalist

I’ve been doing a bit of citizen journalism lately (Dan Gillmor’s trying to shake out the Drupal bugs at Bayosphere; so far, my video there hasn’t shown up). Today, the tables are turned.

Citizen journalist Eleanor Kruszewski, an incredibly smart technologist who just began a new job at Yahoo!, interviewed me at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco during the Supernova conference on June 22, 2005 about my new book "Darknet: Hollywood’s War Against the Digital Generation." Eleanor actually read the book, agreed to conduct an interview on the spot, and, most important, we had some fun during the 30-minute sit-down.

Here are the two versions on Ourmedia: the somewhat higher-quality 130MB QuickTime video and the faster-download 85MB MPEG-4 video. It might be easier to download one of these to your hard drive rather than clicking it to play.
