I can't make it, and was thinking the same thing.  ("Why don't we do
video casts?")  I was at Máirín's last presentation and would like to
see this one.

I actually have a "flip video" video camera that is consumer quality.
I would argue for posting a YouTube type of video, it is very
passable.  You can record -> upload/done.  That plus a tripod will get
you by for video blogging

Of course the better the equipment setup and effort expended, the
better the results.
