Back for the Spring - HackCollege S4E1
Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by HackCollege After a long time. We are back with some video content for your utmost enjoyment. You read correctly, friends. Season 4 will be characterized by shorter, more intense episodes. Just like your college love life. (Happy Valentine's Day!)
Kelly Sutton and Chris Lesinski deliver you all of the latest and greatest student-specific news. We've been busy. Chris graduated last May and went to work for tosh.0 on Comedy Central. Kelly is still in school. He moved to Berlin last summer and got rid of everything he owned. Chris and Kelly are currently teaching a class on Web video at LMU. More about that in the coming weeks. Oh, and Scott Rowan, you ask? He was on the Ellen Show on Monday doing some magic.
If you haven't noticed in your Gmail inbox, Google rolled out their newest service: Google Buzz. What's it got to do with students? We're not quite sure. Let us know what you think in the comments. Apple has also been busy. They recently announced their iPad. We weighed in a post of our own. Barack Obama also announced in his State of the Union address that he'll be focusing on student loans in the future. "No one should go broke because they chose to go to college," Obama said.
This week is Internship Week at HackCollege. If you want a summer internship, you need to start getting your ducks in line now. Peruse our posts and get going. We also mention our new site, Discuss Campus, but you already knew about that.
If you liked this episode share it around with your friends. Tweet it. Facebook it. Buzz it. Or just email it. We can't do this show without you guys and we appreciate any help! See you next week!

your video host sucks... but, Kelly and Chris make some funny faces every 5-7 seconds while it stops and buffers again.
Like I said on Discuss Campus, you have the option to turn off Google Buzz.
You guys get paid, to make a video of you guys just making fun of new shit, while you drink.... what a life.
@that guy
I'll look into the problem. There's a chance that the video I uploaded is at too high of a bitrate and that's confusing a few things here and there. I'll post again once a new version is up.
Just a side note, it may not be you specifically. I recall it doing similar things when I was watching your CES coverage. I usually only watch the videos once so it could also be that too many people are hitting it at once while I'm trying to watch (you did post it relatively recently).
I second the problem with the video buffer.
Nice episode! Good to have you back around guys!
In my opinion Google Buzz is a great idea, that only needs to be adopted by users, so let's make it great!
On the other side the iPad rimes definitely with bad. It's just a iPhone for old people that cannot get an iPhone to work. Disappointed.
See you and keep on the good work guys!
I thought I'd address the issues with the video player mentioned in the comments.
It's not the fault of anyone who runs this show. Blip.tv is notorious for having a horribly choppy player, regardless of video quality. Sure, you may get the benefits of infinite time and having a video as large as you want, but getting a Blip video to play fluidly really depends on luck.
I second the kick ass community over at DiscussCampus.com
Glad to have you guys back in production.
