Hyperlinked History- Explosive Information

Great Western Dragon — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:56:45 -0400

Hyperlinked History is back with a new episode in the continuing online documentary series!

Join Daniel Messer, The Faceless Historian, and go on a journey from the depths of space right into your own computer. Along the way you'll play a game, read a mystery, and get a little bit mystical. It's a circus of history and you're invited!

Check out the latest episode.

Update: I just confirmed that the video issue on iPods is fixed, so you can now sync the video to your iPod, iPod Touch, Nano, or whatever else works through iTunes. If you'd like to go that route, feel free!

Hyperlinked History Returns!

Great Western Dragon — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 10:39:57 -0400

Hyperlinked History is back and in living colour! (Most video is nowadays.)

The first episode of Hyperlinked History is available online and on iTunes for your viewing pleasure! This time, join the Faceless Historian as he takes you on a tour of history from an Indian mathematician to modern aircraft. You'll meet slightly insane geniuses and get a little electrified as you lift off with Soaring Numbers.

Note: I'm told that iTunes is having issues syncing the show to iPods. I'll see if I can figure out what's going on. However, the show plays just fine within iTunes, so you can still watch it that way!

Hyperlinked History- Explanations Part Three: The Historians by The Faceless Historian

Great Western Dragon — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 00:39:47 -0400

Welcome to the final episode of the three part Explanations series! This time we cover, what else, the historians and you'll meet three people who influenced my views on history and how it should be presented. There's a short bit at the end regarding the upcoming Hyperlinked History documentary series which will continue to appear here on the LISNews Netcast Network and the Hyperlinked History website.

Hyperlinked History- The Video

Great Western Dragon — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:40:50 -0400

When I first conceived the idea for Hyperlinked History and the whole Faceless Historian thing, I wanted it to be an online television show. At the very least I wanted to make an online documentary series with video, music, and the whole bit. So I shot a couple of test things and edited them together. Then I deleted that crap because it was terrible.

A year later, I have skills and equipment I didn't originally possess. So I'm excited to announce that Hyperlinked History will be moving into the realm of online video!

The opening of the show is available online as a sort of teaser/trailer and you'll be able to keep up with the programme both here on LISNews and on the Hyperlinked History site. Episodes should start going online around the end of August, so stay tuned!

Hyperlinked History - Explanations Part Two: The Scientists by The Faceless Historian

Great Western Dragon — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 01:21:17 -0400

Our special three part series, Explanations, continues this week with part two, The Scientists! Join me as I talk about two scientists who changed my views of the world, and the views of millions of other people too. Beyond that, I'll also talk about how what they said, and how they said it, applies to librarians and our profession.

Hyperlinked History - Explanations Part One by The Faceless Historian

Great Western Dragon — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 00:42:54 -0400

Hello, everyone and welcome to the first in a series of three special episodes of Hyperlinked History! For the next three episodes, we're going to do something a little different. I'm going to talk about seven people who influenced myself, my work, and my writing. More than that, we'll see how what they say can apply to libraries and library staff. Because these people, in a very real way, explained the world to me, I call this three part series "Explanations."

So join me as we'll meet two teachers, a couple of scientists, two historians (natch), and a nun. This week, we meet the teachers.

Hyperlinked History - High On Life by The Faceless Historian

Great Western Dragon — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:07:23 -0400

Hi, hello, and how the heck are you! Welcome back to the annals of history and another trip from one side of the past to the other. Granted we'll be taking a scenic route as we discuss hedonistic Greeks, logical Franciscans, a heretical Pope, an unfortunate construction project, Polish kings, Russian Tsars, and Swiss scientists. We'll talk about the meaning of existence, the secret of life, and then we'll just drop out.

You don't need artificial euphoria when you can just get High On Life.

Hyperlinked History - Here, There, and Everywhere by The Faceless Historian

Great Western Dragon — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 01:10:10 -0400

Time for another wild ride through history! This time we begin in Ancient China with a repeating crossbow, explore more northerly kingdoms, invent modern writing, deal with pirates, have a couple of wars, deal with a monarch, meet a legend, and then just maybe we'll give peace a chance.

See, I told you it'd be a heck of a ride. After all we've got to go Here, There, And Everywhere.

Note: My computer recently recovered from a rather nasty crash that took out the video card and an external drive. Because of that, there are a couple of sound glitches in the episode. My apologies for this and the computer situation is currently being addressed... with a hammer.

An Interview With The Faceless Historian

Great Western Dragon — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:46:26 -0400

On one of my previous shows, I talked about Ignite Phoenix and the whole Ignite thing. Among other things, I said it'd be good for librarians to get into something like this because, in five minutes, you can tell a huge group of people all about your library and/or whatever else you're passionate about.

Dani Cutler, a local Phoenix area podcaster, is working on a series of interviews with people who've presented at Ignite Phoenix. She and I sat down at one of the greatest coffee shops in the Valley of the Sun and talked about libraries and the funny things that happen in them, history, Hyperlinked History, and presenting at Ignite.

So if you have the interest, you can hear my alter ego speak with the lovely and intelligent Dani Cutler over on the Ignite Phoenix Podcast site.
