Fr. Seraphim Visits iJim’s Neighborhood
I received an email earlier today from Dr. Jim. He asked me to post a little something about the fact that Fr. Seraphim (of Catholic:Under the Hood fame) spoke to Dr. Jim’s podcasting class. What made this encounter a bit more special is the fact Doc Jim used a service I’d not encountered before - Ustream.TV.
I went to take a look at the Ustream.TV website to learn more about what it is. This is what they told me:
What is Ustream.TV?
The engine that powers LIVE streaming
With Ustream.TV you can:
- WATCH - LIVE Concerts, Shows
- MEET - Video and Speed Date
- CONNECT - Conferences, Meetings
- BROADCAST LIVE - Concerts, Shows, Around-the-town
I still don’t quite get it, but hey, I’m about as sharp as a bowling ball, so…
If you want to see the video, visit Doctor J’s (Dr. Jim’s) blog ‘How About This’ (one of many I suppose) and give the video a once over.
DJ Doctor J (that’s Dr. Jim’s rap handle) mentions the video “accidently” cuts off prematurely. I have it from good authority that he was forced to edit it due to the fact that Fr. Seraphim breaks out into some hardcore gangsta rap near the end of his presentation. This, of course, had to be edited out. This may just be a vicious rumor - but you decide.
I haven’t had the time to preview the video, so enter at your own risk.

I haven’t been able to get the video to work. Alright Fr. S, what did you do to it?

Okay, I finally got to see some of the video. Nice talk by Father, but I’m not impressed by UStream.TV. It cuts out, the audio stops, the stream jumps. I slide it back, and that section may play right the second time, so it’s not the video.
And it made it look like Fr. Seraphim has a ponytail. Oh wait, he does.
