Thane: I think it would be worthwhile, and I hope it will be done. I think the video image quality is good enough, but I wish the audio were better. Is there any possibility of improving the audio quality of the recordings that I expect will be made at next March's gathering? Would it have helped, in this example, if the microphone had been placed a little farther from the speaker's mouth? Or was the problem just reverberation from the walls and ceiling of what I imagine was a small room? (I am far from expert in these matters!) Alan Thane Plambeck wrote:

I'm experimenting with the possibility of uploading videos of talks given at the Gathering for Gardner to YouTube.

I'd be interested in what people think of the video quality of this talk fragment from a 2006 presentation by Dana Richards at G4G7 titled "Martin Gardner: The Tulsa Years."

The video starts with a letter to Santa that Martin wrote when he was "eight or nine" years old. The whole video clip is about 5 minutes long.
