While looking for a backup copy of a corrupted file, I went through every drive I have looking at every video file, I stumbled across this video Johann made last October.
He has been doing a series of these quick weekly videos highlighting endangered species and the science we talk about that he thinks are especially interesting or cool in a video podcast format he calls Johann’s Science Week. We are negotiating his own, tightly monitored, blog when I resurrect heupel.com as a family portal.
felt like standing up and belting out your favorite Sea Shanty in a crowded classroom?
My co-blogger from the Other95%, Kevin – who is also a member of the Deep Sea Boys who we hope to see make the circuit of Sea Shanty festivals this summer – essentially did just that as he led a session at Science Online ’09 on blogging from the field.
The idea, I believe, was to provide some idea of the level of distraction often present on a ship or field location, a lesson I got a bit of a taste for having “live-blogged” a few posts from the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster.
All I know is I would have loved to have been in the room when Kevin started dancing around with a deep sea angler fish puppet and belting out
Haul away you rolling kings
Heave away, haul away
Haul away youll hear me say
Were bound for South Australia
Please tell me someone got video or audio!!
(for those not familiar with Sea Shanties, Roger McGuinn has the lyrics and an MP3 of the Southe Australia available)
