video updates and day-end wrap up

I just checked the link for the videos and regrettably it was only set for a live feed. I will try to get Leslie's help in am to make that available 24/7 . . . right now he's making his way back from the dinner boat cruise. Great Toronto evening on the harbour . . . lots of conversation, swapping stories, sharing knowledge, eating good food. A little metaphor surfaced early in the night, though, that captured seems to capture some of the issues flow around OA and fee based access . . .
we were each given a drink ticket when boarding the vessel, and cashing mine in for a brew I was offered a choice between a few domestics and a Bud . . . returning to the bar a little later in the evening for a 2nd round I found that "cash" allowed me access to a number of European and other premium brews ?!
Talking with a few colleagues about the upgrade options through the pay model, it seemed to remind us of the various journal business models described over the course of the day's session!). I was tempted to ask Leslie why the evening wasn't full OA, not to say the article ~ I mean, beer ~ wasn't enjoyable (Steam Whistle is a fine Toronto brew) . . . but then I recalled his earlier comment from the day that he wasn't against OA with a little pay here and there. Maybe he was prepping us for the night ahead?! [;-)
