LispCast is a series of screencasts of Common Lisp development.
The goals and aims of LispCast:
- To enhance the code quality and clarity of existing Lisp programmers.
- By engaging the community in discussion over the common experience of watching an application come into existence
- By exposing programmers to other styles of programming
- By introducing programmers to libraries available to everyone
- By teaching principles of modern programming practices
- To introduce Common Lisp to those programmers who are interested.
- By providing simple examples of software development, from the rough beginnings to the final touches on the code
- By explaining some of the syntax and semantics of Common Lisp
- By exposing the viewer to software written in a Lispy style
- To gain acceptance of Common Lisp as a modern, relevant language in the programming community.
- By providing visual proof that Lisp can be used for modern application development
- By showing that the modern programming methodologies work well (and sometimes better) with Common Lisp
- By giving evidence of the power and expressivity of Common Lisp
To these aims, LispCast will be an episodic video series focusing on the development of one piece of software at a time over several episodes, to show how a Lisp program evolves over time. It is intended that the videos be watched in order, though they will be watchable in any order.
The production of these videos will follow these principles:
- All material is licensed under the Creative Commons License
- Each episode will educate and promote the Common Lisp community
- LispCast will use modern pedagogical techniques to assure the value of their transmission
- LispCast will rely on the feedback of its viewers and from the Common Lisp community at large to adapt its content and message
- LispCast will engage in continual, incremental improvement throughout its running time

Have you heard of Viddler.com? I think it would work well as a way to syndicate your video blog as it has timed comments and tags to help better define longer content.
I’m not exactly sure what I’m asking here, but I happened across your site and immediately added it to “miro” (a podcast downloader/player/tivo-esque thing). Miro says it can download your videos fine, but they’re not in a format it understands well, so the descriptions and such might be wonky.
And, indeed, they are. Again, I’m not sure what exactly I’m asking here, but would it be possible to make your feed Miro-grokkable? I assume they have some specs or something in order to do that.
No huge issue either way, but it might open your audience a bit. It looks like it works with wordpress already, but this stuff is a bit foreign to me. I found out a little here:

Thanks!
