Tango – keeping it real

Before you scroll down to the photos of Oscar and Teuila may I interest you in some Tango?

This is what I love doing and after two and a half years I am finally getting the hang of it. This video shows two Argentine teachers who are doing workshops in Auckland 18 to 24 September 2008:

Their dance is not a flashy stage style but the spirit of Tango that you might see at a dance is here. There is great dynamic as they develop their connection and the moves become more complex and daring.

Today I leaned why social bookmarking is cool – you can access your bookmarks from any computer, you can sort them and select them using tags and they are public so you can benefit from other people’s collections of tagged bookmarks on topics you also use.  I’m tagging videos and pages about howto blog at the moment, using the tags ‘howto’  and ‘blogs’ on the platform del.icio.us

It’s very easy to download delicious from google and save it as a button on your internet browser. www.nzherald.co.nz uses this bookmark.

Learning how to post videos

Well, this is my first video post directly to my blog. Just for the record, folks, I am at the stage where I have a whole pile of gadgets I’m not sure how to use… you tube, vodpod, this blog with widgets, and del.ici.ous.

I want to be able to post videos from other blogs directly onto mine, and eventually I will sort out howto use my vodpod properly – i’d like to categorise my videos, and start collecting some without them going to my main pod which anyone can see on this blog.  I’m not sure why one would use a vodpod – however my inspirational site has one, and almost as soon as I started using vodpod I recieved videos from Englishteachers on the otherside of the world- cool eh! This Titanic sequel was sent from Mike in England for my film study students!
