Great video Inger! Nice editing and integration of the various usage clips - swirling, smelling, etc. Two questions for you; when did this tasting happen, and why weren't we invited? ;) I do believe that you have found your medium... Well done.
Inger - I think that you may have found your medium! I look forward to all of the great material yet to come!

Thanks Rob, I need to work on my filming techniques but at least I've got an idea about how to use the flipcam and how to edit the clips. It's really fun! More to come......
Inger, Thanks very much for posting this wonderful video! I found it very informative, and I now feel like I have a better understanding of some of the work in sustainable farming practices that Matt and Katey are working on. Excellent!

Inger - great idea, and it's also nice to see you navigating your way around some technology! I think this is an excellent way to capture the knowledge of the team, share it with others, and stimulate learning. I will be watching with interest......
