Download the “Evening at Adler” hosted by drunkenbatman

November 13th, 2005

On October 21, 2005, drunkenbatman hosted a gathering of (primarily independent) Mac developers at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago for an evening to discuss a wide range of issues. You can read about the cast of characters and topics here.

The two and a half hour roundtable was taped, and I am happy to be able to mirror the files at JDdN. The audio version (.mp4 format, encoded with AAC) is around 135 MB in size. The video version (.mp4 format, encoded with H.264) is around 600 MB in size. You can find the files here:

The files have been released under a Creative Commons license, a copy of which is enclosed with each file.

So, sit back, download your file of choice, pour yourself a caucasian and enjoy…

Update: Since DB has now set up torrent trackers for each file, I am no longer hosting the originals. You can find the trackers here.

Sounds like the perfect mobile device for watching video on the go.
