Ron Fredericks writes: LectureMaker’s Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony coming up next week, so I thought it was high time to show my clients and prospects just what a person can do in a LectureMaker studio in under one hour.
The demo shows you how to build a light weight hard disk storage device for portable transport of 640 Gigabytes of digital data. Unlike most of the portable hard drive vendors – I show you exactly how to assemble, partition, and format the drive using Windows 7 or Vista. I will post a Mac version too if there is any interest.
This video uses some techniques I have created to demonstrate both hardware and software. This type of video is a case study for many of the Silicon Valley high-tech firms who need to quickly and accurately demonstrate their products to users, partners, sales teams, and tech support engineers to name just a few….

Navigating the Video’s Time Line
Have you noticed all those red naviagtion dots embedded into LectureMaker’s video player? These dots allow a viewer to quickly get a sense of what content is included in the video.
“I usually regret when people ask me to watch online video because I just don’t know if my time will be well spent – especially a long video – so I added these red dot hot navigation spots to put online video back on Internet time” – said Ron Fredericks, designer of LectureMaker’s video player.
With these navigation dots, the nature of “Watch my video” has really changed for the better!
Here is a list of navigation dots embedded into this video. This may help you quickly find content of interest in this video.

Toastmasters International: Officer Training Keynote Speech
Ron Fredericks writes: Many events include a keynote speech as part of their venues. Yet, very few events I have attended deliver a keynote that I would want to share with others outside the event itself. This particular event was graced with a keynote speech that was entertaining, informative, and motivational as a goal for the human spirit as well as for the attendees of this officer training session. As a result I am fortunate to be able to share this particular event’s keynote speech as a LectureMaker video for others to watch – even to those that have never been to a Toastmasters officer training event.
The February 25′th Sunnyvale officer training event itself was put together by Toastmasters District 4, Division C governor Frank Chen. Great job Frank, and the same goes to your event team and trainers as well. Additional thanks to Toasters R Us club and Synopsis for providing the venue for this training session. I would also like to thank the members of the Blue Cube Toastmasters club for helping me to setup and film this special event – Gopal Patil in particular for volunteering as key grip and cameraman on short notice.
Frank delivered a compelling and informative introduction to Vish. I plan to refer back to Frank’s technique as demonstrated in the video from time to time so I too can try and deliver such a compelling introduction to talented presenters at future events. A wrap-up session was delivered by Diane Vaughn as the final scene in this video. She breaks the keynote speech down into small enough chunks along with their associated segues so viewers can better understand the structure behind this compelling keynote speech.
