Another coffee break!

It's time to go back two steps in order to go forwards one. I am returning to the topic of body smartness, that is, using webcams in order to convey body language and meaning.
I'm sure there are better ways to do this than talking with your mouth full, but for a first video I think this will do to illustrate the point.

I do hope you enjoy this post, and - oh, why don't you get yourself a cup of coffee to watch it with!

Illya,
Your video makes my mouth water! Watching you drink that smelly (isn't your computer smell-enabled?) creamy cup to coffee and dipping your croissant in it made me rush to the fridge to get something to eat.
It was great seeing you. Unfortunately the video and sound are not streamed smoothly on my PC. But anyway I could grasp the "plot" on the whole.
Good job, Illya! Congratulations!

Congratulations on your work Illya!!! Not only was it a great technical achievement but you will also be held responsible for our new overweight problem... ;0)
Mm...I think I can say this is a very tasty video. :0) Well done!

Illya,
I was dreaming of a warm cup of coffee and cream while watching the video. I hope you bring some goodies to tapped in next Sunday. Yumm!

Illya,
I´m sure everyone feels the same after watching your great video, we all end up dying for a cup of coffee and a croissant. How did you record it, with a webcam or a camera? Just loved your idea. Congratulations.

What a great idea to use Yahoo! Video in your blog. Such delicious food would surely gain the students' attention--I know it got mine!

Hi Illya, now I remember who you are!!! The coffee lady, ha, ha. I remember watching your video while I was lurking at LwC. It was fun and unexpected. I don´t know how you manage to be in so many differebt evo sessions and still participate so actively. I have been kind of tired lately. I do have two other courses at UofT where I have lots of readings to do and be prepared before I go to class. I know snow and cold help in not wanting to go outside, but I am mentally tired right now,
Still, I am enjoying all the busy activity in the groups, no doubt about it.
Cheers, Berta

Hi Illya,

I love coffe too. I was just having mine when I decided to check your video. Of course, being a Brazilian, I usually drink black coffee. So, unfortunately, no foam in mine. You made my coffee taste better today. Thanks a lot.

I watched your video while eating a salad so I laughed with my mouth full to honour you.
Really funny, Illya. I'll remember it every time I see your profile photo.
