Beyond.ca Lecture Hall

[TC2002]

Not sure if this has been posted before...

I was randomly searching on youtube for videos that are NOT taken offline (a rare thing these days) and I found this. I wonder where and when this lecture was held?

Pretty sure that's not the guy; if it was, the guy sure looks good for an 83 year old, let alone being able to pick out epic stories from an online forum half way across the world from him! Judging by the way the guy spoke about Calgary though, I'd assume this was at a Canadian University. Otherwise, he'd mention Alberta and Canada as well.

Nonetheless, awesome find! Would have loved to hear the rest of the lecture though.

hahaha thats awesome!!!

"...just car geeks, really" :rofl:

[7thgenvic]

that just made my night! where was that lecture filmed?

[VDubbez86]

I'm Almost 100% positive this was a lecture at a UK university, thus the remark about Everton Futboll Club I'm pretty sure if he made a comment about the club in Canada he wouldn't have got a laugh that big So probably Liverpool, England. That's remarkable how a little story from Calgary traveled that far. Sold his hat on eBay thats just pure genius. :thumbsup:

[Zephyr]

haha now it just needs to get onto top gear!

[herragge]

hahahah wow epic!
i'm proud to be part of this community of "just car geeks"

Good times. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I have no idea. I've messaged the guy (David Price) via youtube, so I hope he answers!

See, there was this snippet in the movie "Get Smart" about the claw (need to look for it on his notepad at the beginning) and I nearly died laughing. I wonder if it made it to the writers of that movie or if it was some weird coincidence?

[Super_Geo]

Haha so you fucking mean to tell me that there's a chance that The Claw is going to be part of a university quiz/test? Hahahahaha! :nut:

[drtoohotty1]

i wanna sign up for beyond CSI 101 and get credit for it!

[rage2]

I chatted with David Price already. It was part of a lecture he gave to music teachers to make them how quickly the world has changed.

Here's his message back to me:


Wow, that's praise indeed coming from you guys! It was my son who put me on to it. It was a segment from a 40 minute talk I gave to music teachers (trying to get them to realise how quickly the world's changed). I actually go on to play the CTV clip to show how the media completely missed the point about the collective action you were all able to take.

I hope you don't mind the way I presented you guys - it really was meant out of great respect. I'll be posting some more clips up soon. It would be great if what your members do with my own clip, resembles the spread of the original story!

But I don't think Tay Zonday need worry just yet....

Best wishes,

David
I replied back told him it was great and entertaining the way he told the story.

[rmk]

^ Awesome :D

I aspire to be as cool as Mr Price is when I reach his age. He is really well versed with his internet meme's. :rofl:

[Trini]

haha sweet:thumbsup:

[TC2002]

Nice work, Rage. :)

[TC2002]

Just got a message back from David Price too...


Re: Thanks for the video clip!
Hi,
Well I'd never have called you 'geeks' if I'd have thought it might come back to bite me!

I'm going to post on the forum tonight, so should answer all your questions there. (I'm not a 'sir' though I did recently get an OBE - have to say the beyond.ca recognition gave me a bigger kick!)

But I'd really like to know - as you can see how this stuff works fascinates me - how you ran into the video (which was mistakenly made public btw!!)

But it wasn't a Uni or College or course.

And I'm really sorry for calling you guys geeks. I actually think which you did/do is fantastic.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Hahaha, this Price guy sounds pretty cool, I'd like to hear more of his presentation.

[schocker]

haha, that was pretty good. :rofl:

Lmao Jordan he says it like you were shitting yourself out of excitement. So awesome. I am pretty sure beyond.ca is officially the best forum ever. Soon we will see the 08 bashing and BMW comments along with $95 lunches turn up on forums all over the field.

Fuckin' 08s

[Akira911]

What a great Thread, not much Beyond crew cannot find or do.

That's funny! It's pretty obvious that comment wasn't meant with any disrespect whatsoever. The whole way he told the story was hilarious imo.

Hell, I don't mind being called a car geek, that's pretty much what we are!

Yeah, we sit on the Internets talking about cars all day, I'd say that pretty much defines "car geek."

Using IE. Since SP3, youtube fails to work.

Try using firefox, it fixed the problem for me. I can view all the movies on youtube and other video websites that IE refuses to play.

[DeeK]

And btw.. Getting praise and recognition like that from around the world. Not just in the car forum industry, but from a different viewpoint about culture change and global views Via the internet. that's top notch.

Good stuff guys!

I know! I messaged him back and let him know that I wasn't offended in any way. ha ha. I'm looking forward to seeing him posting tonight to answer our questions. :thumbsup:

I'll check that out. Thanks for the tip! :)

[Hakkola]

HAHAHA, wow! Finding this clip is very "beyond CSI" in itself.

I don't have sound on my computer at work, I'll have to watch this when I get home.

[phrozen]

Amazing find, :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[djayz]

and it continues...

haha soooo awesome!

[Skyline_Addict]

beyond.ca for global domination! :D

Time to 'fess up:

My name's David Price, and I'm the guy in the You Tube video. I have to say, first off, this has been a great thread to follow, not just for the ego-boost (all compliments are much appreciated!) but also because it made me laugh, as this forum frequently does.

I'm a little reluctant to talk about myself, but you guys are wondering and there are a few corrections to be made, so here goes. The talk was given about 3 weeks ago, not at a University or college, but at a conference of music educators, in Leeds. (So not Canada, but I don't need to tell people where Calgary is..) I'm a freelance arts (mainly music) and education consultant, and I speak about how divorced schooling is becoming from the actual lives of young people (I also lead projects, if you're interested check out www.musicalfutures.org)

As you guessed I'm not the David Price from the Wiki entry, and with my strong North-Eastern accent, they would NEVER let me in to Eton!! Although I used to work in a university, it was one set up by Paul McCartney, and so it was the only one I could get into with my resume!

My 20 yr old son first alerted me to what happened with the Claw thread, and I thought that this was an amazing thing. As someone pm'd me today, the way in which information and interests get shared so quickly today is far more significant than the way the media portray it. After the YT clip ends I show the CTV clip, where the police warn people off from getting TOO involved, and I say that they totally missed the point. You all did it because you could, and this will be happening more and more, around the world, because we now have the tools. School is now the only time when younger people AREN'T connected, so if it used to be boring when I went to school (and was it ever boring) it seems completely irrelevant to many young people now, and we have to stop tinkering with education, but radically transform it. (I speak about this at greater length at this link: http://www.thersa.org/events/past_events/outside-in-rethinking-schooling---informal-learning-in-school but it lasts 40 minutes, so don't feel you have to.... I'll be posting some more clips up on You Tube, and on my web-site when I finally get around to doing it.

I can't tell you what a kick I got from hearing from the actual people who I mentioned in the clip. Don't underestimate the significance of what you stand for, and what you achieved - a million people in two days is Tay Zonday territory! Of course I realise my little contribution is nothing to the scale of the original, but the way in which you spread stuff around made me want to not post for fear of killing the virus (I need the publicity!). But I just wanted to say thanks at this point - I'll be using this story for a LONG time!

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Thanks for posting, David, it's quite interesting to know the context behind the clip.

:werd: x2

Plus welcome to the forum! Let me be the first say you might be the one to salvage the '08s reputation on these boards :rofl:

I vote custom user title as well!

[TC2002]

This is so neat! Thanks for coming on here and giving us an ego boost as well! :) It's not everyday you get to communicate with someone with an OBE and with a connection to Sir Macca. :)

I'm an educator with the Calgary Board of Education and would like to start my Master's degree in education in the next couple of years. If you're okay with it, I would like to contact you in regards to your perspectives on education! Can I PM you (or you PM me first if you are available)?

[priceygolfnut]

TC2002:
How could I refuse since you 'discovered' me?

[finboy]

thanks for stopping by david, i'd love to hear the whole presentation if you can upload it somewhere.

also, your video pops up on youtube if you search "beyond.ca claw"

http://youtube.com/results?search_query=beyond.ca+claw&search_type=&aq=f

[priceygolfnut]

Finboy,
You probably wouldn't! It goes on for 40 minutes about techie stuff, free stuff and trust stuff and I'm reading most of it.
I'd post it anyway, but YT only allows 10 minute chunks now!

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Let is know if/when you upload the rest of the presentation, I'd like to see it. I also know some people in the musical education field that would be interested as well.

shitting myself with excitement eh? HAHA well that's pretty much what got me out of my house 2:30am in the morning so yeah he's pretty much right. It was exciting!

I can't believe you're finally posting on this forum after somebody posted your youtube video. It really brings a whole new meaning ofthe saying "what a small world we live in".

[rmk]

Welcome David! :clap:

[Moe Man]

haha that is crazy, it is weird watching beyond move up from when it had 248 people to what it has become now.

proud to be a member:thumbsup:

[EK 2.0]

Man how come I never had profs and instructors as cool as you??...

[badatusrnames]

Thanks for signing up and sharing your perspectives David, a large proportion of us on here are students or are recent graduates and your perspective on education sounds very refreshing!

An OBE for your services to music education no less!

And thank you for bringing our story to a new audience

Welcome to the board and what an excellent presentation. It was definitely entertaining one for us here!

It's amazing how famous beyond's getting from the claw. Welcome to the forums!

Welcome David.

Another great thread!

:thumbsup:

Sweet find!!! Welcome to Beyond :) If you keep your eye on the General Car/Bike section, there are some pretty good sleuths in there continuously helping forum members find their stolen cars.

Beyond CSI is where it's at

[banned3x]
