Videos of Gil Reid

Videos

I sat down with Gil in spring of 2006 and captured our discussion on video tape. I've edited this down to a few selections and published them here for you to enjoy.

Note, these videos are hosted at Google Video which provides a very good free video streaming service. With this service, and a broadband (Cable/DSL) internet service, you won't need to wait for an entire video to download before watching it, it will start to play almost immediately (I don't know how well it works with dial-up internet access, but I'm curious)
