simple steps
1. investigate interface, sensecam and mylifebits
2. strip down mylifebits to something more manageable, add publish button, deal with links
3. add sensecam, ui for pictures (directX/drucker ui), links and metadata for pics
4. (time permitting) look into video, treating it as stills with user defined 'x' frames between stills, using the same ui as the sensecam, ignoring audio.
during all this, develop matching content.
This looks more like a digital life auto-blogging tool which could easily lead to video blogging once these steps have been met. (audio is purposefully avoided here.)
(Get enough info on manipulating mpgs and its simply pulling out frames and then displaying dhtml divs that open the file up to a specific point in it. some processing on each end to be sure, but doesnt require an insane activeX plugin or anything.)

ok, so here's the question: how is this useful and what is it doing that is different. that's not meant to be harsh, but without the content, I'm having a really hard getting a good picture of what you're doing

well lets see:
there isnt a ui for video yet that really makes any sense.
while there has been wearable computing for a while now, there hasnt been a lot done on pov cinema, esp when combined with blogging.
add social interaction, metafiction and privacy into it (to name a few), i think youve got something that is both leveraging on current ares of research and building a unique platform both for authoring and experiencing video media over the internet.
i plan to post some scenerios/content ideas over the next week or two, so hopefully that will help you as well.
