When I’m dealing with users I often have to explain in laypeople terms about cookies and javacript. Namely, why having both enabled allows for all sorts of good things to happen with websites that you frequent. The biggest concern folks have is security. They turn cookies and javascript off out of security fears, which are often just misunderstandings about how this stuff is used. I’d love a CommonCraft Show vid that explains what cookies and javascript do and also seriously addresses the average user’s security questions with respect to these two thingies.

I’d love to send this video out to concerned users as an educational tool.

I know that Lee thinks DNS and CNAME stuff is scary enough to not want to make this video, but I’m sure folks would benefit from a Common Craft take on this subject. For example, what the heck is domain mapping?

I had lunch with Lee today and he told me about he and Sachi’s growing video business. I watched three Commoncraft videos today and thought they were great. I love the simple approach of bringing pretty abstract concepts down to street level for many of us. More vids please!
