For the next 45 minutes, you can join in and watch the "Open Media" session at the Berkman at 10 conference. It's being streamed live to web by uber-video blogger Steve Garfield.

You can watch Steve Garfield's live video streams on Qik.com, you can log into the IRC back-channel at irc.freenode.net/berkman, and there's a lot of blogging, twittering and flickring happening, all grouped around the tag "Berkmanat10".

First off, do watch the video--it's hilarious, the lyrics are priceless ("You're into border security...let's break this border between you and me...Universal health care reform...it makes me warm"), and BarelyPolitical, the comedy team that wrote the music and filmed the video, should probably get hired by Saturday Night Live. (They're up to nearly 30,000 views on YouTube, by the way, as of this morning.) But is this a political video mashup or a job application? And in this day and age, should we care if it's both at the same time?
