Gear - I was checking out MediaStorm and came across this page that details a basic shooting package for the low cost of $18,636! Its all nice gear no doubt, too bad we can't all run out and get it. In fairness, the professional gear listed here is pretty close to my run-and-gun package (except I use Sony instead of Canon) that took me a few years to acquire. In reality you can get into the video making game much cheaper, as long as you know what you need and how to get it cheap.
Technique - Consumer Video Tips has an article up about how to pan the camera the correct way. Really you need a serious tripod but for starting out the tips dont hurt. Slow it down now!

NEW JVC GY-HM100 Quicktime Camcorder
FreshDV has a piece up about the new JVC GY-HM100. This thing records to a native Quicktime format. I guess that is cool for the startup web studios looking to drop alot of cash, but it aint for any of us. I try to use DP's and operators when I can, and I need for them to be familiar with the gear. I like Sony PD-150 or170, or the Z series cameras because I, as well as my camera dept, are familiar with the menus and the controls. But if you get one let me know how it is.
