I just bought a Flip HD the other day.  It cost around $200 at my local bestbuy.  Now first thing I liked when I opened it up was that it came with a soft case that can be used for cleaning the lens.  That’s a big plus in my book, when you open the box you will expect more accessories… don’t, it is a very maintenance and accessory free camera!  It charges from the flip out usb connector and needs no memory sticks.

SO on to what really matters.  Video quality.  The quality is good, it does shoot in 720P which is a plus for youtubers, although there is no image stabilization.  But it is not hard to get a good stabilizer or build your own custom one for this camera.  I might do a tutorial later on for everyone, just remind me.  =)

Almost forgot, for those of you that use WMM regularly to edit your videos, Mp4′s will not import into Windows Movie Maker for you, you would have to convert it before importing.  You would be better off using Adobe Premiere or Sony Vegas.

Well, I’m out for now friends, don’t forget to watch for my new videos on youtube with the Flip.

RAWR YOU SUCK

Youtube trash talk running rampant!  The other day I had somebody talking trash to me on one of my comments.  It was completely unnecessary and blatant.  So I fired back.  And this exchange went back and forth a few times.  So I thought I would be funny and find out the persons real name since It’s pretty easy to find information on the web, if someone does know how to hide it.  Well after I did about 5 minutes of digging, not only did I find out his full name, I also found out where he lived and that he was just a kid living with his parents!  This was a bit alarming to me, it was extremely easy to find this information, what if this kid had decided to talk trash to someone who might do something violent or stupid because of it?  If somebody wanted to they could find this kid and hurt him.  That just wouldn’t cut it for me, so I did the best thing that I could think of even though it would probably piss him off.   I called his parents.  After me and his dad had a lengthy conversation about online privacy issues and the way his son was acting, i felt a bit better that they would take the steps necessary to regulate their teenage son’s activities on the web.  The kid did send me an email actually thanking me for the rude awakening that I gave him, that was a bit of a surprise to me, but I’m glad that I had helped out.  If only more parents knew what kind of issues cyber bullying and online trash talking could cause they would most likely watch their children a bit closer on the web.

That’s it for today folks!  Hope you like my new blog site and design!

Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) by OCZ Technology:

A new movement in gaming has been established by OCZ Technology. Now.. this is old news to me, but for some of my readers I will assume you may not have seen this yet. So let me tell you a little about it.

The Neural Impulse actuator goes around your head like a headband and it will read you brain activity with three sensors in the front. A box converts that to something the computer can read and the software that comes with the program learns what your wanting it to do. For example, I want to program it to go left when i think left, so you set that option and start thinking what you would think when you want your character to go left, and it records a loop. So In game when you think this, that is what will happen. From what I’ve heard it does take some practice, and it’s a bit weird at first, but what new technology isn’t? I for one welcome this new tool in gaming. The applications are endless, you can beat out your enemy in Call of Duty 4 with your mind. Haven’t you always wanted to kill your enemies and friends with your mind? Well now you can. You can get your OCZ NIA at Amazon for about $130.

Google is the most amazing thing since sliced ram, until Android becomes the new standard, I was counting up the things I use through Google and I realized almost half the stuff I do online is through Google! If you really look through the services they provide they have some interesting stuff, like the Patent viewer, being able to search and look through all the patents ever made and then digitized. It’s fun to go through and look at some of the weird stuff that will never be mass produced.

And if I ever try to use another search engine it just feels gross and unstable compared to using Google’s simple interface.

If any of you out there are web developers, I highly suggest using Google analytics, it’s one of the most useful tools I’ve found on google so far. And if you want to see their newest stuff you really need to do some reading on the new Android stuff they’ve developed.

Well that’s it for now, post a comment and let me know how google has helped you out or saved you time in your daily routine!
