YouTube exposes Torture in Egypt
Saturday, January 13, 2007
I guess one of the good things in the whole Internet or connected world nowadays is that even the little guy and get a voice, and can get something out there to millions. It means that governments and other corporations aren't safe from doing whatever the hell they want, and good old YouTube has some nice evidence.
There's a story in The Guardian on Torture in Egypt which was put online by a YouTube user and journalist. There's even more videos on YouTube such as this woman getting "interrogated" by the police via torture. Pretty amazing that there's now hope for these people. I'm not a very politically oriented person but it's great to see technology help the little guy fight back.
Alright more later, time to take care of stuff around the house.

It's New Year's Eve, time for some YouTube
Sunday, December 31, 2006
Since I'm just sitting here today fixing a computer and waiting for all my NYE stuff to happen tonight I thought I'd share this hilarious (to some, don't play if your faint of heart) of someone burning the TMX Elmo (that's been going for like 10x its price). I know some people may object but it's my blog so enjoy, and post your comments if you wish
More later,

Want to share a presentation or portfolio, try filmator.net
Friday, December 29, 2006
Everyone on the internet knows about YouTube and Flickr and all the content sites where users get to upload their content and share it with everyone around the world. But imagine being able to share everything in one page or presentation at the proper sequence and with the right music or sounds. Seems like a cool idea that wasn't possible until now, with the introduction of Filmator.net's online presentation software which allows you to do all this for free. Filmators, as the users are called, upload their pictures, videos, Flash films, and sounds then simply organize the images to play in sequence according to trigger points they set in the sound file.
I shouldn't call it software since it's all online and Filmator.net makes it possible to create online presentations very quickly for free. Yep it's free for personal users, business or commercial users may get charged however, but it's a great way to reach a truly global audience without having a lot of knowledge or technical skills to do this. Ask any AV guy and they'll say it's not easy but Filmator takes all the difficult of piecing together a clip when you can do it yourself much more easily. Then all you have to do is embed it on your site, kind of like YouTube. Here's an example of a museum in southern France (being French and all it spiked my interest)
Pretty good tool isn't it, definitely seems like another option other than YouTube when trying to share a presentation online. I may not be big into the content producing part of networks like YouTube but I think this a great tool, especially for presentations, and that you should check it out. The URL again is http://filmator.net
Enjoy!

Payperpost's got a YouTube Channel
Saturday, December 23, 2006
I didn't know this until quite recently but Payperpost has a YouTube channel with all it's videos. I thought it would be just a collections of videos but there's comments and a bulletin board as well. I even saw videos there that I hadn't noticed before on the blog or anywhere else, payperpost definitely loves to keep me guessing (they're on the blog now). For those who don't know payperpost it's a shame, since you can't get paid to blog about pretty much anything :). Click on the link to find out more.
Btw congrats to Anna for winning the first camera, I'm still outta luck, help me out PPP!

This is too funny!
Wednesday, November 15, 2006
I knew the guys at Payperpost where off the wall but honestly Ted takes the cake in this one. This has to be the funniest PPP video I've ever seen, and after being there a while, I've seen it all, from Colleen's alter ego, to Veronique's rant, to the Postie Patrols. Ted, or his alter-ego Antonio, somehow becomes a catfish, but it's not how you expect it, lol.
Honestly this has to be seen to be believed, and just for you guys I've embedded the code from YouTube so everyone can see, lol.
Ted is lost, and he's our fearless leader, we're doomed, lol. But if you want to see more funny PayPerPost videos you should check out their blog (click on the Payperpost link) or if you're interested in getting paid to blog visit www.payperpost.com
Thanks,

Funny YouTube Crash
Thursday, November 02, 2006
Deviating from my news for the night to post up this car crash, this is pretty funny, lol. Imagine getting a brand new 07 Mustang and watching your son crash it into your house, lol. I think this guy is a big idiot for giving the keys to his kid, but I guess (hope) he only thought he was going to turn on the radio or something, or else there's no saving humanity.
Here's the vid, it's priceless (even tho I thought the car would get more damaged, lol)
Enjoy!
