Live at Justin.tv

Sunday, September 23rd, 2007

So I got bored the other day and tried to get a beta code over at Justin.tv and well guess what I did get one! :) It is pretty cool except I didn’t have a web cam yet so I had to get one, so I did, not the greatest but an okay one that will do, also it came with some cool web cam effects.

Here I am live, that is if I’m broadcasting.

I will not be 24/7 since I will not go mobile, even thought my life is way more interesting when I am away from my computer or house., but I really do not want to get a laptop and a EVDO card and pay for the service. So I will just air it when I am at home. Most likely you will see me surfing the internet, updating this blog (like now), watching some tv or a movie, playing some games or just doing random things. But I may sometimes go live when I am gone if I know I will have a laptop and internet access and I may air it. Also I do not know how long I will continue to air since i will probably get annoyed with it but since I will not go 24/7 I think I’ll keep it awhile.

And for those who have an account already on there send a link in the comments or if you don’t yet, well then get one.

**Edit**

Yeah I’m done with that.

Good Luck Chuck in Theaters

Friday, September 21st, 2007

“Good Luck Chuck” finally hit theaters today, and I think it looks hilarious, probably won’t be the greatest movie in the world but will be a damn good one. Reason being is because you have the beautiful Jessica Alba in it trying to get the hilarious man Dane Cook in bed. Just that, which is basically the whole plot just seems like it will be very funny too see Dane try to avoid sleeping with her because he loves her.

Even though I think I will like it, and probably will, and so will you…maybe, but I guess a lot of people do not think it is a great movie at all. Over at Yahoo! Movies critics gave it a D, but that is critics and I normally do not listen to them very often because I like movies critics hate, but then the user base gave it a C, still not great, I guess to them it’s worth waiting to rent it or NetFlix it. And people over at RottenTomatoes gave it 3% fresh which is just horrible.

With all those bad reviews, not just the critics, but the general public even saying it is not that great I am thinking I will wait for this one to hit NetFlix, but I may end up at a theater seeing it for myself because I think Dane Cook is a BAMF (Dane Cook joke, go watch his tour videos).

Anyways you may think it will be okay, or horrible, and for those who would like to at least see the trailer before they judge it, well then check it out.

Revision 3

Tuesday, September 18th, 2007

Sorry for the lack of posts… again. I just get busy sometimes and don’t find time to get to this. One thing that has kept me busy is trying to catch up on some old Diggnation episodes. For all of you who that do not know about Diggnation is is basically a internet show/podcast of Digg founder Kevin Rose and actor Alex Albrecht that talks about some of the cool stories that hit Digg.com. It is a very cool, funny show, well that is if you are into tech and what not, if not then it might seem really boring. I’ve caught back up with some missed episodes just have one left I believe so that is one thing checked off to do. Oh yeah for those who also may have missed a show or two Kevin and Alex are shutting down Beers for Diggnation because they are getting beer sponsors, so if you want to buy them a beer go there now and get one before they close it.

Anyways Diggnation is pretty damn cool and all but there are some really cool shows, yes shows, on the Diggnation network and it is called Revision3.com. And for those who do not know what Revision3 is, well it is a internet TV network that shows shows on it, kind of like you tube but this site has regularly updated content from multiple shows with original content. And one of the other cool shows other than Diggnation is the Totally Rad Show and they talk about some geek news, movies, games, and some other things in their show and I love it since I am into most of the tings they talk about in it so I highly recommend you check it out.

There is also many other shows on the Revision3 network, but I have not looked at the other yet but they seem interesting, mos, if not all, talk about gizmos and tech so if your into that you will probably find at least one show there.

Also if you seem to become a huge fan of one of the shows check out their gear because they might have some cool Tees for you to buy and ware and support. Here are some pictures of fans wearing the shirts.

Wow, I guess chicks watch a little diggnation… cool. 8)
Lucky son of a b!#$h :P he got to meet Matt Damon, aka Jason Bourne.

Here is the latest from Diggnation, this is also the one I have yet to watch.

Hello Seattle

Thursday, September 13th, 2007

First off I am not in Seattle.

Anyways I was in study hall today and well I was bored so I got my Zune out and started listening to some tunes and I was looking at the back of the Zune and at the bottom it has the super small print about assembled in China and SN on it, you know the usual things on electronics. But there was something extra on the Zunes, something different you know what it is? Here is a hint it was words and about Microsoft. If you are thinking “Welcome to the social” you are wrong! Any more guesses? Well I guess I can tell those who don’t know. It says… “Hello from Seattle”, that is why the post is called “Hello Seattle”.

zune 22

I thought it was pretty cool that Microsoft would add something completely random and kinda pointless to their Zune. But I guess it reinforces their phrase “Welcome to the Social” because they are greeting us from their home in Seattle.And for those who are wondering why I got a Zune instead of an iPod it is because at the time it was the best, iPod 5.5 was still out, 6g wasn’t yet. Plus Zune offered many features I wanted that iPod could not offer. One big seller point was it could hook up to my Xbox 360 and stream music, pics, and even watch videos off the Zune to my TV. Another reason was the bigger screen to watch the occasional video, plus it had better battery life too. There are many other features that I still love about the Zune, just the overall product is nice.

Source: Pic from Engadget Reason was because I can not find my digital camera and my camera phone takes horrible pictures with the 1.3 mp camera.

Mr. Woodcock Trailer

Monday, September 10th, 2007

I’m sure you have seen the trailer on TV by now, well that is if you watch any comedy central or any TV at all and well theres a little movie coming out soon, September 14th, and it is called “Mr Woodcock”. Just from the title is is going to conrain some crude comedy but you can expect that a movie with Billy Bob Thornton, from “Bad Santa”, and Seann William Scott, Stifler from the American Pie movies. And with hose two guys this is going to be hilarious, your going to have Billy Bob being a hard ass and being “serious” and then Sean and his craziness… There is not much else to say about this since to me it seems like it will be hilarious and will do okay in the Box Office, I’m hoping it will doing well in it but not sure.

The reason why I think this will be good is because the plot is Sean’s gym teacher from high school, who humiliated and beat him in class, is going to marry his mom. It may not seem like much but if you know the two actors you may think its funnier, also it seems funnier if you watch the trailer. So no further ado the trailer via YouTube.

Indiana Jones New Title

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

Well I was just watching part of the MTV VMA award show, still going on, but Shia Labeouf came out on stage and told us the official name of the next Indiana Jones film. And he said it will be called “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, not sure if it really is or not, it could be since this was one of the rumor names it might be and the fact that he is in the film and the VMAs is a great place to tell the world since it is a huge live event. I think it is a pretty cool name, most likely have some type of curse in the movie most likely, not sure since I have not seen the movie but it is just my guess., or it could be something totally opposite who knows. But I do know this movie is going to be very good and do very well when it is released.

So if any of you out there have a source that says it is then cool if not leave a comment with the real name and the source.

New iPods

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Well on September 5th Apple announced their new line up of their iPods, even added a new version, the iPod Touch. By the name of it you can tell it most likely has a touch screen and it does. It is basically a iPhone without the phone feature, it has internet, contacts and what not and a 3.5" screen, great for movie, but costs $300 for the 8 gig version, and the $400 is only 16 gigs, so in my opinion this is pointless since they have also lowered the price of their iPhone by $200 so if your going to get the $400 iPod Touch why not just get the iPhone.

They also revamped the other iPods and still have the iPod classic, which was the iPod video but now way better. They also still have the Nano but now looks like a little fat nugget instead of something sleek which Apple is known for, but it now plays videos, they also still have the Shuffle, looks basically the same.

Overall I think the best of it all is the iPod classic because they really did a great job with it, except for no wide screen. They come in 80 GIGS! for $250 and 160 gigs for $350 and video playback of up to 5 hours and 20-40 hours audio playback making this one damn good iPod and too me the best buy if you are thinking about getting a new iPod. Plus with all that memory you could fit a lot of great movies on it in pretty good quality, but I would like to have seen a wide screen but oh well Apple can’t please everyone.

There is also rumors going around that Apple is might be releasing a Movie rental program in iTunes which would be really cool, even thought I might not use it too much since I have NetFlix, also Apple is trying to lower TV episodes to 99 cents and I just have to say good luck Apple on that one.

Windows Live Writer

Friday, September 7th, 2007

In a nut shell it is a offline blogger application. You can create rich content to post on your blog, Wordpress, live spaces, Typepad, and along with many many more services out there. And basically it is a great FREE application, and if you are a serious blogger or like to type posts while not connected to the internet with this you can, and you can just click publish and it will post it on your blog.

Some cool features, well features I liked. :) windows live writer see pic

  • Works with Wordpress :)
  • Can create and publish rich content right from the application.
  • Can preview it and edit it with the look of your blog. See picture to the right. (My wallpaper is Chuck & Larry) 8)
  • Nice spell check.
  • Some plug ins. (Not many but what it comes with is nice, plus it is still in beta.
  • Great editing featured, insert pictures, links, separators, maps, tables, tags, and a lot more.
  • Preview the post on your site without publishing, really cool, even used if offline.
  • Edit HTML so you can insert adsense code of whatever, there is also a plugin to do that as well. But you can preview it with it, probably because the plugin is on your wordpress and it is previewing it offline, oh well.
  • Even set categories with this application and put a pass,slug on it, even trackbacks and excerpts.
  • Can even set the date of publish.
  • EDIT Also it even uploads pictures right to your server when you publish, that is if you added a picture off your computer like I did for the little screen shot.

There is so much more to this little program, and so far I love it! There is just so much you can do with it, it is a must for bloggers. So I highly recommend trying it out at least. I am still finding out some new features like the ping option, and will probably contineue to find some cool features in it and think Microsoft will add some new cool ones in the future of the program. So go here and download and try it. Plus this will mostly run faster than editing and writing posts with Wordpress, I know for me it does, especially when the server is a bit slow, or if the server restarts right when I click save and loose some text, with this I won’t.

Edit

Why do I find myself liking to post about blogging stuff? Oh and I love the little snip tool, very useful when I just want a snap shot of certain part of my screen, it is also one of my favorite tools in Vista. And yes it is a legal version of Vista, and I love it!

PS
Sorry Windows users only, not sure if they plan to make a Mac version, they may after Windows Beta, or you could always wait till Mac makes their own version, if they ever do.
