Best Online Video Outlets of 08

I can not say that Youtube is the best, just the greatest used. When they get the whole “hd” version and time span thing worked out. In due time, we all know google has a big plan somewhere up their sleave. lol.

Ok on to my favorites:

3.VEOH Nothing major ground breaking but a great gathering of videos on other people’s sites.

2.Joost The first of the best High quality, Could be best but had a face lift  mid year that changed everything and started them back at point zero, to follow hulu. I would like to locate their media player again.

1. HULU very high quallity high resolution videos.  Bad thing is, fox focused, and all the really good shows, are on fox’s website not Hulu’s. I still after 5 tries can not get the fox media player to work at all. I tried  Xp,Xp64,Vista,Xandros Linux.  but other than that, what shows they do host, are very high quality with tiny short advertisements

Sarah Lane has a her own Chickapedia

Well at least the freaks and stalkers did her some justice.
By not stalking her to get more information than what she
wants to release. Like some vigilant Internet Paparazzi.

Sarah Lane Chickapidia
They left out some important facts about her that could
be listed or displayed to further help her career though.
Like the line that says “dudes She’s worked with”
Really needs to list
Kevin Pereira (lol I forgot his name had to google him) From “Attack of the show”.
Adam Sessler From “Extended Play” now known as “Xplay”.
Leo Laporte The backbone to the real “The Screen Savers”.
Alex Albrecht Short term nail in the coffin for “The Screen Savers”

Her whole intermingling with chatrooms while The shows she was on
was probably the biggest reason that all chatrooms show related
that ran during live airing and recording would pack with so many people
who just want to talk to a member of the show. She was the niche
that put it all together. Along with many other reason’s their shows
took off, she was of the largest addiction. (not to give her to big of a head)

The line that says her body of work. needs to say “The Screen Savers” because “screen savers” sounds like she worked for a spam site.

To counter the “Twit” Acronym, It would be amazing if She and amber mac
and Colleen (if you do not know, then you are to far out) put together
a show called “Wit” women in Tech or “Lit” Ladies in tech.
I guess “Chit” wouldn’t be cool.

Mac Bug Crashes Mac Products

Bug Zambrini

As far as i know it just crashes you on all mac products.

iphone,macboock,imac,ipod.

It’s a video that when played crashes you .

i got the news from geekazine podcast.. sorry his first ten minutes of the episode is like 12 minutes long of  useless intro, but when he gets going it’s great.

My work week’s favorite podcasts

Jobacle – Helps relaxe you in your job, but helps you keep a level on head on self respect, no more working on your knees for little pay. you don’t have to take it. Jobacle can help.. oh yeah and the occassional favorite song from indies, excelent. MAKE WORK BETTER

Slashdot review – This week was a bit messed up though. The feed died out and showed the same stuff as last week.  On the spot steady fire of tech news. Usually informative enough to be plenty for you, but you can always google it and read about it when you get home. by then it will be out in the main wild. you will hear stuff here a day ahead, sometimes a month.

The linux action show – These dudes are fun to listen to. I have some of the people in the office saying  “ON THE LINUX ACTIiioON   SHOWWWWWW” just like the dudes on the podcast, as they walk past me. Funny stuff.

The tech guy – Excelent show, nothing could make it better than just leo sittingthere breaking news to the main stream tech community and helping by answering their questions or giving them a usefull link to somewhere usefull.

See every day I listen to these guys, some times I mix it up and listen to a whole other batch of rss feeds. but these guys I have at the top of my list of feeds. I have to hear them as soon as they come out. It beat sitting around listening to the same  15 songs all week on public radio. I hate when I listen to a fricken song  that I do not like, and find myself singing along like 2 months later. Feel like I’m being brained.

So I come to talk internet media  AKA “NEW Media”. This stuf is really good talent and great media..

If you have a work computer with speakers, you might want to look into rss feed media. wild how you get graduated into a higher level of apreciation.

Websites for all bands and Musicians

Kind of the same idea as myspace, but just for musical performers.
Single guitarists,drummers,singers and djs
who says you need a label?

Current look is kind of blah.
but the site has potential and a great plan behind it.

So if you have a band and want to get it noticed, grow with this site.
sponser it and it will sponsor you.

profiles are there,just kind of hard to find untill you get used to the site.

easiest thing to learn, is click on the calendar , anywhere you see blue text.

http://iworkwithmusic.com/

So come on dj spin for everyone, let everyone know you will be playing a club somewhere, or just playing on stickam.com or ustream.com . Lets get you seen.

Guitarists,singers,drummers, whole bands, what ever , come on!

Musician’s and bands site up

Current look is kind of blah.

Radio Stations and Ideas

We all have our last.fm players embeded into our myspace profiles.

I mean if you want to be known, BE KNOWN ASSHAT.

I would pretty much blop out a huge list of stations on my myspace and facebook profiles so my buds could listen to what i am listing to here in Houston and enjoy it like I do.

Shopping Tip: iPod Vs. Zune Vs. chiPod

With the chiPod you pay an average of 30 buck a gig.

with the iPod you pay no less than 75 for the basic model.

with the Zune prices similar to iPod but start around 150+

iPod easy scratched and shattered.

chiPod, if you break it, oh well. You paid nearly nothing for it.

Zune is tough

iPod media is limited to only being played on iPod

chiPod, media is for old school p2p people, limited by only trends.

Zune same as iPod but both do play pirated stuff also. not vice versa. and not each other’s.

iPod gets updates to firmware when flaws are found.

chiPod you can complety hack the whole thing.

Zune gets mandated updates, I think.

OK, on to the good part

The iPod has a ton more content with iTunes being so poular and up and out and veterined to pleasing the customers with media they want. The iPod has tons of hacks that void the warranties, but you can do it anyway.

ChiPod has a comunity of freinds who all ban together to make and update and upgrade the firmware. Most of us have either a Zune or an iPod also but still love to mod our cheapy. the chiPod you can take anywhere without the stress of tearing up something good. My chiPod matched my iPod so no one knows the difference anyway when I am out and around. :P Battery life is pathetic, then again storage is not much greater.

Zune. This sucker looks like a tank and the whole software and interface is great not confusing , the storage on these is large and read times do not seem to be any worse than either of the other two. Battery life is awesome and amazing. Video suport very nice and looks really good. Dropped it and picked it right back up, no scratched even though it landed face down.

You make the decision from the observations I point out or just totally ignore me. I offer it’s up to you what to accept.
