Create Online Video with Stupeflix Studio

I saw this in the Google Apps Marketplace…Easy video creation with Stupeflix Studio. The free version is pretty basic and your video creation is limited to one minute, but it does have some cool features, like professionally designed themes and transitions, plus a sharing feature to export your video to YouTube or Facebook. You do [...]

Google’s Search Stories

I’ve been playing with Google’s Search Stories and thought it was pretty cool at first. I’ve uploaded two Search Stories to YouTube so far, but not without difficulty. Google says the whole point of this experiment is to make searching fun. That’s cool, but why can’t do I the same things I’m seeing done in [...]

iPad April 3rd

I saw my first TV advertisement for the iPad during the Academy Awards Sunday night. Apple’s sure got their timing right, but I’ve heard there’s a delay in shipping the tablet. Apple’s YouTube video says the release date is April 3rd, which is the word across the web. The Wi-Fi version ships first, followed by [...]

Google Fiber

I think of Google as my search engine of choice, and I like using their other applications like Chrome, Gmail, Adsense, Adwords, Google Earth and YouTube. I’ve never considered Google as an ISP or internet service provider. But Google is about to start testing ultra-high speed fiber optic broadband in several areas across the country. [...]

Guidelines are: Create [...]

WordPress Update

I just updated this blog to the latest version of WordPress. <Sigh> I sure got tired of seeing the “nagline” at the top of the screen. Guess it was overdue, since it was still using version 2.3.3 WordPress was really having a hard time with video too; even YouTube videos wouldn’t render properly, with or [...]

It’s not just Photoshop anymore. Their new URL is http://tv.adobe.com There’s also the ability to either embed or link to each video, just like [...]

Video: Hey Jude (alternate version)

Even though I’m a Beatles fan, I just can’t stand to hear the song “Hey Jude” anymore. I reached “critical-mass-burnout” long ago. However, I got a big laugh out of this “alternate version” from YouTube.
