New Version of VLC
Well it looks like VLC has finally hit 2.0. I have been hearing a lot about it and thought that it might be time to take the plunge and get the vlc 2.0 download. I’ve heard that there are some great new features in the latest version plus the usual bug fixes. For me, there is no better way to handle all of the different media files out there on the net than VLC, it simply plays them all.
Usually when I send out a dvd of home movies, I’ll toss in a copy of VLC so I know the movies can be played on whatever computer is being used. It just makes things more convenient.
Cute Coca Cola Commercial
Here is an excellent Coca Cola commercial. It features a woman singing as she walks down the street giving away bottle of coca cola to the people that she meets. It’s a very light hearted song and it’s a real feel good commercial. It’s kind of a kin to I’d like to buy the world a coke.
So what do you think about this Coca Cola commercial? Do you have any comments you want to make on it?
My Thoughts On Annoying Ringtones
I’m sure you have been someplace and a cell phone just starts ringing with some nerve wracking ringtone. I am sure you’ve been irritated by it and wished it would just go away. Maybe it interrupted something you were doing or maybe it just made you stop and listen to it. That’s called ringtone annoyance. It is getting annoyed by ringtones.
People use special ringtones on their phone. They might be funny, they might be political or they could be just a snippet from the person’s phone. You just think they’re annoying annoyance ringtones, right? You and I both know the truth. You secretly wish that you could put ringtones on your cell phone and let people hear what you want them to hear, and it doesn’t matter if someone thinks you are using annoying ringtones, because face it, you have a better sense of what is good than they do.
I know it and it’s ok because for you, you truly can find a better true tone or polyphonic ringtone because you know your own likes and dislikes more than anyone else does out there. You know what the best songs are and what the best music is. You’ve known it for while.
Thankfully, it is easy to put your annoyance ringtones, oops favorite ringtones on your phone. It’s as easy as downloading them from the web and you can start showing off your own great taste in music and culture. And that’s a very good lesson.
Going With Electronic Drums
I am looking at getting a decent set of drums for my son this Christmas. He’s been playing the drums in school and I think it’s time that he has a set at home to practice with. I’ve been specifically looking at electronic drums because of several advantages they offer like controllable volume, additional effects, and more portability. All of these are quite important and I am willing to pay more to get a quality set rather than going with the old traditional style of drums. I also think electronic drums are more durable and long lasting, but that might just be what I think.
Anyways, let’s hope I find the right kind of set of electronic drums so that my son can really improve his playing.
Looking for an Antenna
I am installing a TV in my kids’ room. I already having the digital converter since it’s an old TV, but now I am looking to get an antenna. This means I am looking specifically for antennas for digital tv. I want one that can do deal with the UHF band where the broadcasts are and one with sufficient gain to receive the stations well. This should make it so that I can save a little money on an extra cable tv outlet in the room.
