Oh, How Far We’ve Come…

// June 14th, 2010 // No Comments » // Electronics, Entertainment, Fun, Media, Software, Tech, Video

This could arguably be the worst fight scene of all time:

Intense, I know…

Now, as someone who works a lot with video and such, I find it incredibly interesting to watch these sorts of old clips. Now obviously this video was just plain old BAD choreography, but even watching any professionally shot movie, I find myself analyzing camera angles and such, and seeing how I can incorporate new techniques and ideas into my own shows.

And then, it’s always interesting to look back and see how far we truly have come in the world of video editing and movie creation. It really is amazing.

My iOS 4 Home-Screens

// June 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Electronics, Gadgets, Internet, Life, Media, Photos, Reviews, Software, Tech, iPhone

Considering that I now have iOS 4 installed before it’s official release date, I was able to play around a bit with it’s new (and quite frankly awesome and insanely useful) app organization features. You can now use folders to organize your apps, which is really great for quite a few reasons. I like being organized, and I figured, why not at least show you my new iPod Touch’s Home-Screens (I only have 2 now!) on the new iOS 4. So here they are in all their folder-full glory:

You like?

There are quite a few other nice features as well, and iOS 4 goes live for everyone in just a few more weeks on the (excuse me while I check my calendar…. ah, yes…) 21st of June. Excited? I am.

Some iPad Doodles

// May 28th, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Electronics, Entertainment, Fun, Media, Photos, Reviews, Software, Tech, iPad

One of the first apps for the iPad that I downloaded was Adobe’s Ideas. It’s a drawing app that I only took a glance at when I first downloaded it. After a few long car rides recently though, I realized that there is really some great power to the app and that I could create some pretty cool doodles. Take a look:

If you’re wondering what exactly I was thinking when I drew those, I couldn’t tell you. I honestly don’t know myself (and certainly neither does my sister – which I extrapolated, by the way, due to her snide remarks as I sketched). But what I can tell you is that I always sort of liked drawing, and the features that this app gives you are really great. You can switch up colors on the fly from a full color palette (although as of now there is no easy way to go back to a previous one), you can zoom in REALLY close to do all the detail work, it’s a pretty slick app for drawing. I’d go download it if you have an iPad and don’t already have the app. And yes, it’s free.

So why am I sharing all of this with you? No clue.

Pocket This Camera

// May 24th, 2010 // No Comments » // Gadgets, Hardware, How To, Media, Reviews, Software, Tech, TechKnowledgey, Video

Nowadays, everyone wants a simple, easy to use, pocket sized, and yet superior HD video camera. Unfortunately, because of that, many companies have created quite an array of pocket camcorders to choose from. Thankfully, Devir was able to narrow it down to just the four best (all of which are great choices), and then seems to have a way with them to get them to talk, and explain themselves as to which one, specifically, is right for you.

Byte Sized: iPad Review

// May 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Apple, Byte Sized, Electronics, Entertainment, Gadgets, Hardware, Software, Tech, iPad, iPhone

I give my thoughts on the iPad in this episode of Byte Sized, complete with everything from what the point of it is, who it’s good for, why I like it, and more.

Torrential Flooding

// April 26th, 2010 // No Comments » // Education, How To, Information, Internet, Media, Software, Tech, TechKnowledgey

The BitTorrent, once an unprecedented achievement of file downloading, has sadly transformed into a dark and suppressed format, misused and misunderstood. Thankfully, Devir Kahan shows you the true power and implementations of the Torrent file, and how to obtain and use them by yourself, in all its pirate-guised, history-filled, and downloadable glory.

PLEASE NOTE: Many ISPs don’t like when people download Torrents due to possible copyright infringment. This show is strictly for educational purposes and is not to imply that all Torrents are okay.

Viewer descretion is advised.

(I always wanted to say that…)
