Wordpress 2.5
(1)
I was just about to update the flickr video post on how easy it was to embed the video but instead I have to say I'm really enjoying the new release of Wordpress. I haven't used it enough to write a full post, which I won't, but everything I've tried to do is either much easier than before or greatly improved. Like embeding that flash video, it was as simple as: clicking html, pasting, clicking visual again in the editor, finishing the post and publishing. Adding video before this was more painful than listening to Steve Gillmor talk about the "Reader ...

Finally…flickr does video
(8)
Ever since we started using flickr, in 2005, I had been anticipating this day to come...3 years later flickr added video support. It's clearly not a youtube competitor and I'm glad its not, they can keep their social/viral/hilarious video. Even though YouTube has more to offer, only because it's pioneering and trying to keep ahead in that space, flickr will host most of our video. flickr is our online "scrap book"/photo-album and since our events, the iPhoto term, include video its only natural to keep them all in one place. Testing out the feature I found nothing special. It's the same as uploading ...

iLife and iWork ‘08
Comments
iWork 08 Yesterday I posted about Numbers and I shyed away from posting about the other two apps in iWork '08; Pages and Keynote because the only thing out of those two apps that's worth mentioning is "action builds" for Keynote. Action builds is a very cool feature and to have it in a presentation software makes me say "finally". Keynote has had animations in previous versions but not like this. Instead of building the motion in another application like Flash or Final Cut you can just create simple paths for our objects and build it within Keynote. The video reminds me ...

Vacation
Comments
I just wanted to post how great our vacation trip was last week. The camping trip un-tethered me from the internet enough to give Google Reader some time off too. I have plenty of flickr photos of the trip and some of me wakeboarding, yes I know, I can't wakeboard. Well, I can't wakeboard well enough so I could jump higher and make it look cool in pictures. Other than those few pics I had a great time riding, I learned to do 180s this year, hopefully next time I'll learn how to stay switch after landing for more than ...

Goodbye…
(5)
I'm purging my online identity to just a few locations that I actually use since it was getting out of control. The major account escape that led to the purge was myspace, as you might have noticed if I'm a friend of yours. The others include: tumblr - It's a great "blog" service that compiles a lot of your online feeds into one online log. I liked the idea but it's not something I see people using (for me) since if their my friend they can see my feed at facebook. last.fm - I never used this as much as ...

Apple TV
Comments
Following these directions to boot OS X from a USB drive I was able to modify the AppleTV filesystem to enable SSH. Running SSH allows for just about anything: Added Quicktime components to enable DivX, Xvid, WMV and just about anything else. # Added a plugin to browse files on the AppleTV. Otherwise you won't be able to play those DivX and Xvid files. # Ran a afp:// mount in order to browse the media files on another system/server. # Enable VNC. # I can't wait for some more plugins. I might install the RSS plugin if they get video RSS rolled into it. I have ...
