The truth about driving in Germany

NO SPEED LIMIT, the autobahn, ausfarht, smart cars, tiny roads, red and yellow lights at the same time…these are some of the things you may hear when people talk about driving in Germany. But today I’m going to set all the rumors straight, and give you my point of view as a 18 year old American driver in Germany…

iLife 06

In my Career Practicum class, where I have 2 periods of work, I have been able to mess around with iLife 06 lately. Actually at my CP class I learned how to Podcast. Now with iLife’s new tools podcasting is too easy…

I WAS FEATURED ON DIGGNATION!

I woke up this morning and downloaded the episode, listened to the last 3 minutes and my email/diggnation t-shirt picture was featured on Diggnation!

Pretty cool stuff, over 100,000 people listen to/ watch Diggnation, not too shabby. Alex stinks at saying Wiesbaden (VEES-BOD-IN) though, but I’m still pretty pumped. If you haven’t heard it yet go listen, if you have then go listen again!

P.S. I haven’t seen the video version yet, 5 Bucks a month is just too much for me…but on Wednesday I’ll take a screenshot.

UPDATE: I saw the video version, thanks to Ron’s comment…I took some screenshots, which can be found on my flickr.

Making video web friendly

Video on the web is a huge part of the internet experience of today. Being involved in video, I decided that I needed to stay with the times and post my video works online for the world to see. There are a number of struggles faced when publishing video including bandwidth, storage, time, clients, compression…I plan on sharing with you how I faced these struggles and host my weekly vidcast Video Class.

Podomatic - Best Podcast hosting on the net

I thought I should give some props to a great service offered online that I’ve been involved with, and you should check out.

Podcast hosting can initially be confusing for the average user, but there are a number of services that make podcasting free and easy. I started doing podcasting all manually, coding the RSS myself, but then I realized that there were services that made podcasting much easier than all of this manual coding.

I did a lot of browsing until I found the best deal on the internet, Podomatic. Podomatic.com offers 250 MB free hosting and 7.5 GB monthly transfer…100% free!

This was far better than any other service that I was able to find so I signed up. Since that time I’m overcapped my free Podomatic hosting using 9 GB of my 7.5 GB bandwidth. I emailed Podomatic about this problem and they scored me a free Paypal donate button and gave me a seven day grace period…

Podomatic is great all around, they have great hosting plans and even better customer service.

Google’s philosophy

Web users and geeks alike are all asking the same question, “Google, what are you doing?” How often do we see a nifty new Google web-app or program and wonder what it has to do with the companies future?

I’ve decided to look deeper at everyone’s favorite search engine and I think I may have found what their up to…

Ever wonder how movies are played?

If you are into tech, like me, you are cursed [or blessed, depending on how you look at it] with wondering how everything works, sometimes you aren’t even able to enjoy things because you’re pondering what is going on behind the scenes. Well today I plan on answering one of your questions [if you didn't already know] how movies are played in the movie theatre.

Bored…then you have to check this out

If you are like me you probably sit on the computer, not literally of course, and look at your RSS feeds waiting for something cool to happen. I figure that everything on the internet comes through my handful of RSS feeds. So Evan showed me this wig (another word for cool) game, which actually made it to the front page on one of my RSS feeds, Digg.
