Convert Files to iPod Video Format

I was in a slump. The reason was this; I will soon be getting an iPod Video, if Bestbuy decides to stop being idiots and get more than 5 like the did last time, and anyways I wanted to covert some of my movies or shows to quicktime format for the iPod....but I did not have a good program for doing it. Well this program called Videora not only does this, it makes it the exact size as the iPod's screen! What a great feature. You can find the program to download here or you can click here for more information on the product.

Videora converts files such as avi, mpeg, etc into quicktime.

Stepmania: The DDR Alternative

If you hadn't noticed by my email addy (ddrfreak007@gmail.com) that I like ddr (Dance Dance Revolution), well now you do. DDR is a great way to stay in shape, and lose a few pounds while your having a blast! DDR is out for most of the new video game counsels such as the PS2,Xbox, and Gamecube. However you have to purchase the game as well as the pads to play, unless you want to just use a controller but then whats the point of Dance Dance Revolution?

Well if you don't have any of the counsels listed above, don't worry. If you have a computer, and I am assuming you do otherwise how would you be reading this, then there is a program called Stepmania. Stepmania is a DDR simulator that will let you play ddr through your computer. It is awesome for modding, possiblities are endless. You can change themes, arrows, make it look like the arcade versions, whatever your heart desires. Stepmania is a stand-alone program. That means that it doesn't come with all of the songs. What you need to do is download the song packs or individual songs and then you can run them with stepmania. Personally the best site that I have found with great choices for DDR packs was DDRUK. You have to set up an account with them but it is not a big deal and its a free account so no worries. Some people may have issues on the legality of it. Some say that if you purchase the mp3 than your good to go but really there is not that big of a threat. Just to be safe though you may want to buy the mp3 for the corresponding song you wish to play.

If there are any questions feel free to email me at: ddrfreak007@gmail.com

Playing Advertisements

Anyone who has ever been on the internet has seen an ad. Most all web pages have them. Well anyway moving on to one of my most stupid posts, this entry is going to be about playing those advertisements. This should only be done when a person is REALLY bored and has nothing else to do. This should only be done with Firefox. Here is what to do; first, find an ad banner that you would like to play, such as punch osama or make a basket or hit the ball, etc...; second, make sure you are using Firefox; now you can play the ad without it opening up tons of other windows. If any other windows do open up, its time to find another ad, or get Firefox to block the ad popping up.

Well this concludes my pretty pointless post. Thanks for reading. I promise there will be better posts in the future such as how to keep ear bud headphones from tangling and how to keep any videogame controller organized and tell it apart from friends at the same time.

Public Speaking Tips

  • Keep the audience in mind as you prepare. Stay away from predictable beginnings, rather, start with an intriguing question or set up a clear problem.


  • You won’t be able to cover everything you’d like to so set some clear goals regarding the most important points and focus on those.


  • Talk about your material instead of lecturing about it. This is easier to achieve if you are not reading your script, rather, use notes.


  • Interact with the audience - ask questions, get people involved - since people learn better when they are actively participating.


  • Leave time for Q&A and address everyone politely.
