New, tips, and more
A friend of mine was telling me about an environmentally friendly font, and it sounded like a hoax, but sure enough, there is such a thing. Apparently some people have developed a font that has “holes” in it, and therefore uses less ink. This is supposed to be better for the environment. Appropriately enough, it’s called Ecofont.
CNBC has a nice interview with Mike Murray, who was marketing manager of the Macintosh at the time of the “1984″ Super Bowl commercial. They also link to the video.
What that commercial did was it picked up on a particular vibe of a large segment of of American society. Young people, innovators, creative people, people who don’t want to feel like they’re just stuck in the masses. And we felt that way, but I think we also perhaps underestimated what a strong vibe that is.
From Digital Photography School:
Digital Cameras seem to be one of the gifts of choice this year for Christmas if the questions in my inbox are anything to go by.
As so many new camera owners are starting out with photography in the new year I thought I’d compile a list of photography tips and techniques that new camera owners might like to work through in the coming weeks.
Some are very basic while others go a little deeper – but all have been selected from our archives specifically for beginners and new camera owners. Enjoy.
I’m not sure if this is official (I think it must be), but there is a site where you can enter some information and have a customized video made about your upcoming trip to a Disney Park.
The video is done as if it is a news broadcast. A woman is on site announcing that for the entire year the theme park will be dedicated to one person. The video is a couple of minutes long, and there are clips of various things that have the name of a person that you have entered. It is very well done. It’s hard to explain, but if you give it a try, you’ll certainly find it to be entertaining.
From PC Magazine:
We know that Vista takes some getting used to—new translucent interfaces, constant security prompts, and Sidebar gadgets, oh my!—but you can’t live in the shadow of Windows XP for much longer. With a little hand holding, we can make your Vista experience smoother (and more beguiling) than ever. Here are 198 tips and tricks to get the most out of Windows Vista.
Last night I wanted to download a YouTube video. I don’t have any utilities on my computer that will do this. My normal option is to use Zamzar. The one problem with this, is that sometimes it takes a while to get the email notifying you that the download/converstion is done. While I was waiting, I did a simple Google search, and found KeepVid. This is a site that lets you enter a URL at any of the big video sites, and it will then provide you with a link to download the video. I did this and had the video downloaded before Zamzar got back to me. For the video I wanted, I was provided with two links… one for an FLV file, and the other for an MP4 video.
