For the past year I have been experimenting with different video sharing sites. And while youtube is the most popular one around I have found vimeo to be the cool kid on the block.

Vimeo is a thriving community of people who love to make and share video. From simple moments to masterpieces, Vimeo is the perfect home for you to upload, store and share all the video you create. Your video’s quality and security is important to us, and that is why we’ve built advanced privacy options, sharing tools, and high quality video encoding. So whether you are an amateur filmmaker, proud mom, restaurant critic, or just a guy with a cellphone, connect with Vimeo today.

That said I have enjoyed the upload speed and the high quality of their  videos so much that I actually signed up for the Plus program. And with only about 1,6 million users the site is easier to useand the staff are more personal in their approach to problems you might experience. I especially like the HD option.

Slot machine.

Reader Jay sent us this link to a training potty with a built in slot machine that goes off whenever it detects a “deposit.”

It’s probably not a good idea to introduce your kids to gambling at such an early age, but what really bothers us is associating the slots with a basic part of life, conditioning kids to want to gamble on the toilet. Do you really want your son spending an hour in the bathroom playing online poker on his iPhone?

Brad Pitt on what he realized while working on Benjamin Button: “I don’t know if I have a day or 10 days or 10 years or 40 years. Am I halfway or am I close to the end? I don’t know, so I have to make sure I don’t waste those moments in any kind of pettiness or bitterness or laziness, and that I surround myself with the people who are most important to me … Angelina and I are together because we can enhance each other. I don’t want to waste any time because I’m with company I really, really love.” [The Telegraph]

Why I tumble….

December 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Recently I started doing the micro-blogging thing albeit on tumblr.com

It took me some time too get used to but eventually I started to like it….and now I cannot stay away from it…

One tumblr sets out perfectly why we tumble…

What keeps you blogging with Tumblr?

sparo:

For me, it’s the feeling of knowing that someone is reading my blog. It brings an overwhelming joy to know someone, somewhere in the world is reading what I have to say. I’ve never really had that feeling before. I know, that sounds all ‘middle school emo kid’ of me, but it’s true.

I’ve tried Blogger and Wordpress, and have quit both of them; both for the fact that I know no one is reading it. The only way to get someone to read your Wordpress or Blogger is to promote like bats out of hell, and I didn’t want to do that. Although now Blogger has “follow” feature, (I wonder where they got that from) they still probably will never get another sign-up from me.

The Tumblr community gives me a sense of place. Through Tumblr, I’ve met a lot of cool people and would just like to thank all of you for that. :)
