Ready for Spring - BLOOM

Here’s a very nicely shot video of a community welcoming spring coming into the city. I found the video on Vimeo, which has great quality videos in a larger format normally than YouTube. This particular video is by Matthew Brown with background music from Brian Eno and J. Ralph.

BLOOM - HD from Matthew on Vimeo.

The colors and imagery in this video are astounding. As for welcoming spring, I couldn’t quite figure out why everyone was reversed.

A few of them I’ve seen, but oddly enough most of them were new to me. Not sure how that occurs with a video becoming viral, I thought part of that achievement would be that millions and millions of people have heard of and or seen it themselves.

If videos aren’t you thing, maybe one of these other categories is your cup o’ tea:

Albums, Animal Stories, Awkward Moments, Best Biz Deals, Best Performances, Breakups, Buzzwords, Campaign Gaffes, Campaign Video Moments, Children’s Books, Crime Stories, Editorial Cartoons, Election Photos, Fashion Moments, Fashion Faux Pas, Fiction Books, Financial Collapses, Fleeting Celebrities, Food Trends, Gadgets, Green Ideas, iPhone Apps, Late Night Jokes, Magazine Covers, Medical Breakthroughs, Movies, Museum Exhibits, News Stories, Non-fiction Books, Oddball News Stories, Olympic Moments, Open Mic Moments, Outrageous Earmarks, Photos, Plays and Musicals, Political Lines, Quotes, Religion Stories, Scandals, Scientific Discoveries, Songs, Sports Moments, T-shirt Worthy Slogans, TV Ads, TV Episodes, TV Series, Underreported Stories, Video Games, Viral Videos, Worst Biz Deals

Comparing YouTube, Vimeo and Viddler

I recently returned from a family trip to Walt Disney World. I received a Flip Ultra video camera from my mother-in-law to take on the trip. I was very impressed with the little camera and it really came in handy for quickly capturing video clips of our trip and memories.

Since the Internet connectivity at Disney was less than I expected and I’m now back at home, it’s time to get all the videos uploaded so we can all share them with our families. The problem is that I’ve got 100+ videos now loaded onto YouTube and I’m noticing that the video quality is really bad so I stared looking for other options.

Which is better quality? YouTube, Viddler or Vimeo?

I’ve uploaded the same video to these three services and I’m interested in getting your feedback on which one has better video and sound quality compared to each other?

Watch the video embedded below on each service and then use the poll to tell us which service you feel is the best. If you know of another service that’s better than YouTube, Viddler or Vimeo you can add your choice to the poll.

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. I’m not sure what cracks me up more though, the chimp or the song itself.

Just when I was really enjoying all the connections I have been making in Facebook, some jerk hackers are ruining the fun for lots of people.

A few friends of mine on Facebook appear to be infected, and another friend just called to let me know about it and if I knew anything specific.

They’ve released a new worm into the world that spreads itself through a link being sent around with a Google video. When you try to play the video it prompts you that you need to download a new codec. WHATEVER YOU DO DON’T DOWNLOAD THE NEW CODEC!

Here’s my general reminder and warning to everybody. Don’t upgrade something if you’re prompted unless you absolutely trust the site you’re on. Know what you’re upgrading. Even then, I recommend not doing the automatic upgrade if prompted and going to the manufacturer’s site directly without following a link.

Don’t open attachments from people in e-mail that you weren’t expecting to receive. This includes from people you know and for attachments where you actually recognize the file type. Both of these things can be spoofed.

This was an absolute classic so many years ago. It’s still funny.

Who’s a current star you’d like to see read Seuss nowadays?

Zack Kim – Playing Two Guitars at Once

Not sure how many other people of seen these videos or heard of this guy, but pretty impressive! I’m guessing it’s similar to a piano player, but seems like it would be much more difficult. Also impressive to me is how drummers can have separate rhythms with hands and feet.

I played trumpet, so just using 3 fingers was enough of a challenge.

You can uncover more of Zack Kim’s talents on his YouTube page, MySpace page and his website.
