Playing with Videos

Spending time experimenting with various videos including Youtube videos has been my hobby for a while now. I even make some videos myself in my spare time and then convert them to various formats to be able to carry them with me at all times. It comes as no surprise that I find a video converter for mac to be useful to me, especially since I have several devices at home that run completely different systems.

To be honest, I don’t know what I would do with my free time were it not for all the video converting stuff that I do on a regular basis. I guess my life wouldn’t be the same were it not for all the stuff I am doing with the videos. I will try to publish several of my video experiments later this week when I have some more time on my hands. Tell me what you think about it and I will be more than happy to listen to your suggestions. Also, tell me about your experiences with any video converter you have used. Was the software user friendly? Did you enjoy using it? Would you use it again given a chance to do so? I hope that you will let me know what you think about it.

Netflix Canada List of 2014


Recently, I thought about looking around, in the pursuit to spot a rather complete, full list of all the good stuff offered by Netflix Canada these days. Unfortunately, though, I wasn’t able to extract much out of my web probing session. All were pretty much the same things, the same list of featured movies. Well, maybe I would have acquired more intel if I did dig deeper or have waited for the perfect timing. But you know what they say, you can’t always wait for something to come. Sooner or later we have to move on.

However, boredom struck me again, which led me back to the same path of finding a new list of movies to watch. And this time, it was a successful encounter. Found an updated list and a couple of juices of real import were gems that I have finally obtained.

Let me begin with the new featured movies for this month in this New Year called 2014…

First of all, we’ve got something for all military, action and adventure fans out there, something worth reclaiming quality Saturday nights with. If you’re guessing G.I. Joe, you are definitely right, and now, it’s the part two, baby! G.I. Joe Retaliation on that army navy platter.

Look, I’m not really a fan of Chinese, Mafia, gangsta, decapitating heads with wooden doors kinds of movies, but hey, I gotta say, IP Man’s an exception. That’s why I got really thrilled when I heard the news from Netflix that IP Man: The Final Fight will be loaded into the arsenal. So yeah, you better watch out and not cry as we Wing Chun Style our way through the dark of the night.

I don’t necessarily leave the last spot for the best or for the least, so don’t get me wrong about sharing about The Promotion being on this month’s list of featured movies ‘cause I’m telling you, it’s a totally rad movie for its genre. It kind of reminds me about the whole Chuck and the Nerd Herd gang trying to make their way to the corporate ladder. Well, at least in the Buy More to get a promotion. But hey, you get the gist, you get the drill. And if you want authentic laughs, The Promotion is something I’d give a thumbs up for.

Moving on, let’s talk about new TV series and episodes. And here’s what I’ve got for you…

Let’s check out the road so far. Ooh, looks like we’ve got a new case. I hope you get my reference and if you do, you are a totally awesome person. But in case you don’t notice, I’m talking about Sam and Dean here, the legendary Winchester brothers as they their way past the roads to save Earth from the constant threats of annihilation. I don’t know if I’d be happy about the idea of it closing in with this 9th season, though, but I guess even the best stuff has to go one way or the other. Let’s all watch the latest at Netflix!

Next off, we’ve got Arrow coming back this January 15th and it’d prolly be with a much heated plot knowing The Flash is about to come into the picture. No wonder they call it the City of Heroes. With Black Canary, The Flash and the Vigilante himself guarding Starling, I can’t really think of anything that can bring the city down. But news flash! Slade’s alive. Shocking, but true. Let’s just wait and see what’s to happen with all new episodes of Arrow from Netflix.

Well, that’s about the latest on the Netflix Canada list I can give you for now. To tell you the truth, that’s not even a fraction of the total figures. That means more streaming enjoyment for you. If you want to get the full latest scoops on Netflix, visit usnetflix.ca. Enjoy!

How a Power Bank Can Save The Day

A couple of years ago, I went to Disneyland with my kids. We had been waiting for this trip for several months before we finally got a chance to embark on the adventure of our dreams. The kids were so hyped and pumped about the trip that it was rather difficult to put them to sleep the night before the departure. But this is not something I want to focus in this post. Since we had anticipated this trip so much, I even bought a brand smart phone to make sure that we had tons of pictures from this particular trip.

On the day of our arrival, we headed out to the park with the smartphone. Little did I know at that time that soon after our departure it would become impossible for me to take any picture. The reason? The battery in my phone died and there was absolutely no way for my to find an electrical outlet in the park. What a shame and what a disappointment it was!

Next time I am going to go on such a long-anticipated trip with my kids I am going to make sure that I take something such as a power bank with me. This small device can work wonders in times of crisis. Just check this post to get an idea what a power bank can do for you and your mobile devices when an electrical socket is nowhere to be found.

Going Wireless

Wireless communications is perhaps the most effective tool for business in the 21st century. The ability to communicate digitally over all geographical boundaries and even through spatial and time boundaries is one of the most important concepts for a company to implement.

Small and mid sized businesses may actually believe that having a wireless communications network is only for enterprise level business. It is actually more important for a small and mid sized business to implement the network because it is one of the only ways that they can compete with a larger business.

Emerging markets and the governments of third world countries are working with countries that have built their infrastructure. They are creating a wider digital infrastructure that is allowing small and mid sized businesses the reach of large companies in third world nations without having to spend a lot of money on private networks. You are now able to reach internally within your company as well as between other companies across all barriers with a minimum of cost. This is what the About Afghan Wireless initiative is all about.

Below are a few of the ways in which hooking into one of these larger wireless networks is helpful for your business.

1 – You will have an advantage over competitors.

Imagine that you are on the plane to another country to deliver a presentation. You realize that there is something missing within the presentation that has to do with accounting. Unfortunately, your accountant is not with you on the trip. If you are hooked into one of the larger wireless networks that are currently being set up, then you will have no trouble getting in touch with your accountant. Your accountant will also be able to fix or add the documentation that you need and send it to you digitally no matter where in the world you are.

2 – Communication becomes cheaper for all business.

Over the past decade or two, communication has been one of the most expensive tools for businesses to implement; however, this trend is reversing itself over the past few years. Communication is now getting less and less expensive, especially for small and mid sized businesses because of the expanding nature of the digital communications structure.

If you are doing business in a third world country like Afghanistan, there is actually a pretty good chance that you can link into the larger wireless network and give and receive communications that will move to their destination with greater clarity than through any other method.

3 – You will be able to recharge your mobile devices anywhere in the world.

With the larger business communications networks, you will be able to recharge your mobile devices even if you are in an emerging market environment. Afghan Wireless Communications is one of the leaders in this initiative, giving all business visitors as well as local businesses the ability to keep their devices charged. No matter what brand of device you have, you can currently get it charged in a convenient way in Afghanistan.

Healthier Smoking-The Technology is Here

Ever since I heard about e cigarettes for the first time, I was absolutely hooked. My uncle has been a smoker for a long time and he is facing lung cancer if he doesn’t stop smoking soon. I care about him very much and I would like to help him somehow by making sure that he doesn’t end up with cancer dying a lot earlier than a man of his age should. This is why when I heard about e-cigarettes, I immediately decided to learm more about them and convince my uncle that switching to them was indeed a splendid idea.

In case you have not heard about electronic cigarettes before, I would like to explain in a few words what electronic cigarettes are all about. As a matter of fact, electronic cigarettes have been around on the market for some time already. Even though they have been around for some time, many people still do not understand completely how they work. Every time you decide to get into something, you need to understand everything about the thing in which you are trying to get into. For example, if you want to start using electronic cigarettes, you will need to learn where to where to buy the best vaporizers. Otherwise, what will you do if you happen to run out of your cigarettes suddenly?

Probably the best thing about electronic cigarettes is that you can smoke them wherever you want to. Since e-cigarettes are not “real” cigarettes, the law prohibiting you from smoking does not apply to you anymore. You can smoke them even in the areas where smoking is normally not allowed. This will save you a lot of time as you will no longer have to look for special places to smoke.

Since there are at least a few types of electronic cigarettes on the market, knowing which one to choose is crucial to making the right decision. Sometimes you may get lucky and you might make the right decision the first time. Sometimes, however, you might not be so lucky and you might need some time to realize where you can get your hands on the best alternative to a regular cigarette. Remember that whatever you do is good for you, but you will find better and worse deals on electronic cigarettes on the Internet. Remember to choose only those deals that are good for you and ones that are guaranteed to offer you something that will be beneficial to you.

Woodworking Time

My grandfather used to be into woodworking. He would teach me all the important stuff including how to use a shelf pin the right way to create the perfect shelf or wardrobe. He also liked to construct his own chairs, which he was really proud of. There is something about woodworking, something that makes it such a fun activity. If you have ever tried anything like that, please share your experiences with me. I am willing to listen to all of them and definitely learn from them.

The Power of Technology

It never ceases to amaze me how much technology is progressing these days. What used to be impossible just a few years ago seems to be possible right now thanks to the many solutions offered by companies such as Donau Next SA who take the progress in technology to a completely new level. This is something that we all have never seen before.

During the next few years, I expect to see more and more solutions offered by them. I have to tell you that I look forward to seeing the solutions and I look forward to taking advantage of them. I am sure that I am going to use an application or two offered by them in the nearest future.
