YouTube - Broadcast yourself

Created in February 2005, this revolutionary site has changed the way we share footage forever.

But then again you all probably knew that (Because like Google and Facebook, YouTube is one of the most popular websites on the Internet)

YouTube uses Adobe Flash Video technology and allows users to upload video files of numerous formats. The site consists of multiple Vlogs (video blogs), music videos, TV shows and multiple media clips. The site is user friendly and free to use.

Of course because it's free anyone can upload anything and many people upload nonsense or terrible quality footage. When one searches on youtube there is no 'safe search' per-say and therefore one must be responsible and careful when searching...

But then again the flip side of that is that there is a lot of good in youtube. One can find research in the form of documentaries and studies or entertainment in the form of multiple vlogs and clips.

One of the commonly asked questions is how one can save a video off YouTube - well the answers easy but slightly illegal...
Generally if you wish to use a video for commercial use without the permission of the creator is illegal, if however you wish to keep the video to watch on your phone, ipod, PSP etc then it is perfectly legal.

One can download you tube videos using a multitude of free of the self products. Some require downloading onto your computer whilst the more efficient and free products can be found on numerous sites such as SaveVid and KeepVid

To really take full advantage of YouTube one should sign into the site and create an account. Once users have done this, they can comment on videos, upload videos and subscribe to numerous other users video blogs.

You can check out our first video on our video blog at YouTube by following the link in the side bar or by clicking on the link below.....

FaCeBoOk!

Well, since one of our latest post was about Skype, I figured since we have our own page on facebook, I will do it on FACEBOOK!
And no, this is NOT Facebook!


Facebook is a social network service and website launched in February 2004 that is operated and privately owned by Facebook, As of July 2010 Facebook has more than 500 million active users!! Users may create a personal profile, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their profile. Additionally, users may join common interest user groups, organized by workplace, school, or college, or other characteristics. The name of the service stems from the colloquial name for the book given to students at the start of the academic year by university administrations in the US with the intention of helping students to get to know each other better.
Facebook allows anyone who declares themselves to be at least 13 years old to become a registered user of the website.
A January 2009 Compete.com study ranked Facebook as the most used social network by worldwide monthly active users, followed by MySpace. Entertainment Weekly put it on its end-of-the-decade "best-of" list, saying, "How on earth did we stalk our exes, remember our co-workers' birthdays, bug our friends, and play a rousing game of Scrabulous before Facebook?" Quantcast estimates Facebook has 135.1 million monthly unique U.S. visitors.

Facebook really is a great way of speaking with your friends and family, weather they sitting online on the computer in front of you (that does happen) lol or if they are on the other side of the world. You get to play awesome games, and catch up on the latest news of what your friends and family are up to. It is a GREAT way of communication.

Something RaNdOm... RIHANNA!!!

Rihanna, born in February the 20th 1988 is a Barbadian RNB artist and song writing.

Rihanna moved to the United States when she was only 16 to pursue a recording career under the guidance of record producer Evan Rogers. She subsequently signed a contract with Def Jam Recordings after auditioning for then-label head Jay-Z.


In 2005, Rihanna released her debut studio album, Music of the Sun, which peaked in the top ten of the Billboard 200 chart and features the Billboard Hot 100 hit single "Pon de Replay." Less than a year later, she released her second studio album, A Girl Like Me (2006), which peaked within the top five of the Billboard albums chart,and produced her first US number one hit single, "SOS", as well as Billboard Hot 100 top ten entries "Unfaithful" and "Break It Off". Rihanna's third studio album, Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, featured five top ten hits including three US number one hit singles—"Umbrella", "Take a Bow" and "Disturbia"—and the worldwide hit "Don't Stop the Music". WOW!! The album was nominated for nine Grammy Awards, winning Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Umbrella," which features Jay-Z. Her fourth studio album, Rated R, was released in November 2009, and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200. Its first three singles, "Russian Roulette", "Hard" and "Rude Boy" peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, with "Rude Boy" peaking at number one. She released her fifth studio album, Loud, in November 2010, that features the US number one singles, "Only Girl (In the World)" and "What's My Name?" which have been a huge hit all around the world!

Rihanna is one of the most popular singers of RNB that everyone knows. She comes up with AWESOME videos, outfits, haircuts and SONGS!! Her lyrics are so true and always make you think about them and asociate them with our lives. She has done great songs and more still to come! :)

Here are some of her craZy/aweSomE haircuts:

Skype revealed

So you have Skype... a program using both IM (Instant Messaging) and VoIP since 2003... Using Skype you can call someones computer via a landline or have video live chats... And if you don't have a microphone or a camera you can engage in a conference call and reply with the IM feature - brilliant, but what can you do to enhance your Skyping experience?
Well That's what this blog post is all about....

First for the easy stuff ;)

If you wondering why the squirll is named Heidy.... One of the Skype staffs name is Heidy...

Now for the awesome stuff ;)
Being a Mac user I found this... Sorry Windows - I'll update you all when I find the short cut...

Here's how you can find the hidden ones without accessing internet at all. ctrl click on the Skype application in Finder, and click "show package contents." This should have brought up another window. Click "resources" in this window, and from there find the folder entitled "emoticons," then click "animated emoticons." After the second hyphen in each image, there's the name, which can be typed between the parentheses in Skype Chat. This trick (for Mac) reveals every optional emoticon.

Now here's a good link to all the commands I'm currently aware of...

http://kosi2801.freepgs.com/2008/12/20/skype_chat_commands.html

Then If you really want to be cool stuff - Try some of these (Don't kill me if they don't work! They worked for me!)

blinking       <BLINK>blinking skype mood text</BLINK>

bold             <b>your text</b>

underline     <u>underline me</u>

colored        <FONT COLOR="#FF0000">colored text</FONT>

size              <FONT SIZE="14px">Big text</FONT>

Now for what you've all been waiting for! The other really awesome stuff! :) 

Have Fun! 

(These can be used for anything and not only Skype... Really cool for Facebook Statuses and the likes!)

Wanna know the Facebook emoticons? 

Well you came to the right place ;) 

This is what extensive non-stop studying does to you.... I'm just saying... (and I say that far too often) 

 

Okay - the basics are as follows... 

 Now for the fun stuff that takes forever to do - But I have conveniently typed out for you all to copy and paste ;)

Study Procrastination

Yea Yea... It's not a good thing but hey if you're reading this during exams - you're doing it too... 

I'm just saying... just putting out there...  

So I thought you guys could do with some funny cartoons and pictures (to lift the exam stress a bit - you know I'm just that kind)

... And if your parents come in while you're browsing, you can always claim you're studying maths, because that's what I was doing when I found all of these.

Pythagorus.... 

Sometimes I wish that People like Rene decartes (The straight Line graph) and Mr Pythagorus (A squared + B squared = C squared) didn't have such great ideas - just so that I wouldn't have to be so confused in the exam.... But then again Where would we be without the straight line graph? Pi or any of the other mathematical break-throughs?   

For those of you still learning - Pi is an irrational number ;)

My maths teacher says Pi is pronounced Pi and not Pie... I tend to like 'Pie' as the pronunciation - it makes me think about lunch - mmmmm....

Sometimes I feel like the two on the right...

This is why we go to school and learn...

(Yea - we so go to school in case we land up on an abandoned island!) 

Our dogs are like this... Always and especially during exams :P 

I hope none of you are like this...

Okay - so to all of you writing exams - Good luck...

I write EMS (economic management sciences) tomorrow, which for all our foreign views is a mixture of accounting and business (neither of which I will be taking next year - thank goodness!)

And to all of you that aren't writing - well hope you had a good laugh... and good luck for when you do...

To all those procrastinating - rock on!
You're awesome!
(But seriously - it's not gonna go away, let's both go and do what we're supposed to) 

  

In tune with the stars

People have been looking at the stars forth a  very long time, thousands of years. Long before calenders and clocks were invented, STARS helped people to know the time of the year and to find their way when travelling long distances. Farmers looked at the stars to know when it was time to plant and harvest crops.

People all over Africa knew the constellation Pleiades (said 'play-deez'). When it appeared in the night sky, it was timo to start hoeing and planting. Xhosa farmers called it isiLemela the 'digging' stars.

Start DIGGING!!! ;)

Purple - more than a colour

Well - if you've been following the blog you'll already know that a purple person AKA indigo child is someone that was supposedly born smarter than the average person and can be seen as the new 'evolved' human species. Studies suggest that if you are currently younger that 18 you could be an indigo child. Only thing is that is a load of absolute gibberish! And went the same way all the alien sightings and big foot research went.
But to be blunt we are smarter than the previous generations, just the other day I asked my mom if I could have an ethernet cable and she replied (not asking why) but rather why I wanted ethernet when I had internet... Ok maybe that's because I spend a lot more time with computers than my mom does, but there in lies my point entirely. When our parent were our age - Cell phones didn't exist, the internet and computer were not as accessible and the biggest source of information was well the library. I doubt a lot of you guys go to the library every time you have a big project - heck I turn to google. We're not necessarily a new species - we've just learnt a whole lot more, a whole lot faster!

We are Purple people. People with a desire to know more about the world and explore... Admit it, we all have that desire - be it exploring a virtual gaming world and shooting the hell out of stuff on your Wii or PSP or researching your hobbies and downloading or collecting stuff. No matter the culture, the country or upbringing we are all the same in some ways. And if you don't mind we being a tad wishy washy - that it pretty dam awesome.

Okay - so that's awesome, but it can only be awesome if we look after our planet (and clearly our politicians are too busy calling each other cockroaches to do it for us - South African joke, sorry foreigners)
It's not hard - change one thing to better the environment (check the side bar for ideas) then get everyone you know to do it to. Before you know it, it could be law.....

The origin of Halloween!!

It all started with a man called Daniel Maclise, showing a Halloween Party in Ireland 1832, so as you can see, it is a quite an old activity. The ancient Celts believed that the border between our world and the ‘’Otherworld’’ became thin on Samhain allowing spirits (harmless and harmful) to pass through. The family’s ancestors were honoured and invited home while harmful spirits were awarded off. They believed that to ward off harmful spirits they’d wear costumes and masks. The reason was to disguise themselves as a harmful spirit to avoid harm. In Scotland the spirits were impersonated by young men dressed in white with masked, veiled or blackened faces. It was also a  time to take stock of food supplies and slaughter livestock for winter stores. The bones of slaughtered livestock were cast into its flames. And from there, people started trick-or-treat, specially children, disguised in costumes an masks, asking for candy or even sometimes money. Some of the countries where people celebrate Halloween are: Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, England, Japan and France.



Exit stage Left

According to parents: 
We're too young for love, too old for "fun", too smart to play dumb and too immature for "grown up" conversations...
So it's no wonder teens are so rebellious. There's simply nothing else to do!!!


And so when Rebellion just isn't an option anymore, we turn to the Internet, to technology, to little distractions that act as a rebellion...


Forum there is no clear cut solution to this problem - it's true, in the day of today we grow up far too fast, I mean when was the last time you played hide and go seek? the last time you played tag or even lay under the starts at night?
What happened to the days when we camped in the back garden, braaied marshmallows and explored the world outside the clinging grip of the ever potent technology? 


I personally can't remember, and maybe the solution is well quite simply to relax a little... Stop working all day everyday and take a break. Make work something you want to do - not have to do. Lively it up a bit, smile and start a conversation with someone new.
Come on! Tell Facebook and YouTube that you don't need to visit them daily (or even hourly) for lengthily periods - In-fact I bet none of you can stay off the Internet for more than week 

We need to relax, smile and enjoy life - otherwise, what is the point of living? 
In my opinion we may as well exit stage left if live is just one big drone...
