Videos and BDU Pants

Taking a break from intellectual property and looking through the cornucopia of trite online videos, somehow there is a relief when I go to the LAPolicegear site and check out their video and photo section that has unique material that I am sure people have never seen before. The store's name has traveled from the cloying heat of Iraq to the blood-crystallizing chill of Antarctica.


That reminds me that I need to donate my khaki pants to a local rummage sale and get a pair or two of BDU Pants for those dusty horse rides around Lompoc. I love that area's specific terrain color.

Blue Ray Thoughts

Finally, someone out there can offer real, hands-on account of the Blue Ray experience. Ever since the industry announced going into this direction, it appeared as if thing were going into a twilight zone. I am not a gamer, though I have a supermodded hyperclocked PC which serves everything else except videogaming purposes, I have been contemplating replacing my DVD/CD drive which has broken down through non-use, a vicitm of USB dongles. At Raging Tech I had a glimpse into Blue Ray and its relative utility. I guess its major thrust is at the movies. Somehow the blogger inspires trust, considering his resume (see his personal 8 Random Facts). Literate, perspicuous, and savvy. I understand that a standalone, dedicated Blue Ray player would be perfect.

SocialCardsters, Web 2.0

Just when we thought the limits to Web 2.0 have been explored, Ben Spark has come up with another idea for social blogging. He even came up with a new buzzword for it, SocialCardSter . Checking out http://www.benspark.com/socialcardsters reveals that it is especially suitable for the bloggers who are on SocialSpark and on Entrecard. The concept is about copying the blog roll and pasting it to a blog. It is also possible to add the SocialCardsters image to under one's Entrecard widget. Ben commits himself to a blogroll by dropping in on participating blogs and clicking on the blogs that are advertising. That serves to improve anyone's EC standing. Ben also tries to comment each week.
