Need Recommendations For Video Hosting

mike — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 03:20:19 +0000

So rather than just throw you the previous “my shit’s broke” post and let you dwell on that for a few more weeks before my next post (I kid!), I have an honest question to ask…

Does anyone have any favorites when it comes to websites for hosting video online?

Before you answer… “yes, I’ve heard ofÂ YouTube“. I just don’t really want to be in “that mix” (at least in the near future). Â I have dabbled withÂ YouTubeÂ andÂ blip.tvÂ before (bet you didn’t know about that, did ya!?). I do really likeÂ blip.tv,Â but you can’t upload something and make it private or just share with a select group. You upload something there and everyone and their brother can have at it. Â

I eventually plan on usingÂ blip.tvÂ (or something else if I find something better) for a little experiment I’m working on. Â For now I just have someÂ embarrassingÂ videos of family members playing Guitar Hero 3 from Thanksgiving that I’d like to share with them and not some pre-teen from Pigsknuckle, Arkansas (nothing against you, if you’re a loyalÂ marusin.comÂ reader!)… Â :)Â

Does anyone have any opinions on FeedLounge?

I’ve been thinking about giving it a whirl… Bloglines just isn’t doing it for me lately (is it the website or are people constantly republishing their RSS feeds?) and I’ve been hearing some good things about FeedLounge as of late. It practically looks like a piece of “client-based” software and has a very slick interface.

I know some people are detered by the cost of FeedLounge, but if it’s a useful tool then it’s totally worth it to me. I use my RSS reader more than anything else other than my actual operating system.

What kind of car are you?

On yesterday’s Croncast, Kris and Betsy brought up an interesting question:

“If I was a car, what kind of car would I be?”

With that question repeating itself over and over in my head, I spent the rest of my morning commute thinking about what kind of car I would be… After much thought (and analyzing every car I passed or was stuck behind), I finally figured it out…

I would be a Volvo 240 Station Wagon. Practical, a bit quirky, but unexpectedly cool. :)

What kind of car would you be?

FYI, that’s not me in the back of the car. Picture “borrowed” from some site in Sweden…

Can someone please explain to me why people still insist on using fax machines in an age when we have such things as scanners and email?

I guess my life just moves a little faster than 33.6k

We have a bird who has decided to build a nest and lay it’s eggs inside the exhaust duct from our oven’s vent hood. I did not invite them there and am willing to do anything to get them out.

The duct on the side of our house is too tall to reach with a ladder. Is there anything I can do from the inside to gas them out or something? I don’t really feel like removing the whole microwave/hood to get at them (nor do I want them to get further inside my house than they already are).
