PIxelodeon

Pixelodeon took place at the American Film Institute this weekend, but I was unable to go due to some previous commitments with my band.

Cheap plugs rock. Anywho, Pixelodeon is an annual conference essentially celebrating online video. Bloggers and vloggers from all over attended and discussed changing face of web video, blogging, and mobile video. My colleagues said it was quite fun, and that the Ask A Ninja ninjas really are that funny. You should check out the Pixelodeon blog, as well as their Flickr, Blip.tv, and Technorati tags.

WordPress

After many, many months of sitting dormant, I decided to update and revive my personal domain by starting a blog powered by WordPress. Once I get the go-ahead from our tech people, I'll move this thing onto our own servers and power it with WordPress. Until then, I'm stuck here.

Auto Channels, Maps, and Coach Hines

Hey, hey. Now you have control over your Auto Channels. While they will still update regularly, you can now drag clips out of Auto Channels and into your Library. What's cool about this is that you can select only the clips you want from an Auto Channel and create your own channel with them. I created this Coach Hines (hilarious MadTV character) channel by picking out clips from an Auto Channel. LAUGH, YOU!



Hopefully, by now you've played around with Google Maps' new Street View feature that gives you a real-life 360 degree view. I found this site that has a list of interesting places that users have found. Check it out: www.laudontech.com/StreetView/streetview.html

Ooh, I found a shot of the wireless Gibson Les Paul prototype for Guitar Hero. The Les Paul is fine and all, but I want a Flying V. Hey, a Guitar Hero "Flying V, Spandex pants, and blonde perm" accessory pack sounds like an awesome idea. Oh, how much would an "Yngwie Malmsteem Fjookin' Fjoory accessory pack with bonus gut!" rock? A ton. That's how much.
