To the Moon and back

1/30/2015

 
I watch a lot of online video. This is a fascinating one. Take about 4-minutes to watch it. I recommend watching it with the kids. Watch it with a piece of paper. You'll probably want to start folding it  - the paper. not the kids.

The Weather Lady

1/27/2015

 
Since the Northeast is getting slammed with snow, I tuned into the weather report. However, there's no need to check The Weather Channel or CNN for the report. This fine lady seems to deliver the weather message in a simple and funny manner. See what you think.

Whether it's your hometown or you're traveling, you should definitely check these places to eat - listed by city.

Got photos? Then you will want this app!

1/23/2015

 
There's good apps, then there's outstanding ones. Without a doubt, this is my favorite app. Every day, it looks at my photos (on the phone) and on Facebook (I have none) and automatically delivers photos from the same day from prior years. In essence, buried photos that I would not think to look for. Hey, sort of like my book ... Buried Treasures of the Web. 

If you like good memories, then I recommend installing Timehop now.

This is one example.

This Small House

1/22/2015

 
Since the 1970s our homes have gotten much bigger, but not these. Believe it or not, there is a small house movement. Check some of these out. After viewing these, you might want to downsize.

If you're intrigued, watch this episode of Tiny House Nation.

In Defense of Food

1/22/2015

 
Okay, we're exactly three weeks into the new year. Many people have made the resolution to lose weight and gain health. Almost six years ago, I started that journey. It began when I watched this video presentation by Michael Pollan. Among many other books, he wrote In Defense of Food. This video and that book started my weight loss  and health journey. If you need assistance in that area, I recommend watching this video. 

If you really want to dig deep into weight-loss and better health, check out the January 1, 2015 Daily Nugget.

When was the last time you used one of these?

1/18/2015

 
You might be shocked when you find out where these are still used. I was. As an aside, the other day, I showed a friend the first digital camera that I owned. It used these floppies - total storage: 1.2 megabytes.

Creative Business Cards

1/17/2015

 
Most business cards are pretty boring. Start off the new year with an incredible set of business cards. Below is my card from Moo.com. The back has many different creative sayings with artwork. Moo has hundreds of designs to choose from. This is the one I liked. It makes handing out a business card fun.

Google Translate App

Travel to Iceland

1/15/2015

 
I’m Chad Copeland; I’ve traveled the world filming and taking photos for clients from an adventurer’s perspective. Never have I experienced a place as raw and beautiful as Iceland. This “Ice Saga” will wind us trough Iceland’s rich Southern coastline in search of fire and ice. What I discovered opened my mind to visuals that I never before thought possible.

Forget about reality TV. This is a real life adventure.

Meet Alastair Humphreys. I believe he has done something we've all dreamed about. However, there's one difference: He did it!

Incredible cover of Fleetwood Mac's Gold Dust Woman

1/13/2015

 
This is installment #2 that demonstrates the demise of cable TV. Recently, YouTube has "upped its game" in regard to music. There's a tremendous amount of live concerts housed on YouTube. It also has some creative ways of presenting new music to you.

Enjoy Warren Haynes and Grace Potter's version of Gold Dust Woman. It's outstanding. Further down the page, I have my favorite artist listed. The website it links to provides over 15-hours of live music. Again, just one small example. In Buried Treasures of the Web, I have some tools that will make these YouTube videos even more enjoyable.
Postscript: In 2006, Google purchased YouTube for $1.6-billion. Back then, I thought that was a bargain. Based on recent Internet buyouts, it certainly was.

Meet the founder of Sirius XM - Martine Rothblatt

1/12/2015

The Recall Center

1/10/2015

 
Have you ever watched the evening news? Since the demographic is "old folk", most of the ads are for prescription medications. However, there are many side effects to these powerful drugs. 

The American Recall Center addresses many issues related to medications. This month, it has a special page about a widely used blood thinner - Xarelto.

I've Got a Secret

1/9/2015

 
Picture
Actually, I have two secrets:

1. When I was researching Buried Treasures of the Web, I mentioned Post Secret to people. To my surprise, most people never heard of this wildly popular site. It's been around for a long time.

2. This site was slated to be in the current version of Buried Treasures of the Web. However, I had to yank it. Not because there's anything wrong with the site. It was another site that I paired with it. Secret exposed!

Go ahead and read the deep dark secrets of other people. Maybe you have one that you would like to post.
