I can take it all with me...literally!



Well, being the righteous dude that I am (yeah, I said righteous, I am bringing it back!!!!), I decided that I would let you guys in on my new favorite program, Orb. Now, have you ever been somewhere and thought that you saved an important paper to your flash drive...only to find out that it didn't save to it? Have you been at a friend's house and you want to show them pics of your latest vacation but you don't have the camera with you? I know I have been in this situation quite a bit. Now there is software out there that will allow you to "remote access" to your computer from another one but that can get pretty expensive....well, fear not, my computer savvy friends, THERE IS ORB!!!!! Orb is a free remote access program that will allow you to access videos, pics, documents, and even webcams and live TV* from your personal PC from any PC, Internet-enabled PDA/Smart phone( in my case Blackberry), Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc! Now, I have tried this out for a couple of days now and I love it!!! I have already used it numerous amounts of times to help me at work and in my spare time...if I have any. It is a very easy to configure and learn program and it is great!!! In my opinion, this is probably the best program I have found online that is free EVER! So go to www.orb.com, check them out.

I know you appreciate the knowledge that I impart on you...so no need to thank me..LMAO!
*Dependant on if you have a TV tuner card.
**Your phone has to have the ability to stream media....read the website and they will tell you...

Kickstart: Video review

I was browsing on Crackberry.com (the best site for new info on BB's) and came across this video review of the new flip Blackberry....that's right I said flip Blackberry. From what I can see, this is gonna be huge for RIM. A flip screen Blackberry...looks better than the Pearl to me...




Yeah thats whats up....I am gonna cop that for my wife...Sell her Pearl, add the funds to the savings for the Thunder!!!! Shout out to Kevin for the review.

The Dark Knight = AWESOME!

So this Saturday, I had practically beg the wife to come to the movie to see the Dark Knight with me. She is a chick flick type of girl (as are 99% percent of them are) and I am an action flick guy so you understand my struggle. She complained for the whole previews but when the opening scence came on....both of our jaws dropped. I mean this movie was great! From the acting to the way they tied the first movie so eloqeuntly together. Heath Ledger really did his thing in this movie. I mean from watching the cartoon as a child and reading the comics also, he really embodied the real essence of The Joker. The plot twist and suprises were a welcome change. Overall, this was the best movie I have seen all year. Go see it if you havent yet.

Been a while..

Well, it has been a while since I have posted on the blog. I have been procrastinating....AKA being lazy when it comes to blogging on items I know you love to read about. I started off good then decreased from there on in. I have realized that and now I am going to resume my nearly daily posts about technology and the world around me so keep checking back...more new things to come.

Been a while..

Apple sold a million iPhones!!!

Now, given that there are over about 300 million people in the USA, this seems like a small number in comparison but it is still amazing. Apple sold a million iPhones in 3 days! Being a Blackberry fiend that I am, I am still amazed that they sold that many phones. Truly, Steve Jobs is trying to solidify Apple's place in the smartphone realm. I mean I will never buy an iPhone but I have to give props where it is due. Anyway, I believe that they know that Blackberry is coming out with a touchscreen and they are going to try and saturate the market before "The Real Deal Holyfield" shows up aka The Blackberry Thunder....

Headers...

So I got a new program on my computer, ULEAD 3D Studio and that is how I create headers and other 3d graphics for different things. I am getting pretty good at it and I am learning a lot everyday about what I can do for it. I might even start a lil' side business making 3d logos and what not. I mean you can do a lot and add a whole bunch of effects to a simple pic or text line. In the mean time, I am working on a header for Brianna Glenn's blog so be on the lookout for that. I will try and post some more of my ideas and vids on here. I got a slip and slide vid that you must see. So until next time....

p.s. to see an example of my work, go to www.davidoliverhurdles.blogspot.com to see the header I created for him.
