Bliss me blog for I have been lockedinned, it’s been 19 days since my last post!!

Well, it has been a busy couple of weeks so I have a lot to post about here, where I will get into in the next post. The last one was 19 days ago and I haven’t got my Nine Inch Nails cd yet, but not to worry as it is still been by soundtrack for the last few week. Class album, nuff said.. well except that I must make a video for them (along with all the other videos I am making!).

Talking about video, that is what this post is about.. well one aspect of it… online video.. and how you search and view it. One of my favourite web apps from the last couple of months has been Cool Iris’ “PicLens“. I gave it a mini review in the asides post on the, well, side of this page. Really I should have gave it more of a review as I think it is a fantastic little add-on for Firefox and really puts an new slant on image search. It is so slick and I reckon we will be seeing a lot more webapps in this style over the next few months. I guess they are built in the Adobe Flex environment, but I can’t be sure. Anyway I was showing it off the other day and was thinking “wouldn’t it be really cool if it done video too?”. Well, guess what… it does!! Just as I got online today there was an update for it.. for YouTube videos and it works a charm. You can see it in action in the images above where I did a search for remix (something on my mind a lot this week) and the random video I pulled up is from Matt & Kim… and here it is…

(can you guess where they got that riff from?… answers on the back of a postcard or in the comments!!)

In the style of Will I Am’s Yes We Can tune backing Obama,
comes a remake closer to home from Morgan C. Jones and friends at The 1989 Show. It was time for Bertie to get some treatment…

I was sitting in a recording studio one day wondering…”if they can get a song out of a relatively inexperienced newcomer like Obama…imagine what I could do if I used the honey words of the greatest statesman of them all, Bertie Ahern?” Imagine no more.
