Converting all media to digital formats

by macewan on September 30, 2008

So are you going to see with the Blaze Media Pro? One word, everything. From MOV converter to their video encoder and audio converter with an easy to use yet powerful package. Think of it as an all-in-one multimedia application with SVCD, DVD to VCD burning. That all those DVD, CD, TV shows - EVERYTHING can be pulled into the digital format most want. There just isn’t enough room to go through all options they packed into this software.

Standardized Flash Content

by macewan on May 30, 2008

I want to continue with my thoughts this morning about Flash sites. Pros, cons and the shockingly wrong. Let’s continue with standards in mind.

A standardized site

With Flash, you do not have to worry about cross-browser compatibility. No more woes over how a certain css code displays differently in Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera. When you position your site elements in Flash, they will always appear as they are as long as the user has Flash Player installed.

Better expression through animation

In Flash, one can make use of its animating features to convey a message in a much more efficient and effective way. Flash is a lightweight option for animation because it is vector based (and hence smaller file sizes) as opposed to real “movie files” that are raster based and hence much larger in size.

Google Earth Browser based

by macewan on May 29, 2008

Besides all the Android news and views today at Google’s I/O conference they unveiled the browser plugin that allows for browser based access to Google Earth. Guess if I was inclined to flex my semi-clever noodle we could call it Google Earth without the need of Google Earth. *Why do I feel like John Oliver while saying that?

The Google Earth Plug-in and its JavaScript API let you embed Google Earth, a true 3D digital globe, into your web pages. Using the API you can draw markers and lines, drape images over the terrain, add 3D models, or load KML files, allowing you to build sophisticated 3D map applications. If you have an existing Maps API site, you can 3D-enable your page with as little as one line of code.

Ok, so you willing to give it a try? Looks like it’s only available for the Windows platform at the moment. Head over to http://dl.google.com/earth/plugin/GoogleEarthPluginSetup_en.exe to get started.

The meat of the discussion will deal with the FCC’s 02/09 switch to DTV. However, I see this as an opportunity to sqeeze in a question about the Google slap of 2007. In advance questions were accepted by cyber.law.harvard.edu. Click to vote my question up.

by macewan on May 18, 2008

Matt Cutts, a Google Engineer, works towards identifying and fighting spam. Not all spam is easily ID’d though. In this video he discuss “What Google Knows About Spam”. Towards the end he talks about the recent sql injection that hit thousands of sites. I guess the thing to do is what… use a WordPress firewall? Anyway, enjoy the clip.
