Want Better Quality Videos On YouTube.com?

I found out about this trick today…

Let’s say you find a fairly new video on YouTube, but the quality is horrible (like all YouTube videos)…what to do?

Easy… add this to the end of the url:

&fmt=18

And Voila! You now have a higher quality version of that video!

For example - let’s take a look at the Gary Halbert “Gun To The Head” Marketing video:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KEyG-5R5prw

Quality isn’t as bad as most - but this one is better:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=KEyG-5R5prw&fmt=18

Just add the: &fmt=18  to the end of the URL!

Enjoy!

I found this information from Jottings.com and thought it was pretty interesting… you always hear about how long someone has been involved on the Web…

It’s pretty cool to see Northrop as #6… my dad started working for them around 1985, so I’m pretty familiar with the company. Just figured I’d share the information as it was pretty neat seeing some of the names and domains!

LogoSamurai.com Review

OK, I found Logo Samurai on John Cow’s blog when I heard about a contest… I wanted to win REALLY badly, but just couldn’t wait when I seen their work. I knew I needed a new logo since mine was really ugly and boring… I’m not a great Photoshop artist when it comes down to it, although I can do enough to make a nice looking Web 2.0 landing page, website, etc.

So I decided to order. After all, their prices are TOO cheap, if you ask me.

I went through the order process and tried my best to describe what I wanted. The problem is - I didn’t have an up to date picture. The only picture I could find was me with a beanie on. But, since I have a bald head, I was a little worried that they couldn’t get it right…

Even after I placed my order - I was getting worried again… so, being the anxious person I am, I decided to write to them to give more information regarding what I wanted, including an image of my glasses that I always wear (Black Fly’s, by the way! Flys.com).

Then, I told Susan (the person who contacted me after I placed the order…which was a cool follow up!) that I would try to get her an up to date picture of myself… ughhhh my weekend had become too hectic… I couldn’t find the time to get a picture and I’m NOT a camera friendly guy… I HATE PICTURES!

So Susan contacts me today with my Logo after about 48 hours and attaches the Logo images to the email.

Wow…

I was blown away. Everybody who knows me laughs at the logo because it REALLY DOES look like me!

I love the logo. Now I need to get something else from them to freshen up my Blog some more!

I definitely recommend that you at least check out their site!

Click here to visit Logo Samurai!

Thanks Susan!

Just watched TheSecret.tv Video

I’ve finally got to see TheSecret Video and I have to admit… at first I figured it would be some kind of cheesy, overly repeated, money making scam or something.

But actually it had nothing to do with “making money”…well, in general. It was about the Laws of Attraction. You know “positive thinking equals positive results”, etc, etc. The same stuff you can read on Napoleon Hill’s books or hear Anthony Robbins or Brian Tracy speak about.

Shoemoney Used To Be Fat?

I hate using that word but I’m using it for now… I’ve recently started checking out almost everything Shoemoney has typed about on making money Online for about the last 7 months now and he’s been a HUGE inspiration for me.

Five Writers. Six Figures. One Year. SixFigureWriters.com

There’s a new Project in town and this one is very interesting. You see, most of the “Money Challenge” Websites popping up are Men…actually, I don’t think I’ve seen a Female on ANY of them?

Well, good news! SixFigureWriters.com is 4 Women and 1 man! Their goal is to earn Six Figures (hence the title) in One Year (duh). Can they do it? Anything is possible…I’m definately rooting for them!

Good Luck Girls! (and a guy) ;)

We are … Marshall

A Great looking new movie: “We are…Marshall” based on the 1971 Marshall football team that was pieced together after 75 people (Coaches, Players and fans) died on a Plane Crash in 1970. You can read more on the true story, which the movie is based on, at this link [click here].

The Movie looks great and seems to keep close to the Truth, unlike so many movies that claim to be “based on a True Story” or “Based on True Events”.

Cool Domain names for sale

ZuneSessions.com , ZuneNext.com , ZuneFresh.com , ZuneFever.com , GetCustomerSupport.com , KickMyHabits.com

There’s 2 others but they’re not going to be listed until later. Looking for the best offers as I don’t have much time to work on these. Zune is Microsofts newest Electronic toy… it’s going to be the “iPod Killer” from what I keep hearing. I believe it’s going to be released this month too!

InstantHitman.com

Okay, so there’s some strange sites online but this is by far the best strange site I’ve seen in a while. I’m sure there’s probably alot of people that will take offense to this - maybe even someone I virtually killed? Who knows…

Here’s a quote straight from the Website:

Halloween Fun Online!

Alright so a friend of mine posted this in a forum I visit daily… I thought it was pretty cool and definately felt like a Halloween type prank someone could do to someone else.

So, go to a site such as Google.com and do a search for anything - then click “images” at the top so you’ve got a page full of images ready to go.

Next - type one of the following into your Browsers Address Bar:

<code>
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Or you can try the other way:</pre>
<pre><code><code><font color="#000000"><font color="#0000bb">javascript</font><font color="#007700">:{var </font><font color="#0000bb">a</font><font color="#007700">=</font><font color="#0000bb">document</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">getElementsByTagName</font><font color="#007700">(</font><font color="#dd0000">'a'</font><font color="#007700">),</font><font color="#0000bb">r</font><font color="#007700">=</font><font color="#0000bb">0</font><font color="#007700">;</font><font color="#0000bb">setInterval</font><font color="#007700">(function(){for(var </font><font color="#0000bb">i</font><font color="#007700">=</font><font color="#0000bb">0</font><font color="#007700">,</font><font color="#0000bb">l</font><font color="#007700">=</font><font color="#0000bb">a</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">length</font><font color="#007700">;</font><font color="#0000bb">i</font><font color="#007700"><</font><font color="#0000bb">l</font><font color="#007700">;</font><font color="#0000bb">i</font><font color="#007700">++){var </font><font color="#0000bb">s</font><font color="#007700">=</font><font color="#0000bb">a</font><font color="#007700">[</font><font color="#0000bb">i</font><font color="#007700">].</font><font color="#0000bb">style</font><font color="#007700">;</font><font color="#0000bb">s</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">position</font><font color="#007700">=</font><font color="#dd0000">'relative'</font><font color="#007700">;</font><font color="#0000bb">s</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">left</font><font color="#007700">=(</font><font color="#0000bb">Math</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">sin</font><font color="#007700">(</font><font color="#0000bb">r</font><font color="#007700">/</font><font color="#0000bb">10</font><font color="#007700">+</font><font color="#0000bb">i</font><font color="#007700">*</font><font color="#0000bb">2</font><font color="#007700">)*</font><font color="#0000bb">2</font><font color="#007700">)+</font><font color="#dd0000">'px'</font><font color="#007700">;</font><font color="#0000bb">s</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">top</font><font color="#007700">=(</font><font color="#0000bb">Math</font><font color="#007700">.</font><font color="#0000bb">cos</font><font color="#007700">(</font><font color="#0000bb">r</font><font color="#007700">/</font><font color="#0000bb">3</font><font color="#007700">+(</font><font color="#0000bb">i</font><font color="#007700">))*</font><font color="#0000bb">3</font><font color="#007700">)+</font><font color="#dd0000">'px'</font><font color="#007700">}</font><font color="#0000bb">r</font><font color="#007700">++},</font><font color="#0000bb">5</font><font color="#007700">);</font><font color="#0000bb">void</font><font color="#007700">(</font><font color="#0000bb">0</font><font color="#007700">)}

Black Fly’s - Spinner Fly’s

Just thought I would write about my new Spinner Fly’s (Limited Edition so get ‘em while they got ‘em!)… these things are NICE! I honestly didn’t think they’d be as nice as these but they definitely are. They ran out of them a few months back when my “ex-business partner/friend” and I were supposed to be getting free glasses from Black Fly’s. Unfortunately, I didn’t even get the substitute pair they sent out because the guy (ex-friend/business partner) decided he’d make excuses up as to why he wasn’t sending them out.

Luckily I had contacted Arty and settled everything (Mike and Keith left a bad taste in their mouth) with Black Fly’s and he sent me some stuff out. He also sent me a new spinner to fix some a broken one that UPS had broken (hard to tell but the spinner wouldn’t spin correctly even after I tried fixing it).

On that note: Check out www.Flys.com and see all their glasses they’ve got out! Mine are SICK! :)
