Business Week

I just found an article on Business Week that talks about vlogging. You can read the article here. Also I discovered a new website that vloggers can use to upload their videos. It's called YouTube. You can upload your videos to the site for free and your video will be displayed on the front page. It is a good way to get a lot of people to see your work fast. Here is a link to a video that I uploaded.

A few weeks ago my dad, a friend from Canada, and I went to our launching site to fire off our water rocket. We had some difficulties getting the rocket up to pressure, the air was leaking out almost as fast as it was going in. We usually don't have this problem. We launched the rocket a couple of times, however one time it came down nose-first. The video is about 2 minutes long.

I am on itunes

I am on itunes. If you have itunes 4.9 or later you can subscribe to my video podast. Apple released itunes 5 yesterday. Click here to download itunes 5. If you are not farmiliar with the new version of itunes in the lower left-hand conter of the screen you will see "Podcast Directory", with a grey circle and a white arrow in side of it. Click on the arrow to go to the podcast homepage. The page looks very similar to the itunes music store. If you type jason's vlog into the search bar in the left hand colum of the screen, you will find my video podcast, vodcast or vlog or whatever you want to call it. Then click on the free subscribe button. That's it. Or you could skip all of that and click on the itunes button in my link bar on the right hand colum of this page. Anyways I just thought it was cool that I made it onto itunes. Yepee. Also below this post is a short podcast about the new ipod nango, and itune phone. Does anyone know what nango means? I am also interested to hear peoples thoughts about the ipod nango and whether anybody thinks Apple will ever make a video ipod. Steve Jobs has vowed never to release an ipod video however he also said he would never make the switch to intel. Finally what are people opinions about what happened in New Orleans?

Ipod Nano

Yesturday Apple released another ipod, the ipod Nano. It comes in two sizes 2GB's ($199) and 4GB's ($249). Both ipods feature 14 hours of battery life, which should be enough for most users. The main pro of the new ipod is it's size. This ipod is small. It measure just 1.6 x 3.5 x 0.27 inches, and ways a mere 1.5 ounces. You can wear this ipod around your neck and forget that it is there. The ipod features a 1.5 inch color displays just like the ipod photos. It also sports a miniturized click wheel. Except for it's small size this ipod looks pretty much like an ipod photo. According to apple the 4GB model can hold 1000 songs and 25,000 photos. Although some music fan's collection might exceed this limit that is still a lot of music. I calculated that if the average song is 3 minutes long that your ipod could hold 50 hours of music. For those of you who have larger collection the photo ipods which come in either a 20GB or 60GB size should be able to contain your storage needs. The rumored video ipod has still not arrived however Motorola has introduced the MotoROKR, which is the first itunes phone. So now you can take your calls and listen to music at the same time. You can even pause a song when your phone rings so you won't miss a call.
