For the longest time I had held off on paying for television services either cable or satellite. I even avoided FTA (free to air), basically hacked satellite service. I basically relied on getting my television or movie fixin’ via the internet. I admit though, I still have a Blockbuster movie pass because I still want to watch movies via my home theater but in order to get by on the times when I run out of interesting movies to watch or if I am traveling, I rely on the internet and all its great content available.
Here are some sites, in no particular order I use to get my television or movie programming:

After reading an article by Engadget, I completely agree with their point of view that consumers should hold-off on buying the Apple iPhone. The reason is with their latest firmware update, it sacrifices many features that catapulted this super smart phone to an all-star status to fight against unlocking the phone so consumers cannot use the iPhone with other carriers. The 1.01 update essentially neutered the iPhone capabilities and only added the Wi-Fi iTunes store but at what cost?

If you are a meeting planner, coordinating a convention conference or expo show or the IT manager of a hotel then you will need to consider bumping up your current bandwidth if you are still using a single T-1. The reason is, a single T-1 is just not sufficient any more for holding a conference nowadays especially entering the Web 2.0 age where multimedia and interactivity is key. No more are the days where browsing the web and checking email was the only need for having internet access.

I had written a previous article describing why some people experience sending emails out with their email client software such as Outlook. After receiving some feedback that it was difficult to understand because I did not explain how to look up SMTP since it differs from each internet service provider. I will try to explain how you can locate who your current internet service provider is and then go on Google and look up there SMTP server. Here are some simple steps to take, step by step in doing so.
- Click on your START menu on the lower right corner.
- Click on RUN and a window will open up.
- Inside the window you can type in “cmd” without the parenthesis.
- Now, another window, the DOS prompt will open and now type “ipconfig” without parenthesis.
- You can locate your current Connection Specific DNS Suffix which will be your current ISP (internet service provider); even if you are on a router.
- Now with this information handy; go to Google and search the ISP and the word “SMTP”.
- View through the results and you will most likely find your SMTP server.

When I started creating an ecommerce website, I had consulted my friend 3 years ago on what would be a good choice to start with. He told me to use OsCommerce because it is open source, free and customizability. I only had knowledge of html and did not understand PHP or MySQL and I failed miserably at utilizing OsCommerce. Now fast forward 3 years to 2007 and I am again tasked to create an ecommerce site. My wife had encouraged me to give it shot and to learn PHP and MySQL. I already knew about OsCommerce from my previous experience and so I spent the next month building an ecommerce site off of OsCommerce milestone 2.

Following my previous post about the Pasadena Center being demolished and rebuilt with a time lapse camera; I found some cool YouTube videos on time lapse painting. It is very cool to watch as the canvas art keeps changing. Many artists work on it and the detail of each painting is phenomenal. It is almost a shame that some art is painted over but you have to watch it yourself.
I think it just make me want to go out and start painting or just doodling away. I have embedded it here in my page for you to view. Please take a look and also visit the original YouTube author for posting this up.
