About me
An active blogger and net-head since the late 90's, I'm always looking for new and exciting ways to make my world more efficient, exciting and robust.
Why I use Clipmarks
Usually I have so many tabs I have open in Firefox that I get a little overwhelmed. I figured Clipmarks would be a great place to store those things I find interesting (and I could close my tabs and be free of some anxiety). Clipmarks is a great place to save important sites, and discover new ones.

Play Video on Your Wii (with a little work)

by DarrenTooCool  1-8-2009   
 Essentially, you have to convert your media to a new format, and plop it on an SD card. Not the most fun thing to do, but no hack is needed.

DarrenTooCool
by DarrenTooCool  2-4-2008   
 Ever had a CD with songs that cross-fade but on your MP3 player you get an annoying gap in-between? Ever have a playlist of MP3s you wish you could listen to as one long song? How about an Audio Book with chapter broken into different files, but you'd rather have it all-in-one? MP3 Album maker to the rescue! This FREE mp3 joiner will make a single MP3 "album" out of several MP3s. Visit the forum for more info: http://www.makeitone.net/forum/ A free alternative to a for-pay product called "AlbumWrap."

Get Camtasia For Free - Screencasting Software
DarrenTooCool
by DarrenTooCool  11-27-2007   
 I mentioned yesterday how you could get TechSmith's "SnagIt" for free. Little did I know that Camtasia was free too. Camtasia is a screen recorder, which allows you to make tutorials and record what happens on your screen. Sure these are older versions, but they have plenty of features that folks paid a lot of money for at one time. Go get some!

Differences between Hairspray, the 2007 film, and the Broadway musical
DarrenTooCool
by DarrenTooCool  8-8-2007   
 * I didn't clip the details, since it could be considered a spoiler * We just saw Hairspray (the movie of the musical) and wow, it was so much better than I expected. But I had not seen the Broadway play. I noticed a lot of complaining (on iTunes, where the album is #1) from fans of the stage show and I wanted to know what was so different. Thanks to this Wikipedia entry, we can all take a look at what has the nitpickers so upset.

Expo Television - Video Reviews of EVERYTHING!
DarrenTooCool
by DarrenTooCool  6-14-2007   
 Expo Television (expotv.com) is a really fun site where real people upload vide reviews of everything under the sun. I always read reviews before I buy anything, and it takes time. But a video review is fast and to the point Oohkay, some ramble, some are silly). There is not much that I can clip as Clipmarks does not support this site yet. Still the site is informative and fun, check it out.

 I am not sure if this one has been getting much publicity (maybe I should check Digg), but I found this on my own on YouTube. Nico Di Matta sketches, then paints, Spider-Man in Photoshop. It is a time-lapse movie of what was a 3 day project. It shows too, really excellent art. Check out his Sawyer and Locke drawings too!
