J A M B U Z Z !!!!

I work on my blogs both at home and at work during lunch. I’m always downloading the latest tune, creating a cool Powerpoint and putting together a vid or two. Sometimes I’m hit with a bit of inspiration on cats, writing, travel, et. al. and I’ll write about it. Up until now, I’ve been using a series of Flash USB storage devices which have been more or less successful. I used to drag around discs, then burned CDs, now Flash drives. The only problem I’ve had with it is that sometimes I misplace them, being the highly organized (NOT) writer that I am. LOL! The idea of having an online storage device that maps to my desktop on both my home and work computer sounds like a really good answer to the missing flash drive problem.

Enter iBackup Online Storagewho offers just that plus a whole lot more. iBackup provides online storage in the form of a drag-and-drop folder that resides on your desktop. I can write something up, create a Powerpoint presentation, upload and download a spreadsheet and keep things neat and tidy right there on my desktop. It provides a familiar explorer interface (ie. there’s a folder on my desktop), so it’s not a terribly high learning curve involved. It’s also inexpensive and upgradable, so you don’t have to start by selling your car for one month’s rental. The site talks about a performance difference that is very significant and that IBackup’s desktop applications outperform the rest by a factor of at least 30-50%. While this is important to the big guns, I jsut like the idea of being able to drop my music video into a folder and find it in that folder when I get home. For me, that’s significant.

If you want to get your music, band or song out there and you don’t have tons of money, a way to go might be making your own Google videos. Thanks to online video websites, you can share your talent with the world quickly and easily. If you are interested in creating your own video, on just about whatever you want, and share it with other internet users you can, by using Google Video.

Google Video is one of the most popular online video websites, along with YouTube. Google Video is an online video website that is most commonly known for its wide selection of available videos. These videos commonly include popular television shows, sports recaps, celebrity interviews, music videos, and homemade movies. When most internet users arrive at Google Video’s main page, they are there to find online movies to watch. Google is the place that many internet users go because they can not only watch free videos, but they also buy popular videos, often for less than two dollars.

Although a large number of internet users visit Google Video to watch fun videos, not everyone does. A large number of individuals head to Google Video’s online website to look for more information on the features that allows them to make, upload, and share their own videos. If you are one of those individuals, you can easily learn more by visiting http://video.google.com/. That link should bring you directly to Google Video’s main page. Once at the main page, you will find information on how to make and upload your own homemade video.

One problem that you may notice with Google Video is that there are times when you cannot upload your videos, often due to site maintenance. This is something that is usually only temporary; therefore, you shouldn’t be alarmed if you are not able to load and share your own videos with other internet users. The best thing that you can do is what until the feature becomes available again. In the mean time, you may want to upload your movie to another online video website, such as YouTube. Although, it is important to note that Google Video is a great place to share your video with the rest of the world. For that reason, you may want to regularly check back to see if and when you can begin to upload your movie.

When I investigated this, on talking to one of my strange writer friends, I found it to be true. Whereas there are several well known singers that receive high pay or earnings, still many singers struggle hard in the singing field just to earn or “make a living”; they spend usually a huge amount of their time booking singing engagements as well as other part-time jobs.

Just so to support themselves, many singers find other kinds of singing jobs and no, they haven’t all become singing clowns at birthday parties and bar mitzvahs.

Busking

Buskers, or also known as street musicians, traveling musicians, subway musicians, minstrels or bards, sidewalk musicians etc.

Likely venues for buskers include sidewalks, fairs, parks, fetes, train stations, subways, shopping centers, bus depots, street corners and any open spaces where enough people are passing for the hope of interested receptions then donations fall into their hat.

We are all about having fun, cool music and sports with a twist, so when we saw this post about playing paintball, we checked around to see what it was all about.

Like any sport, paintball is played by a group of participants out to eliminate opponents by hitting them with paint balls (spherical gelatin capsules containing primarily polyethylene glycol, other non-toxic and water-soluble substances, and dye) shot from a compressed-gas-powered gun, commonly called a marker. Spyder paintball guns are among the more popular sport weapon allowing the opponent both ease of use taking into account weight considerations.

The typical game usually involves two opposing teams with specific objectives like, retrieving a flag or taking out a specific player. It’s a combination of hide-and-seek and guerilla strategy combined. An average, non-professional game of paintball usually lasts around five minutes to half an hour although some can last longer and it can be pretty intense.

The rules vary from game to game and can be played either indoors or outdoors. There are various types with some of the most popular being woodsball, scenario and speedball.

Some of the better equipment available is Spyder paintball guns including the Spyder VS3 and the Spyder Pilot using a Spyder paintball. There is also good paintball gear by Tippmann, Smart Parts, Dye, Draxxus plus many more brands.

Well, that about covers our look into paintball. One thing about adding sponsored advertising to your blog comes in the form of all of the interesting things one can find out researching diverse products. Paintball was no exception and a fun topic to look at.

Jessica Alba says listening to very loud music in the gym is the key to keeping fit and sexy.

The Fantastic Four star hates exercising so much that she has to listen to her favourite tunes on full volume to stop her wanting to “kill herself”.

She said: “I have to look good but I hate to exercise. I get so bored so I just do anything that keeps me from wanting to kill myself when I am in the gym, like listening to my music on level 100.”

Alba’s exercising methods obviously work as the actress has topped many sexiest women polls.

Her role as the Invisible Woman in the Fantastic Four films recently saw her crowned Sexiest Superhero in a poll by Pearl and Dean.

Alba is eager to be known for more than her sexy curves, insisting: “I hope all my new work will help producers in getting past my hotness.”

Alba can currently be seen in cinemas in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
