This past weekend Klare and I decided to “ditch the dish”. But, instead of switching to a cable company we have decided to go back to the days of old and put up rabbit ears. The over the air reception is pretty good, and for the price there is no way to beat the HD reception. DirectTV kept increasing our rates to where we were paying over $60 a month without any premium channels.
I have also setup a connection from the laptop to a TV so that we can watch shows over the internet. The website Hulu is a great site for shows and movies. Our favorite shows are Colbert Report and The Dailey Show. The nice thing is that there are fewer and shorter commercials then regular TV. But the bad thing is that either our internet isn’t fast enough or the wireless connection isn’t fast enough to fully stream video without pausing.
Yesterday I looked at a script to make adding pictures to this blog a snap. Today I am looking at how to add video clips. Again, it is amazingly easy to add video from any number of websites.
Are you really surprised I’d use shoes getting thrown at Pres. Bush as my test vieo.
I was exploring the plug-ins for my Wordpress Blog and I ran into one that can post pictures directly from Flickr. I quickly opened a free Flickr account and uploaded some of my Black and White Photos just to try it out.
I was amazed at how easy it was to post these pictures.
This is just a short post to see if this site is still working. It has been so long since my last post that I almost forgot how to log on. Since then there have been two major updates to the software, so I had to figure out how to upgrade it.
Anyway, I hope that everyone had a great Holiday Season.
