Video Blogging Made Easy
Posted on February 25, 2006 by Ching under Web.
I just discovered You Tube. I know they’ve been around for a while, but I’ve been busy so I’m kind of behind the curve here. Anyway, I just now got a chance to tinker with it and it’s actually pretty cool. It’s really simple and easy to use. You don’t have to know anything about anything. You just need to make your videos, upload them and you’re done. The videos are actually stored on their servers so you don’t even have to have hosting. You just upload your videos to their server and they give you the code to use. You can paste the code anywhere (MySpace, Blogger, you name it). It’s so simple… it’s completely foolproof! Here’s an old video that Brian made a few years ago. I didn’t have any other videos to upload so I had to use this one. Check it out so you can see how this thing works.Neat, huh? This is one of those things that I wish I could’ve thought of. I mean, the creators of You Tube are probably going to make a killing off this utility. Seriously. Thousands of people are already using it and the number of users are growing exponentially as we speak. Of course, you’ve got people like me who will share our latest and greatest discoveries with anyone willing to listen (or read, in this case) so that only helps them to spread news about their service. Anyway, now that I know how it works you’ll probably be seeing some video blogs soon. Okay, maybe not for a while since I’m kind of busy right now but definitely sometime soon. Keep checking back!

Losing My Soul
Posted on February 23, 2006 by Ching under School.
It’s just me checking in from class. You know, C sucks away one’s soul just as bad as Accounting if not worse. I wish dad could take this class for me. I’d be getting an A for sure. But that’s because dad rocks. He’s just good at everything, period.

Hooked on Idol
Posted on February 23, 2006 by Ching under Life.
I am totally hooked on American Idol. I don’t know what it is about the show. Maybe it’s because I cannot carry a tune to save my life. I am just so amazed about what these contestants can do. Anyway, here’s who I am rooting for (not in any particular order):

It’s shame I can’t vote because we don’t have a landline! 🙁

Ambitious Undertakings
Posted on February 22, 2006 by Ching under School.
Ambitious undertakings: two words one should always stay away from. Seriously. I’m not kidding. I got my first CS 300 exam back the other day. I got a C. This is actually pretty good considering I am struggling in that class. If this was any other class, I would probably be on the verge of suicide. I’m sure you’re tired of my suicide threats, though. You heard enough about them last sem when I took my final Accounting class. You’d think that after my horrific Fall 2005 sem experience with trying to complete my Accounting minor, I’d know better than to try for yet another minor. Label be stubborn and pig-headed. Okay, perhaps not stubborn and pig-headed but just foolish. How about that? Foolish is probably more appropriate. I wish I wouldn’t have made the Dean’s List last sem. It gave me misplaced confidence. After overcoming that last Accounting class (and yes, Jen, Accounting sucks away your soul), I just thought I could conquer anything. How wrong I was! Now I’m experiencing the same, should-I-stay-or-should-I-go blues in CS 300. I want my CS minor, though. Tough decision. Maybe I should give it another week before making a decision? Procrastination rears its ugly head yet again.

Our Morning Ritual
Posted on February 20, 2006 by Ching under Life.
I think my favorite time of day has got to be the half hour between 6:00 and 6:30 am. Six o’clock is when the alarm clock buzzes for the first time and Brian stirs from his sleep. We both kind of shift groggily from the sides of the bed that we have tossed and turned to through the night. He turns facing me (he sleeps on the left side of the bed and I sleep on the right) to hit the snooze button and I turn to face him. I then snuggle my way closer to rest my head on his shoulder and burry my face in his chest. After hitting the snooze button he pulls me closer with his arm and embraces me as I embrace him back. We lay in bed, cuddled together, enjoying each other’s warmth just like this for about half an hour, past several buzzes (the alarm is set to buzz every seven minutes I think) until about 6:30 or sometimes even 6:45 am. It’s so hard to get up in the morning in the winter time. Even harder when there’s a warm body laying next to you. And tougher still when it’s Presidents Day and he doesn’t have to get up.
