Playing with a Headplay Video Visor (Coupon!)Playing with a Headplay Video Visor (Coupon!)
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 08, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed My wife Ponzi was supposed to do this product review. She s the one who wanted one of these video visor things. It s been on her wish list for a few years now. I ended up getting one for her as a Christmas present last year, and she hated it. It was uncomfortable and the quality was bad. I was lucky enough to make the right connection to be able to review this Video Visor from Headplay. The best news of all is that if you use that link, and coupon code HP5OFF, you can save 5% on your purchase of one! Your HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System is a portable visual headset and multi-media center delivering a comfortable, immersive, high-resolution, cinematic viewing experience for gaming, movie watching and Internet use. It is versatile, convenient and gives you the feeling of being in your own private theater. It is also compatible with most media devices. With content availability, the HEADPLAY Personal Cinema System delivers a breakthrough in personal entertainment enjoyment - next generation stereoscopic 3D gaming and movie viewing. Ponzi said that she felt this headset is very comfortable, the quality is very good.. and she likes the options for expandability. That to me says it all. I can look at any piece of hardware, and pass judgement. But the bar is set so high with Ponzi, it s not easy to make her happy. So for her to give her praise to this product says a lot. The features and specs are as follows: Field of View: 36 degree diagonal Virtual Image Size: 52 diagonal at 6 Display Technology LCoS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) LCoS Refresh Rate: Up to 120 Hz Color Depth: 8 bits RGB Resolution: Supports 1024 x 768 VGA, 800 x 600 VGA, 720 x 480 VGA, and 640 x 480 VGA Video Output: Progressive Scan 800 x 600 native Resolution: 360 color fields per second Video Input: S-Video/Composite Audio Input: Stereo Audio Output: Stereo headphone jack Built-in 3D video playback support Supports 16 million colors Automatic PC resolution configure All in all, this may be expensive, but it s well worth the money. It has excellent quality, and is so lightweight and convenient. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Just as we do every Friday night, we gave away a webcam last week, courtesy of Ustream.tv. You must meet all three requirements in order to win! I was starting to wonder if maybe we wouldn t give one away this week after all. The requirements to be eligible for our weekly giveaways are simple. Here is what you need to do: You must be present in the chat room at the time of the giveaway. We don t announce it much ahead of time, so you pretty much need to be a regular visitor! You need to be subscribed to my YouTube channel. You had to have left a recent comment on any post in my blog. That s it! That s the sum total of the requirements to be eligible. When a giveaway starts, all chatters in the channel lose chat ability. This is to help us be able to see only the winner talking, so we don t miss out on their pertinent links. Then, our new automatic bot picker will choose a random name. That person has to give us their YouTube link, as well as the name they used to comment on the blog. We then verify the information and have a winner! Congratulations to this week s winner TheSlimJim!! NoBull Bodybuilding: Guide To Massive Muscle And Shredded Abs.

Do you Need to Tweak Firefox for Speed?Do you Need to Tweak Firefox for Speed?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 08, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Firefox 3 download day has come and gone. It broke records and servers. It took a little getting used to when I downloaded it. There were things I loved, and things I hated about it. I didn t really like the Awesome bar. The good news is that I received a few recommendations for things to do to improve my FF 3 experience. According to Buruc, all I have to do is: I found a more convenient way to get rid of the awesome bar . Go to the Mozilla add-ons website, and get the Old bar 1.2 add-on. Install it, restart Firefox, and that should do it. This way you could turn the feature on and off as you please. You know what I m talking about with Firefox 3 and that awesome bar. When you type in an address, and you suddenly have this long list of URLs under the address bar. To me, that seems too clunky. I just don t like it. Maverick also emailed me with some other recommendations. Go to the address bar, and type in about:config. When you look at this page, you ll be overwhelmed, I guarantee. Pretty much everything you can configure in Firefox can be controlled via this page. Don t touch anything before you backup, and don t touch anything until someone has given you a good recommendation that has been tested. Before you dive into doing this, you might want to read through PC Tips Box. Here are the values that Maverick suggests you change, in order to speed up Firefox. If these particular values don t exists, you can add them yourself by right-clicking anywhere in the config page and choosing new . Find network.http.pipelining. Set this value to True. Next, go to network.http.pipelining.firstrequest and set that to True, as well. Go to network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and change that to 8. Now we ll get to network.http.proxy.pipelining and again set it to True. Find nglayout.initialpaint.delay and change it to a 0. Go to content.notify.interval and set this to 0. Locate content.switch.threshold and change this to True. And finally, change content.interrupt.parsing to True as well. If you know of any other good tips for tweaking browsers of any kind to make them work better, be sure to email them to me. Make sure they re ones that have been tried and tested. I won t pass along anything that could hurt anyone s experience. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Do you Want to Create PDFs from Firefox for Free?Do you Want to Create PDFs from Firefox for Free?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 08, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Just today, the PDF became an official ISO standard. You ll see PDFs show up in a lot more places. It will be the document format to beat, basically. I happen to have stumbled across an invitation-only Beta earlier for a new Firefox plugin to make PDFs. If Firefox were my default browser on Windows, I d definitely be using this. PDF Download will add an icon to Firefox in Windows. By clicking that icon while on any web page, it will save the page out as a PDF for you. It s that easy. PDF Download by Nitro PDF Software lets you regain control over PDF files in Firefox. When you click on a PDF file, PDF Download lets you know, can tell you how big it is, and can then give you the choice to open, download, or convert it to HTML. The add-on for Firefox lets you decide what to do with the PDF files you click on and customize and automate how they should be handled. The beauty of the PDF is that if someone creates it, it will retain the same layout no matter what computer or operating system it is opened on. Most manuals you can download from the Internet are in PDF format for just this reason. If you create something in Microsoft Word and try to open it on your Mac yeah. You know what I m talking about. The PDF format is just much easier to manage and use. If you know of any other Firefox extensions or PDF tools that you d like to pass along, let me know! I m always happy to share new things with the rest of the world. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

What is Your Favorite Kind of Peanut Butter?What is Your Favorite Kind of Peanut Butter?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 07, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I m a peanut butter fanboi according to Ponzi. I ll eat it right off of a spoon. She went shopping and wanted to buy some more. At the store, she noticed that there was one brand who claimed to be the best tasting. So, she decided to make me do a peanut butter taste test. My rules were that I had to rate each brand on creaminess, how much it tasted like actual peanuts, and overall taste. First, I had to start off by tasting actual nuts. The first kind was Planter s Honey Roasted peanuts. She had Blue Diamond almonds, flavored with soy and wasabi. Then, lastly, she had some Blue Diamond Lime and Chili almonds. I guessed the peanut flavor right off the bat. With the lime and chili almonds, it took me a minute to figure out the lime part. I guessed pepper and jalapeno, but never got around to chili. On the last one, I knew right away it was almonds with wasabi, but I swear I couldn t taste any soy sauce! On to the peanut butter! Ponzi showed the different brands to the chat room. First up was Jif Simply creamy. It s very creamy, but not as good as the last brand I tried. It was about middle of the road as far as peanutty taste. The next brand was Skippy Natural creamy. It s a different flavor, but I like it. It has some kind of kick to it. It s very creamy, even more than the Jif. The flavor is excellent on this one. The third one is I m Healthy original creamy Soy Nut butter. It s creamy, but it s also very ick. The taste is just nasty. I knew it wasn t real peanut butter. Dude, seriously. Give me a bucket. I m not eating that. I told her to throw that one away. The last brand is an organic peanut butter. I was afraid to try it, I admit it. I told Ponzi that if this one wasn t actual peanut butter, I was putting it up her nose! First, I sniffed it. It smelled like peanut butter, so I tried it. Good consistency, and creamy. It isn t quite as creamy as the first two, but it had more of a peanut taste. After trying all of them, I d have to say #2 was my favorite. Funny thing is, Ponzi revealed that that is the same one who has a label claiming they are the best tasting peanut butter of them all. Kat disagrees though. She prefers Jif, and after watching this video to put it online for me, she went to the kitchen to make a sandwich. Seriously. Ponzi has now threatened to make me eat that Soy stuff the next time she s mad at me. I think I ll start learning to behave. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Wine, Sports Q&A with Gary VaynerchukWine, Sports Q&A with Gary Vaynerchuk
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 07, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Gary Vaynerchuk has captured national attention as a businessman and Internet celebrity. Gary’s fame can be attributed to his pioneering, multi-faceted approach to personal branding and business building. Watch as Gary and I talk about everything from WWE wrestling to cheese and wine. We kept an eye on my chat room, so Gary could grab any questions that were thrown at him. There were some interesting ones, for sure. Let s take a look at what my friends have to say about Gary. He s like a fireball on fire. - Outsanity Gary is the most brilliant marketer on the Internet. Bar none. For people who don t know who he is, he does the http://www.winelibrary.tv he s also a big crowd draw. We had 500 people in DC last week at least in part because of him. - Robert Scoble Gary is a fun guy who really gets the space. I love his wine shows and man does he know how to self-promote. - Jeff Jones I should say he s a brilliant marketer because he doesn t try to push his product. He also knows his wine and gets respect at every winery he walks into (I know, I followed him around for a day while he went wine tasting). Of course, he has a store that sells $50 million a year. - Robert Scoble He s brilliant. Great show. Great recognition of the tools to market his wares. Great Energy. Love him! - George Smith i really like gary he knos his stuff and uses it for his and everybodys benefit - Edgar Guzman He s entertaining and always positive. - Andrew Smith Great guy! He s funny and knows how to get people s attention! And very good at interacting with people, especially with your chat ;) - Michael Forian he s got that goofy but charming face - Tyler he is one of the raddest guys on the internet! THUNDER! - Bryan Garcia Love Gary. Regardless of whether you like him or not, he will make you want to drink wine and get a little more out of it than you normally might. - Vincent Guerrero I re-watched the first episode of his show the other night. His material, which was good then, just gets better and better. - todddoubleu He is awesome! I love listening to him, your not greedy BTW. ;) - om he embodies thunder. that is all. - Andrew Feinberg What a coincidence, I m catching up on old WLTV episodes I missed. Glad he answered my Q about Caduceus. - Nate Prouty Gary: inspirational - I LOVE the I Suck clip. Passionate. He s a great model for what you can do online. And he answers his email. Legit. Good to see btw, where s the interview you guys did? - james svenson Gary vaynerchuk really is a hero and an inspiration to all. Wherever he goes he brings life and exitement. Proud to have virtually met him and learn from him everyday - matt Harris Gary is on top of his game. I like that he takes so much time to interact with anyone who pays attention to what he does. He does a great job marketing himself/WL/WLTV. - Ruben He definitely has rock star quality. Would love to drink with him. Rock on Gary! - Larry Kless via twhirl Gary is just awesome. He is genuine, and loving. Takes time to chat with his fans. I had a nice chat with him a few weeks ago on AIM. Then on Memorial Day, I come to my computer and he left me a message saying, Happy Memorial Day! Wasn t expecting that. Great guy! - Dennis Jackson via twhirl Gary is one of THE nicest, most genuine, most dynamic people I ve ever had the privilege to meet. An amazing guy, who makes this world a better place every day. The world needs more Gary Vaynerchuks! - Chris Jernigan All of the above. I ve already worn thru my wristband. Most notably, no haterz even bother with this thread - Andy Sternberg He knows his stuff and it shows. He s not smoke and mirrors - Ardell DellaLoggia He s a hoot. - Jack Carlson Gary is a pure inspiration - Dobromir Hadzhiev Like others have said, great guy, stumbled on to WLTV in January. Wish I could have caught the stream live while he was there with you, the recording was fun to watch. - Scott Ericson I don t even drink much wine, but I love his show. He s just got an amazing energy to him. - Erik Jonasson Lots of energy, I wonder if he s like we know only in his videos, or all the time - Oli Kenobi Gary made me realize that Chris, for all the attention and advice he gives the world, is greedy. (Sorry, I just couldn t resist). Of course, by the same token, I am even more greedy (but working on it). Some of the things Gary says jusst ring true, and make you think. He made me try this wonderful Virgil s Root Beer after all. - Jay Wiegmann I think you get the idea, he has a lot of energy, he s positive, he s well liked, he has his priorities straight. I like him because he s starving for the bleeding edge in tech, he loves his Twitter, and he likes to know a little bit about everything. - Mike Lewis I think he is acting too egotistical for his age. He needs to not be so over confident just because he has had some good luck. That can change in just a split second! When he isn t expounding like a know it all I find him interesting and entertaining and his descriptions of wines are superb! - Patricia Hale He knows a lot about wine of all things, and not the computer program. - Ethan Are you thinking of him for Gnomedex? - Francine Hardaway Awesome guy. Really knows his stuff and is dedicated to his fans. I look forward to hopefully meeting him one day. He is definitely a true inspiration to young entrepreneurs everywhere. - Lance Hill Gary is a funny guy, and I had a great time hanging out with him. What do you think about Gary?

What Do You Do to Keep Your Home Secure?What Do You Do to Keep Your Home Secure?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 07, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Home security is important. Crime doesn t go away, it keeps growing. There are many things you can do to keep yourself, and your home/possessions, safe. Thanks go out to Joe for sending in some tips on how to keep your home safe. The first and the most important tip is to purchase a homeowner’s insurance. Purchasing separate insurance for your most valuable possessions is a next step. If you have the proper insurance, even if all your security measures fail, you may still be able to recoup a portion of lost valuables. Many of the insurance companies will require you to install some type of the security system before an insurance policy will be issued to you. Tip number 2 is to store the most expensive and most valuable items (including jewelry, money, etc.) in a safe deposit box in the bank. This step will definitely protect your valuables. The expensive items that are needed in the house can be kept in the safe. Tips number 3 4 are to install an alarm system and sign up for the alarm monitoring service. When you are installing the alarm system, make sure that the fire and smoke detectors are integrated with the system. The alarm monitoring service is also very important. Without the monitoring, you can not be sure what time will pass before someone will notice the fact that the system went off and will call the police. With the alarm monitoring system, the police department is contacted right away. Tip number 5 is to include motion detectors as a part of your alarm system. Motion detectors can be installed inside the house, near windows and doors. With motion detectors, you will become aware of any movement inside the house. The alarm system will be triggered by the detector and the monitoring company will be notified. It is also a good advice to have a motion sensor light outside your house. Tip number 6 deals with the situation when you are installing video cameras as a part of your security system. When you are installing video cameras, you should purchase the cameras that provide infrared functionality. There cameras will usually switch to the black and white mode and will turn infrared LEDs when it gets dark. Tip number 7 deals with the power down situations. You should purchase and charge the back up power supply in advance. In a case of a power down situation, a back up power supply will keep your security system up and running and your house protected. Without a power supply, you risk a complete stop in the functionality of your security system. Tip number 8 is to go wireless. If you have wired cameras, you should probably upgrade them to wireless cameras that don’t need a wire connecting them to the VCR. Wireless cameras are easier to install, manage and hide. It will be harder for a criminal to notice a wireless camera than a wired one. If you signed up for the alarm monitoring systems, you should check if the security company has a wireless option (when the system can use cellular link to contact the company if the alarm goes off). Tip number 9 is to make sure that you lock your doors and windows every time you leave the house. Also, don’t forget to turn your alarm on before you leave and turn it off when you come back. If you don’t do these simple steps, even the most expensive security system may not be able to protect you. Tip number 10 is to join a neighborhood watch program, if there is one. This is definitely very important. If you are not at home, some of your neighbors may be. If they can keep an eye on your house, this will provide an additional level of security. Talk to your neighbors and see if you can join a program. If there is no neighborhood watch program in place, it might be a good idea to discuss the possibility of creating one with your neighbors. The above tips, especially the first one, don t only apply to keep yourself safe from criminals. Please, please make sure you are properly insured, even if you rent. My assistant, Kat, nearly lost her home due to fire recently. She didn t have renter s insurance at the time, as she thought it would be too expensive.

Why Aren’t All Linux Live CDs Customizable?Why Aren’t All Linux Live CDs Customizable?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 07, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Yes, Linux is an operating system that I do recommend to people at times. I don t use Linux as my operating system, but I do have several Linux live CDs. A live CD is one that is started as an ISO file that you download, burn it to a CD, pop it into your drive and reboot. Your computer will run Linux from memory, without writing it to your hard drive. There are even ways that you can put a Linux distro on a flash drive, which is nice. I can carry it around with me, along with some diagnostic tools. This way, if I am working on a machine that won t boot into Windows, I can open it up with Linux. The problem that I always have with live CDs for Linux is that when they re built, they include things I would never include. Or, they don t put in things that I feel I should have. It just isn t a very customizable experience. I got a few emails from a community member named Aaron the other day. He wanted to send me to a place where I can customize my Linux live CDs any way I want them. At Custom NimbleX, you can easily create your own customized version of Linux that only you and the people you share it with will be able to use. Now, you won t find everything that is available for Linux here, of course, but it is very comprehensive. You can choose to go with a clean, simple customization, or you can choose to create an extremely in-depth one. You can even choose your default wallpaper(s), including your username, and including the volume at which the controller is set on boot. It s very easy to create one of these, and absolutely free. If you choose to create a custom CD, you choose what categories you want included and then choose the software! Add what you want, and know you ll use. Leave the rest alone. How cool is it to finally be able to choose what YOU want and need? PLRSiteBuilder. Oracle University 10g Database Workbooks. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

The disasters of the past were not subjects of tabloids or TV shows, but songs. We talk to the producer of a box set on tunes about murders, fires and floods to find out why disaster songs were once so popular. And music writer Greil Marcus explains how they made their way into Bob Dylan’s music.

Can Physics be Fun?Can Physics be Fun?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Math and I get along like oil and water. I realized it wouldn t be in my future when I took Physics in high school. I remember playing with Crayon Physics years ago, and it was a lot of fun to play with. What I want to show you today is something that will run on your desktop, whether you run on Mac or Windows. OE-Cake is demonstration software for 2D-based multi-physics simulation. Use your imagination to create your own unique world! This software supports various physical materials with real life properties such as fluids, gases, rigid (hard) objects and elasticity (soft) objects as building blocks. Users can combine these objects to create and play with more complex objects and mechanisms such as cars, gears and moving dolls. Users can also attach pictures and photos to objects and change their shape, break them apart, or melt them. If you know of other cool applications that no one else may have heard of, pass them along to me. Don t send me the fun ones that everyone is playing. I m talking about fun, interactive things that the rest of us have yet to discover. FirstRSS ERROR: http://shop.tagjag.com/products/science NOT FOUND!

Is There a Free Alternative to Lightroom or Aperture?Is There a Free Alternative to Lightroom or Aperture?
from The Chris Pirillo Show
July 07, 2008

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If you are a professional photographer, you re either using Apple s Aperture or Adobe s Lightroom, I m sure. This is for hard-core digital photo management. Both of these programs work well, but they are quite expensive. So, what can you do instead? blueMarine is a cross-platform, open-source application that will give you a full-on digital photo workflow experience. The closest thing I could equate to this is Aperture or Lightroom. blueMarine is pretty much the same thing. You can sort by different variables, and increase or decrease the size of the results returned. It s insanely easy to work with, and organize all of the photos in a professional manner. As with most photo workflow apps, you have several methods of inspecting your image collection. Icons in the top left corner switch the app between filesystem tree, calendar, and tag views, and you can sift through the assorted photos in a 2-D grid, or a single filmstrip along the bottom of the screen. You have full control over how much information blueMarine displays for each image, courtesy of the View -> Decorators menu. You can show file properties such as size and filename, image properties such as camera settings, and any metadata you assign to the file. You can also assign basic one-through-five-star ratings for each image, and mark keepers and trash with simple keyboard shortcuts. Although blueMarine does not include editing functionality, the beginnings of such features are found in the image inspections tools, with which you can zoom in and out and magnify selected images. I m not a professional photographer, I m just a hobbyist. If I hadn t already paid for Aperture, I d be using blueMarine myself on a regular basis. I m glad I found it, and could pass it along to all of you.
