Seeing how I’m now running Word Press, it only makes sense that I would tell you about Word Press TV. If you are running Word Press, or are just thinking about using it, you owe it to yourself to give this site a look.
Even though it’s only been up for maybe 2 months, there’s a lot of great content. There’s plenty of How-To videos, for beginners to advanced users. There’s videos about administration, set-up, widgets, publishing, media, plugins, themes, custom design, and more. There is also a section of videos from Word Camp.
I wanted to write about Word Press TV when it first went live, but I haven’t actully spent any amount of time on it, untill recently. Most of them are using vimeo to host their videos, so the quality is execlent. Theses aren’t some junky, pixalated Youtube videos. They are high quality and when I viewed them with HD turned on, the screen captures of in the how-to videos was perfect and crisp and easy to read the all the text in the videos. Even when not in full screen or HD you can read them easily. If only everyone made instructional videos at this quality. Check out the example below.

I’m working at a radio & TV station. Our website has our daily TV news broadcast on it. The video we have on there is flash video and I’ve been given the task of improving our flash player. I’ve decided to go with the JW FLV Media Player. Which just happens to be the same player our website developer wanted to go with.
The JW FLV Media Player is free for non commercial use. It has a lot of great features. The most useful feature for me is you can create playlists. In this playlist you can tell the flv player to not allow certain videos to be skipped. So when someone chooses to watch the news, the can select any segment they want or start at the beginning and watch all of it, one segment after another. The files in the playlist that can’t be skipped will be commercials. The JW FLV Media Player can also be skinned so you can give it any look you want. You can also add a logo which will be placed in the upper right corner. The code is pretty easy to figure out and there is also a setup wizard and lots of examples of how to use all the variables. You can use java or embed code to add it to any website. Thanks to the embed code, it’s very easy to add any video, and the player, to a blog or forum post. So if you’ve been looking to add your own video to a website or blog, the JW FLV Media Player could be just what you’re looking for.
I was looking for some keno games for my wife and thought I’d share with you what I found. There’s quite a few out there of course. I’m no keno expert, however if anyone is, she is. So I’m gonna let her pick the best. And the winner is Mike’s Freeware. There’s single and multi-card versions. And quite a few to choose from. Not only are the prices very reasonable, the 4-card keno (pictured above) is only $4.44, there are playable demos that you can download. Still not interested, did I mention that there are several completely free versions. If you care for keno at all, these are worth checking out.
If there are any keno games out there that you know about, please let us know in the comments below.
Time for another free software post. One of the coolest free software downloads ever, is google earth. I don’t think I’ll waste your time telling you about it because you have either used it or at least have seen it. The new interface is clean. The thing I noticed right off is it is much faster and the map data is even better. They say that 30% of the world’s population can now see their homes. If you run windows, mac or linux, which should cover pretty much everyone, you can download it here.
