  • Borrowing – a new way

    want to share the world of computer/internet.  the reasons why are that it is more fun to video about short subjects…YOUTUBE……

    so I looked it up.  its online free and fairly easy so go watch how!

    copy and paste video link from youtube to www.keepvid.com ….good dance music too.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEDBtQNJxmA

     

    now here is a cheesy video for you on Icelandic spar and how it is used to navigate from Norway to vinland *North America* right? hold on now, in a semi recent issue of birds&blooms, there is a did you know questions with answers – things like why are blue-footed boobies feet blue? (for the same reasons pink flamingos are pink) their diet.  or do birds see in color? this is a yes but some more so than others…which brings to light that many migratory birds have polarized sensitivity within their eyes and how they perhaps navigate with this like Vikings long long before them of course.

    now you might notice this young man uses a progressive scan not interlaced monitor :D without more conversionllllllllllll

    you also might notice I don’t have just one purpose or subject going about poloraization.

    I will point out that there is a risk downloading video via this method…. however the mp4 file format works within windows movie player on this windows 7 home premium computer…. without further conversion. but note that’s space hoggish.

    also for the fun of it I pictured this along with how to get stuff from your screens to the blog or party directions posters…now with google maps!

     

    theres always something-2

    the reasons perhaps why this is a security risk is that you can hide virthy and using this keepvid.com site which steps around uses in a picture and thus video too  but you need tools my machine didn’t have the java this site wants so I got it – two risky things java which is semi trustworthy and the keepvid.com site that converts and allows us to download yet acknowledge there is risk.

    getting video-1

    details2

    to show i you this requires me to take pictures of my screen which is described below

    details

    and all to get…. successful

    it works

     

    in short to take a screen shot or picture of your screen in windows based computers you use two keys control and printscreen  ctrl, prt sc (/sysrq)

  • funky concepts continue… FCC

    a picture of mt dulcimers

    http://www.commonsenseaudio.com/nirvana.html

    scroll down a LONG time to audio nirvana’s cast 3 inch speakers

    -

    Imagine along with me that the  dulcimer is only a shape of the speaker but that it still function like that of something between a cello and a viola both noted for the sounds of voice and their sweet tones.  the strip pegs are for the powering amplifier’s tubes and the finger/string board uses not strings but wires positing and negative  signal and output to the speaker.  any further circuitry must be hidden close  within a backing/mounting board  as of yet I don’t know the power of two of these smaller speaker for moving air volume so as to determine if they’re loud enough single speaker dual speaker to actually do the job.

    it’s worth noting that a luthier can produce such a thing for a bargain.  the ideal placement of such a chunk of a speaker is odious in that  it isn’t possible to let the dulcimer cabinet be an actual instrument crating the sound but just a pretty box of a speaker with internal quides to direct sound out.

    =

    you already have from my previous blog an idea of powered rear satelites one being a vintage am radio and the other a victrola look turntable both being functional as such.

    =

    the subwoofer also presents a bit of difficulty making it both placeable  but also useful furniture.

    http://www.performing-musician.com/pm/apr09/images/DIYP plus it’s power meAcabs_05.jpg

    this is a picture of a piesafe.  that allows the physical size to contain a speaker plus it’s power mechanics… and duh… lol pies! ;)   because idiosynchratic or not the furniture is what it is or such defeats the point of it’s shape.  …

    =

    so you will see four channels or powered separately devices. and this allows for a bit more ease in arranging for placement with the tradeoff of making sure to dial each in… which is at le and don’t mind if no one supports the original,,ast allowed for in matching the same types of amplified signals through the same speaker types.  this also allows each unit to be sold piecemail if such a thing called broke occurs. sell one – pawn sale the rest.  it thus isn’t my problem or heartache if as is want to happen people smugly try to fuck you out of one thing invalidating the value of the rest and forcing a firesale because it isn’t a collection.   such is allowed for in the beginning.  peace for me.

  • audiophile hi-fi

    okay, I have a new job and some dough but nothing mega whale-walloping so here’s ideas about how to have magic at a budget….the fuck that ring gimme good sound! type of investment.  I’ve scoured the net for information and reviews on valve type equipment… i.e. the “tube.”  this makes no never mind without something to make sound as in speakers. then there’re are keystones of content becoming sound… I am not a collector so there is no turntable stuff but there is some pricier computer stuff to pay for and also to squeal about.

    Canada is back again with such things as budget valve .  oh hail Canada the giver of insulin and thus life and now sound to fill it!and speakers sans cabinets

    mapletree audio design M.a.d. is great for an array of premade systems as they seem to no longer offer diy kits except if you sign a waver saying it’s not garunteed to work and thus you buy it you bought it.  otherwise the sonic performance is unbelievably great and warranty adequate at 2 years you pay to ship it  clause.

    Audio nir type with a kick to an independent cabinet maker should you wish to have something done upspeaker of the full .  full range means just that one speaker all the sonic spectrum.  the drawbacks seem to occur in the bass range where it doesn’t quit hit the 20 to 20k sound range but is close at 50-20k and needs the reflux versus being seeled.  the reflux is that silly lil vacuum hole somewhere by the way.

     

    oppo bdp 103  blueray to a great array of everything else including a take-over  yet windows manageable/controllable DAC covers everything stored online and or on the computer with the plus that it also comes equipped with a remote with line level remote controle so you can run a tube system in our modern lifestyles.  drawback is fancy computer cost  it is from japan and the remote can even be your android or apple phone.

    a quick search of old time radios gives me german ve 301s which can be one method of consealing a satellite rear speaker and the oyther can be a steampunkable victrola type with the exact same speaker amp and horn so as to be a perfect surrounding with utility of the .old-tymes.  it is possible to make your own records from cd or other good sources one or two just for the hell of it….in case you lack lp’s like me

     

    the drawq back here is obvious in that the cabinet cost for an am radio with horn  or turntable with horn both becoming satellite rear speakers is unknown at best.  this means add a paycheck….each.  the turntable equipment is 130, ish and the horn manufacture is also inexpensive at about the same speaker 100 a piece and the inclings are about 50uded valve amp matching are about 500… thus the only bitch now is a combinet at guaranteed 600-1400…because the average for parts to labor is about 2x more of part to labour.  ouch… expensive satelites!

    silver cable is about 300-500 more as in why bother to run a system on shit speaker cord?

     

    thus expect a good used car cost for audiophile sound because I cant diy .in word or electronics well.

    klipsch heresy 3′s and a reference grade center considered. as were dismissed cerwin vega, anything bose, bang and olufsen, everything infinity-shit quality build if good sound, polk audio boston auccoustics, altec lansing,blaupunkt, bower and wilksen, pinnacle came close. Yamaha did too.

  • Zombie Apocalyspe Prepations ZAP

    My metro is flooding somewhat…nasty storm parking for a pisser.  After seeing the technicalities of the flood over that of the legendary flood of the big thompson valley flood of just before I arrived.  after this horrendousness, was seeds of death a anti-gmo campaign and pledge drive for public tv with a gary null brand water filtration system.  it’s still raining where I’m at.

    I can not find things like how to destroy fertilizer runoff or hormonal water inclusions but i can discuss this major idea on how to be prepared for emergencies with water of a drinkable quantity and quality  here’s two links one to backpacking water sterilization or processing and one to the gary null user guide which is interestingly not but one brand name within an umbrella of filters.

    I’m more interested in a desalinator  a membrane hand operated way to get water out of the ocean….which annoyingly threatens to form around me minus the salt.

    and depending on your location and needs for your version of the hoped for zombie apocalypse…. a lil ancient water purification tech

    it’s called a ketttle.

    keep in mind that chloroamine – the major chlorinator of munipal water supply takes longer to dissapate thus hint lean towards the let it whistle some before making your boiled beverage.  you now have the caveman right to conk a tree too many for the safety of warmth and roasted animal and boiled beverage.

  • I always wanted a pool

    I do not live in the worst of the flooding.  I’m with mom as that’s how it works out.  my own home is on hills enough.  I sauspect the evil ever producing zucchini plant will produce a few whoppers in honour of this extra rain.  I’m next to a damn…the wrong sid of it to be anywhere near any danger.    I suspect this will cover some of the fire dangers for next year heh.  I pray for those of you who know people far closer or sodden.

  • the work week in review.

    I’m due to be fair less a blogging force.  I know this is inconvenient to the new Xanga when I need to care the most but you’ll perhaps write call instant message leave messages and that all because I’m in process to obtain my second job now or finallyfull time commitments but not full time pay…is that the definition hahaha of salary?  I wont get second job pay much brgotre yhnks giving but I am getting nowhere with out volunteering even if it took a decxade to learn why that is.

     

    I am becoming a medically related professional.  running activities for various entities.  my first job is with a nursing home and now I am trying to branch out to a paralleling field of being able to run as my own bioss a group for those with traumatic brain injuries.  please understandtand the difference boss versus assistant and note that like me if I don’t push for this I risk being harder to champion without an independent level of experience.  nevermind my on the job performance in this new age- independent references count it is and continues to get harder to be promoted from within.  I may have thus gotten my chance to get just that.

  • Beyond The Pale.

    I’m just back from the porch to my secondary zen mancave after an enjoyable night sans booze. I was enjoying a less complex version of tomato beer. This is in honour of a whim – a whim to see if by some miracle pile of bullshit that what o.p.o. other people’s opinions that my fine nights of beeer are the sin to beat all sins and the only reason I feel less than allstar after it.

    recipe:
    can of busch NA
    tomato juice ala market pantry
    fresh ground pepper
    hotsauce …just a drop or two.

    large glass tomato pepper and sauciness then slowly pour in beer. stir
    consume
    -

    =

    Why did I buy not piss-water in a can like 3.2% beer? I mean what IS the point of non-alcoholic beer – it’s really just NON BEER?
    Because I like malty things and was curious as to whether it’s a far too often in my life drinkie-poo YOU”RE KILLING YOUSELF howl or is it something else that makes it hard to get moving in the morning?

    first off. it ain’t half bad the booze-less van gogh minus the raw egg. or a tomato beer. it doesn’t need the pepper which annoyingly can float on the foamy bubbles for a bit. it’s an odd feeling heavy as in full without also needing a nap . and! don’t you just love run on sentences?… heh
    AND don’t you just sense that i stayed up just a hair longer with those carbs as non alcoholic beer has calories and carbs as does the juice ala tomato with the added zing of sodium in juice and hot sauce to monitor.

    second. I woke just as chipper / no go power as always. alcohol consumption solved not one demon of my morning. I felt not one stitch better I got just as many carbs if not slightly more . nothing whatever changed.

    wannnnnh. so back to a wave of booze? no. I bought the round of na beer to see if it doesn’t lead to another round of na beer. the blessing after is not so much to quit drinking as it has no immediate value one way or another just later pluses, but to not want five beers a sitting. or some equally hyperbolic exaggeration of my evening. Okay I may never be a one and done fellow but 3 or 4 beers needn’t happen 2 is sufficient. how do you get to this place? this place of “restraint” don’t drink you dummy! that is the purpose of the experiment if as i expected my sins are consumption of carbs related still not consumption of alcohol.
    this said; welcome to doggy days of summer…. get your red eyes on….even if they’re beyond the pale like mine.

  • professional creative writing

    please note that the title isn’t properly capitolized to offer you one sliver of hope that i can be ignored.  do you REALLY think i lack entire confidence?? “{ on you.  now back to how to run an activity.

    Creative writing is rife with dissonant views on what is and what isn’t the subject at hand.  i am new to the gigs nevermind doing well in my accreditted studies.  nevermind my xanga prowess even!.

     

    let’s haiku.  Why because it is poetry with josh….or so it says on the calender. 10:40 poetry with josh. and by gum, i had better start on time or yet one more demerit from the auditors and one more ghoulish like i would court it 2567.   yes the very nasty form liable to papercut me if i fail to do my job.  make no mistake, i work in fear of the johnny law of bitchy cheapass children wanting their inheritances back.

     

    haiku is not particularly difficult a form for an englished soul..i.e. i speak no origiaal japanese to speak of.  the form is ensconced with it’s accepted interpretations here independant somewhat of it’s parent.

     

    I vividly remember haiku’s form to me the following: subject action and meaning within three framed lines of five seven and five syllales each with the internal rhyming repeating one line into the next with one clunker mid-end second of the lines….american haiku say away with you on that bitch of a form pretty much asking only for a flowing meter of either five seven five or six eight six….no rhyme is required.  

     

    however, please be warned I find it hard to rhyme or parse later vague words without any rhyme so i ask up front that we try at least to rhyme the reuired 3words of rhyme and one cluncker.

     

    so: imagine the group picking first a word.  now imagine rhynming that word twice much more.  pick out any ol’ word clunker and lets honestly haiku.

     

    today’s words sincerely were well, spell hell and house.

     

    turning the first sentence is up for debate and or group dickering but once it is done making up the last sentence is not as hard so long as the whisper of form is followed that the last line color the meaning.

    better well than hell

    t’was spelled out and i sent home

    it’s temporary.

     

    why that?

    why not as now the power of lauding bullshit can leap to the fray.  better well than hell who wishes to be ill or in lesser health?  t’was spelled out and i sent home… oh you can imagin that the cruelest of fates deny me that twas spelled out and i sent to A home… remember i work in just that, a retirement home.  it’s….temporary?

     

    hate to say it but it tits up pine box or you are leaving without jesus’ proof you’ve regressed not in attituude alone 30 years.  

     

    and there you have it what was cajouled out of the creative writers today.

     

    my example haiku is

    burn learn, return dust.

     

    burned, the shelf returned – that pressed-dust disappointment,ilive and I learn.
