Can You Hear The Kbps?

.
Here is a cool test to see if you can hear the difference between a audio clip with a bit rate of 320 Kbps and one with 128 Kbps.

I was surprised. I was fooled even after playing the clips (loudly) on both my Logitech 5300 surround speakers and my Boss earphones.

Can you hear which one is better?

Check it out.

Friday night: Didn't leave the house. Sucked.
Saturday night: Went out, and it sucked.

I hate when the people you are with just bring everyone down, and ruin what could have been a good time.

Can't remember the last time I went out in this town and had an awesome time...

Something has got to change.

Need a Video Movie?

Ok, this just blew my fucking mind. HAHA.

I came across this video on College Humor. It is a promotional video of a couple who makes custom videos for other people... And it's absolutely ridiculous.




Awful. The whole thing is awful. Graphics, audio, animation, editing..."actors". Everything. It's crap. But the thing that blew me away was the end. They slowly start to scroll (in bright '1337' neon green letters) their website (www.fredandsharonsmovies.com) down the screen. So of course I want to check out what I can only imagine will be one of the greatest things I will ever see in my life time. However, when I get there, I am faced with "Pay here to access". That's right. They are gonna try and make you pay just to get the privilege to SEE their website.

1 CAD dollar will grace your presents with what I will assume can only be more stellar videos by Sharon and Fred...

I don't pay for any of the music, videos, software, or any of the other material I get off the internet, so why do Fred and Sharon think I am going to pay now? HAHA.

These people are stupid. Just stupid people. They remind me of idiots on American Idiot. The ones who think they are the best thing to walk the earth... And it probably all started with someone making a comment like "Oh, that is a neat video. You should start a company like this..."

... I can only laugh after seeing this.

And if you do decide to click the Pay to Access button, you'll find that you will have to pay every time you want a nifty custom video made...

"This entitles you to access this website for this session only.
Once you navigate away from this website you will have to pay again."

Anyway, it just made me laugh. And hey, I'm sure they are nice people, and maybe now they make a damn good video. Gotta start somewhere right?

Rant over.

(Clever Title Here)

.
Ok I haven't been posted anything lately, and I have no good reason. I am just lazy... That's all. When I get home from work I eat supper, then usually just sit on the couch and watch TV, or a movie, or I occasionally head out and actually do something... and when I come downstairs to do a post or anything time consuming related to my computer, I just don't have the ambition, and It's just getting pathetic... It used to be something I very much enjoyed, but now it seems that because I am so exhausted, it feels like more of a chore. However I want this to change, and am going to try to do more of the techie things I used to do. Starting with the following:

- Post about Kelowna
- Post about Arena cross
- Maybe a quick note about Bon Jovi (yeah... that's old), and Big and Rich
- Post about of things I've been doing/buying/watching/listening to, etc.
- Format my computer (Again... things are not as they should be :S)
- Format my parents computer (Best to start from scratch with that thing...)
- Teach my Dad how to rip CD's and steal music and put that all onto his iPod
- Perhaps do a performance upgrade
- Get back into playing some online games (Fuck Xbox! PC FTW)


And this all has to be done before it gets nice enough to roll the RR out for riding season :D

So yeah, that's it. I know I've said it before, but I'm really going to try to stick to my guns and get back into my old past time.
