  • “Zookeeper” Movie Review

    “Zookeeper” Movie Review

    “Zookeeper” Movie Review (great family friendly movie!) I love this scene! The critics can take lessons in how to enjoy life.  Hey….”Zookeeper” is not an Oscar worthy high brow serious movie.  It IS a FUN family movie that kids and adults will both enjoy.  It is funny, it is FUN, and it teaches a lesson:…

  • Facebook Skype Video Chat

    Well, it seems that Facebook now offers point-to-point video chatting from within Facebook. Good for them!  BUT…point-to-point is kinda useless…just saying.  I have more than one friend I like to chat with, and all the Bay Shore Kids could have a reunion. Overall Opinion  HoHum, but, at least video conferencing is now reaching the masses.…

  • Lytro Light Field Camera: A Photography Revolution

    I spotted this last week and thought it was simply AWESOME. How many times have you fiddled with camera focus (or waited for the automatic focus to get it right) before taking a picture? This new technology, from Lytro, promises to change the way we take photographs.  The person (Ren Ng) who invented this did…

  • UC Berkeley Student Orientation by Caitlin Dong

    UC Berkeley Student Orientation by Caitlin Dong

    UC Berkeley Student Orientation by Caitlin Dong Just as high school freshmen attend orientation, so do college freshmen. I attended freshman orientation for UC Berkeley in the middle of June. Everyone abbreviated and referred to orientation as CalSO (Cal Student Orientation). I just learned the other week that UC Berkeley is also known as “Cal”…

  • Using Windows Live Movie Maker

    Been playing around learning Windows 7’s Windows Live Movie Maker. Even though it is not as robust as a paid for movie maker, it is, in my opinion, sufficient for hackers (like me) up to, maybe, the intermediate movie producer.  Beyond that, you will have to find something more powerful. NOTE:  Click the pictures to…

  • “Hitch” Movie Review

    “Hitch” Movie Review

    “Hitch” Movie Review (wholesome, heartwarming, fun) We pulled out an old DVD….I had forgotten how good this 2005 movie was… All you need is the confidence to approach the one you like.  Hitch can help. Will Smith (Alex “Hitch” Hitchens), Kevin James (Albert Brennaman), Eva Mendes (Sara Meles) and Amber Valletta (Allegra Cole) are terrific.…

  • “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” Movie Review

    “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” Movie Review

      Apparently, the race to the moon in the 60’s was spurred by the crash of an alien spacecraft on the moon.  The U.S.A. wanted to get there first. Since I remember watching the landing on TV, the scenes of that historic event were really cool.  I had no idea that Armstrong and Aldrin found…

  • Google+ Social Network

    Soooo, are you ready to drop Facebook and move over to Google+??? Well, they are taking requests, but, apparently Google+ is not quite ready for the big time (why announce it and not be ready?????) . It looks interesting though…I will definitely try it and invite some of you to join. Looking at the video above, they…

  • “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Movie Review

    “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” Movie Review

      We are all caught up (it only took us, what, 10 years?) after watching “Wolverine” on Blu-Ray this weekend. Simply put, this is the story of Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) and his brother Victor Creed (Liev Schreiber)  starting when they were kids then fighting in several wars (Civil, WWI, WWII, and as Mercenaries) and finally…
