I really love watching documentaries and the following is absolutely the best.

It’s about one hours and twenty minutes long but the subject was so captivating (and some parts were quite shocking too) that I was glued to my computer screen not moving the whole period almost like I’m being hypnotized.

I cannot tell you what it is about, you have to see it for your self:-

I’m a huge fan of American sitcoms and just can’t get enough of them, so I was ecstatic when I’ve found this website called throwawayyourtv.com,

It provides some of the best resources of American comedy videos. Here’s an example:-

The ninjas are feared assassins in Japan and have kept their secrets among themselves for hundreds of years. Very little is known about them so I was quite shocked to have found out this website called ‘Ask a ninja’. It is started by a ninja who have decided to go against the pact of secrecy and reveal (within limits) the intimate secrets of ninjahood.

I would like to salute this brave ninja for risking his life by doing this but nevertheless he’s providing a great service for humanity.

Be warned that due to the nature of the ninja profession, the video podcasts does mentioned death quite a lot and some of the topics are certainly not for the squeamish. Although I would highly recommend it to anyone interested to find out more about this secret brotherhood and their deadly arts.

Here’s a sample video, don’t say I didn’t warn you…

I’ve just discovered a new feature from Google video that allows you to link to videos in its repository.

Basically if you click on the ‘Put on site’ link on whichever video you want to link to, you’ll get a snippet of code which you can insert in your post.

I see this as a cool bandwidth saving feature. You can upload your videos on Google video and just link it to your website like what I’ve done here. No need to host a large video file on your server anymore .

Here’s one video I’ve created earlier……

If you have a bunch of photos you’d like to share with people, I would highly recommend using a freely downloadable software from Microsoft called Photo Story 3 for Windows. It allows the user to create a video slide show, complete with audio track using the user’s still photo collection.

The beauty of the program is that it is so easy to use. It takes the ‘wizard’ approach where the software guides you through each step of the video creation process. For audio the user is able to add a narration or alternatively like what I’ve done in this sample, is to use the built in music generator. You just need to play around with a few settings and voila……instant soundtrack. Perfect for people with zero musical talent like me. However, one of my colleagues said that the music sounds like it came from a porn flick .

Humpph……I bet he’s just jealous.

Anyways, you can download a sample of what I’ve created using photos taken whilst SCUBA diving around north Sulawesi, Indonesia by clicking here.
