Finally got around to post some 3D videos we’ve created for one of our clients. This 40-second excerpt is from a full 3 minute installation video. That’s coming as well, just a little later.
New movie for AquaShield (December 19, 2006): In the process of creating a new flash/TV movie for AquaShield. To me it looks amazing, you can see a screenshot on the left. The movie features pool cover assembly process in full 3D and full color. Honestly - I wanna see this on TV :)
Yahoo clicks aren`t clicking (March 12, 2007): Today I got a call from one of my clients asking me to check stats with him as he is seeing certain discrepancies in Overture reports. We went in and figured that the number of clicks reported by Overture roughly 3 times larger then what is being reported by AWstats. Upon contact, Yahoo/Overture issued a [...]
WordPress or Joomla? (January 4, 2008): When choosing a Content Management system for your web site it is usually a good idea to ask yourself - what is the problem you are trying to solve?
Most people (as I noticed on several message boards) make same mistake - they try to figure out what software they need to make money online. "I [...]

Social media gets more diverse every time someone uploads the video on YouTube. It gets more popular every time someone watches that video. And, obviously it gets more social when you pass a link to or embed a video into your blog or web site. It’s hard to say who exactly came up with this idea (I think it is instinctive thing), but “do as I do” routine almost never fails.So every time some creative video gets out there, some other people think “hey, I can do that too”. And they try to.
Forget the reality shows your parents used to watch. WWF is a good stunt work. Next generation reality shows are going to be different. Studios still casting people who look good on TV, but that’s about to change. In the world where everybody can become his own video producer for less money than cost of a semester in a decent private college, next TV would be whole home-made. People increasingly watch videos online instead of regular TV. Ubiquitous broadband (including high-speed mobile), YouTube on your mobile device (hello, iPhone) and next-gen TVs with network hook-up will let you watch your favorite web site in your favorite cafe, in the comfort of your living room, on the go. Or upload your footage just as easy.
Just make sure you get that lens cap off before you start shooting.

There is also a very high need to increase a PR, Alexa rank, Compete Rank and so on. There must be a way to reuse the content, at least that part of it that [...]

Zango Time! (May 21, 2007): Out of all the latest lawsuits this one is particularly hilarious. Here's the quote:Online media company' Zango, which gained notoriety for redirecting adult affiliate traffic and the first ever MySpace worm, is now suing the anti-spyware vendor PC Tools, maker of an application called 'Spyware Doctor', for removing Zango applications off the consumers' PCs.As some [...]

Yahoo holds its ground (February 12, 2007): Last week I subscribed to Yahoo music. Yeah, I know. But I was going to give it a try anyway.Surely, the service sucked from the very beginning - you have to download a special player (called Yahoo Jukebox), that downloads tons of crap while playing my purchased music. This itself is a very fishy concept [...]
Windows Of Choice (December 21, 2006): Thanks, Exler!Fatboy Slim's song Weapon of Choice, with Christofer Walken:[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_QU98FcZWk">Microsoft's spoof ad - Windows Of Choice.

Windows Live Writer (August 15, 2006): Turns out the whole idea of having a desktop app to manage and post to blogs surely wasn't a bad one. Microsoft had managed to come up with a tool that is compatible not only with their own MSN Spaces, but with LiveJournal, WordPress, MovableType and even Blogger (this post, if successfull would mean it works).
