Microbefox and The Sumo Lounge

Sumo Lounge used my latest video on their website under: demonstration videos. The video initially was specifically to put on MyGidol profile, but Sumo Lounge was nice enough to use it for their use. I've been in contact with Andrew, the owner of Sumo lounge and you should probably expect more Microbefox videos demonstrating the urban lounge. I normally don't like to advertise, but after receiving my sumo lounge and using it constantly, because I don't have much furniture in my flate, this product is just too good not to talk about it. The Sumo lounge is the great comeback of the beanbag chair. It does carry on that retro-70s feel to the mix, but it seems more fresh and new with the way it is packaged. Snowbeads are what stuff it and it works entirely well. I remember when my sister had a doll that was stuffed with snow beads and I always wondered what it would be like to have something big stuffed with snowbeads. Sumo lounge gave me the answer to my question. It's very comfortable and light weight. When you sit on the lounge it contours to your body and supports it comfortably. This product is amazing for people who have back problems, because it helps reduce stress on the parts of the back. The material encasing the beads is sturdy and does not show any sign of it breaking in the near future. It looks like it is made of some strong poly-fiber and that would probably explain for easy to clean surface. Surprisingly the product does breathe too. So when your sitting down you don't have to worry about a misty bottom or wet trousers and underpants (although, you may piss yourself with the exhilaration of sitting in one of these, so be forewarned). If you are in the look out for cool furniture for your place or have some extra cash then visit: http://www.sumolounge.com You’ll be happy you did.

Jump in my Car

Hasselhoff is ruling the internet videos! I'd say this is one of his best. "I can't stop this feeling" video was funny, but this one was really good. Don't agree? Well, you and I are in the wrong ballpark! GET OUT! I give this an A.

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

Latest Microbefox Edit. I had to get my PSP to good use. I think there will be many videos with this concept! We'll just have to wait and see.

And the Winner is...

FORTKNOX I honest and truly like their video. I just had a short message from one of the members of Fortknox and I agree that the polls were a bit bombarded with community votes rather than a vote for art. There's no complaint at all. We fought well and we both turned out victorious in the end. I love Gidol! It's a place full of really talented and positive people!

Rants, MACs and PCs

The Windows Movie Maker program is highly underestimated, but it is limited, yet it still does the job. When I customized my PC I wanted to make sure I had something that can handle massive amounts of rendering. I only realized that dual processors are only good if the program is optimized to take advantage of that feature. Here are the specs of my computer: SEAGATE 200GIG HDD Pentium D Processor 3.00Ghz All-In-Wonder X800 Graphics Card Sound Audigy 2 Sound Card 4 GIG DDR2 RAM (Not used to full capacity for some reason) CD/DVD Drive To tell you the truth, when I first used the PC I played games with it only such as The Movies and World of Warcraft. Then when I finally started to make some video I noticed that Windows Movie Maker doesn't take advantage of the processing power of the Pentium D. This past semester I used G4 MACs to edit the Secret Asian Man - UWD (click to view) video. Man, do I respect MAC users and their patience with that kind of computer. The one thing I hated about those MAC computers is that it crashed many times during editing. Final Cut Pro pissed me off a lot, because movie video scenes sometimes moved already set video on the sequence.. Ahh so hard to explain, but I think MAC computers are really good for multimedia productions, because their optimized to take the most out of your creations. If anything I'd love to get a new MAC computer just for editing. One other program that I have heard only good things about is Adobe Premier. I have not used that editing program, but I think since i have a PC it'll work well together with my processor and RAM. Rendering would probably take half the time it would normally take with Windows Movie Maker. The one thing I hate about Windows Movie Maker is that you can only save files in .wmv file format. I had to convert my video files to Mpeg1 and Mepeg2 to make sure Google Video's player would sync the video with music. It's sort of frustrating when your video doesn't sync.
