I made the featured video at Vlic
I have been testing a lot of the video options for short clip shooting and posting via the iPhone. The apps are often call the “Instagram of Video” apps. The idea is that you shoot short clips. The max length depends on the app but it is usually between 15 to 60 seconds long. No splicing of clips together is allowed. I want to make an effort to shoot short clips all s spring/summer and get them online quick. When I say quick I mean within minutes of shooting. One of the apps that I have been testing and really like is called Vlix. Vlix offers intro and exit text, music...

Read MoreBlu-ray Catalog System
You might have noticed that I started a Blu-ray Collection page. This is my attempt to catalog my collection on the blog. Since I never did catalog my DVD collection I thought I’d start over with the Blu-rays. To create and display the catalog I am using a WordPress plugin called MyTreasures.

Go ahead and click the link in the top navigation to see the start of my Blu-ray collection. I...
