PCS Moves

This doesn't apply to every move. I have never done an international move, and I have heard that, due to increasing budget cuts, do-it-yourself moves are not as profitable as they used to be. But, here are my how-to's and two cents.

Rumblefish - Quit Claiming My Personal Content!

This video was made prior to hearing back from Rumblefish, a company that wrongfully put a copyright claim out on my video. Within 24 hours of posting this video Ben, a Rumblefish employee, wrote back and released the claim on my video. Since then, the same video has been reclaimed two additional times.

If this happens to you, I suggest writing YouTubeContentID@rumblefish.com, as well as dispute the claim with YouTube.

How Not to Use Your Credit Cards

This has a primary angle towards the groups I am familiar with - younger students and military families. Hope it helps someone out!

AdSense Update

I never told you guys what happened after I appealed my disabled account. Here's what happened:

Gaming Addition

Here are my thoughts on the topic of gaming addiction (mostly referring to computer/console gaming):


2 Geek Girls also did an episode on this growing epidemic:

SOPA (Quite Late in the Game)

Okay, so I made this in December when SOPA/PIPA were being discussed heavily. Unfortunately, I forgot to make a space for it in my blog posting calendar.

Currently, SOPA is dead in its current form. However, if we do not learn from this event, a similar, or even worse bill, can appear very soon.

Anti-Bullying Campaign

Lets face it, we all get bullied at some point or another. But, it seems that bullying has gotten out of control in the United States, and people hate out of fear, ignorance, and general intolerance for anyone even slightly different. So, this is my campaign of videos against bullying.

This is for the It Gets Better Project:


Stand Together video:




Having said all of this though, there IS a difference between being bullied and getting a critique. We're in a day where every participant gets a trophy, no one is allowed to lose, and so, everyone thinks they're perfect and no one really seems to know how to handle criticisms any more. So, I also many a video about the difference:

Zombie Fasion Blog

I Googled my blog, to see what would happen and I was so excited to see that I got used as a referral video on quite a lot of other pages. One that really made me smile was a fashion blog post about zombie make up! That's not exactly what I intended the smokey eye video for, but, hey, I LOVE ZOMBIES so I'll take it! :D

So I wanted to send some love and smile back to the post at http://www.famous-flowers.com/?tag=zombie

And if you missed one of my first post on making the quick and easy smokey eye look, here it is for you.


I also noticed that I'm showing up a lot in hair bow and adoption pages, which is very cool too. In fact, I'm dumbfounded to find 19 pages that return on Google with my exact url to this blog. But then I found my vlogs on a site in India and I'm not sure what to think of that one. It's neat to have an international audience, but at the same time, who in India would care what I have to say? Most Americans don't and I would imagine I have less commonality with the people of India - but I still welcome you all and thanks for watching!

Rebel T2i and Movie Mode Issues

I think I've mentioned before that I consider myself a professional photographer at this stage of my progress (9 years of study/training/work).

I recently got a Canon Rebel T2i, which I love working with. However, the Movie Function wasn't working right. First I had trouble figuring out how to record, then when I could record the movie would stop after a few seconds. So here is how you can fix those issues:
