I just had an experience with both YouTube and Google Video, and I found many interesting videos to watch,but I just embeded 2 favorite videos in my blog. I prefer YouTube to Google Video since I have used YouTube for a long time. Although there are many similar features of YouTube and Google Video, I feel YouTube is more successful than Google Video. At least I feel the web speed of YouTube is faster than Google Video. Also, once I am on YouTube, I cannot stop watching, because after one we can continue to watch others.
I try to figure out how to save a YouTube video to my computer, but I cannot, and I also find that we are not allowed to download videos from YouTube. It is about copyrights. But I add the two videos to my favorite. I think it has similar uses.
Then I visited www.apple.com/trailers, and tried to watch something in both standard quality and high definition. But I cannot watch the high definition because of the slow internet connection. Then I went to school to watch it. High definition is more clear than the standard quality, but the internet speed does not allow me to watch the high definition anytime I want. So I think the standard quality is good enough for me...*_* At least I can watch it anytime I like. It is enough for me although I still like the standard quality. Moreover, the monitor at school is worse than my own computer's, so maybe the monitor affects the quality a bit.
I watched the small trailer for the movie "Ratatouille" because I worried about the internet speed. Then I was shocked by it, and I would like to watch the movies right now. Trailers are very convenient for us to know the movie; they really save our time. Amazing stuff!

life2do
Firstly I read the article that make me think a lot. Then I created an account on 43things, and added 10 things to my "life2do" list that I have always wanted to own or try. This is the link to my list: http://www.listsofbests.com/person/Pumpkin100Langton . Actually, this list is "lists of bests", but not "43things". However, finally I figure out how to create a list on 43things, and this is the list on "43things": http://www.43things.com/person/Pumpkin100Langton .After that, I went to the home page of 43things; I used tags to find other things people have done that I want to do, which is "lose 35 lbs", and I added it to my list. Similarly, I found one thing I have already done, which is "learn a second language", and I use the "I have done this" to add it to my list.
I try to publish my list to my blog from within "lists of bests". This is the list:
It is similar as my list on "43things", so I only published one of them.
I love the idea of a life2do list. I feel it is a guide for my life. I can check the list and remember what I try to do. Many years ago people only could record things using paper that wasted time and paper; however, because of the improvement of a digital culture, our life have changed a lot. Such as the "life2do", it gives us a chance to record things on website and we can share to others. I am appreciated by this course and I will keep using this list.

Podcasts
On Yahoo Podcasts (http://podcasts.yahoo.com/), I find three podcasts which are: 1). http://media.libsyn.com/media/hawaii/hawaiiup20070311.mp3. This podcast is about food in Hawaii. There are very special features about it.
2). http://s3.amazonaws.com/chinesepod/0491/mp3/chinesepod_D0491pb.mp3. Learn Chinese with free daily MP3 audio podcasts!
3). http://aradio.disney.go.com/podcasts/yahoo/audio/radio_disney_now_0. It is Radio Disney! I love the podcasts because it is easy to use and very useful for me to choose anything I interested. I am interested in food(^_^) and Disney; podcasts give me many chances to know them more. I will keep using Yahoo Podcasts which is my favor.
Simply Audio Books (CND): (http://www.simplyaudiobooks.ca/ ). On it, I did not find free audio books. So I tried the others. LibriVox (http://librivox.org/ ) is free from public domain; I try it and I like this one. Audio books are useful for my life as well; I can know more things through audios. I found The Fisher's Boy by Thoreau, Henry David, which is on http://librivox.org/the-fishers-boy-by-henry-david-thoreau/ . But I do not know why I cannot use RSS feed; there is always an error about the browser (http://librivox.org/bookfeeds/the-fishers-boy-by-henry-david-thoreau.xml). But I love the e-text, which shows information briefly. "LibriVox volunteers record chapters of books in the public domain and release the audio files back onto the net. Our goal is to make all public domain books available as free audio books. We are a totally volunteer, open source, free content, public domain project." This is an important reason I love the audio books. It is totally free, so there is no purchase plan on it. I love free things! ahaha~~~

Online Generators
Online generators are very interesting for me. It is hard to say which one I like best since each one has its own strongpoints and weaknesses. Applications for things like this are not wasting time since it is not hard to do, and I like to do it.
The first generator blog is "a blog which tracks online generators of all shapesand sizes". http://generatorblog.blogspot.com/ There are many very interesting pictures in this blog. We can choose and do by ourself. The second one is an online image generator which "provides various techniques for online imagegeneration or manipulation". http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/ There are less choices on the second blog than the first one. The first one is more interesting than the second. But I think the second one is easier to do than the other one. Moreover, I find a weakness for both sites. First I try to use some pictures which are much bigger, so I have to change to some pictures which are smaller but not very clear. I think this is a kind of limitation.
I used both of these sites to experiment with creating 3 of my own "masterpieces". I first uploaded all my products to my flickr, because it is easy to upload pictures from flickr to my blog.
I find other online generator using Google, which is http://uzful.org/generators_online/on_line_generators.php. When I linked it, I was shocked by the entrance. Try it! Online generators are very interesting for me.
