friday fun #4

We missed Friday fun last week so we’re definitely going to make up for it this week. This week it is all about the audio and visual.

Obviously I love the visual. I spend hours on end taking and processing my photography. But what you don’t know is that while I’m doing that, I’m often listening to podcasts or music on my iTunes. I learn fun and interesting things and they give me more quirky things to wow the dinner party crowds with (as if I actually went to dinner parties).

retro
Remember those things called cassette tapes? You know what I mean. We had boxes and boxes of them. We made them for boyfriends so that they could hear exactly what sappy music made us think of them (or was that only me???). Do you have any old tapes around that you don’t listen to anymore (if only I could convert that Spandau Ballet to digitally-formatted CDs with ease *sigh*)? Okay, obviously, I do have some. But now, like ginsu knives, they are the perfect accessories. Yes, even you can now be the proud owner of a cassette tape wallet!

tarantino?
You make videos. You think they are good. You think you should be making money off of your low-budget videos. Or your documentary may be the next big thing to break open the scandals in your hometown. Revver believes in you, too. Get paid for the videos you upload.

get out your pencils?
You’ve always wanted to be a comic book artist but just didn’t have the right pencils to make it to the big time. Fear not, intrepid doodler. Photojojo shows you how to convert your digital photography (yes, digital photography) into that prized comic book art you’ve always wanted.

fingers tired?
Is writing email getting you down? Is it taking up too much of your time? Slawesome now offers voice email. And if you want to try it out on someone, I’m more than willing to be your victim (especially if you’re male and have an interesting accent - heh).

old school
This is old, I know, but still worth the link. And for those of you who haven’t been to the Apple Movie Trailers web pages, you’re missing out. Loads of trailers to entice you into movie viewing. It’s well worth the hours you can spend wasting away here. Forget house cleaning and meeting with clients. Watch movie trailers!

excuses, excuses
I thought I came up with good excuses for having an out-of-date blog. These take the cake. And they are real. Thanks to the f-blog for collecting them for us.

I won’t request any finders fees. If you hit the big time, just remember us little people that helped you get there. Now get out there and become famous!
