How to turn your blog into a book!

Sometimes I think it would be cool to convert my blog into a book and sell it. So I searched around and I found a website that would go through your blog and turn it into a softcover, hardcover, or down-loadable book version. I thought it would be cool for you to have a look so I put a link at the bottom of the page for you to go and give it a try for yourself! I haven't made one for myself but someday in the future I might think about it!
Also once you order copies of your "blook" (blog + Book = Blook) you will have to sell them somewhere. There are many different ways to sell them but I think the easiest would be to sell them right there on your blog. Just use Pay-Pal to collect payments and you all set! Have Fun!

5 Must Have Applications For Your Computer

Sometimes we look for software or fuss about not being able to do something on the computer because we don't want to have to buy the expensive software that does that. Below I will show you my 5 top applications for your computer!


Pixillion is a handy piece of software to have installed onto your computer. It allows you do convert and re-size different images to meet your needs.
Switch can come in handy when you download an audio file off of the Internet but it won't work with your mp3 player because your mp3 player can only understand a single format of audio. This software will allow you to convert just about any type of audio format into and type of audio format. For example, if you want to get a ".wav" file into am ".mp3" file you can pull up this software and it will do it for you within seconds!
Audacity is a very complex audio recorder. Whether your a musician or you just want to grab an audio clip you heard on the Internet this is the software for you. You can record from any input on your computer including your speakers. The feature I like the most is being able to record in layers. This is especially good for musicians because you can record all of your instruments are different times and then just past one track on-top of the other and you are able to have a song will multiple instruments playing at the same time but only one person has to actually play the instruments!
I love gimp. Gimp is a professional grade photo editing software. It is basically Adobe Photo-shop but for free! You can crop, edit, re-size, and all that good stuff to any image! I would defiantly recommend giving this one a try!
CamStudio can come in handy if you ever want to record your computer screen. If you want to make computer game videos for YouTube this is the software for you. It allows you to record anything that is displayed on your computer screen in high quality!
Well hopefully you give some of these a try because I have had a lot of fun with them and they come in handy while your working on the computer!
Have Fun!



How to Remote Control a Computer over the Interent

There is this website called logmein.com. LogMeIn is a large on-line remote desktop provider that allows to to remote control computer from across the world. They have professional packages that include sound and file sharing but you have to pay for a subscription to those. What I am going to show you is free but doesn't have all of the cool features but it still allows you to remotely control any computer.
First you are going to need to create an account at LogMeIn. Just click here to be directed to the sign up page. When you go to that page there will be an option to start a LogMeIn Rescue account or to just start a free plain account. You are going to want to select the first option and click continue. Then you will be asked for some information. Fill the forms out with valid information, you don't have to worry about spam or anything because LogMeIn is a very safe and secure site.

Once you have created you account and confirmed it you will now be able to add a computer. If you would like to add your computer so it may remotely connected to, select "Add This Computer." Go through the setup and install the software and adjust the setting to how you want them. Once that is all set up you will be able to log onto LogMeIn from any computer in the world and as long as the main computer is on you will be able to connect to it and control it.
Once you have the main computer you want to control added you are able to add other computers. You can add many computers. I find this software use full if you are running some sort of home server and you need to access it from a remote location, you can just log onto LogMeIn and control your computer. Another way to use this would be if you have older people in your family that are not very good with computer. You can go over to there house one day and install the software and now whenever they need computer help you can just log onto there computer and assist them with whatever they may need.
I hope you found this interesting and have fun playing around with it! If you have any questions or need help setting this up please feel free to leave a comment below with your question or just sending me a message!
Have Fun!

Review of The Motorola Fv100 2-way Radios

Review of The Motorola Fv100 2-way Radios


I love these little guys. They are so small and compact and they do they job. I use them when every I am working on something and I have to contact someone on the other side of the house. Just last week we were working on the basement and I had to feed a line into the basement from the 1st floor. These 2-ways allowed me to easily call down and tell him to pull the cable or to hold on a second. They come in handy and are so cheap that there work having around. (I bought them at Target for about $15)

Pros:

  • Lightweight
  • Small
  • Durable (I have dropped them a few times and they still work great!)
  • Come with belt clip
  • Have a call tone
  • Great Price

Cons:

  • Don’t go very far. They are good for work around the house but once you get about half a mile away they start to fuzz up.
  • They don’t come with rechargeable batteries. So I went out and I bough some rechargeable AAA batteries to use instead.
  • Don’t have any features like a head set or hands free operation.
