I've been getting this Blog on my Kindle for a couple of months now. I've tried many different Blogs hoping to find some interesting reads. I find this one to be one of the best.

It updates everyday and sometimes throughout the day. What I really like is when it makes a comment on a subject, it backs it up with a copy of the transcript of the conversation or what ever.

This Blog is definitely for the Conservative.

I have yet to purchase this DVD but it is on my wish list...I recently saw this movie on TV...I think it was on PBS. TGR is the producer and they did a fine job in the final editing and mostly thoughtful interviews with a wide range of surfers and people involved in the wave world. I have seen dozens of X-treme movies and they are usually good for the first 15 minutes. But, again, the thoughtful and thorough journalistic approach to this movie should make it entertaining even for the average mother earth patron.

Internet Media Recorder
$29.99
I baught this product for $6.00 at a outlet store. One with bright Orange stickers.

+ It is easy to use and will recored everything inside a little box you highlight. It has a very easy setup, and very nice help bar. Will record nice little clips with or without sound, which is great for home made AMVs.

- It only recoreds up to 2GB of footage. Which i thought was a lot but when looking at a regular Divx movie, it was only like a three-four min segments. The recorder did not tell me that my 2GB were running out, it just let me record. And then it would show me later that it was not going to work. All in all a short 18 min movie was broken up into 8 peices instead of two or three.

All in all find another Media recorder if you want a long video.
