The end of the MacBook Pro

Look at all those glorious ports!

TL:DR Opinion: Apple just took a wrong turn in their redesign of the workhorse MacBook Pro. I remember the day perfectly. I was at a video shoot. We were doing an artsy thing with a shallow depth of field. I was shooting on manual with my Canon DSLR (a T2i at the time) and the client wanted to …

How to hide a video on YouTube

Facepalm

Face it. There are some videos that you just don't want to share with the world. Fact: I once did a slightly embarrassing video for someone's birthday that fit into that description.  Unfortunately for me I set the video to unlisted.  237 views later, I'll explain why that was a bad idea down …

A Seasonal Listing Video

Lincoln Crum shared this wonderfully executed video.   It's very different isn't it?  Entertaining?  I think so. There's a couple of things that surprise me though... 1.  It's Seasonal.  Right off the bat that means it'll have a limited shelf life. 2.  It went live on YouTube …

WordPress Basics: Embedding a Video

How to add a custom thumbnail to your YouTube Video

When it comes to video, the one complaint I constantly hear is about the video thumbnail. "Oh why did they have to pick that one!" That's the Video Thumbnail they are talking about, also called the first frame.  It's the static image that shows on your video before the viewer clicks the play …

Who to host with?

It's the #1 question I'm asked - where to find inexpensive shared hosting. Here's who I recommend.
Data Servers are a HUGE drain on the power grid. Here's a host that sources 300% of it's power from Wind and Solar! On top of that, their service ROCKS!
Check out GreenGeeks

Need more power?

WPEngine has it!
