My Corvette

When it comes to cars, some guys never settle. And me too. In fact, I really do.

My Corvette is an icon of performance. It has '67 black convertible with a black top and interior, a 427 big block, a four-special, aluminum wheels, and factory side pipes. It's actually a car racer. I just love to drive it.

Wall-mount LED

I just love the Trilux wall-mounted luminaries which featured Luxeon K2 9W, 18W, 36W and 50@ LEDs that mechanically bonded to an aluminum heat sink. The LEDs provide 5, 500 K lumen output in neutral white, warm white, red and blue color. It is available in five diameters from 2 1/2 in. to 5 in. and 10 fixture sizes from 3 in. to 9 1/2 in., the product also features an LED driver that accepts input voltages from 100 VAC to 277 VAC.

I have four wall-mount LED which is clearly be seen at the outside of my home. I love the idea that it guards the safety of my house every night.

Converting analogue video

A significant advantage of transferring VHS recordings to DVD is that you can enhance the footage, add chapters (which makes navigating your home movies easier) and use menus to give your home videos a Hollywood feel, Computer Shopper magazine (113) said.

Unfortunately, unless you have a digital video camera with an analogue input, there's no way of copying VHS videos to your PC without some expense. This is because you need some way to connect a video player to a PC, and PCs rarely come with suitable hardware. The good news though, is that video-capture devices are cheap.

Fortunately, the easiest way to record analogue content and store it in a digital format is to use a combined DVD and VHS recorder. With one of these devices you can play the video, insert a blank disc into the DVD slot and record the content in real time. You'll also have to rip your DVDs "if you want to get the files back on to your hard disk.

Moreover, if you want to transfer your ovies to your PC, you could buy a USB VHS player. Plug the VHS layer into your PC's USB port and install the EZ VHS Converter software that comes with it. When you run the program, select VCR 2 PC and a small box appears on the screen. This displays the video footage on the tape. Type in a file name and then specify how long you want to record for. Press Record and the footage will play in the box onscreen.

The ION VCR@PC provides tracking controls, which you can adjust to get the best video quality. By default, the resulting MPEG files are stored in your My Videos folder. The EZ VHS Converter software has limited editing abilities, but you can use it to cut out unwanted parts of the video.

CS-8000 Circuit Seeker

Last week, I called for a help of an expert electrician here closed in Katy, Texas to check our electric wires and electric box because I felt that there is a serious problem with our electricity. It can't perform well with our high voltage units and appliances.

I was looking at the electric expert as he do fix the problem. He has use a gadget that has a small screen in it. It is called CS-8000 Circuit Seekers as he said. No wonder he easily detects the main problem and that was the concealed wiring and a little break of an open, live circuit. He said that if I didn't directly ask for help, chances are the wire will cause fire.

Indeed, I feel at ease now that our electricity gives its safe function. But thanks to the electricity expert and his CS-8000 Circuit Seeker for a job, excellently work done.

FBX900 Fan/Fixture Box

I recently bought an elegant chandelier for $387. I decided to place it in my living room. As a result, I called the expert to have it installed. What a good idea that they install it between two rafters using FBX900 Fan/Fixture Box. Usually, I've noticed that chandelier gadget is mostly placed directly in the ceiling. But the home expert said that it is better to have an expandable brackets that securely mount the chandelier between joists, eliminating the need to cut and nail 2x4s to the fan or fixture.

What a delightful idea! I appreciate their intelligent work.

Phillips brings cinema to TV.

I have experience true cinema into my living room because of Phillip's 21:9 television. Obviously, the TV gets its name from 21:9 aspect ratio which matches the proportions of many films. It is really good because I can watch the film or my favorite movies without any distracting black bars at the top and bottom of the picture.

Unfortunately, some of the DVDs and TV programmes which I often watch have a narrower image (typically 4:3, 16:9 or 1.85.1) which means that my Cinema 21:9 will either have to display black bars on the side of the picture of stretch the image to fill the screen, causing some distortion.

On the other hand, the horizontal bars at the top and bottom of the film are stored on DVD and Blu-ray disc as part of the picture. To get rid of them, the TV has to upscale the middle of the picture to full the screen's native resolution of 2,560x1,080, resulting in some loss of picture quality.

But these aren't really problems for me. My Cinema 21:9 is tailored to movies and that the aspect ratio is what sets the TV apart from most wide screen TVs, which are tailored for broadcast TV.

Anyway, those are not a big deal for me. What is essential is that I was entertained with what I've watched.

How to make your blog popular.

I have numerous blogs and some of them get the highest rank. Higher rank means getting huge, abundant opportunities. But risking to attain high rank needs time-investing, sacrificial efforts.

Launching a blog? Easy. Having your personal musings read by someone besides Mom? Not so easy, given that 175,000 new blogs hit the web every day. Get yours noticed. Here's how:

Digg it. The purpose of dig.com is to help people find and promote cool but obscure websites. To submit your URL, just register with the site. Users rate the entries, and if you get enough "diggs", your blog could be featured on the sites front page where millions of visitors can see it.

Furthermore, submit your blog to the big three search engines: Google, Yahoo and Microsoft's Live.com. If they know you exist, your site will show up in search results.

The easiest technique: Do a Web search for "add url to Google" (or Yahoo or Live). Follow the link, enter the info, and you're done.

Moreover, post a lot. The most popular post content daily, so focus on a topic so interesting that finding great stuff to muse on doesn't feel like work.

Lastly, write strong headlines. Clear is better than punny. Words that are directly related to your posts are indexed better by search engines.

There you go! Now, you know. Hoping you will make it into the blogging business. This is indeed takes the effort.
