Interesting music video featuring video chat
I colleague introduced me to this music video he found on YouTube, and I thought I would share it with you. I just love how they have integrated video chat from many different people who sort of interact with each other in the video. I’d be interested to hear your thoughts. Read More...
Project Pedal
Episode One: From the beginning from mike ambs ☂ on Vimeo.
Anyone who knows me knows that 2 of my greatest passions have been for cycling and movie making, I just wish that I had more time to do both. About 2 or so years ago I stumbled across this great site, http://projectpedal.com , which documented the making of a documentary movie telling the story of a cyclist who cycled across the USA starting at the Pacific and finishing at the Atlantic Ocean. The title of the film is For Thousands of Miles.
I’ve been following the progress of the movie since I found the site and have helped support the project, and hope to continue doing so into the future. I can’t believe I haven’t posted about this previously and it recently dawned on me to mention it on my blog so that I can help promote the project further and hopefully help Mike generate some more much need financial support so that he is able to complete this amazing project.
Please visit Mike’s site to find out more about the work he is doing. He provides regular updates on his production blog including some great behind the scenes videos he titles ’64 days’ and awesome teasers for the final movie. If you like what you see please subscribe to the updates, follow Mikes updates on Twitter at either @Pedal or @FToM and if you can please help the project financially by donating what ever you can. Most importantly join the Project Pedal community and help spread the word.
Oh, and don’t forget you can also follow me @brentvardy on Twitter.

Linux Distribution chooser
I'm often asked what Linux distribution is the best. If I'm honest this is actually a difficult question to answer. For personal use I use OpenSuSE , at work I use Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Advanced Server. It all depends on what experience you have and what you need to get out of your operating system. I recently came across this interactive web site which by asking you a number of questions aims to choose the right distribution for you. The Linux Distribution Chooser can be found at www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/. I can't guarantee it will pick the right distribution for you but it's a great starting point if you have no idea. FYI, my main operating system of choice is Mac OS X.
