Alfred Hitchcock liked to do his own film trailers. They don't make them like this anymore. His for The Birds" promo, is also quite droll.
Orson Welles also did one for Citizen Kane that is quite unlike what we see today.
July was originally called Quintilis (from Quintus, meaning “fifth”), but it was renamed by Mark Antony to honor the murdered Julius Caesar, who was born on July 12.
Regina Spektor has a new album out called Far - and you can listen to the whole album online (streaming, not a download).
It's bad enough that I often eat my lunch at my office computer. Do we really need this low-fat and high-bandwidth solution to cooking? The George Foreman USB iGrill connects to your computer!
You can download recipes, enter in the type of food, weight and desired degree of doneness, and the iGrill handles the rest.
Leave the unit home and you can warm up the iGrill from your office Internet connection. Using the USB current to directly charge high voltage capacitors, the iGrill does not require any additional power supply, making it perfect for dorm or office cooking.
There was a time when a "Gold Record" meant that you had sold a certain number of vinyl albums. Of course, that has changed. I was curious what it means in this digital age.
These awards from the Recording Industry Association of America now include other music formats.
GOLD means 100,000 Internet downloads or 500,000 albums, CDs, ringtones or singles. (Do they still make singles?)
PLATINUM means 200,000 Internet downloads or 1,000,000 albums, CDs, ringtones or singles.
Multiplatinum 400,000 Internet downloads or 2,000,000 albums, CDs, ringtones or singles.
DIAMOND means 10,000,000 albums, CDs, or singles - No ringtones or downloads. I'm OK with no ringtones, but downloads seems a pretty legitimate format by now.
