Looking for a video player so you can host your videos on Amazon S3?

If you’ve ever considered using Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) for hosting your video content, then you’ll probably want to read my review of commercial video player options. Ever since I started this blog I’ve been trying to get video to work on it.  Not consistently… but about once a month I’d go try another [...]

An awesome way to honor a WWII military sniper!

Don Laird, who sometimes contributes articles here on the blog, sent me a link to a really neat video this morning. It’s the story of how the US Army Marksmanship Unit honoured 86-year-old Ted Gundy for his service.

He arrived back to his Dryden, Ontario home last night, and was greeted by his wife Donna, and [...]

The Top Ten Low-Pass Flybys of All Time

Now this is just good fun.  And some of these fly-bys are absolutely amazing.  My favourite is #3, the one with the guy standing on the runway and the fighter passes about five feet over his head. What’s yours? NOTE: Skip to 00:40 if you want to get past the Top Gun clip. All the [...]
