I’ve always enjoyed getting humorous greeting cards on special occasions over the more serious type of cards, perhaps that’s because I enjoy a good laugh.
If you like funny ecards as much as I do you’ll probably love Vidigreet.
You can find all kinds of ecards – Birthday, Congrats, Valentine, holiday and then there’s off beat ecards such as ones in the “messing with you”, “Lets Hook Up”, “You Blow”, “Call Me’ and “I’m Sorry” categories.
I spent some time on the site browsing through the selection of ecards and I have to say they are very different than what you’ll find at other ecard sites. These greetings are like short movies, or comedy shorts and they are HILARIOUS.
I watched this one Happy Birthday ecard where a guy was sitting in a washroom stall and discovered that there was only one sheet of toilet paper on the roll, so being alone in the public washroom he snuck out of his stall to go and get more toilet paper from another toilet stall. However, that was when all of his co-workers happened to walk into the washroom to surprise him for his birthday saying “You didn’t think we’d forget, did you?”.
It wasn’t something I could totally see happening in real life, but close enough.
If you like off beat, sometimes adult – but not X-rated – humor, or rather if you know others that will like the ecards that you send them you’ve got to check out Vidigreet.
You’ll need to join Vidigreet in order to send ecards. There are three levels of membership. One option is a free membership where you’ll be able to send the weekly featured Vidigreet for free, another option allows you to send an unlimited amount of Vidigreet ecards for a day, and then there’s the one year membership that allows you to send an unlimited amount of ecards for a whole year.
Take a moment and visit the Vidigreet site. I think you’ll enjoy the ecards.

I just wrote a post on Truly Odd Planet about Dumb Criminals and I included several videos.
I was actually able to find enough dumb criminal videos that I thought I’d share a few over here too.
It’s one thing to be a dumb criminal, but it’s quite another to be a stupid one! Watch as this guy breaks into a pizza parlor by coming in a window. Unfortunately his exit from the store doesn’t go quite as smoothly!
Dumb Criminal – That’s gotta hurt!
Robber is headbanging himself
If there are any future criminals planning a heist reading this, here’s a tip – breaking in through the chimney to commit a robbery is not the way to do it!

Here’s another tip for would-be thieves – Don’t rob a security camera store! Duh!
Dumbest Criminals Ever Rob a Security Camera Store
Pulling your shirt over your head like Beavis isn’t going to keep you safe from the 24 working security cameras on sale in the SECURITY CAMERA STORE, you blasted idiots.
Please let me know if you enjoy these kind of stories and if you like watching videos occasionally as I’ll make this a regular feature.

Being a musician I’ve spent a lot of time working with programs that convert audio formats and other ones that burn CDs and DVDs and so on, but I’ve never really had a program that could do pretty much everything I wanted to do with digital media in an all in one package.
Well, I’m pleased to say that I’ve finally found a powerful all-in-one multimedia package. It’s called Blaze Media Pro. You can use it as a video converter or as an audio converter – well both really. It just depends on your needs.
Now, some of you only know me from my humor blogs, but I also have two music and guitar related blogs. I’ve been saying for ages that I’ll be posting video guitar lessons and perhaps some audio clips, but I just haven’t gotten around to it because we didn’t have software that did everything we need to do to produce decent video and audio for the blogs, but with Blaze Media Pro I’ve got everything I need!
There are so many features it’s hard to know where to begin! As I said earlier the main features that you might be interested in are video and audio conversion, but you can also use it as a CD or dvd ripper and burner, editing audio and video, recording, playback, video capture, video creation, audio and video merge and much more. You can even burn VCD and SVCD with Blaze Media Pro. Now that’s a cool feature.
When using playback on a music CD you’ll discover that you can perform lyric search, MusicID audio recognition, audio tagging and so much more. This program is going to make it so much easier for me to do video podcasts on my music sites.
You might be wondering what formats this software can convert? Well it’s audio conversions include WAV, WMA, MP3, OGG, AIFF, MPEG-4, ALAC, AAC, M4A, AC3, FLAC plus it can also do two way conversions for AVI, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, ASF, WMV, Flash (SWF and FLV), PSP, 3GP, iPod and MOV for video.
The software can be used to edit MPEG-1, MPEG-2, AVI and ASF formats, plus there are quite a few special effects and color adjustment operations that can be used when editing a video. Not to mention the fact that audio files can easily be insert into or extracted from the video, plus all the major image formats – GIF, JPG, PNG, RAS, TGA, TIF and more can be inserted or extracted when editing or creating a video.
If you’d like to try this great new all in one multimedia program you can buy it directly from the Blaze Media Pro website or you might want to take it for a test drive first and download their free trial version.
If you, like me, have been looking for an all in one package like this I really think you’ll be impressed with this software.
Let me know if you try Blaze Media Pro – I’d love to see what you do with it.
