TQT: Queue YouTube to a Specific Time…

Ever have a long YouTube video that you want to share with others, but the good part is at the end? Well here is a nice little fix for you.

Since I gave my iPad the boot last week, I thought it was only fitting to demonstrate this technique with a Blendtec video of an iPad getting bent in half, shoved in an industrial blender, and pulverized into a powder.

The link for the video usually looks like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAl28d6tbko

If you click that link, you will end up watching entire 1 minute and 40 second clip. It’s very entertaining and you should definitely watch it.

If you want to get straight to the good stuff, you would want to start the video at the 55 second mark. You can easily have YouTube do that for you by adding the following to the end of the link:

#t=0m55s

You can modify the 0 and the 55 to whatever you want. The final link will then look like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAl28d6tbko#t=0m55s

Bam! iPad demolished!

If you want to watch another cool video starring The Digitante In Action!, check out the video below. If it doesn’t show up, click here to watch it at the YouTube site.

Friday Night Links (2/5/2010)…

Do you like music? Of course you do! Then why aren’t you listening to Evan Roberts? A buddy of mine plays guitar on Evan’s albums and another acquaintance of mine is the producer. You can check out the HD version of the video as well or you can click on the above link to find out if Evan is playing near you. By the way, he does a nice blend of R&B and rock. Pretty cool stuff.

Evan Roberts – “Golden” (Official HD Video) from Anotha One Records on Vimeo.

Do you like videos on your computer? Of course you do! Then why aren’t you saving them from the web? Got that favorite video from YouTube? Take it with you! You can even toss it on your phone. (http://thedig.in/ar)

Do you like Comcast? Of course you don’t! Then why don’t you go ahead and avoid Xfinity? (http://thedig.in/as)

Do you like Canadians? Of course you do! Then why don’t you watch this one talk about pizza pies? (http://thedig.in/at)

Do you like being in debt? Of course you don’t! But don’t get delusional that all your troubles go away when you get out of debt. So don’t just sock away your pennies and pay off your credit cards; you also need to work on your relationships, your decision making process, and your priorities. (http://thedig.in/au)

Friday Night Links (11/13/2009)…

Friday the 13th? Yikes! I’m not too worried though because I have my trusty rabbit’s foot to bring me good luck. My rabbit’s luck is not nearly as good since losing his foot in that “me chopping off his foot the day before Friday the 13th” accident. Get well soon, Sir Hops-a-lot.

You know what else I’ve got? That’s right, some links:

• Crime Exchange (http://thedig.in/5j) – One of my favorite TV shows of all time was a great drama from HBO called The Wire. It was an ultra-gritty drama about crime, drugs, and cops on the streets of Baltimore. It certainly isn’t for those who are squeamish about language, violence, or other seedy types of things. However, it is probably the most powerful and eye-opening drama series ever produced. Crime Exchange was inspired by recent comparisons between Baltimore and parts of England. Two crime reporters swapped places and are reporting their views on their new digs – London and Baltimore. Extremely intriguing.
• Find Your Shows Online (http://thedig.in/5k) – Clicker.com allows you to find where the best place to view any show online is. They brag about 6,000 shows and cover the likes of Hulu, Netflix streaming, Amazon, and numerous network sites. Really cool tool.
• Google Movie Showtimes (http://thedig.in/5l) – So we covered where to find all your favorite TV shows online, but what if you want a night out at the ol’ cinerama multiplex? Google’s got you covered with brand new showtime search results. You could always search for movie showtimes but a ton of new information has been added.
• Gmail/Picasa Extra Storage (http://thedig.in/5m) – If you have a lot of pictures on your computer, I would strongly recommend backing them up. The best way to do so is by using Picasa as your photo organizer and using the Picasa Web tool to upload them. The cost of storage space was recently drastically reduced so it is more economical than ever to backup your information to Picasa Web. Additionally, the extra capacity can be used for additional email storage as well if 7Gb for your Gmail account isn’t enough.
• BMW X5 Destroying a Car (http://thedig.in/5n) – I’m posting this one just for the shear awesomeness of it. It isn’t every day you see a monster truck rally in a gym parking lot. Turns out Hyundai gave the guy a brand-new car to replace his crushed one. Good work Hyundai. Also good work to BMW for making such a formidable off-road beast.
