While looking though an old external hard drive today, I came across some amazing old videos that I have NO IDEA where they came from. Some of these videos were pretty amazing, some were pretty lame and ended up in the trash. This one, however, required sharing. It’s called Jugg Master. Like the name implies, it’s all about the boobies. It’s short, like a couple minutes, so click the image to make the jump. You’ll be glad you did. (Note: You probably guessed already, but this video is NSFW.)

Before you click “play”, I should warn you I shot this whole thing on a cheap little standard-def Flip Mino camcorder ($129 +tax from the Radio Shack in Lewiston, Idaho). The nice thing is, I think it shoots as good – or better – video than my little Canon Z-800 mini DV camcorder. Although neither are up to current video blogger standards, I think that with a little effort I could make the Flip my main vlogging device. If I could only figure out a decent way to keep from wiggling so much, that is. I hope to come up with a solution there soon.

A couple quick notes here:
1) When using a green screen, make sure you have PLENTY of EVEN lighting on your subject.
2) If you’re using a cheap little Canon ZR800 to tape your green screen epic, make sure it’s in 4×3 mode, not “widescreen”. Your subject will look all squished.
3) Try to have something interesting and compelling to talk about.

I can honestly say I failed miserably on those three points here. I hope to do much better on my next cinematic effort.

Apps in this year’s bundle are:
iSale ($39.95 makes your eBay sale pages look professional and appealing)
Picturesque ($34.95 a light-weight photo manipulation app with some kewl tricks)
SousChef ($30 an interface to a sort of “social cooking” network)
World of Goo ($20 very fun little physics/construction game)
PhoneView ($19 view your iPhone/Touch notes & data on your desktop)
LittleSnapper ($39 nice little screen capture utility)
Acorn ($49.95 another fairly light-weight photo manipulation app)
Kinemac ($299 awesome 3-D animation program)
WireTap Studio ($69 powerhouse audio recording/organizing app)
BoinxTV ($199 hardcore video editing/organization app)
The Hit List ($49.95 simple GTD “Get Things Done” application)
Espresso ($80 amazing CSS/XHTML/Javascript text editor)

The total value, if you bought each app seperately, would cost you a little over $930. In addition, 25% of your $39 goes to charity. You can choose which charity you’d like your chunk to go to from Macheist’s list, or by default they will divy it up between all the charities.

There is a catch to the “12 apps for just $39″ though; Macheist says you’ll get these 12 apps for your $39 — and you do — but until they raise $400,000 for charity, the last three apps on the list will remain locked (i.e. you can download them, but you don’t get a serial number to unlock them). At this time, those apps are BoinxTV, The Hit List and Espresso. Macheist has currently sold 28,501 bundles which raised $264,993 for charity. Actually, that’s pretty awesome. I checked the box to send my 25% to the AIDS Research Alliance, but other charities they support include Action Against Hunger, the Prevent Cancer Fund and The Nature Conservancy, to name a few.

So, with only 9 days left, I hope Macheist reaches its goal. Yes, because of the charitable intrinsic goodness they’re doing for the world, but also so I can get serial numbers for BoinxTV, The Hit List and Espresso. I hope you’ll do your part to make sure I do. Thank you, that is all.

I’m looking forward to getting back into the point-and-shoot photography thing again. And as added bonus for a wanna-be video-blogger, this Coolpix L18 also does 640×480 video w/sound. Could be an interesting alternative to camcorder video. I’m looking forward to trying it out.

Okay, that’s all for now. Check back in in a week or two to view some of my stunning photography. I’m no Andy Melton, but I try.

So forgive me. From this day on, I will aspire to produce intelligent, riveting, thought provoking content that will leave my viewers mesmerized and crying for more. I hope.

In the meantime, you might as well view this piece of shit (you notice I didn’t say “enjoy”?). In it you can view my thoughts on my new Elgato Eye TV 250 Plus, my thoughts on Another Gay Movie and Naked Boys Singing DVD’s, my plea for you to vote this November, and finally, a beautiful PSA from the one and only Andy Melton.

Next time, if there is a next time, I won’t be so boring. Promise.

CORRECTION: I’m an idiot — I mentioned in this video that Palouse Pride, in Moscow, ID, is on August 11th. THAT IS WRONG. It’s actually on Saturday, August 2nd. For more info on the upcoming Palouse Pride festivities, go to their myspace page. Sorry about the mixup. I’m old.
