Exploring Stuff That Makes Life Great
Yes I know I said The Pipeline 2.0 was launching tomorrow, but earlier isn’t necessarily a bad thing is it?

Remember that you can now post text, audio, and video comments! You can check some out in the Welcome to The Pipeline show. So go check them out and post your own on any video that you want to!
If you read this blog, you’ve noticed that I’ve talked a lot about The Pipeline update. Yes… it’s coming… Doesn’t this all sound familiar?
Tomorrow, August 30th 2007 the world will be able to use the new player design!
Here’s a list of all the new features:
1. Video, Audio, or Text Comments – For any item in a show, YOU can now record or upload a video or audio comment as well as leave a text comment.
2. Easier item navigation – We know that we have tons of shows (around 50) and that each show has a ton of items for everyone to watch. Navigating through all of this content has been somewhat of a nightmare. With thumbnail navigation and the corresponding item title you won’t have to load each item to figure out what it is!
3. Captions – The captions box displays the Name of each item in your show. As always, the player fades away after a few seconds, but if you prefer, you can always close the caption box while navigating through the items if desired.
4. Full Screen button – View the player in full screen mode.
5. Pause/Play button – Pause actually pauses everything now… even background music. This is a great feature for everyone watching our slide shows.
6. Send button – Email friends and family a link directly to your favorite item or to an entire show.
7. Follow Me – You can now receive email updates to when a show has been updated. By clicking the Info button on bottom right you can access the new “follow me” link.
If you’ve been following this blog you’ve heard me talk about the new The Pipeline design that was supposed to be released a couple of weeks ago. Well it has taken more time, but I’m telling you it’s worth the wait. If you like or dislike the current design, get ready to be happy – very happy with the new design.
How is it possible that a sequel is better than the original, especially when that first film should have never been made? Well we’re back for round 2 and it looks absolutely BRUTAL! I still can’t get over watching this trailer. Why was this not the FIRST film? HUMANS dieing everywhere from aliens with the US Government blowing everyone skyhigh. I’m shocked that this trailer makes the movie appear as if it has a chance of being good!

A couple months ago Microsoft announced Silverlight, some random product to compete with Adobe Flash. Now we’re finally beginning to see Microsoft integrate Silverlight in its websites! The first one that I’ve noticed Silverlight in is for the Halo 3 shorts. To be honest there isn’t anything wrong about this website other than it requires you to use Silverlight. The interface is nice and the video loads instantaneously.
