Techie Stuff, Random Thoughts & Other Things


What a difference a week makes. I have learned so much this week as you can see from the look of the blog. If you check out the side bars you will notice not only the addition of some sponsors but also a couple of slide shows that I created with pictures from Uncle Gerry's Archives. These were created with software from FilmLoop.com which is available free at their website. The software allows you to subscribe to loops in their network as well as create your own with images from your computer. There are various display options, the one I use most is the full size strip. I have my browser sized to reveal the loop running across the top of my monitor so that I can surf the net and do write my posts while still being entertained with good looking guys. I highly recommend this software for its ease of use as well as its pure entertainment value. I have about 40 or so loops created and I will rotate them so that you will be able to check out my archived images after reading my posts.

Another site that I visit every day is Webshots.com where there are thousands of professional and amateur images available for download. They have both free and premium memberships available and the software for displaying them is free to download. The great thing about their software is when you download the images, it automatically creates albums which can be utilized as a screen saver by clicking the option button and choosing the parameters that you want. You can also use individual images as wallpaper simply by selecting the photo in the album view mode and clicking the set wallpaper button. The free membership allows you to download 5 professional images per 24 hour period with unlimited amateur image downloads. The premium membership at $35/year is a pretty good bargain which allows you unlimited image downloads (pro and amateur) as well as the option to download entire album pages with one click as well as high resolution downloads. Don't let the amateur tag fool you, there are several professional photographers, Kenny Herrera comes to mind, that have uploaded thousands of images that you can download for free. Just do a search on Men and you will be amazed at what you will find. I highly recommend this software for its ease of use as I use it every day.


In other news, I was reading over at Gay and Proud when I noticed that he had added Nichevo to his blogroll, my first link back. Thank you very much, it is great to know that someone out there is reading my blog and adding a link to Nichevo on their blog. Now if I could get you guys to leave me some comments after you read my posts.......


I want you guys to continue to stopping by on a regular basis and let me now what you think. I am experiencing a great deal of accomplishment in learning how to improve my skills on a daily basis. Your tips and suggestions are welcome here. Leave a comment or email me at the address in my profile.



One other thing to entertain you guys is the funny little videos by two guys from England named Chris and Jake who call their production company Syncsta. Their videos are really funny and fairly well made. I saw the first video on another blog that I can't seem to find, so I went searching through You Tube and was really frustrated because I could not find them when I ran across the video I posted yesterday which I could not resist. However, today I found them and so I am posting a couple of their videos below. The second video is really hilarious and while these guys claim they are not gay, I would not swear to it from watching their videos. Until next time, enjoy!

Those kids on the videos are fast becoming celebrities on the gay blog circuit. Just remember - they're 16 and straight...
