I have a terrific Tuesday set up for you guys today. As I posted yesterday, my coworker, Sean, loaned me that 4 CD set of the great composers which I ripped to my hard drive using Windows Media Player. WMP does a great job at ripping but otherwise is mostly ponderous to use. The real problem I have with it is that it records everything as a WMA. Now when I want to use a piece of music in conjunction with Picasa3 which is a Google product and in competition with Darth Gates and the Evil Empire. As such, it only recognizes music tracks that are MP3's. To solve this little conundrum with out pissing off either Darth Gates or the Google Guys I turned to Format Factory to covert the WMA files to MP3 and voila I have soundtrack material for Picasa3 and for any portable media player I may choose to acquire. Format Factory is easy to use, just select the files to be converted, choose a destination folder, the hit start and FF converts them effortlessly with very little drain on your computational resources. I tell you all this to say once I converted the files to MP3, I got creative with Picasa3 and made a new video for today's post. As I usually do Sexy Studs In Swimwear on Tuesday, I thought I would modify the theme somewhat and feature a whole bevy of beautiful men captured as they frolic at the beach, by the pool, washing their cars, in the shower or locker room, or simply taking a bath. All this set to the first piece of classical music I ever fell in love with. The soundtrack is the 1812 Festival Overture by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. This is Tchaikovsky as you have never seen him... Thus I combined in one fell swoop the musical and visual arts for your general edification. Because of the length of the Overture, I had to upload it to Vimeo instead of You Tube, you can find more of my videos that I have posted there by going to my homepage. I think you will like the results of my efforts and please let me know you like or dislike it by comment or email. Thank you once again for choosing to spend part of your day at Nichevo. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
