Slickr with Flickr

The ever awesome Cali Lewis talked about Slickr on GeekBrief.tV episode #151. Slickr is a free screen saver software that allows you to stream Flickr images to your computer as a screen saver. You can pick th tags that you want or maybe a Flickr group that you follow. I downloaded it and set it to come up with photos tagged with Photo A Day or Photo-A-Day. The images I got were incredible. This is a very cool free download. I would encourage you to download it and test it out for yourself.

This also made me think, Do I tag my images properly when I upload them? Am I consistent about it? I think that I have not been that great about tags on anything so I will me more conscious of doing so in the future.

Download: iPod video converter

GeekBrief.TV Episode #152 introduced me to something I was lacking but didn’t know where I could find it. An iPod video converting software program that I could use to turn my videos into formats that were usable with my iPod. I can even download videos that I saw on YouTube and convert them to iPod format. I took a bunch of the videos that I had on my laptop and converted them. The process was very easy.

The process of converting the YouTube video however was a bit difficult. I had to do it a couple of times but it finally worked. This is a very cool program and very easy to use, overall. And it is a free download.
