Video?

Just thought I'd try posting a video here, maybe start posting "Where's Scott" episodes here as well as on Facebook.

I know that posting video here is possible, my concern is how much all the pictures and potential videos will affect the space for my Gmail use. I think I'm up over 25% used already which isn't a whole lot yet but if I keep going and keep posting pictures and videos, will I cap my gmail use and end up having to pay for it?

WWE!

A few of the guys and I got to go to a live WWE event at the Blaisdell center last night. It's always a good show when they come to town but this time...we got FRONT ROW seats!

Some highlights of the show:

Evan Bourne pinned Ted DiBiase, 2 members of Nexus beat the Hart Dynasty, The Miz beat Mark Henry, Randy Orton beating Sheamus by a DQ, a six- Diva tag match with Eve Torres and the Bella tiwns beating Jillian Hall, Alicia Fox and Maryse, Chris Jericho beating Yoshi Tatsu with the Codebreaker and John Cena making Wade Barrett tap out to the STF after Randy Orton rushed in to get rid of a Nexus member who came down to interfere in the match.

Cena came by after and shook hands, accepted a lei from a kid, commented on Lance's hat (!) and gave a wrist band to some kid behind us.


A lot of the photos were blurry or washed out in one way or the other. As good as camera on my phone is (it's decent), I think I may have to get a real P&S camera at some point...it will just add another thing to carry on my belt though. Probably a good one that does video as well.

Anyway, I hope they come again next year.

Movies!

Man, I gotta start keeping up with this thing if I wanna make the one year thing. It's already half way through the month and this is my first "real" post.

CBG night at the movies this past Saturday night was a showing of the new action movie the Expendables. A lot of big name action stars showed up in the movie and while there was close to no real story line, it was a kind of fun, summer movie. The action scenes were fun and it was a blast to see so many big names on the screen at once.

There was a great scene with Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzennegger, something that you kind of thought about seeing back when you were a kid...Family Guy actually joked about a movie with Stallone and Schwarzennegger a while back.

I wanna check out Scott Pilgrim next. While on the subject of movies, I 'rented' my first movie on my phone yesterday. The Joneses was an interesting movie, one that I'm glad I rented and got a chance to watch. A story about a new family that moves into a new neighborhood. They seem like a nice typical family with everything you could want but you soon realize that they are all sales people posing as a family to get people to buy products they carry and use. They always seem to have the newest thing.

The bigger thing for me though, was the fact that I felt like watching a movie and used the blockbuster app on my HTC HD2 to browse through a selection of movies, choose it and hit the rent button and watch it.

It took about 12 minutes to download the movie before I could hit play but the quality was good and the fact that it was there pretty much when I wanted it was even better. I haven't tried renting or buying a movie on my PS3 or the "on demand" service Oceanic Cable offers but if I wanted to watch it on a bigger screen or with more people, the option is there. The HTC HD2's screen is actually pretty large and it wasn't a pain to watch it there.

I think I'll try the next movie I rent from the iTunes store directly to my iPod touch. The iPod touch's screen isn't as large as the HD2's but it's acceptable plus, I think the selection there might be larger (at least for the older movies).
