You know, I’ve known about base jumping for years, but I’d always thought the aim was to get away from the face of the building/cliff asap.

Had to post this video, I absolutely love it and the remix.

Around 9 years ago I was looking for a new mail host to move me away from the fairly basic, ISP supplied, one that I was using (I think it was an oceanfree account?). Plenty of people I knew had hopped onto the Hotmail bandwagon as it was claimed to be faster, offer more storage and have a greater community via MSN Messenger. So I signed up and, compared to my last account, this one was a breath of fresh air. The storage space was amazing for the time, a whole 10MB’s, and the interface was pretty good.

I have a few posts as drafts at the moment, but I won’t get them out today so I thought I’d post what I’ve been finding interesting on stumbleupon for the last while, remember to stumble the pages you like

Recently I read the news that VHS is finally dead (for most I’d say its been dead for years now). My mother still uses her VHS recorder for recording TV shows, and watching our old home videos. I’ve been trying to get them to move over to a DVR for recording as their current VHS/cable TV setup is more complicated than its worth (i.e. they can’t change the channel when the VHS is recording) Their main reason for keeping the VHS recorder is our home videos, which they will watch through every now and again to reminisce. We where watching one the other day from ’93 and I couldn’t help but realise the quality is slowly degrading, it also made me realise that if this tape where to fail or get destroyed in a house fire or something that these memories would be gone forever. I decided at that moment that I would begin backing up these memories to HDD, where I could burn them onto DVD’s for my parents and back them up as many times as I want for my own peace of mind.
