How to Read Blogs
Posted by Andrew
This is my response to Nate’s post How to use blogs over at The Way That You Wander.
Reading blogs is the 21st century answer to traditional books and textbooks.
There is just so much helpful information out there, that if you consistently read the right blogs on a daily basis, you can learn a ton of different things without much invested effort.
That is real value right there.
BUT! (There’s always a catch, isn’t there?) 
But, like Nate said, it is very easy to suffer from information overload. The same wealth of information that allows you to easily learn about a diverse series of topics can just as easily overwhelm you and prevent you from implementing what you’ve learned.
Three cool, free programs

“No! Not another list of stuff stolen from LifeHack and Download.com!”
Yes, I’m afraid so. 
I’ll try to keep it entertaining and maybe include some lesser known apps as well, okay? (Seeing as how I love free software so much, this might just become a regular item, who knows?)
How to cut a video using Avidemux
Posted by Andrew
Sorry for the missing post last night, it was my girlfriend’s birthday AND I had a presentation due today.
I spent the better part of last night, (after spending time with my girlfriend of course) working on editing an mp4 movie in Avidemux.
I figured that my experience with it would be a great topic for a post, since I spent a good amount of time trying to get it to do what I wanted.
First of all, you can download the program here.
This is just a basic tutorial on how to cut a video. (In other words, this is exactly what I was trying to figure out >_>)
