Since I recently finished the video project I was working on, I’m now trying to figure out what to do next.

These days just about anyone can be the producer / director of their own movie. Not only that, but more and more people do exactly that. Someone gets a new camcorder, some video editing software and an idea. Next thing you know they’re producing their own video masterpiece.

While Blaze Media Pro isn’t freeware, It’s wide range of capabilities easily make up for it. Whether you just want to rip your CD’s so you can have the music on your iPod or flash drive or you’d like to convert existing audio files to another format. Perhaps you’ve got a collection of your musical creations that you want to burn to CD, This media suite has the goods.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time searching around to find a useful program to record video screen captures and save them to an .AVI movie that I can edit or use in something else. Along the way I’ve found, downloaded and tried a bunch of utilities that promise to do what I want.

The Secret History of Star Wars is an interesting site I just ran into where you can download a 524 page ebook that goes into a lot of detail covering the inside stories of all things Star Wars. It doesn’t stay strictly with the official LucasFilm version of things, instead [...]
