Today on Oprah she had the winner of the HDTV Dream Home. The $2 million home is in Colorado and is more like a resort than a house. It was beautiful. I thought how great it would be to vacation and stay somewhere like the compared to a hotel or other tourist trap locale.

A Hawaiian vacation is more with my idea of a good time than a Colorado vacation. Hawaii is so beautiful, and it’s nice to know that ecotourism is being promoted. This way guests experience the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. The problem with great vacation spots is that they are usually crawling with hotels, restaurants, and other attractions that take away from the natural setting of a place. The beautiful Hawaiian Islands like Kauai should be enough for a wonderful vacation.

Kauai Ecotourism Vacation Rentals give visitors a chance to view the beauty of this Hawaiian Island in all its natural glory. A nice ocean view and a relaxing day lying on the beach is my idea of a good vacation. I go on vacation to escape the hustle of everyday life, not to run the rat race in another city. Simplicity and beauty of Kauai are all I need to ensure a great vacation.

At Hawaiian Beach Rentals, there is some beautiful locations listed. There are also reviews, rates, and other information that makes planning that Hawaiian vacation just a little easier.

For my 18 month old, the Teletubbies are must see TV. She will watch the whole program and not stray from the television. The only other media that holds her captive is Guitar Hero. I can play any song on Guitar Hero, and she is mesmerized by it. Once the song is over, she’ll even cheer most of the time.

The only problem is that during the Teletubbies I can get stuff done like dishes, laundry..etc. But with Guitar Hero I have to play. Oh, sure i could turn it on and let her have a go, but I’m sure she enjoys it much more when Mommy is playing. Yeah, that’s it. I have to play for her to truly enjoy it.

She is going to be gamer there is no doubt about that. It won’t be long before she’ll be beating me in games.

One of my favorite college assignments was to make a music video. I was a Communication major preparing for a job in the television industry. I had to direct, shoot and edit the video. It was a lot of fun but a lot of work. It’s amazing with today’s technology how simple it would be to complete that assignment today.

Although making amateur music videos is much easier today, the editing software can still be quirky to figure out. I really don’t have a lot of time to tweak my videos with chasing after a toddler all day. I really like software that is simple, fast, and easy. Fliptrack.com may be the solution I have been looking for.

Fliptrack is a music video sharing website. Fliptrack makes it easy for users to share their music videos by providing a free software program that does a lot of the work for them. Once you download the sofware, choose a song from the Fliptrack library. Next browse your computer for photos you want to add. Click and drag those photos to the timeline. Then you can add effects like transitions or text to your photos. Now you are ready to preview your video. You can also add photos later to the music track. Lastly share your video with others by uploading it to Fliptrack.

Here is my video created in all of 15 minutes:

Fliptrack has an easy to use software download that will have you creating music videos in as little as 15 minutes. That’s great for me since about 15 uninterruptable minutes is about all I get these days.

Apparently this Summer will see the release of Guitar Hero II 80’s edition. Guitar Hero III is in the works, so I’m not really sure what all the 80’s edition will entail. This will be the third and final Guitar Hero developed by Harmonix. Guitar Hero III is being developed by Activision.

Here are some 80’s songs I would like to play:

Poison - Talk Dirty to Me ( what screams more than 80’s than big haired rock bands?)
The Romantics — Taking in your sleep (? I think that’s the title)
.38 Special - Hold on Loosely
Van Halen - Hot for Teacher

I’m sure I’ll love the 80’s edition as much as I and II.
