Everyone’s favorite video website has just flipped the switch to it’s new Widescreen 16:9 formatting. No longer will videos shot in widescreen be squished to fit inside the old 4:3 video player. In order to take advantage of the extra space in the video player you need to shoot your videos in Widescreen.
I suggest using the NEW Flip Mino HD camcorder which is currently available on Amazon.com for $206.99! The Flip Mino HD is the world’s smallest HD camcorder - and the most affordable. Weighing at only 3.3 ounches you can slip this HD marvel into your pocket and take it out when you are ready to shoot your films. I’ve had the Flip Mino HD camcorder for the past couple of weeks and have enjoyed the clarity of the images that it produces.
So why not, upgrade your Youtube with the Flip Mino HD!
CNN.com is reporting individuals are beginning to convert their gas-powered vehicles into energy saving electric cars.
Horsley, a self-described do-it-yourselfer, simply plugs his truck into an electric wall outlet in his Douglasville, Georgia, garage and charges it overnight, instead of buying gasoline refined from mostly imported oil.
“If I can keep a dollar from going overseas, I’ll spend two dollars,” he said. The whole conversion, including the truck, cost him about $12,000, which parts dealers say is about standard.
Another Atlanta-area tinkerer, David Kennington, converted his Honda Civic del Sol from gasoline to electric for a different reason: “I’m a raging greenie,” he said.
Both Horsley and Kennington are fed up. They’re among a growing number of Americans who are refusing to wait for big-car manufacturers to deliver mainstream electric vehicles, called EVs. Not only have they rebelled against the status quo by ripping out their gas-guzzling engines and replacing them with zero-emission electric motors, they say just about anyone can do it.

The article is accompanied by a “Going Electric” guide of the basics to which parts need to be swapped in order turn your gas guzzler into an electronic marvel.
