I ♥ How to Type

I really do ♥ How to Type.net.

How to Type is a great reference on how to type symbols, accents, special characters, and weird punctuation.

How to type Heart ♥

On Windows:

Hold down the ALT key and type 3 on the keypad

On Mac OS:

Hold down the Command and Option keys while you press T. This will display the Character Palette. Choose the symbol and click the Insert button.

In HTML:
♥ or ♥

Sultans of Swing Cover

I've seen some unusual instruments used in covers, but never before have I seen a Gayageum, a traditional Korean zither-like string instrument. Check out more from Luna Lee on her YouTube channel for more covers.

You'd have to admit, she's got Seoul.

From the site:

How To Play:
Think about a movie
Answer about 30 questions
Filmillion will guess the movie.

While you're there, read the About Game section where it explains how the website came into being, based upon an actual machine that was put into a cinema but was not a commercial success.

I had been looking for the movie The Genius Club (see post directly below this one) and tried it with the site. I actually stumped it...but the movie was "unknown" to them (and unknown to millions of theater goers, too, apparently). I then tried Dr. Strangelove and it guessed it within 30 questions!

What Is My Movie?

Whatismymovie.com

From the site:

Describe a movie

Use your own words, or search with titles, actors, directors, genres etc. We find movies for you to watch.

Search tips

Describe any aspect of the movie content you are looking for, and we will find the best movies for you.
Search for example:
find all Harry Potter movies
find me James Bond movies with Sean Connery
show me parody films scifi movie about space battles and laser guns
eastwood protecting the president
romantic scifi movie comedy in hawaii
ridley scott columbus expedition

OR
Search by typing exact movie quotes using quotations marks:
"may the force be with you"

Best way to find actors is to use full name with quotation marks.

I stumbled across this site while trying to think of the movie The Genius Club (which I had reviewed a few yrs. back, but since I couldn't remember the title, couldn't find it using the Blogger search feature). I plugged in "Geniuses hostages printer ink" and the name popped up right away!

The Bookstore at Night

Hobart KA7E Self-Cleaning Rotisserie

If I were rich and had a huge house and kitchen, I'd want one of these.  Shoot, I'd even cook up just a couple of chickens in it (or ribs,etc.) because of the self-cleaning feature.

My Bing Birthday

My sister sent me a card and an Amazon gift card and some of my Facebook friends wished me a Happy Birthday...but only after my sis posted a birthday message. (I don't have my birthday listed) I've also received birthday wishes from various newsletters and a few coupons in the mail from companies such as American Spirit and Black & Mild.  I'm pretty sure tobacco companies aren't concerned about me having MORE birthdays, y'know?

I opened up Bing early this a.m. to finish up this month's searches to get points for my regular $5 Amazon Gift Card, a great prize for reading and searching online, something I'd do for free anyway, and I saw this, pretty cool:

I clicked the "Make a Wish" link and got this:

I hope my wish comes true because I wished I'd win the lottery. I DID win $8 on last night's Powerball drawing, but I'm hopin' for a little more.

A few tens of millions more, actually.

Magnets and Marbles!

One of the best 4 minutes and 4 seconds I've ever spent watching a video! Absolutely mesmerizing.

Music from Film

Music from Film helps you identify music from movies and TV shows by explaining what was on screen when the songs were playing.

There are plenty of websites on the internet listing the songs that feature in TV shows and movies. But if there's a choice of many you still won't know which is the one you want.

You could try asking on message boards, searching the lyrics on Google, listening to loads of songs on iTunes, etc, but that's time consuming and often unsuccessful.

We present the songs alongside the scene information so that you can quickly identify the track you're looking for.

Whoosh Bottle

Do a search for these on YouTube and you'll find several more, but I thought this was the coolest looking one. 

DISCLAIMER:  DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

Actually, go ahead if you want, I was just covering my ass.  If you DO try it at home, please record it and post it to YouTube, esp. if it blows up.

For some detailed instructions, view this video: Extreme Whoosh Bottle Trio

I'm thinking that if you're thinking of doing this, you might want to watch it to find out the proper and safest procedure.

Moon Phase Widget

From a great website: Midnight Kite. They also have nice selection of star charts in PDF available for download.

BallDroppings

Cool application - draw some lines so the balls dropped can bounce off them, turn up your sound and waste some time in a fun fashion. It helps if you draw some "boundary lines" so the balls don't bounce off the screen. Adjust the ball drop rate and gravity to change how the balls react.
