Unboxing an iPod (HD Video from Samsung WB500)

Daniel — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 02:00:35 +0000

Another HD video! Just got the Samsung WB500 for review at Tech65, so I decided to do a test HD video with it. So far, the camera has proven itself to be very powerful, more than I actually know how to take advantage of! Will be testing it out for the next two weeks, so email me at daniel at tech65 dot org if you want me to find out something regarding the camera.

Watch out for it to appear on Gear65!

The closest thing I have to a lightsaber (HD Video)

More videos! This time, I found WiiSaber, this fun application that runs on any mac with a bluetooth, and connects to your Wii Remote, producing lightsaber sounds just like the Lightsaber Unleashed app for the iPhone. I’m still looking for one that makes the sound come out of the remote’s speakers though. If you know one, let me know!

P.S. This is the second HD video I’ve uploaded onto YouTube in 24 hours, and I realised that the HD version isn’t available this time. I’m not sure if it’s because there’s a limit to how much HD videos you can upload, or if it’s still processing the HD version.

Updated: The HD version was still processing after all. Check out the HD version above!

My favourite watch: The Casio DB-E30 (HD Video)

After almost a year, I’m finally wearing my watch again (thanks to a broken strap and too busy to send it for repair), so I decided to make a Gear65-esque video about this cool watch. I know, it’s not as cool as that LG watch phone we talked about on Episode 103 of 65bits, but it’s cool enough for me!

Oh, by the way, the HD version can be found on the youtube page!

Table full of gadgets!

Taking the opportunity to test out some photo tools: Mbedr, an embedded flickr service, and Phlook.com, a local start-up for photo hosting etc. So I took a picture of all the gear I’m using now (they’re not all mine, most of them are review units, office laptop etc…)

My Geek Bag

I wanted to do this ages ago when DK first showed off his geek bag, but I didn’t have a camera. Now that I have my own camera, I’ve decided to test it out by responding to DK’s post, except, in video form!

Presenting Daniel’s Geek bag!

Oh, by the way, I just filmed the video in the TV-SHQ mode, transferred it to my iMac and just uploaded it to YouTube immediately. I thought youtube had that High Quality mode, but nope. So this video doesn’t do the quality justice. It’s really clear on my computer!
