FLV, or Flash video files, are everywhere these days. Sometimes people will download an FLV file and want to extract the audio from it, as an MP3 or WAV file for instance. All you need to do this is a brilliant tiny little free piece of software.

Most people usually only need an image editor to do simple tasks, such as resizing an image, cropping images, adding text to their image and so on. You don't actually need any software installed to do this - you can just use a free online image editor website!

The Internation Space Station (ISS) can be tracked real-time on google maps!

Codecs can get in the way quite often when we're working with various formats of video files, but here is a method which can be used to open mp4 files using Virtualdub.

This is something I've been meaning to do for a while, and it turns out its pretty simple to use CSS to style your search box to look however you'd like.

Here's how to do it.

If you're like me, you'll have hundreds of gigabytes of harddrive storage, and about 100mb of actual free space.

Where on earth do all those gigs go?

Just some of the crimes against humanity perpetrated by George W Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and the rest of the Bush crime family. I hope they face the war crimes charges they so richly deserve.

Sooner or later this goddamn lunatic Dick Cheney needs to get locked up for his crimes against humanity. I hope it's sooner rather than later. I'm not a religious man, but I'm certain that if there is any sort of soul or afterlife, he is going to a deep dark place when his time is up.

I highly recommend you all watch the 2007 Oscar winning gritty documentary Taxi to the Dark Side.

An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an innocent taxi driver in Afghanistan who was tortured and killed in 2002

Very moving, informative and well thought out piece of documentary film making.

Surely everybody who has spent time browsing the internet now knows about the giant user-created photograph collection, Flickr. It is the largest collection of images around, and despite all the tags and geo-tagging etc which make finding images you want to see easier, there can never be too many methods to help with this.

This brings me to the Multicolr Search Lab website, which lets you search Flickr by color!

You can select anything from a single color, right up to 10 colors, and it will use that to bring back a grid of Flickr thumbnails of all the photos which match. Very cool.
