Surprising Passenger on a Motorcycle!

Better Video Calls with faceVision!!!

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of faceVsion Technology USA. All opinions are 100% mine.

My country of residence is different from that of my parents and sister. The fastest way to be in touch with them was via telephone until the internet explosion happened. Now I can talk to them, face to face through video chat over the internet. Applications such as Skype, Yahoo messenger, google talk, etc have broken the image barrier and brought families together. But sometimes video chat via Skype can be quite frustrating with grainy images and garbled voice. I have tried and tested several different video cams available in the market, several of them even promise HD quality images but they fail when it comes to delivery. These cameras are good no doubt but when it comes to working over the internet they somehow don't provide the desired quality.

I recently came across a new series of video cams that promise to improve the video chatting experience over the internet. I am pretty sure that faceVsion will make the image quality lot better which will enable us to get as real a picture of the person we are talkign to. The main drawback in video chat with other video cams I have experienced is the low picture quality. This is often frustrating because I long to see the faces of my loved ones and the gadgets don't support me. Now with FV touchcam N1 I am quite confident that this will be a thing of past. This new technology offers a chance to make true HD quality Skype video calls. Another scenario where I can think of using this technology is when I am talking to my long distance business associates. They will feel a lot better when they see my face, when voice alone can't convey the entire message.

This technological gadget FV touchcam N1 is the first internet streaming true HD webcam specially built for Skype video calls. The gadget has other applications such as an application known as
faceVision on line store where users can shop using the camera.

Now is the best time to get your dream gadget and talk to your family, friends, clients and associates using HD quality video technology. Subscribe to the FV ExpressCombo and derive the benefits.

Bicycle tricks and stunts

When I started training for the MS-150 bicycle ride last month, I added another facet to the training. To learn some cool and wacky bike tricks while training. How do I learn them? If it was old days when Internet wasn't there, I'd have to depend on TV and memory and a lot of trail and error. But now with Youtube there are thousands of self-styled experts teaching how to do stunts on a bicycle and a host of other things.

I liked these two stunts very much and tried practicing them during my training. Of course I haven't succeeded in mastering the tricks yet... but I hope to get there some day and when I do get there I will surely post some nice videos. And till then you could enjoy watching these guys.

Inspirations for the MS-150 Bike ride

Since I registered for the Sam's club MS-150 bike ride I have been training on bicycling trails in the area and also looking up information, videos, pictures and articles about MS and the past rides. I found this video presentation of 2007 MS-150 bike ride and thought I'd share it with all of you.

Inspiring Feel Good Video

One of my close friends forwarded a link to this video. When I watched it for the first time I couldn't quite understand. So I watched it again and this time I paid more attention on the voice... then I understood the message. This is basically a feel good video meant to inspire viewers/ listeners. Heavy on text and voice with very little video element, this presentation has been crafted such that the message is rendered in a very persuasive manner. Thought I'd share it with my blog readers and elicit their comments.

Karnataka - A video presentation

I was going through some pictures of my travels in Karnataka and thought it would be a great idea to share them all on youtube in the form of a video presentation. Here is the result....

Boney-M: Desi Style

Boney M is a name which is quite popular among people who like 1970s genre of pop and disco music. I would say I grew up listening to ABBA and Boney M during my early childhood in my uncle's home.

Yesterday one of our friends gave me a CD containing hit songs rendered by Boney-M, one of the most successful pop and disco band of the 1970s. We were listening to the audio in her car stereo and hence I thought it was an audio CD. But, when I came home and poped the CD into the computer I was in for a surprise. Apart from the audio of about 12 Boney M hits, the CD also contained a short 5 minute video of a stage performance by Boney Menon and party rendering these very hits. While the audio has not been tampered with, the video looks refreshingly different. Take a look and I am quite sure you will agree with me.



Boney M was put together by West German record producer Frank Farian. The vivacious group of pop and disco musicians shot to fame during the late 1970s and continue to hold sway over pop music afficionados. Their highest fan following was in Africa, South East Asia, Iran and former Soviet Union (Russia).

But I remember my childhood as I would listen to "Daddy Cool", "Rasputin" and other Boney M songs and would feel thrilled. I still love Boney M but the desi twist to the original audio is simply too good.

My videos

Since I didn't have much to blog or write about... as I have been mostly stuck at home in half-gloomy weather.. I thought I'd post some of my youtube videos on my blog. And this is what they are... mostly amateur stuff... some stunts I tried out at home....

A composition of pictures of my travel pictures. More like a slide show with some background music score and some bad titling.



This is a video of a short motorcycle tour in Tumkur district we can see Gopi on the Yamaha. The video was actually shot in a small digital camera by Dev who was sitting pillion on Anand's enfield.
