Download streaming videos from Youtube etc. in your browser.

Photobucket

I didn't post for a loooong time, so let me make it up by making review of super handy app for most of you. I guess almost everyone ever wanted to download his favorite video from youtube, sure you could do it before, there were many tools making it possible, but most of them lack in the quality and even did not work properly. Today I want to introduce you java application which does exactly this, downloading streaming video from you browser to your harddrive, meet KeepVid. KeepVid lets you insert a URL link to a download bar, lets you pick up your file format of your download and, and that's it. One thing to be aware. KeepVid is java application so before it starts downloading it will ask you to "run" the application. Just click "run", I did it and it worked :) One more thing. It's not working only for youtube, but vimeo, myspace videos and others too!

Beauty of Math!

I found this here. I really like the symmetry.

The Superstring Theory - is it science or sci-fi?

Everybody probably heard of genius from 20th century Albert Einstein and his famous theory of relativity. Some may know the quantum physics theory and maybe other theories describing the universe, physics and the world around us. If not, let me introduce you the most popular theory which tries to reach the theory of theories: "unified theory" - that is theory which explains everything around us (forces, matter, universe, black wholes, gravity...). THE SUPERSTRING THEORY.

Of course I am not physicist who could explain everything clearly without mistakes, but there are some useful sources online. CHECK IT OUT, it's super interesting.

You can start with WIKIPEDIA - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superstring_theory

Then go to offcial superstring theory web page - http://superstringtheory.com/index.html

Now watch this 20:00 mins video of Brian Green (one of superstring theorists). It can give you overall insight into the theory.


BBC documentary The "Elegant Universe". [11 PARTS] explains a lot about string theory and how the string theory become "M - Theory" in popular way.

Another documentary about string theory is this one hosted by physicist Michio Kaku. [4 PARTS]

The fun is that there is not only superstring theory physicists around the globe are working with.There is theory called Loop Quantum Gravity theory. Read about it on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_quantum_gravity or watch this lecture by Carlo Rovelli from CERN. [3 Parts]

myVST is great site for free VST's!

Myvst555

The best virtual instruments are usually expensive and to have them all means to pay a lot of money. Thank god there are also some musicians (most of the time talented developers) who make virtual effects or instruments for other musicians and they give them away for free (they ask for donations, they deserve). myVST is site with loads of video previews of these VST's with download links also, believe it or not many of them are even better then the ones you would have to pay for. If you are looking for some free VST synth, effect etc. you can find it here. Of course this site is nothing like KVR, but it can still give you the best out of FREE VST's!

Best Online Draw Tool

Photobucket

 

I was looking for free online draw tool and I found Queeky. It's based on Adobe Flash 10 technology and it seems working much better then other apps build in Java. I was surprised how big artists community is around Queeky. This web is full of great features for example you can share your drawings, ok, that's not so great feature, but you can collaborate with other artists on drawings together via. "MultiDraw", that's better, and Queeky  automatically records your drawings so you can playback all your moves once you are done and please don't let me say that you can actually used their widget to embed your drawing with the playback option to your site. Finally, that's a great feature. CHECK IT!
