Youtube Teaching Journalism

Post By : Damien Benoit

Over the weekend, YouTube launched a new channel dubbed Reporters’ Center, which it hopes will prove to be a good way to educate existing and aspiring citizen journalists on how to report news in ‘the digital age’. The new resource will feature a host of top journalists and media experts sharing instructional videos with tips and advice for better reporting.

So far, there are 34 videos uploaded to the channel, featuring people like Facebook Marketing Director Randi Zuckerberg providing 8 tips on how to maximize distribution of your YouTube video on the social network her brother famously co-created, and folks like CBS News’ Katie Couric and legendary Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward explaining how to conduct a good interview and how to be an investigative reporter, respectively.

The idea is sound and some of the content is rather good, and I’m sure it will provide a helpful resource for citizen reporters across the globe. Of course, it serves YouTube’s interests as well when more and more people take up the habit of filming whatever happens in their neighborhood and upload the videos to the wildly popular sharing site afterwards.

If you have any tips to share, you can also upload your own videos to the channel.

The Best & The Worst (Love)

Post By : Damien Benoit

I finally realized a blinded loved, and im so ready to choose.
But I made so many mistakes with her that she is too confused.
She found another guy that she might find to be better.
And I dont really care cause I will push my everything to get her.

Its the hardest thing to do, to beg and push and plead.
To show her that what she always thought wrong.
Is it’s her I really need.

But seeing her lose all caring makes me want to break.
But im willing to lose my life, try to get her, see how much pain I can take.
I hear im pushing way too hard but thought she was ready to hold me.
But my pushing looks to her that push her towards being over me.

Im at the point that I dont know what to do right are wrong.
But I cant stop trying and dedicate my life, no matter at all how long.
My best friend cant give advice cause she is also the ONE.
My best friend, one  I love so much, it hurts to know shes done.

I love you Charity and sorry for, all the wrong I ever cause
I hope that you could learn to I can/will correct my flaws
Your all I want your all I need I want my family with YOU.
But everything i’ve tried so far pushed love further from you.

I cant control I cant make magic but one thing I can do.
Is spend everyday until your taken, I’ll prove I really love you.

40+ for your iPhone 3.0

Post By : Damien Benoit

Here is a good list and a bunch of images of alot of the new things you can do now if you upgraded to the iphone 3.0 OS. Its actually pretty nice, but trust me, I save the best for last
1. Forward or Delete Individual Messages

This feature allows you to manually select individual messages from a text message conversation, and forward them directly to another person via text message.
You can also selectively delete individual messages.
Forward_message2 Forward_message3 Forward_message1

How it works:

  • Open a text message conversation.
  • Tap edit on the top right of the screen.
  • Check off the messages that interest you.
  • Tap forward and select a recipient.
  • OR tap delete to selectively get rid of messages.

2. Email up to 5 photos at a time

The previous iPhone operating systems did not allow you to send more than one picture at a time as an email attachment. You can now send up to 5 at once.
Emailphotos1 Emailphotos2 Emailphotos3
How it works:
  • Go to photos
  • Tap the arrow on the bottom left
  • Select the photos you want to share
  • Press share
  • Send the email with the automatically attached photos


3. Shake to undo and redo typing

No matter what application you are using, you can undo typing by shaking your iPhone. If you want your text back, simply shake again.
If you had something else written before you started writing the sentence you chose to undo, it reverts back to that. If this was the first thing you wrote, it simply erases it.

337 Studios Mixtape – Frankie’s Fun Park

Post By : Damien Benoit

I started getting back into playing with making mixtapes using Virtual DJ. Its been a while since I used it and it got alot better lately. So since I stream a live show all the time alot of the viewers asked if I would just start recording some of the stuff that I mix together. I will really get more into it soon and have a few mixtapes done before my album is finished anyway and I love doing the live mixing.

I will be creating some stingers not to mention starting to learn more of this because of a new podcast that I cant speak much on yet becuase nothing is for sure until we start doing it. But overall, I finally got a few things down and for Frankie8909 in the chat room on the show, I give this to her, her very own first mixtape for the new 337 Studios mixtapes. Enjoy this one. Its called 337 Studios Mixtape – Frankies Fun Park.|

So before hand, I would really love to have you guys come to our show and watch us live and if interested in learning or even getting your own mixtape done, we are here to have a good time. Its simple to know when the show is like, just text “follow 337studios” to 404-04 on your cell phone or if you already have a twitter account then follw @337Studios and keep up with when we are on are. Dont miss all the fun we have, and atleast watch the reruns!

Youtube/Google is the Boss of you

Post By : Damien Benoit

Just wanted to let everyone know that the reason you cant see any of my videos on youtube is because they decided that they are god and can control us all. Take heed everyone, I did nothing wrong and did not violate any terms of their service yet they still took my account down and removed every video I have. I ask that anyone think twice before using their services again. Upload your videos to vimeo, a higher quality video company that treats their users with respect and makes sure they save all content just incase accidents happen.

*UPDATE* Trying to get anywhere with Youtube/Google is just like trying to fly off a building and succeed. I ended up having to create a new Youtube account so could all of you please follow me and add me as a friend there? Subscribe to my Youtube account, please, thanks!

Artist/Album Review: Eminem – Relapse

Post By : Damien Benoit

artist_album_review

Eminem – Relapse

Name: Eminem (more info)
Album: Relapse (more info)
Style: Hip Hop

quick_description After being gone for like 5 years and not releasing much but a song here and there or a mixtape, everyone wondered where Eminem has been. Well he came back with a new album that describes the full reason why he has been gone! He has been addicted to lord knows what (arent we all) and had to take time away because of these issues. He even talks about loosing his faith in creating music and inspiration leaving him. But finally after a long wait, here comes the new album.

my_reviewI want to start by saying that I truley love Eminem and his talent. He put out so many great songs with so many great stories behind them. He has also created alot of good music that is just funny and entertaining all around. I wont say that this album isn’t but I have to say that its a huge let down after being so long since the last album release. He does alot of talking about his prior drug addictions and issues he has had in the past that caused him to be gone for a while. There are a few songs that I would listen to over and over but after hearing this album none stop for a week, I am almost ready to put another one in or honestly go back to listening to Asher Roth. Dont get me wrong, he has alot of clever things to say but its just not the same vibe 100%. Plus I sware his look shows that yes he sure did have a drug problem or just decided to get plastic surgery. Im not gonna call that but I will say though I give it so little stars, its only because its long term value isn’t there. The album keeps me singing alot of the hooks and makes me want to memorize alot of his verses but I can already tell im not gonna spend that much more time with it so it just didn’t make it up there. I almost gave it 3 stars, dont hate me please!

Stars: 2/5
