New Tech Confusion video about Flip camcorders now on my YouTube Channel

I have recently uploaded another installment of my Tech Confusion series of videos entitled "Tech Confusion: Trying to copy videos from a Flip camcorder to a hard drive without using a PC" to my YouTube channel, NATHANROADINWA.

This is me explaining if and how it is possible to copy video on a Flip Camcorder directly to a hard drive or device with a built-in hard drive if you do not have access to a PC when the Flip camcorder's built-in memory becomes full of videos.

Let me know what you think about this video and look for the other videos I have made on my NATHANROADINWA channel.

And please rate and comment on this video whether you like it or not. It helps to get good honest feedback so I can determine if these videos are helpful!

My Analysis of TV Guide's Fall 2011 TV Scorecard video now uploaded to YouTube

I have recently uploaded a video entitled "Analysis of TV Guide's Fall 2011 TV Scorecard" on my YouTube channel, NATHANROADINWA.

This is my opinion of the TV Guide's Fall 2011 TV Scorecard which is on the TV Guide website.

I did make a few mistakes in the video. At the time, I thought Mr. Sunshine was doing better than Cougar Town, the show it was replacing. But it looks as if Mr. Sunshine is going down in the ratings recently and may not be back even though I mentioned it will probably be back in the video.

I also mentioned in the video that I believed Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior will be back next season, but it has suffered a significant drop in its second week. But I think it will still come back as long as the show doesn't drop a whole lot more in the ratings.

Note: TV Guide did NOT include some shows on the list such as Supernanny, Cops, America's Most Wanted, Shark Tank, America's Funniest Videos, and Million Dollar Money Drop, so I didn't mention them either if they were not listed on the TV Guide Scorecard webpage.

New video review uploaded and 2 of my videos hit milestones

Just want to let people following this blog know that I have uploaded another video review to my YouTube page recently. It is a video review of the Innovative Technology Digital Keychain Model Number ITKC-100SLV. It was given to me recently as a gift and displays small pictures that are stored on your PC after copying the pictures from the PC to the Digital Keychain.

Feel free to comment and rate my videos as good feedback will help me determine what parts of my videos are OK and which parts need a little improvement.

Now I also want to briefly mention that in the rather short time since my total views of the NATHANROADINWA channel hit 10,000 views, I have had my top 2 viewed videos hit milestones. My top viewed video, "Tech Confusion: Trying to Enable Wi-Fi on the WDTV Live Plus from Western Digital", became my first video to reach 3,000 views. My second most viewed video on my YouTube Channel, entitled "Tech Confusion: Finding a composite cable with TV output compatible with the Archos 32 Tablet", has become the second video to reach 1,000 views now.

NATHANROADINWA YouTube Channel videos hit 10,000 views milestone!

I wanted to let people familiar with this blog and my YouTube channel know that the NATHANROADINWA channel that I started last Summer on YouTube has reached a major milestone. The view total of my videos has surpassed 10,000 views!

Now that is very small when compared next to a single hit YouTube video that gets 3 Million views in just a few days, but those kind of hit videos are ones that have mass appeal. My videos are niche videos so they do not appeal to the majority of people worldwide. So for my videos to get a combined total of 10,000 in under 12 months is exciting to me.

As long as people continue to watch my videos, I plan on making new ones when I get the chance to make them. And if you have any questions on the technical videos, don't be afraid to ask. I will try to do my best to answer them as soon as I can.

Two new Archos 32 Tech Confusion Videos now uploaded on YouTube

I have recently uploaded the second season premiere of my Tech Confusion series to my YouTube NATHANROADINWA channel. It is called "Tech Confusion: Using USB devices on an Archos 32 Tablet with a USB Host Cable." I also uploaded a second Tech Confusion video entitled "Tech Confusion: Restoring AppsLib on an Archos 32 Tablet using WI-FI."

The first video is me showing how to enable different USB devices on the Archos 32 Internet tablet using one of those hard-to-find USB host cables. The second video is me showing how to reinstall AppsLib on an Archos 32 Internet Tablet after accidentally uninstalling AppsLib.

I want to point out that while these videos were made specifically for the Archos 32, they may be helpful to users of other Archos Gen8 models too which includes the Archos 28, Archos 43, Archos 70, and Archos 101 Tablets.

I also want to point out that I created a new intro segment for this season of my Tech Confusion videos.

Let me know what you think about these videos and look for the other videos I have made on my NATHANROADINWA channel.

And please rate these videos whether you like them or not. It helps to get good honest feedback so I can determine if these videos are helpful!

Why are some of my videos outdated?

I haven't posted on here in several days again. So I thought I would write about why some of my videos on my YouTube channel seem outdated.

1. Technology changes quickly sometimes. For example, after uploading my Western Digital Hard Drive review on YouTube, the same store I purchased it at which happened to be Best Buy, put the same hard drive on clearance and now sells the same hard drive supporting the new USB 3.0 as well as the common USB 2.0.

2. Some retailers such as Fred Meyer will seem to stop selling a product I review making it seem like the product is discontinued, and then they will put the item back on the shelf a few weeks later.

3. I try to record my videos with minimal background noise and better lighting conditions. But since I am in Washington State where it is cloudy almost everyday (or it seems like it anyways), I have to rely on indoor light bulbs that are not very bright, so I usually wind up waiting until there is silence and a lot of daylight which rarely happens these days.

and finally

4. It takes a while to do the editing and add the special effects to the videos.

So those are the main reasons why my videos may seem outdated sometimes. I will continue to try my best to get these videos out as soon as I can.

Will NBC show Biggest Loser redeem itself tonight?

Tonight, Biggest Loser is on before or after The State of The Union Address depending whether you are on the East or West Coast. Thankfully it will be only one hour long tonight. Why do I use the word thankfully?

The show this season has lost a lot of credibility. First it was the Unknown Trainers gimmick they did where they purposely tried to conceal the identity of the show's 2 new trainers this season. After a week since they finally revealed them, they are completely forgettable to me. I honestly can't even remember their first names as revealed on last week's episode.

But the weigh-in last week was really bad. The team made up of the two older male twins both gained 9 pounds each that week. Then they had the nerve to act like they didn't know anything about it. I have watched almost the entire run of this series and I have NEVER seen people GAIN that much weight on the show. It was so obvious these guys (who ironically are both police officers!) were throwing the weigh-in that week. No explanation was offered last week why the twin officers team threw it.

So I am hoping for a confession from the remaining guy who wasn't voted out during tonight's episode that they did indeed throw the weigh-in last week. So hopefully it will happen tonight.

But then something bad happened this morning during the Today Show. The eliminated twin came on and acted like they didn't know what caused the huge weight gain. Well Matt Lauer obviously doesn't watch The Biggest Loser, or he would have grilled him like a credible news reporter should have.

I would really appreciate before this season is over, that these 2 cops confess that they threw that weigh-in because they are sending bad messages to other people trying to lose weight. And as trusted public officials, they are also making kids think that it is OK to fib sometimes.
