<p> Worrypad is a website where people help each other feel better by sharing their worries, problems, or dilemmas. Help is provided by having other people cheering you up or giving you supportive advice through the commenting system. </p>
<p>The idea came from one of those list of things to help you reduce stress. One of the items was to write down your worries on a piece of paper.<br />
<strong>The simple act of writing down your worries is an emotionally purging or cathartic ac</strong>t. Suddenly, your worries have found another place to live, on that piece of paper, outside your mind. So I tried and it worked!.<br />
Of course, the problem or source of the worry is not going to disappear magically, but the worry, the obnoxious feeling manufactured by our mind is eliminated or at least diminished.<br />
So with that in mind, I wanted to create an online version of the worry pad but with the additional advantage of letting other people cheer you up by means of a big CheerUp button or by encouraging you through comments.<br />
So there you go, from now on every time something bothers you go to <a href="http://worrypad.com">Worrypad</a> share your worries and start feeling better immediately!</p>
<p>As is happens, reviews from other people capture the essence of the product with better prose than me.<br />
Here is an excerpt of the <a href="http://www.killerstartups.com/Web20/worrypad-com-helping-others-feel-better">review</a> by <a href="http://killerstartups.com">KillerStartups</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Feeling a little blue lately? If that happens to be the (unfortunate) case, you must always remember that one is as sad as he wants to be. There are always ways for feeling better if you want to, and some are quite instant. This site is a case in point. </p>
<p>Entitled Worry Pad, it will empower you to share your woes with everybody and get cheered up. </p>
<p>Using the site is not really that hard at all. You have a box for inputting your worries, problems and dilemmas and then people are given the chance to cheer you by voting your submission up. It is as direct as that. </p></blockquote>

<p>Shotdesk is an online video manager designed to migrate physical tape libraries to the Internet.<br />
Anyone with a tape library, b-roll footage, or even internal digital video library can use Shotdesk to publish and distribute video online.<br />
Shotdesk main feature is that is format agnostic. This means that the system is designed to support video files in their original formats.<br />
So if you have a library with tapes shot all in DVCPRO-HD you can upload the raw files into Shotdesk via FTP and import them into the system.<br />
If you need other formats, such as H.264 or ProRes-422 just upload them and Shotdesk will simply merge the additional formats with any existing video files that match the same file name.</p>
<p>Our first customer, the <a href="http://www.fairmont.com/whistler">Fairmont Chateau Whistler</a> had about 30 GBs of raw DVCPRO-HD footage and they wanted a system to access all their footage online.<br />
Shotdesk was the perfect solution, we took all the footage in a hard drive, compressed it in several formats and uploaded it to our secure servers.<br />
Within a couple of days their entire library was accessible by Internet through an intuitive and searchable interface.<br />
Fairmont&#8217;s Shotdesk account was live just in time for the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. During the Winter Olympics, the Fairmont Chateau Whistler expected quite a bit of world wide media coverage so they wanted to provide easy access to all their b-roll footage to TV networks, bloggers, and their own marketing team.</p>
<p>Before Shotdesk, if anyone wanted raw video from their hotel, they had to call in, someone look for the tape, go through the content to find matching shots, ship the tapes, and hope that the client got the footage they asked for.<br />
Shotdesk eliminated all that effort by allowing clients to search and immediately download the shots they were looking for.</p>
<p>Here is a list of features that make Shotdesk such a compelling product:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Format Agnostic</strong> &#8211; handle video on any format regardless of size or resolution</li>
<li><strong>Bin module</strong> &#8211; create selections and save them into bins via drag-and-drop</li>
<li><strong>Categories and Tags</strong> &#8211; search shots that share same category or tags</li>
<li><strong>Logging module</strong> &#8211; add metadata to shots right from Shotdesk</li>
<li><strong>FTP upload</strong> &#8211; upload multiple large files via FTP into Shotdesk</li>
<li><strong>Smart Video Import</strong> &#8211; upload several formats of the same shot. Shotdesk merges all formats automatically</li>
<li><strong>User module</strong> &#8211; control who access to your Shotdesk video library.</li>
<li><strong>Stats</strong> &#8211; view which shots have been viewed and downloaded the most</li>
</ul>
<p>If you are interested in Shotdesk please let me know (miguel at shotdesk.com) so I can discuss your project&#8217;s specific needs and get your video library online in no time <img src='http://www.bitmain.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here is a slide-show with screenshots from the Shotdesk UI:</p>

<p><a href="http://ibizaah.com">Ibizaah!</a> is a free service that leverages the powerful YouTube Video API to help people DJ at parties.<br />
Ibizaah! has two YouTube video players, a cross fader, and each player has each own playlist.<br />
Videos can be played and new songs searched simultaneously. Users can also add songs from their playlists in YouTube, reorder playlists playback order, and even animate crowds with a fun air raid siren button.<br />
Ibizaah! original purpose was to be used to teach myself and experiment with the YouTube API, jQuery, and Internet marketing. I have submitted Ibizaah! for review to about 50 different blogs and sites and it already has got <a href="http://ibizaah.com/buzz.php" target="_blank">some attention</a>.</p>

<p>Pointkit is an online project collaboration service targeted to contractors, freelancers and small teams. It comes with many features including, task managing, invoicing, and time tracking. I built Pointkit using Pointkit itself to keep on track of all the many web development tasks required to build it.<br />
Pointkit is now in Beta mode at <a href="http://pointkit.com">Pointkit.com</a>. You can sign and test it for free.</p>
<p>Here is a quick 1 min video explaining how it works:</p>
<p><center><br />
<object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K8BW-7TxOS4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K8BW-7TxOS4&#038;hl=en_US&#038;fs=1&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0x3a3a3a&#038;color2=0x999999" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object><br />
</center></p>
<p>Once all the main bugs are eliminated there will be a premium account plan which will cost $19 a month and will include all the options.<br />
I like to keep options simple so PointKit will only have two plans, the free one with limited options, and the paid one with all the options.</p>
