Free Music Just A Click Away

This European company started in 2008 and has grown substantially since.  Finally it has crossed the pond and opened up to the United States in July 2011.  With over 15 million songs in their catalog you are bound to find something you like.  So how does it work?  

1. Create a free account
2. Download the free software, app or both!  
3. Start searching for the music you love and add it to your play list.
4. Customize your lists however you wish.  

Now the music is yours to play whenever, wherever.  There is a pay version that gives you a few more features, but the free version is so worth it!  If you would like an invite, hit me up!

I Heart Legos!!!

Oh the fun you can have with legos!  Making this stop animation video was so super simple!  You don't have to use legos, you can do this with any subject matter. 

1. Take photos of your subject by moving them a little bit at a time.  
2. Upload them to Windows Movie Maker (or any other video editing software)
3. Make each slide one second long. 
4. Add your music and that's it!  Have fun!

Anyone who deals with technology as a profession or hobby needs to check out TED at least once a week.  It's not all geekery and jibberish...it's can be VERY entertaining.  Oh and they have a pretty bad ass iPad app!
