The bootlegs for the two Pearl Jam concerts that I saw in LA were released a few days ago and today I finally got them.
What I find cool about them is the way the look and sound. They concerts were recorded and manufactured by a company called Kufala based in Paso Robles. Their unique eco-friendly chipboard packaging was the first thing I noticed. Their turn around time from purchase to delivery was super fast (less than 48 hours!). No wonder the band selected them to manufacture all the bootlegs of the tour, and If you are a Los Angeles base artists who is looking for a bootleg recording service you should check them out.
Moving on to the sound quality of the bootleg. Although I was pretty surprised from the audio quality of my videos that I captured using the Ultra Flip HD , the bootlegs sound fantastic which makes it a completely different experience.
Now I am starting a long project of mixing my HD video setlists with this audio. I have a little over 50 songs to work on and hopefully Final Cut Express will make this a fun experience. The biggest pain would be syncing audio and video without a clapper. I will probably master video editing techniques once this project will be completed around the end of the year.
Earth hour 2009 is this Saturday, March 28 at 8:30 pm.
To participate, turn off your lights for one hour and help Mother Earth fight climate change.
Earth hour started in Sydney in 2007. More than two million Sydney businesses and households turned off their lights for one hour. This helped to send a powerful global message that it’s possible to take action on climate change. In just one year, Earth hour has reached more than 50 million people in 35 countries across 18 time zones, and the campaign shifted from a Sydney event to a global sustainability movement. In 2009, the goal is to reach one billion people in 1000 cities worldwide.

btw, all year around you could help save energy & reduce your electricity bill using Snap’s CO2Saver. It is a lightweight program that manages your computer’s power usage when it’s idle, saving energy and decreasing the demand on your power utility. Download it here.
Mother Earth will thank you.
I saw this Chevron ad for the “I will use less energy” campaign. Check it out. Doesn’t it sound really good?
Well, to me, despite the cool domain name, the sleek website and the fancy energy saving calculators you can find there, this campaign suffers from a serious advertising credibility issue. After all, just 3 days ago Chevron posted their best ever quarterly earnings…
Today, over 15,000 bloggers around the web participate in the Blog Action Day, and unite to put a single important issue on everyone?s mind – the environment.
I would like to use this day as an opportunity and remind everyone about CO2 Saver. It is a lightweight application that automatically adjusts computer?s power settings when the computer is idle in order to reduce electricity usage (and bills) and by that decrease CO2 omission.
CO2 Saver was released nearly 6 months ago (on April 25th 2007) and since then helped save over 429,000 lbs of emission which equals to nearly 5000 tree seedlings grown for 10 years. Very impressive!
Those of you who have not installed CO2 Saver on their desktop and/or laptop yet should do it by clicking here.

CO2 Saver, a little side project we developed at Snap in order to make the world better and greener has been getting a lot of momentum recently. This morning it hit another milestone.
It was featured on ABC’s Good Morning America by Sam Champion and Zem Joaquin (green editor for House and Garden magazine and author of ecoFabulous.com) as one of the simplest things anyone can do around their work cube/desk in order to save the environment.
In case you have not done it yet, simply install CO2 Saver on your desktop computer and this lightweight application will automatically adjust your computer’s power settings (including hard drive and monitor) in order to save electricity when the computer is idle (I am sure you are familiar with those endless screensavers running forever day and night…what a waste…)
By the way, since it was launched about three months ago, C02 Saver users collectively saved almost 160,000 lbs of CO2 from being released to the atmosphere (use this calculator to convert to more conceptualized terms – trees, cars etc)
