Dispelling the Rumors of My Death

Though I’ve been missing in action these past weeks, I’m definitely not dead. In fact I’ve been hard at work the whole time, though admittedly some of it (okay, most of it) has been less than enjoyable. However, I’ve gotten a lot done, a large portion of it will be appearing here in the next month and Clive has done an outstanding job at keeping the site updated. Go Team Fury!

I’ve just finished uploading all of our awesome fishing videos to Vimeo. It’s yet another online video sharing site with a few nuances that will make the average video producer extremely happy. I will still continue to upload our videos to YouTube, but only because it’s so popular and will expose more people to our videos. Vimeo on the other hand is a much smaller site, and offers a greater range of features in my opinion.

First, Vimeo videos are much higher quality, and after uploading a few videos I noticed that Vimeo did not squash and distort our wide screen videos. That alone was reason enough for me to upload the rest of our videos, but there’s more… Vimeo also offers a full download of the original source video (the video I uploaded), and they’re already ahead of the game offering a high definition video channel. Here’s to hoping I can get my hands on an HD camera for 2008!

They’ve even got cool widgets, like the one below, you can embed on your site.

* Note: It seems the Little Vermilion video I uploaded is still being processed and may not play through this widget.

Fish Oil is Good For You

Very good for you. UCLA researchers have discovered that fish oil may be the secret to preventing Alzheimer’s disease, a disease that affects over five million people in the United States alone. Scientists demonstrated that the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, found in fish oil, increases the production of LR11, a protein that is found at reduced levels in Alzheimer’s patients. UCLA researchers tested the effects of DHA by adding it directly to human and animal neurons grown in the laboratory.

Fatty acids such as DHA are considered essential fatty acids, because the body cannot make them from other sources and must obtain them through diet. Years of research have shown that DHA is the most abundant essential fatty acid in the brain
