Funniest Videos on the Internet - March Edition

This month there are some new funny videos you should check out this month.  Let's get going on the guided tour through some of the funniest videos on the Internet you should check out this month.

Frozen Grand Central


On a cold Saturday in New York City, the world’s largest train station came to a sudden halt. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station.

 

Evolution of Dance - Optimus Prime Edition

A few years ago, the evolution of dance was the funniest video on the Internet.  In fact even today it is the most viewed video ever.  Watching Optimus Prime perform the dance moves was hilarious.

Cat Striptease

Here is a cat that is thinking she is Demi More.  Great video, well done with the music.  A really funny video, you will want to forward it around to your cat lover friends.

The Internet

A great video done by Molly Meme on the Internet.  Makes you laugh because it's so true.  Although not necessarily one of the funniest videos on the Internet, it is a great video and parody on how the Internet works, and how people access it.

Star Wars According to a 3 year old

Kids do say the craziest things.  This three year old has a very interesting perspective on Star Wars.  It will definitely put a smile on your face

More Funny Videos on the Internet

We hope you enjoyed the March edition of the funniest videos on the Internet.  If you haven't seen the funniest videos on the Internet of all time, make sure you check them out!

Vista Microphone Issues Resolved

About a year and a bit ago I had a issues with Vista and my Microphones.  I do a lot of stuff with the Microphone and my computer, and this was a huge issue!  Why on earth could I not get the microphone to work In Vista! Within Vista, there was no way to get the microphone audio to play through the speakers.  It always seemed muted.  How could I un-mute the microphone?

Luckily within a few days of posting the Vista Microphone issue, hundreds of people started posting their solutions to the problem.  The main issue was that the Microphone Line Monitor in the sound control panel was nowhere to be seen.  Therefore, by default as Vista mutes the line, there was no way to turn it on.

If your soundcard uses the Sigmatel Audio Codec, you are in huge luck as there is a simple way to enable the Microphone on vista with a simple registry hack.

Simply go to your start menu and type in regedit and hit enter to get into the Vista Windows Registry

Vista Micrphone Issue

Next you are going to want to find the following folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\Settings\filter\SpeakerHp\

Then you're going to find the key: EnableIntSpkrMute

Vista Micrphone Issue - Regedit

Change this key from 01, to 00.

Microphone issue in Vista

Reboot Vista, and you are ready to go!  Next time you go into your sound control panel, you will have the ability to un-mute, and change your microphone levels in Vista!

Vista Micrphone Issue Resolved 

Hope this helps everyone out there with what I have found to be the most annoying issue in Vista out there.  Who knows what made them decided to lock out the Microphone from 90% of the people out there, but at least now you can resolve the issue pretty easily!

Of course if you don't want to go into the registry to fix your Vista Microphone issue, simply download this Reg file, and run it on your machine, then reboot.  Simple.  Enjoy your microphone!

The Alkaline Diet

Wpgkyokubanner Well I must admit, when Christmas came this year, I fell off the rocker when it came to following my Acid Alkaline Diet.  At first, everything seemed fine... but gradually, I started to feel week again.  I had a lot of trouble waking up in the morning, and was back to drinking over 3+ cups of coffee a day just to stay awake and keep moving.  Our company is growing at a ridiculous pace, and renovations where underway, I couldn’t seem to keep up, and get back on the rocker.

I started getting sick more, felt terrible, and once again started having other health issues that had literally vanished once I had switched my diet.  What was I doing to my body!  I was back up to 208 pounds (February 29th, 2009)!

Last week, I had it.  I couldn't do this to my body anymore.  I started once again on my my path to a healthy lifestyle.  I started with a colon cleanse.  I used Dr. Natura's product for this.  It's by far the most impressive product out there.  I changed my eating habits slowly, where I am now once again completely rid of Coffee (Sorry Starbucks) and Pop.  Today was my first day without wheat products, and I went over to Sobey's and picked up some great Organic Rice Pasta which is wheat and glucose free.  I boiled that up and in a separate pan, put some red peppers, onions, garlic, and some natural fresh seasoning I cut up myself (Parsley, Basil, Oregano).

I've also been drinking a TON of water, and taking Noni, Goji, and Mangosteen juice.

My goal is to have my body cleaned out and detoxed by next week, and we shall see how I feel.  I can honestly say that after a week on the path to Alkaline goodness, I am already feeling a million times better, and am excited once again to be living life to it's fullest!

I know there is not a lot of "scientific" research or proof that following an Alkaline Diet will actually be good for you, or that Noni, Goji, or Mangosteen aren't anything more than expensive fruit juices, but here is my question to all the scientists out there.

Why do I feel like a million bucks when I eat organic, fresh food and vegetables, and feel like garbage when I eat lots of pasta, bread, sauces, some vegetables, meat, and take antibiotics to cure my "sickness's".

I don't need "scientific" proof to know what I should be doing.  I hope you don't either.

Dominic Miguel Alexander Carrasco

Dominic Miguel Alexander Carrasco

Hi Everyone!  My name is Dominic Miguel Alexander Carrasco!  I was finally born 6 pounds 7 ounces born 37 weeks on March 5th, 2008 at 5:45pm.

I kicked mom in Prenatal classes and the water went everywhere, it was quit entertaining for me.  I couldn’t wait anymore I wanted to meet everyone!  We had awesome care, and had 3 doctors, 4 nurses, My dad, A Doula (Theresa  Janzen), and  three premature baby team people all over me when I came out (I was born 36 weeks five days, but officially I am 37 because I was so strong, they weren’t worried).  Mommy is doing great, I am feeding like crazy (I’m very hungry!), and dad understands what stress and being tired is now.

We came home on Friday, and let me tell you, it was cold!  But mom and dad did a great job of keeping me warm.  I love all the neat toys, clothes, and things everyone bought me.  My room is full of stuff!

Thanks for all the nice emails and thoughts.  Took me a while (22 hours of labour) , but your thoughts and prayers really helped motivate me!  Thanks to all the doctors and nurses at St. Boniface Hospital as well!  You really did a great job of taking care of me and my mom.

Until I can start my own blog in a few years, this is Dominic saying "You ain' t seen nothing yet!"

Ultimate List of Web 2.0 Music Sites

I love music, and so do most people!  It keeps them moving when times are tough, and it gives you time to relax and sets the mood.  It even lets you grieve when you need to escape and be alone.  These are some of my favourite sites.
