The Strangest Secret In The World

Interesting video, I’ve heard some of this before but there were some interesting analogies in it.

“The opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice, it is conformity.”  – Rollo May

  • Why do you get up to work in the morning? If you don’t know, it is conformity.
  • Think about a ship leaving its harbor. It has a defined goal of where it is going. Does your ship know where it is headed or are you “out to sea”.
  • We become what we think.

From Service Dog To SURFice Dog

In life it is important to remember we need to focus on who we are and not who are aren’t.  We should focus on what our passion is so we can flourish and not be something different than what our heart tells us to be.  Whether it is kids, dogs, or people in general, I think that is very important.

Ubuntu: Convert Video Using FFmpeg

I needed to create a .FLV file in Ubuntu from a .MOV for the Jungle Jim’s video and learned about FFmpeg which allows you to use the command line to convert files.  Open terminal and copy/paste one of the following commands below.  Replace the original and final file names and press the enter key.  Depending on the size of your video it could take several minutes for the video to encode.

Convert a FLV file to a MPG
ffmpeg -i original_file.flv new_file.mpg

Convert a MPG file to a FLV
ffmpeg -i original_file.flv new_file.mpg

Make a MP3 from a MPG
ffmpeg -i input.mpg -vn output.mp3

Convert a WAV file to a MP3
ffmpeg -i son_original_file.avi -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192 -f mp3 new_file.mp3

Extract Sound from a Video and Make it a MP3
ffmpeg -i source_video_here.avi -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192 -f mp3 soundHere.mp3
