Babelgum Is A New Favorite

You need to download the player, but it is worth it. Remarkable footage that has never been seen or hasn’t been seen in years.

Podcasting Fun!

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

My podcast/videocast has been going for quite some time, and it has always been a lot of fun. RoyaltyNow! has been a great way to connect with my readers, and it all started as a “frequently asked questions” video. I hope to improve it more and more even now.

As my wedding approaches, I have been adding more items to my gift registry. I discovered a podcasting set that can be purchased through the store Bed, Bath, and Beyond. It looked great, so I added it to the registry a few weeks ago. I am glad I did, because it is a good price, and I think it’s time to upgrade.  The need for better video has been made painfully apparent looking back at my Royal Collection video’s quality. More recently, my “Voki” avatar made me aware of the equally heinous audio that I contend with on a weekly basis.

The podcasting set is one of those fun things you get to add to your registry after you select all of your absolutely sensible items. :)

Reviewing official British royal websites

Monday, July 14th, 2008

Marilyn of ‘Marilyn’s Royal Blog’ reviews the official websites for the British monarchy, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and Prince Michael of Kent.

Which website is your favorite? I like the layout of Prince Michael’s website. Very clean and easy to navigate. I do like the update made to the Prince of Wales’ website. Remember when it used to be dark green? I do. I loved that colo(u)r. Other than that, the new look is great and its accessibility is wonderful. Prince Charles is always very willing to discuss his views and beliefs. You always know where you stand with him, which I like.

Has anyone seen Princess Michael’s website? The wife of HRH Prince Michael, she is notorious for her public gaffes, much like the Duke of Edinburgh but without the humor. Still, she’s a right royal character that can’t be passed by. The Princess’ website of course highlights her literary works, the most recent one being “The Serpent and the Moon“.

Meebo Hiccup

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Sorry if I did not appear today for the chat. Meebo, which signs me in to Yahoo and AOL at the same time, was giving me problems. However, I want to thank everyone who came to chat yesterday and I hope we can resume our live discussions on Monday (June 30th).
