make money from parked domains
I have a lot of parked domains that i have accumulated over the years, as i'm sure a lot of people do. Its been on my mind lately how i can monetize them, or at least get them to pay their own registration fees each year! To that end, i have had a bit of a search around and came up with a couple of useful reults.
First off, over at business and life there is a list of useful links for making some money out of your domain names, so have a look at that.
Secondly, i found this a very handy php script that you can install on your parked domain in seconds, and have your own parked, monetized domain running in a couple of minutes tops - and they look so much better than the usual parked page.

rip streaming video
A few weeks ago i watched a music video on youtube...went back to watch it again yesterday, only to discover its been taken down by the copyright police :( which got me to thinking...sometimes it would be handy to be able to download the video when i found it, to avoid such crap...same thing happens all the time with movie trailers as well.
Anyway, i found vidgrabbr.com which has proved jolly useful! Real nice clean design, the easiest thing ever to use :)
All you do is paste in the url of the page the video you want is on (you can do youtube, dailymotion, and a few others as well), hit go and the video is ripped out of the page and downloaded to your PC right there and then.
Do bear in mind that most video is .flv, so it won't play in media player or much else - so you'll need a converter of some sort. I downloaded a copy of youtube robot from vidgrabbr, which i find great - you can download video from the software itself, and convert to a variety of filetypes suitable for pc or mobile devices such as your ipod or mobile phone! Marvellous :)
Have a look for yourself, the software can be downloaded straight way in trial mode and used for 30 days free! the site itself can be used for ever, for free :)

cool urban art photo site
Using feeds from flickr, urbanart.be aims to build an ongoing collection of peoples photo's of graffiti and other arty images from the urban scenery. Nice, and an easy way to keep up to date and see a lot of images if you appreciate the subject!
