I used to love the Muppet Show as a small child and have to admit that I do still enjoy their antics when watching them in the Muppet movies, so I thought I would bring a little smile to everyones face with two Muppet videos that are from YouTube.

So sit back and enjoy these videos

Now I wouldn’t say that I’m a coffee-holic, OK I am and I love to drink different types of coffee from around the world, but a lot of us who drink coffee may take it just for granted, you know put the kettle on, put the coffee in the cup and add hot water and milk, worth maybe sugar to taste, but do you know the true story of coffee and where it actually original came from.

If like me you haven’t a clue where that lovely tasting beverage came from and when it was first discovered or what varieties there are in the world of coffee and why is it the national drink of the Ethiopian people then I have just the thing for you to see!

The video below will tell you about who discovered coffee and where it comes from and you may be surprised to find out how long coffee has actually been around and why at one time it became more popular than beer! Seriously can you image that.

Coffee has always been popular and nowadays you will find many types of coffee, we all socialise with friends in “coffee houses”, I myself love to meet up with friends when out and about sitting over a lovely hot coffee and spending a few hours catching up etc.

So since coffee was first discovered it’s become so popular, a drink which almost everyone enjoys, I know I do

So there I was browsing through BlogEngage and voting on some interesting article, when I came upon a post with an animation on YouTube titled Pigeon: Impossible, which had me in stitches.

I tried to explain this funny short to a friend of mind and they just didn’t get it, so they asked me if I could put it on my iPod to show them, hmmm, now I wasn’t sure if this was possible, so I searched the net and after several websites claiming they knew how it could be done, but they didn’t seem to work, I found myself on a website with a download of a Free YouTube to iPod Convertor.

Now I did have my doubts on whether this would actually work, but I shouldn’t of!

The program is so easy to use just download it, install it and run it, yes it’s that simple, then all your need to do is copy the URL of the video on YouTube and then add the downloaded and converted video to your iTunes, easy!

The output files are saved in MP4 or 3GP formats into the program’s folder in My Documents, and they retain the name of the source video. They are ready to playback on your iPod, PSP, BlackBerry or mobile phone.

So I’ve tried it and it works, I’ve got the funny video on my iPod and my friend loved it. I probably won’t use this a lot, but it will certainly help on tuition videos that are on YouTube, I mean sometimes it’s just easier to have them on my iPod and watch them when Ive got a bit of spare time and this isn’t always when I’m connected to the net.

Now I can quite honestly say it’s been a while since I used my Google Earth on my PC and I was quite intrigued by version 5 boasting it’s ocean views and having the option to turn back time and check out locations from present day to some years back!

So I’ve given it a bash and wow Google Earth 5 will allow you to fly, or should that be swim!, around the ocean checking out more than you could on previous version of Google Earth.

As with the other version of Google Earth it is a free download so it won’t cost you a penny, unless you want the pro version which will set you back $400 about £280, but the free version is good enough.
