External Drive for Mac and PC?
You go to the DOS Command Prompt and try FORMAT using the FAT32 option. Success! Or so you think, it spends 30 minutes formatting away without any issues and as it gets to 99% it then reports something along the line that the disk size exceeds FAT32 limit.
You search and search the web for an answer, but they all say FAT32 has a 32GB limit and some suggest using FDISK to partition your drive. Finally, after a searching and trying all sorts of utilities I found something that worked!

There has been a lot of tilt shift photos and videos popping up lately, this one has to be my favourite videos right now. If you haven’t heard of tiltshift before, it is a technique of using a special lens on a camera to make real life look like miniature models.

Interested in some different routes, check out the following video on some interesting climbing in Newfoundland Canada. A good introduction to Newfoundland and video of one route called the fifth element.
If you’re looking for a place to stay, check out the Rosedalemanor Bed and Breakfast in Newfoundland.
You know it’s cold when the waves turn to ice as they hit the beach. Watch this video from Newfoundland where the ice piles up onto the beach.
Over the holidays I have stated to play more and more poker with my little nieces and nephews. They have been playing for years and know all the strategies and statistics. So they usually take all my money. In my search for some pocker tips I’ve found these videos that I thought were cool.
I will probably still lose all my money to them, but maybe I’ll be able to impress them with a few parlour tricks in our next game.
This video shows how to flip poker chips from one hand to the other.
This next video is a bit simpler, but almost as cool. This poker chip trick shows you how to shuffle the chips with one hand.
