Live Event Video Streaming – a Hot Trend

Tuesday | Filed in: green living

This first concert festival to really popularize the live streaming of full live sets was the Coachella Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Ca. This annual April concert event features dozens of bands and while the live streaming started with just a few smaller bands being featured the festival has recently started to webcast full sets by headliners like Morrissey, The Killers and The Cure. Because the economy has caused many people to skip the $200-plus festival, the webcasting is a great way for fans to see their favorite bands without spending any of their much needed cash. One of the coolest festivals to recently embrace the trend of live event video streaming is the Chicago based Pitchfork Festival. This recent 2009 festival introduced full live coverage through their new Pitchfork. tv feature. Unlike in previous years, the video was clean and crisp and didn?t suffer from any loading problems before or during the streaming. The Flaming Lips, The National and more were not only featured live during the performance but is archived for viewing after festival. The Bonnaroo Festival, which takes place on a typically rainy weekend in June on a piece of Tennessee farmland, features a large list of a-list artists. Typically leaning towards ?jam-bands? as well as the newest alternative talent, Bonnaroo was one of the first festivals to fully embrace live event video streaming. While big bands were at first fairly gun-shy about allowing festivals to broadcast their sets free over the web, this year?s web stream featured such huge artists as Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band as well as a reunited Phish webcasting their performances. Furthermore, Bonnaroo was the first festival to sign a contract to broadcast a few select performances to music television station FUSE for a broadcast later in the month. Lollapalooza, the grand daddy of summer touring festivals and now a yearly occurrence in Chicago, featured brand new live streaming technology during this year?s festival which led to some of the clearest, fasting streaming ever for an event of its type. The festival also pulled out the big guns showcasing several of their headlining on their webcast. It will be interesting to see where this ever improving technology will go for future live festivals. With more festivals embracing live webcasting (festivals are doing record business even with the free webcasting) fans are now getting opportunities to see their favorite bands from the comfort of their own computer anywhere in the world.

The Rising Trend of Green Living

Monday | Filed in: green living

Green living is an attempt to carry out our life in an environmentally friendly and responsible manner
and practices the conservation of resources,recycling, sustainability, green building, alternative energy and other environmental topics. It is also an attempt to minimize the size of our ecological footprints.
All across the globe, green living is now on the rise. In many cities across the world, recycling has taken off and in some cases it has become part of people’s lifestyle. It is also a necessity to many cultures that have limited resources and do not have the funds to buy new items constantly.
In recent years, many eco-friendly cleaning and pesticide products have been developed for use in the home. Instead of chemical-based aerosols, more natural ingredients are used in the cleaning agents and bug-killing aerosols. These are better for you and the environment.
Organic gardening is also gaining popularity. By eliminating the harsh chemicals that are released into the air and soil, they make all living things and the environment healthier.
Many green living enthusiasts have taken to walking and riding bicycles to help save the air from the toxic emission of vehicles. Carpool is also one other way to reduce the traffic. In this way, they help the air become more breathable again.
By using more biodegradable products that can be easily recycled we can help to keep the landfills from growing out of hand with all the trash that we throw out which would not break down or will just contaminate the environment.
Many have turned to cutting down on energy costs by using less energy in their homes. This is much better for the environment. Most energy saving tips is inexpensive and easy for anyone to follow.
Water usage is coming down over the last decade. As more people are aware of global warming, more people will try to save the water supply by using less water in their daily activities.
Some people are even choosing to repair the broken appliances instead of sending them off to the landfill. This not only helps the environment, but also saves people a lot of money in some cases. If it can be easily repaired, why not avoid throwing a perfectly good item away?
The bottom line is – more people are starting to care about the planet. By doing everything they can, the earth will continue to be a wonderful place to live for future generations that will inhabit it.
