Red Bull Soapbox Race
2008-09-07 19:39:00
Believe it or not, I was there in all that rain. I couldn't get best of footage due to the rain and crowds, but what I have will give you some idea of the whole excitement of the race.Chris and I had such a great time being part of the excitement and we were fortunate enough to know someone who lives right there for a fabulous after- party. Great times! http://feeds.feedburner.com/MyP-hiladelphia

2008-08-26 15:37:00
I haven't been this excited to post something in a while. I'm sure you've seen the Red Bull commercials with the crazy people and their silly looking creations racing or flying off a cliff. Click on the title to check out the details. I will be there if anyone would like to join me.http://feeds.feedburner.com/-MyPhiladelphia
Soapbox: Does Ledger?s Joker Deserve an Oscar?
2008-08-14 14:30:00
Also most people who have been part of these discussions forget we haven't even gotten to the Oscar movie season yet. If anyone remembers Road to Perdition it got screwed out of many awards because A. It was based on a graphic novel and B. It was released in the Summer. Most Oscar voters suffer from severe alzeimers, so forgive them if they forget every movie released prior to September.
Italian Ferrari Club Races Soapbox Cars

By John Coyle Editor While these cars wear the Prancing Horse badge, the lack of engines?along with the lack of engineering expertise from Maranello?mean they aren't real Ferraris. But the soapboxes created by members of the Scuderia Ferrari Club of...
Sessler?s Soapbox: Grand Theft Logic

Having heard the NPR debate between Jack Thompson and Adam Sessler over GTA IV, it's necessary to really see Sessler end the GTA debate with a well spoken soapbox rant.

Soapbox Review #2
2008-04-06 02:01:00
So it wasn’t just a bad dream, Ricky and Bianca are back on Eastenders, and I am sure it won’t be long before I hear the annoying cry of “RICKAAAAY” on the square again. I guess Patsy Palmer and Sid Owen needed the work, as thier careers didn’t seem to go anywhere after leaving the ...
My Big-Long Political Involvement Soapbox
2008-03-31 22:24:00
I spent this past Saturday in delegation for the Republican party for the 2008 elections. Hearing the local and state representatives as they discussed what is at stake this year for America was quite a sobering experience. My previously jaded views (brought about by the mistrust I have of government based on un-kept promises and the unabashed leftist agenda of the media) have all but vanished. I suddenly realized, sitting in that high-school auditorium with over 500 other conservative voters, that I could either complain and whine about the future while I did nothing to change it... or I could stop talking and start doing something about it. This is probably the most political post you'll ever see on this blog. I am a realist and understand that people aren't perfect and politics are a necessary process, but I am usually one to favor discussion that doesn't divide. I don't like division and long for that heavenly destination where all men truly can come together as equals in a ...
What category do you put a ?soapbox? blog under?
2008-03-13 21:35:00
Although there are loads of categories that you can list a blog under, “soapbox” isn’t one of them. That’s a shame really as many blogs would sit very neatly under that particular category. After all, there are a great many bloggers who would have been standing on their soap box in earlier times. It’s not just ...
Fatality in Illegal Soapbox Race
2008-03-12 00:00:00

Launching a new blog? is there a category for ?soapbox??
2008-03-10 20:51:00
Launching a new blog is a peculiar thing to do in many ways. This blog for instance has been running for a little over four years now. From before that time I’ve had a domain sitting around which I basically just used for e-mail so I thought that I’d use it as something of a soapbox for ...
Soapbox Car.
2008-01-10 18:43:00
Soapbox Car.An official Soap Box Derby racer from 1967.A soapbox car (also variously known as a soapbox cart, and especially in Australia, billy cart) is a motorless vehicle capable of holding a driver (usually a child) built for the purpose of racing or recreation. Propelled by gravity, soapbox cars can reach upwards of 50 km/h (30 miles per hour). Originally, soapbox cars were built from orange crates and rollerskate wheels, but have grown more sophisticated over time, with materials like aluminum and fiberglass being utilized.The Catterline Cartie Challenge is a competition for homemade soapbox carts held annually in Catterline, near Stonehaven, Scotland. It is part of the Catterline Gala Weekend and is held annually on the second Sunday in June.It was first held in 2005, when 11 soapbox carts (or "carties", as they are known locally) were entered. The number of entries has grown in subsequent years, and in 2007 there were 21 carties taking part.5 month 5 days untill the Catter...
Queens of the Direct Mail Soapbox!
2007-11-27 18:06:00
Long Live Direct Mail! Say it loud -- say it proud! Really. Guess what? Even though we have a plethora of direct marketing tools in our picnic basket -- and a lot of them are way cool, way sexy -- direct mail is still the most effective way to get your message out. Yep, there's been a new survey conducted about this very topic. A recent article in DM News by Dean Rieck states that:A recent survey by International Communications Research concluded that people prefer receiving things by direct mail. Seventy-three percent of respondents said they prefer receiving new product announcements by mail, versus 18% for e-mail. And, a whopping 86% said they prefer direct mail for official correspondence, such as bills, bank statements and financial reports, compared to 10% for e-mail. For those of us who have long lauded the benefits of highly-targeted, intelligent direct mail, this is music to our ears. Further, Rieck goes on to say that, "fewer people trash unsolicited direct mail w...
How to fall off your editorial soapbox
2007-11-25 11:51:00
There is occasionally a danger in moralising.From the Daily Mail: The Mail accepts that countless people working for the state are dedicated and conscientious. But the fact remains that too many are feather-bedded and infused with a clock-watching, careless culture...From the Daily Mail: In an article of 6 November 2007 about Tom Sykes, a freelance journalist, we mistakenly included a photograph of Tom Sykes a digital TV consultant and his family. We wish to make it clear that the latter is not a recovering alcoholic or drug addict, and apologise for the error...If you’re a fan of such stuff, by the way, then check out the excellent Regret The Error run by Craig Silverman. It’s hilarious, disturbing and human - all too human.
How Can I View Outlook Stationery In Gmail?
2007-11-18 01:12:00
You can’t. Outlook (and several other email clients) enable you to include stationery or background images in your email message to dress up the look of your email messages. Currently, Gmail does not render these images as expected. Read on for some of my thoughts about stationery…. First off, I need to step up on my ...
Countrywide Saga or Soapbox - it's a disgraceful debacle!

Watch Out for Your Re-fi's at Countrywide Re-Fi-er Beware My Wall Street guru’s as I so loving like to call them, because they just tell it like it is and don’t hide the “dirty laundry” always seem to shed a little more insight into the every day back room workings of Countrywide.

MSN Video V4 Launched with new Soapbox features
2007-09-22 05:23:00
Here on the Windows Experience Blog, I use Soapbox on MSN Video to embed and share all my videos for my blog posts. Tonight, the Soapbox and MSN Video Team has launched MSN Video V4 with new features to Soapbox worth taking note of: Enhanced Copyright violation. Soapbox users will now be explicated told one of their videos has been flagged for copyright violation versus previously the video would simply not show up without any sort of message. Improved encoding time. This is a HUGE plus for me because it lets me get videos uploaded faster when writing a blog post. Previously, it took quite a bit of time to get a video completely uploaded to be embedded into a blog post. New Mini-Showcase. The Mini-Showcase is a new area on the landing page where the video team editors can show you what's hot on the site. I'm hoping to get one of my videos flagged for the Mini-Showcase sometime in the next few months. There are a few more notable changes to take into account. When going to soa...
Real Estate Commissions: Step onto the Soapbox
2007-08-16 22:14:00
The headline for an article on the Broker Agent News e-newsletter caught my eye today: The Potential Effects on the DOJ v. NAR Lawsuit on the REALTOR. Only after digging into the article did I discover the headline was the highlight. And the footnote clarified all. Says the article … In back offices of major real estate ...
on a soapbox with my high horse
2007-06-27 23:49:00
it's not in my nature to be political nor is it my inclination to write about such topics. frankly, it bores me. i'd rather watch paint dry than worry about what the suits are bickering over like primary school kids on the playground.but the more i hear about this story, the more it riles me up.john howard has launched his crusade to rescue all the poor disadvantaged indigenous kids, away from the clutches of poverty and insidiousness of abuse and neglect. biff, pow, go li'l johnny! it's an admirable cause, don't get me wrong, but i find the whole timing more than a little questionable. and why? well, because this has been an issue long before our famed prime minister had even sat for his first day in office and one that has become increasingly worse during the last three terms that he's served. it's a national disgrace.john gives peter another serve after a seriousfalling out over who gets to be on topso, why all of a sudden bring attention to something that's been long ove...
Ralph's Soapbox
2007-06-20 08:15:00
By Bob Lee   Ride Date: June 15, 2007 Newport, WA to Sandpoint, ID - 36 milesClick picture to see Google Earth views of today's ride.  Use the esc key to pause; Refresh to resume (F5 key for Windows; cmd+R for Mac).Today was a relatively easy ride along the banks of the Pend Oreille River.  It was a pretty road with many photo ops. Unfortunately, clouds were overhead most of the day, with a treat of rain.  Fortunately, it only sprinkled on me. Yesterday I had a wonderful call from Ralph Russo and I spent the afternoon thinking about Ralph.  Instead of starting this blog with pictures of beautiful scenery, I want to share a couple of pictures of two beautiful people.  I have learned it is not where we live or what we own that brings us joy and wealthy; it is who we might get to know in this short time span we call life. The above two pictures were taken shortly before I started the RIDE at a fundraising dinner for the Les Turner ALS Foundatio...
dp's. soapbox.
2007-05-02 20:49:00
One of my daily stops: The UniWatch Blog, by Paul Lukas (have I ever mentioned that I once asked Paul to adopt me? He laughed. But, he didn't say no?)Today's topic: New WNBA uniforms.I'm liking the Mystics unis, with inspiration from the old Bullets design, but most of the others are a little too flowery for my taste. I am a fan of the women's cut though. (This goes back to my whole theory of women's specific clothing - I don't need my bike jerseys to have butterflies on them, I just want the men's version but cut for women - is that too much to ask for?) As most of you know, I'm quite the sports fan and obviously a big proponent for anything elevating women's issues. So it really drives me nuts when people knock on the WNBA as a subpar, butch, unpopular, worthless, etc. sports league. There has been some great discussion today on the boards, and a good part of it pro-female (and excellent responses to those who are not). Here's some of the h...

MSN Soapbox and MSN Videos get a sexy upgrade.
2007-04-28 16:15:00
The soapbox team has announced that they are relaunching the new soapbox on MSN Video site. As you guys might recall it left closed beta a few months ago and since then has been in public beta for everyone with a passport account. Whats interesting is they say they have completely reworked the system from the ground up, and it offers an even cleaner UI and improved navigation and performance. Some of the things they say have been upgraded are... Scalable Page. Change the size of your browser and the thumbnails and page will scale dynamically. New Player with integrated Playlists and Progessive Download Indicators. Playlist Functionality. Each time you watch a video it is automatically added to the playlist. The Playlists can also be shared. Improved Fullscreen Experience. Video Gallery Sorts.

Soapbox Public Beta
2007-02-21 22:11:04
Em tempos falei do serviço de alojamento e partilha de videos disponibilizado pela Microsoft, o Soapbox, que apenas estava aberto a quem obtivesse um convite para o serviço. Hoje temos a informação de que o Soapbox passou à fase publica, ainda beta. Sendo assim, já é possível ver videos e usar a maioria das ferramentas sem ser necessário convite ou registo no site. Apesar do YouTube ser o rei e senhor no que toca a videos online, este serviço da Microsoft tem um ponto a seu favor, um aspecto gráfico muito superior ao seu concorrente.

SoapBox il Video portale Microsoft.
2007-02-19 17:20:03
Video: Lo Svarione degli anelli Microsoft è entrata nel mondo del video online con un suo prodotto chiamato SoapBox, che è entrato in questi giorni in fase beta. Io l’ho provato nei primi giorni di vita, qualche mese fa, e ad oggi l’impressione è rimasta inalterata: è un servizio che non porta nessuna vera innovazione. Microsoft sembra desiderosa anche in questo caso di costruire una propria piattaforma, aperta sul web, ma i cui servizi integrati siano dedicati ai soli utenti MSN. Un intefaccia per l’XBOX sembra inevitabile. Ancora irrisolti, anche in questo caso, i problemi riguardanti i materiali sotto copyright (il video in testa a questo post ne è un esempio).

Soapbox Jury
2006-12-18 00:13:00
My renter this week is Soapbox Jury. It's a blog review site and unlike most of the others I've seen, it's mainly positive. I like that. A lot. It seems like our culture is based on negativity and it's refreshing to find someone who swims against the current, so to speak. There are some interesting blogs that have been reviewed on this site and I encourage everyone to go and poke around on it. I'm sure you'll find something that you like. Now, here are the others who bid to be my renter this week:Forever 17She also bid on my other blog I Will Not Eat The Darkness and I kidded a bit about her being 17. I'm assuming she's 17, hence the title of her blog. But, seriously, there's nothing bad about being 17 at all and y'all should seriously go check out her blog.Scooter McGavin's 9th GreenScooter has been my renter before and he's just great. He's a veritable corucopeoia (sp?) of information. I think I'll start calling him Scootercyclopedia. :D
SoapBox, el YouTube de Microsoft
2006-09-12 16:21:06
Prueba del enorme éxito que está teniendo YouTube es la cantidad de clones que le están saliendo de un tiempo a esta parte. El último de ellos es SoapBox, un proyecto que ha puesto en marcha Microsoft y que todo hace indicar que verá la luz a lo largo de las próximas semanas. Las características más destacas que incluirá serán las siguientes: Permitirá subir vídeos de hasta 100 MB en una gran variedad de formatosSe usarán las etiquetas para organizar la informaciónIncluirá soporte para RSSSe integrará con otros servicios de Microsoft como Windows Live SpacesLos vídeos se podrán incluir en otras websSoapBox se encuentra en una fase de pruebas interna y por el momento la única información que ha filtrado Microsoft es ésta. Así pues, poco se sabe del modelo de negocio que seguirá la empresa norteamericana para rentabilizar un servicio con unos gastos intrínsecos tan elevados.
