I watch tennis and although it’s not my favorite sport, I really enjoy watching Nadal or Federer playing. They just rock. Of course, my living room TV set is the device of choice when watching these games.

Nevertheless, my PC might replace it as MediaZone (an internet broadcast company) in association with the Wimbledon Championships is offering all of us to watch live and on-demand matches (including up to nine current courts) through their new service Wimbledon LIVE.

How does it work? You get to pick which of the matches you want to watch, and then you can go back and forth between multiple courts. You can even go back review last year’s games and improve your betting chances with your friends. Since (almost) nothing in life is free, this service costs $24.99. But considering the number of features, who cares?

I want to take a minute to talk about a very important issue that can save lives. Drinking while Boating is not only a deadly idea but also illegal. Check out these commercials below.

Boat Sober Commercial:

Boating in Arizona:

Operating a boat while impaired is just as dangerous as and just as illegal as drinking while driving a car. The legal limit for blood alcohol is .08 in both cases. The penalties are similar, too; like driving under the influence, operating a boat under the influence is a Class One misdemeanor. A sober operator should be designated.

However, unlike driving a car, boating safety education is not required to operate a boat in the state of Arizona. But you should take a class, and you can online here: Boating Education Online

Educated boaters are 70 percent less likely to be involved in a boating accident. Classes are offered in Arizona statewide, or can be taken online at www.azgfd.gov/boating. In addition to learning about the effects of alcohol, a boating safety education course covers other need to know boating topics such as carbon monoxide poisoning, life jacket wear, required safety equipment, rules of navigation, and other boating safety laws and responsibilities.

Please remember to Boat Safe, Boat Smart, Boat Sober and take a boating education class in person or online. Boating Education

I’m a fan of paintball and I play every time I get a chance. And I also like to gear up with as realistic wear as possible. It just gives it an extra kick to the whole game. For that reason, I’m always on the hunt for stores that will sell me the coolest tactical gear. And that’s how I stumbled onto LA Police Gear.

No matter what you are looking for in police gear and tactical gear, you’re best bet is always go to the professionals. LA Police Gear was founded by Los Angeles area Police Officers. Hence, the name.

They serve the military, police, security professionals and the general public with a wide offering of name brands like Blackhawk Gear and others, as well as outstanding customer service and great prices. Check out their closeouts. LA Police Gear has it all.

Local event promotion and discovery on the Web has for a good while been the near exclusive domain of companies like Eventful and the Yahoo-owned Upcoming. So it is likely very difficult for anyone other than the largest chunk of the market to make a lasting impression on the social set.

That hasn’t stopped CultureMob from working its way into the fold. For those unfamiliar with CultureMob, it is a new website focused on local events discovery where users can find events, artists can promote themselves, and everyone can share them with friends.

Having had a “quiet launch” in late 2007, the efforts of CultureMob have been driven by a focus on individual markets, gradually building its presence in various locations around the US, one city at a time. The company in its earliest days looked first to blanket Seattle with its services, and has since laid some claim to Portland, Oregon, and Denver, Colorado.

If you browse the site’s offerings, you will find little but nice refinements, like easily-expandable event listings, quick access to RSS subscriptions, a convenient connection to Apple’s iCal day planner and GoogleMaps integration, as well as widgets for displaying content in many CMS and Social network sites, from MySpace to Facebook to WordPress, TypePad, Blogger, iGoogle, Netvibes, Hi5 and several others.

There’s also a  CultureMob blog, where they post their latest news, and try to build a community around the site. This shows that the guys behind this cool website are Web 2.0 conscious and this really pays off.

Altogether, CultureMob is a pleasant alternative to the biggest hitters of the event promotion and search arena. It certainly has its limits, given its city-by-city growth plan. But perhaps such a strategy will serve the startup well. Their “better to serve users with more event choices in fewer cities than more cities with sparse selections” strategy is more than adequate. So if you’re in Seattle, Portland, or Denver, or plan to venture out to those areas in the near future, give CultureMob a try. You may be pleasantly surprised with what it presents.

My wife Patricia is a certified movie addict. Since the first day I met her, any free time goes to watching DVDs, movies in theatre or movie channels on TV. Recently, she has turned to watching movies on my laptop as nephew (who’s spending a few days with us) has been taking over our living room flat TV. That should give you an idea of how addicted to movies she is.

You can just imagine the pile of unorganized DVDs that are scattered in our home. As I was finding ways to organize her DVD movie collection one again, I stumbled upon this software called “All My Movies”. In its simplest form, it is a DVD organizer created for those are tired of collecting DVDs, CDs and more. Downloadable and easy to install. It makes your collection of movies be in a more ordered way, as we know where each movie is, what’s about, even who’s in it! It’s also easy to navigate (great for when you’re in a rush to find that special movie). It downloads all the information from the internet movie database (IMDB)

You can check on their screenshots to how simple to use this DVD catalog is. All My Movies does not only store the titles and category but a full record of the film which includes of course the title, director, year of release, actors, genre, a bit of a description and even the type of storage media you have it on (DVD, AVI file, VHS, etc…). With all this information, I can browse the movie collection, find something I like (or find what my wife is talking about when she mentions a movie….) and go right to where it is stored. How’s that for simplicity?
