Breaking News: Lindwood Has Frozen Over!

Does being a celebrity have its privlidges? Well, in breaking news, Wannabe Actress and Jailbait (pun intended) Paris Hilton was released from jail early this morning. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department called a hastily scheduled news conference early this morning outside the Century Regional Detention Facility to answer reporters’ questions about the famous inmate.

Hilton checked into the facility Sunday night to begin serving a more than three-week sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. The average time served for violating probation in California is 2.7 days. So this isn't out of the norm.

In the conference, officials stated After consultation with medical and jail personnel she will be "reassigned" to a community based custom monitoring program. She will be confined to her home for 40 days, her sentence will be 45 days under the supervision of the LA County Probation department. The range of the ankle bracelet she has on is said to be 3,000 feet - I wonder if she'll be able to leave her bedroom to take a pee! More to come!

What Is Discover Insanity?

The world has gone crazy. People believe everything their hear on radio, TV and even the internet. There are so many lawsuits between people and companies that we can't even try hardened criminals. It's time that someone come out and clear up the rash of misinformation. And that's me.

The one and only purpose of Discover Insanity is that I will attempt to clear up any news that seems, well, insane! I will also inject some humor, some opinions (yes, they could be wrong), and even some serious stuff.

Saving YouTube & Google Videos

Want to take YouTube videos to go on your iPod or portable media player, or burn them to DVD for viewing on your TV? Most video sites don’t publicize that you can do this (they want your eyeballs for themselves!), but it’s a piece of cake with a great free Web site that does for streaming video what Toast does for disc burning on the Mac.

For YouTube, Google Video and MySpace Video, Media-Convert.com is all you need. You simply paste in a link to the desired video, choose an output format, and then download the converted video all ready to copy to your iPod or DVD! Even better, since all processing is done remotely, it won’t tie up your computer for long video conversions.
For iPod, choose MP4 output, for DVDs select MPEG-2, and for mobile phones, use 3GP. Many other output formats are also supported, including QuickTime, WMV, AVI and MPEG-1. Then use Toast to burn the results to DVD.
