Neat special effects - was the hazy appearance meant to represent working in "the cloud"?

No Shawn, the hazy appearance is related to my 4 years old web cam that was designed for old web conferencing purposes AND the poor lighting at my place. It's cosy, but not so perfect for shooting video (or taking pictures). I thought that I had to make up for the not so perfect video quality with some special effects to distract the viewer from the haziness. It only had limited effect, obviously :)

Hello Carston,
You are brave for getting this started.
I was hoping to see how your service distinguished you from everyone else online. Perhaps this is on your site. I heard a list of things you do and because I don't understand most of it I got lost trying to keep up with all that you shared.
Yet how Entrepreneurial of you to step out and just do it. As soon as I figure out how to get the video into the computer I will follow your lead, because this kind of learning is what I call fun!
Go Jim! Go!
There's a fearles parent in all of us. Seen yours lately?
thank you for your kind words. Regarding your question how it does distinguish itself from others.
Cumbrowski.com is not my business as in providing the means for my income to make a living. I do not rely on the site to pay my bills. This means that I do not have to do or don't do things that would hurt the site financially. I don't have to pitch something to make a buck or leave out something because it would make sponsors unhappy.
There is of course also a flip side to this. The site is less professional as a site that is the means for somebody to make his living. The depth in coverage of the various subjects heavily depends on my own knowledge and understanding of each subject.
Areas where I am not as much knowledgeable are not as well covered as areas where I have deep knowledge and extensive experience. I try to refer to my site as "my personal branded del.icio.us" and that is how it actually started. I got tired of sending out the same information in emails etc. over and over again. I got almost identical questions again and again and putting stuff on a website allowed me to simply email back a link.
I hope this longer answer is satisfactory for you. ;)
p.s. You have no idea how little time 15 seconds are. Jim seemed to have noticed it too, because he removed the time limitation. I was wondering what elevators are that fast or who would use an elevator just for 1-2 floors to cover to only give you 15 seconds for your message. :)
"Just doing it" is the way to go (in most cases). You almost always progress a step forward by doing something. You do that 10 times and one of that 10 times does it cause you to take a step backwards (or two). You still are 8-9 steps ahead of the guy who thinks 10 times about doing something, but never does, because of fear of the possible step backwards. :)
Cheers!

Hey Carsten,
You crack me up! You are too funny! :)
"Just do it!" Reading your post has inspired me already my friend. I'm getting closer to presenting my video now. I can just feel it. Only last night the footage wasn't showing up, and then the battery died. How you tech-eases keep doing this so well amazes me. Half the time I can't even find my cell phone: like right about now. Take care. :)

Good, where is the video? Stop talking and just do it :)
"How you tech-eases keep doing this so well amazes me"
It's a mix of stupidity and the incapability of giving up and admit failure if it is something where we are supposed to be good at... and of course luck . It's called stubbornness I believe, or simply being a man. ;) aehm I meant being persistent of course. aehm, ja. hehe
