how to download videos from youtube to watch when not connected to the internet

I found this great little plugin for Firefox browser. it's free and
you can queue up multiple download of youtube movies.

http://www.sothinkmedia.com/web-video-downloader-firefox/

after installing, you just go to a youtube video, and click on the
icon to download the file..choose where to save and you're done after
a few minutes of downloading.

You need VLC media player to watch flv videos...it's also free, for
pc and mac.

Ottawa Marathon Day! May 30th, 2010

Here are some pics from the marathon...oh such sweet joy to finish the race in one piece. Don't have much to say, the pics tell the story. I finished in a comfortable 4:40 time.
A little rest and ...on to the next :)

O marathon Gods, give me a nice ride.

on Sunday at 7am is my first marathon. Why am I doing it..I'm not sure, it sounded like a good idea at the time. I am considerably more humble in my expectations of this run. Initially i was targeting 4hrs - 4.5 hours but I will settle for 5hours and a nice comfortable finish. I want to take in the view of the parliament buildings and the canal and soak up the atmosphere of all the thousands of runners. I'm looking forward to the crowds cheering, the multi faces of running. I remember the last half marathon, running behind a blind guy who was holding on to a rope and keeping pace with a partner runner. damn that was inspiring. Also remember thinking i was hot shit and being passed by a woman in her 50s...so there, lots to learn about myself and appreciate during the race.

Peace out and much love,
Krisen the 42k man.
