A Villager wrote to me asking how to save the videos on Densaville to their own computer. This is a great idea for watching videos offline, or converting the videos to a smaller format for your portable media player. (Please do not email videos. No one likes waiting for an email to download! Send the permalink of the video instead, or better yet, the permalink to the Densaville.com post containing the video!)

As you may have noticed, these videos are a format which makes downloading and saving difficult.

There are programs that you can download which will convert videos for you, but better yet are services available online to do this!

Here are some options:VConvert; Vixy.net; and if you have FireFox as your browser, you can install Video Download Helper.

Of course, there’s always THE HARD WAY.

Trillium sent me a link to this webpage which has a video entitled “Foux Da Fa Fa.” This is a video putting silly little phrases you learn in your first year French class to music.

Browse The Drawings of Leonardo DaVinci. I don’t think I need to say to those in Densaville what a huge amount of respect I have for this old master artist, scientist, engineer, thinker and inventor.
