Happy New Year 2011

turning change into Amazon.com

So I took a bottle of pennies, nickels and dimes to my local food4less, they have a coinstar change machine, very kool indeed. I dumped all my spare change and walked out with a Amazon gift card of $130.32 cannot complain about that.. so I shoot photography, always needed a LARGE reflector, they are only $30ish, so I logged into Amazon.com and bought one, how kool.

This was 3 days ago roughly, today at the office I get a knock from a guy with a HUGE box, I think hummm... what can it be.... O yeah it has to be.. well check out the pict, they used a HUGE box 38" cubed to ship me this reflector that is 20" in diameter. Check it out in the pict next to the box it came in...

Bret Michaels Cowboy hats all over the news

Hey Hey all, So I found the cowboy hats that Brett Michaels has been wearing on the celebrity apprentice on NBC, he's been kinda wearing a white with black roman cross one alot, also a kool new one with a spark plug the last two episodes, now I sure hope he keeps his health as I see he just had a mild stroke and is on blood thinner while they figure out a solution for the hole he has in his heart, so crazy. All my best to him and his family and I hope he WINS the show !!! He's a good guy from what I have seen, that Holly is quick to talk shit about the others and she thinks she's so entitled to it all, remember she was pissed years ago about her whole deal then after much therapy came around and supports it all, but I was told she almost filed for divorce.

Back to Brett Michaels hats, I see they are only $80 at TeamDiva.com and she sells via Etsy so if you want to get the actual hat go to the links, I like she's not raping people for killer Handmade hat like others try and do.

I also noticed that in People Magazine he had Miley Cyrus with him and she had on a hat that Diva Amy made as well, I'm guessing that she made a grip of hats for him and she picked one from his stash so that's kool he's a nice guy. Here is that hat she's wearing.

Enjoy !

How to save $$ on your motorcycle tires !

Hi ya,

Have not posted in a longggg time.. well I ride a Honda street motorcycle, cbr 600 F2 to be exact. now I called my local tire shop that claims to have the best deals on rubber, I needed front and rear tires ! Price as quoted for Dunlop SportMax Street Smarts ( now keep in mind this is with me pulling the wheels off the bike) I would just drop them and they just pull the old off and mount and balance the new tires. was $387.00 bucks !!!! WoW !

So I got online found the tires shipped to my door for $247.00 front and rear same exact tires. Now this part is funny, my shop in Newport Beach cuts me deals.. wanted $50 to mount and balance them ( I take wheels off the bike) so I thought that was an ok deal.. but I called the Honda shop up near my work in Orange, they were only $32.00 so of course Honda in Orange here I come.. they changed them in 20min or less. Now when I went back to pick them up ( great guys and super nice) they told me the front wheel had to have the bearings replaced. Well they wanted $53 just for the bearing, didn't even ask the labor as I'm sure that would have been about $30 min.. so lets say $90 total. Now I have been inventing stuff for years and making all sorts of skateboards and such for yrs I noticed that the bearings were just a standar 6004 sealed bearing.. well looking on the net I found them local for $9 ea.. not bad.. I looked a bit more found a guy closer and he even had the super nice skf bearing ( made in france) for only $12 bucks.. well I only needed one bearing as the SKF dealer says yup only one needed.. so I had to take the seal off the old and pump a bit of grease into it ( people try to tell ya sealed bearing can't be service, and that's total BS) you just pop the seal off and put in grease. No big deal. so here are a few picts of what I had going on, and be known you to can save yourself a ton of money by being a bit of a smart shopper and doing some labor on your own ! had I rolled with normal pricing, I would have been out a total of $477.00 but instead I'm out barely $291.00 I think that's about 39% not bad, I also was able to grease up the front and rear bearings that for SURE wouldn't have been done by the service peeps.. so hope this helps you save some $$$

Rene
ps. keep in mind you just need to use a super small flat head screw driver to remove the seal no major deal, you don't even need to remove the bearing to grease it.. but if you do you won't need a press, just a hammer and something to tap the edges of the inner race to get it out, then use on both races lightly to get it back in !

Vimeo versus youtube

Hey I uploaded this new video to both, you tell me what you think ???? to give youtube a fair chance make sure you click on watch in high quality, now what I notice is this, the Vimeo version has sound issues, also if you look at Kia she has some wierd white streaks of light that are on her, notice in the slow motion segment. The youtube in high quality is much better then vimeo in my opinion.

ps. Vimeo version youtube version

Audiences adopt 'Chihuahua' with $29M weekend

Well HELL, I have to laugh now.. those kooks from Vimeo said they dont' care about the Movie Beverly HIlls Chihuahua, but now that the movie kicked butt this weekend, I now see god knows how many idiot people running out and buying a Chihuahua and thinking they can now have a lil dog that talks.. haha.. wrong.. don't get me wrong the breed is fun and My Pancho Villa is part Chihuahua but I think he's mixed with some heeler or min pin since he's smarter then most Chi's I've seen, now that part most people don't know, is that Papi the rescue star of the show, was pulled from the pound and taken to boot camp for 6 Months, this lil guy was on death row, but then put straight into a min 8hr a day 6 day a week training schedule for that flick, then who knows how much tiime for the filming of the movie so I imagine he's been working for over 1 year non stop.. I'm sure he's having fun, but he now lives wiht his trainer ( and god knows how many other animals) as the trainer surely won't give him up he's to valuable now.. I think he should donate him to a family, he's had a tough life.... don't you Think ????? I will be checking out the movie once it hits the $1 Redbox.com kiosk those things are so great ! So back to Vimeo, I'm sure the amount of Funy Chihuahua videos from homes all over are going to start to hit youtube like you have never seen, our pal Justin put on a Chihuahua red carpet beauty contest yest to jump on the bandwagon and make some $$ for his non profit, and I'm sure more Chi events are coming... but O Vimeo isn't a Pet Site, they are a Video sharing site. HaHa Blake Whitman and Andrew Pile are so not getting the point, IAC wants to make money, these kids at vimeo want to play in there lil office and make videos of themselves doing lil kiddy stuff like playing with chainsaws,( looks to me that Blake has two standard poodles maybe even) dig in to his lame vids you will see he's all about himself. I hope IAC catches wind of there statements, maybe I should do a press release.. haha..

Vimeo sucks, they don't care about pets! Vimeo.com sucks

Read the conversation I had with these guys( Vimeo.com ), amazing they think they are so great I guess... humm I wonder if the investors would like to read this ! Mypoint of contact was three fold, I wanted them to feature a user that just skated a world record, 7,555mi around the earth, two let them know the pet world is huge and that I might be able to get them a person that has a huge following to try them versus the youtube he uses now. As the pet business is over 50Bil and pet people luv to share video, the idiot Blake tells me, were a video sharing site not a pet site. HaHa ya think like I had no idea, I thought maybe you all would consider changing and only showing Pet related Videos. you idiot Blake Whitman, like I don't understand what your site is, if you looked you would see I have a handful of videos at my vimeo account, damn. then the supposed top dog at vimeo messages me a two word response, Andrew Pile, humm luv that last name, Pile of what ???? I send him a detailed email and all he can muster up is TWO words! I have two words for Andrew " YOU TOOL " I won't be using teh slow vimeo anymore anyhow you guy's still need to work on bugs anyhow and your site is not so great that you need to have a fuck you attitude. I will stick to Revver.com and Youtube.com NOT Vimeo

Loosers... !

More to come !

Hey Andrew,

I see your pict first so I'm guessing your the top man at Vimeo.. I had an interesting conversation with Blake via IM, I don't think he understands what I was trying to explain to him, as he kinda had an attitude of were so cool at vimeo etc.. Read it below..

I'm Rene Bruce vimeo.com/user589485/videos

Ive been a sales rep for many years till 98 when my warehouse burnt to the ground lost 250k, then started up a bunch of new Co. from a staples table ( I invent stuff, I invent the rollerblade hockey, and agressive wheels) I helped pioneer snowboarding in so cal in the 90's then in 2000 rocked the razor scooters craze, I have sold stuff on QVC, now I'm in the pet business. I originally contacted him to suggest you feature a guy that just skateboarded 7,555 miles around the globe and has been posting some amazing vids on your site, Rob is truely amazing, and thought it being a Guiness Record you all might want to feature his lastest vid, maybe say congrats, or even do a PR that he finished and is a vimeo user, I would think You all want to grow your site.. anyhow at the same time I have a pal that does a HUGE dog site with over 30,000 people subcribed, he puts on a few dog events over the year, been on Jay Lenno, he works with Beauty Pagents, miss america and miss universe contestants ( maybe I can get him to try vimeo) check hautedogs.org and if he likes maybe he will spread the word etc.. but the reponse I got from Blake was not interested, he told me your NOT in the pet business, that your a video sharing site, Well ya think.. I'm not an idiot I have vids on your site to share, but I have had thousands upon thousands ( over 600,000 alone on just one wwe dane vide at myspace and pretty good on youtube) so I understand fully yoursite.. I just mentioned to him I can pass along as this Bevery Hills Chihuahua event his is doing this weekend could be huge and maybe if I can get him to do a vimeo, anyhow.. I'm rambling, but Blake said not interested, then he said, O yeah he can use vimeo if he would like, well with aht said, why exaclty would I want to promote your site when it sounds like you all have plenty of traffic and could careless to get good content ??? Is that the vision of Vimeo ?
Thanks.. sorry so long.. but u can read below.. I also own TopBroadcasters.com and am linked with lifecasting, I speak to Brad Greenspan on a reg basis so I understand web 2.0 maybe Blake thought I was some dumb chick or kid, I'm a Male 42yr. that has been around the block many times ;)



AIM IM with Blake Whitman .
1:13PM
Hey, a Pal Rob just finished a longboard skate around the world, he has lots of vid on your site, and you guys might consider featuring him or his last vid maybe, it's an amazing feat to pull off, 14degrees.org/en/?p=754 or vimeo.com/user434563 he skated 7,555 miles, not sure if you can comprehend that distance ( I speed skated from the gg bride to santa cruz yrs ago 95mi in 5.5hrs was crazy, but what rob did was truely amazing ! his vids are great considering he carries all his stuff with him on his journey, do a press release on it, will get ya some mad press, think about it ! Tanx !
1:15PM
ps. I'm the guy that has the harely riding dog, and surfing dog that shows up on yahoo news etc.. might consider featuring some of mine too.. I did one of my dane and min pin and it got over 650,000 hits on myspace tv last year..... the harely and surf vids are great and the pet industry is over 50Bil $ !

btw, this weekend we are going to a HUGE Chihuahua beauty contest, I will tell Justin Rudd about your site as he has 30,0000 users that follow his site, hautedogs.org and he puts on vids.. also I might shoot vid and do a short vid to, since that movie Beverly HIlls Chihuahua hits Sat might be good for you all to jump on that bandwagon if youwant...?
what bandwagon are you talking about specifically?
1:25PM
Pet industry, the 50bil +
Disney spent a fortune on that movie
nah, we're cool
but thanks
really you don't care about attracting traffic from people that spend tons of $$ on pets right ?
what demographic are you targeting then ?
well, we're a video sharing site, not a pet site
1:30PM
hautedogs.org/ click this link tell me what video you see ???
Youtube ! wouldn't you rather have the 30,000 people he has signed up use Vimeo ?
1:35PM
If he wants to use Vimeo then he is welcome to


better question, who is in marketing that I can email ?
you can email me - blake@vimeo

haha.. I don't think so, your not getting it. I'll talk with Andrew or some one who understands marketing, thanks for your time, have a good week !
