Cleaning takes on even greater meaning in spring as we toss out the old, bring in the new and organize our homes. Projects that we’ve set aside jump back to the top of the list.

One of those projects – organizing old family videos on vhs/beta tapes, camcorder tapes, mini DVs, and film reels (super 8 or 8mm, 16mm) – can be easily checked off the list by sending them off for digitization through our online ordering service at Ritzdvd.com.

Our partner, YesVideo, has been preserving memories for thousands of families for more than 13 years. Ritz and YesVideo will do the “Spring cleaning” for you by creating DVDs, digitizing your entire collection, allowing you to view online those past vacations, birthdays and holidays. Once digitized and organized your materials are sent back to you to safely store in the back of that closet you just cleaned out!

Now you have good reason to get rid of those old devices you haven’t plugged in for years. Out with that tape eating VCR, slide carousel from the 1960s and film projector that never seemed to work. Fire up your computer and slap in the DVDs you ordered, sit back and reminisce. Share your digitized memories online with friends and family via email and Facebook. Better yet, invite them over to show off your spotless house while playing those past memories on your television. Spring cleaning was never so easy.

If you are looking for a great Photo Gift for a loved one, A personalized iPad Case is perfect! Assuming they have an iPad 2.

Finding the perfect case for your iPad can be a chore. There are so many cases out there, and until you’ve tried them, it’s hard to decide what you really want. I was given the pleasure of testing out this new product, and I must say, it is now my favorite case for my iPad 2. The case itself is black or red leather, and offers 3 height adjustments for flat surface browsing. What’s even better, is that you can add your own photo, or artwork to the front cover of this case so you can truly personalize your iPad.

This is a great case for your iPad 2, whether on the go, or around the house. You will find yourself loving this case. The case provides easy access to all necessary ports and buttons so you can leave your iPad in the case all the time.

Shopping for gifts for this holiday season? If you know anyone that does video or audio editing on their computer or iPad, a Blue Microphone will make a perfect gift! Blue Microphone’s Snowball, or Yeti microphones are professional studio quality microphones that can be used on your computer or iPad. If you or someone you know uses iMovie on the iPad, and needs to record a voice over, a blue microphone is perfect. If you know of a musician that spends time recording songs and editing audio files on their computer, again, a blue microphone is perfect.

Blue Microphones are USB, so they can be easily plugged into your computer, or iPad with a USB adapter. No software drivers are required, just plug and play! I have had the pleasure of using one of these microphones over the past weekend, and I must say, the sound quality is amazing. I have used many computer microphones in the past, and when I play back my voice, it always sounded different. These microphones are so clear. What I heard play back was exactly what I expected to hear. There was no interference from breathing or other background sounds.

I do not do much with video or audio editing personally, but after using this microphone, I have to have one. Even if it is just to do web chat using Skype or another application, the sounds will be picked up clearly, and I don’t have to worry about yelling into the computer microphone just to be heard. I recommend a blue microphone to anyone that uses their computer microphones on a regular basis.

Description

Give a personalized sports ball to your all-star!

Review

This ball is super cute. Add a picture of your superstar and you will have to pry it out of his or her hot little hands. It’s perfect for kids who love sports either to play or to just look at. Here is my son’s.

The ball is great quality and it comes with a little stand. It’s back to school time. Get something that is a little fun for your kids.

I received a sample of this product to review at no charge but my opinions are not influenced in any way by this fact. They are my own.
