Pho Thai Son Vietnamese on East Broadway, Vancouver BC Canada (Sony HX7V)

Pho Thai Son Vietnamese
373 East Broadway
Vancouver, BC, Canada

Pho Thai Son is recommended to me by my (dining) partner who is of Vietnamese descent. We enjoyed a delicious bowl of Seafood Rice Noodle Soup (it’s not exactly the same thing as Pho but is still served in a huge bowl with noodles and a yummy broth. the Seafood Rice Noodle soup has a cleaner tasting broth than the Pho, but it was really refreshing, invigorating and delicious!)

The food was really delicious, I highly recommend eating at Pho Thai Son on East Broadway in Vancouver BC Canada. It’s a 10 to 20 minute cab ride from downtown Vancouver BC Canada.

Youtube Mashup Generator – Geoff’s idea of the day

Here’s an idea I came up with for a website which generates instant Youtube Mashups.

Update, June 14th 2011
The idea has now been implemented (thanks to Sai!) and is available at instantmashup.com

main screen:
-ask two questions:
1) What do you want in the video? (e.g. kittens, obama, football)
2) What kind of music do you want in the video? (e.g. rock music, jazz, Beatles, Bieber, death metal, etc).

Click the “Go” button and then it creates an instant mashup with a video containing the first search term, e.g. some cute kittens, and mashes it up with the music from the second search term, e.g. death metal.

Examples:
1)
video: kittens
music: death metal

2)
video: obama
music: harpsichord

3)
video: bieber
music: Beethoven Symphony No. 3

instantmashup.com/instant.php?q=Bieber+and+Mozart

 

How does it work?
-The website is coded in Javascript using JQuery.
-It accesses the free Youtube Javascript API to execute the Search terms, finds the video for the picture and the sound, and then uses the Javascript API to play both videos at the same time.
-It sets the volume of the first video to 0 (off) and hides the second video from the screen, so only its audio plays.

Extensions on the idea, to develop further:
-allow the mashups to be saved and shared with others
-create a rating system for mashups, build a community around sharing mashups
-Integrate with Tumblr and wordpress.
-Monetization using Google Adsense

Please do not patent this idea. it deserves to belong to everyone, not a specific corporation. This video serves as proof that I invented the idea on May 22nd 2011, so please take it and develop the idea for yourself, and please share it with the world!

Thanks a lot.
Geoff
