A friend of mine sent me this in email and while it is a little dated, it is still really really cool. Enjoy.

The Burquini for the modest Muslim woman. Or, for those of us who burn easily.

Now, for those of you who don’t know what a Burquini is, it is basically a swimsuit for the modest Muslim woman. It covers you from head to toe and looks very similar to a full body wetsuit. Obviously the word comes from combining two words:‘Burqua’, the clothing worn by Muslim women to completely cover their body, and ‘Bikini’ to make ‘Burquini’.

[sidenote] Actually, the Burquini looks like something I should wear because I burn so easily under the sun. What an idea! I could go out and swim with everyone else without applying the sunscreen every 20 minutes…[/sidenote]

When asked what kind of swimsuit would be more hygienic and appropriate for the swimming pool, the French judge suggested something more along the lines of a more ‘normal French swimsuit’, such as the one below.

As you can see this swimsuit is much, much more hygienic than a Burquini.

Oh yeah. Much cleaner. That string covers it all.

Closed Captioning allows those who cannot hear or who have limited hearing to read text on videos. Also good when your video soundtrack is of poor quality.

OK, after searching all over the place and asking tons of questions to people, I realized that the one place I didn’t check was the YouTube help files to find a closed captioning software plugin for iMovie 6.

Turns out I didn’t need a plugin. You can do closed captioning for free for your YouTube videos here: http://captiontube.appspot.com/

Marlee Maitlan would be proud.
