My iPhone

Sunday, August 31st, 2008

I am writing this post from my new iPhone. I am way super excited and everything seems to working rather well. Interestingly enough I am almost writing this post faster on the phone than I would on my computer. Anyway, I am just making this a quick post and now I am headed off to […]

I Bought the Camera.

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Even tough a few days ago I bought the video camera I’ve been wanting for the last couple of months, I even blogged about it (Camcorder Order). The day finally came, I had a coupon that saved me 12% and it was finally available in Best Buy stores. Everything was coming together nice and neatly. […]

iPhone 3G Me.

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

As the entire world knows, the iPhone 3G was released to the public today and of course I want one, actually to be perfectly honest, I don’t know if I want one or not. I find I hop the fence a lot regarding this phone. When the first generation of iPhone came out I wasn’t […]

Brightkite

Monday, June 16th, 2008

I am always on the lookout for new services that are in beta. They’re not difficult to find as everything that’s considered web 2.0 is in beta seemingly indefinitely. But I recently was sent an invite for Brightkite, a service that allows you to track your every movement. Sounds scary? That’s because it is.

The service […]

WWDC June 9th

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008

I’m sure this post is going to have me all geeking out and it might be embarrassing to read if you don’t share the same enthusiasm for Apple products like I do, but stay with me. Next Monday, the WWDC or Worldwide Developers Conference which is an annual conference where Apple’s technical architects and engineers […]

Ripping and Encoding

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Since I bought my iPod nano I began ripping and encoding movies to watch on the minute device. I just started ripping and encoding television shows, most currently The Office. Ripping television series is an entirely different beast than ripping a movie.

I use a program called HandBrake, and it is, I think, the best program […]

Camcorder Order

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

The plan for today was to purchase a video camera. This wasn’t going to be just any video camera, but the Sony HDR-SR12 a 120GB HDD HD camcorder with a lot of great bells and whistles. I had the money saved but I was planning on taking advantage of Best Buy’s 18 months no interest […]

Phew! *wipes sweat from brow*

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

We were in a panic, the TiVo had no power. I say had because it now does thanks to my technical know-how. That, and my ability to find solutions on the official TiVo support site. Anyway, here’s the story.

This evening, my Mom and I sit down to dinner, pea soup and corn bread, and go […]

The AV Cable Drama

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

Sometime last week I decided I wanted to pick up the Apple Composite AV Cable for the iPod. This would allow me to hook up my iPod to a television and enable me to watch movies, look at pictures or listen to my music on a television. The road to being able to do that […]
