VHS to DVD Conversion
As I’ve talked about before, I have a lot of VHS tapes I want to transfer to DVD. Today we went to a bunch of yard sales, and one of my finds was a dual-deck VHS/DVD unit. It had a button that said “copy” and a post-it saying they hadn’t tested the record function because [...]
New Blackberry Models
When I saw on BBCool that the Blackberry 8820 is about to be released, I got slightly worried. The article reported that the phone will combine GPS and wifi in one unit, which as far as I can tell is a first for Blackberry devices. If this phone had a camera, I would have been [...]

SDHC in Dell Inspiron 1501
I figured out my problem with the 4GB SD card I had bought. It wasn’t Dell’s fault that it didn’t work; I chatted with a representative and confirmed the slot is supposed to accept SDHC cards. It turned out to be a Microsoft XP problem, naturally. It fell under KB 934428, in which XP requires [...]
Y halo thar
If you haven’t seen me online much today, it’s because I’ve been playing with the new phone. In fact I am using it to write this. It is still hard so I will be brief. As of right this minute, I don’t like it. But I must give it time. It’s hard though because there [...]
Dashing
For those of you who missed it in the paid post, I’ve got a new phone on the way. I bought a T-Mobile Dash on eBay. I’ve been underwhelmed by my Sidekick for a while, and the Helio Ocean doesn’t have certain capabilities I need, so I looked around and decided on the Dash. I [...]
Finally All Fixed Up
Okay! I think I have resolved my computer problems and my classes. I wasn’t able to do much online the past couple of nights, because the whole SP2 mess really hosed things up. At one point my monitor decided to make itself “vertical” and I had to crane my head sideways to read anything! I [...]
Goodbye Deaf Studies, Hello History!
Goodbye deaf studies, hello history! No, not my major. But I’ve dropped DST 101 in lieu of HIS 111. The reason is that supposedly the GSR 103 class is going to replace the DST 101 class, so they might be considered equivalent, and I might not need it for the major. Time is money, and [...]
Getting Wings
Thanks to curvedmetal I am now coveting a smartphone other than a Blackberry. When I got my Sidekick 3, I had no phone at all because I’d just cracked the screen on my Sidekick 2. So I ran out and upgraded to a SK3 immediately and it was $300. But if I’d taken the time [...]
