Progress
The last time I needed to mass convert some music files was about 10 years ago when moving some bootlegs off of optical media onto a network drive. Ripping a CDs worth of lossless SHN files to WAV took a few minutes; then re-encoding the same to FLAC took another few minutes. Recently, I found…

The Little Things
In the process of porting our cell phones from Metro to T-Mobile. After getting my own line moved, I noticed when you call support line they use caller id to give a personalized greeting… “Hey Jason, what can I do for you today?” in their customer service bot’s fairly realistic voice. Nice. I also appreciate…

Can’t go wrong with collab videos with Simone and Laura. So, good.

Nifty Letter Opener
I got sick of gluing our nice little letter opener back together after it fell off the refrigerator and smashed for the umpteenth time and decide it was time to find something new.

It worked fine, and I had a big box of spare ink cartridges, but it was redundant with a new printer Sandy had in California. Even though Sandy’s…

Way more useful that I would have guessed.
Oscillating Multifunction Power Tool. I needed to trim the shake siding around a window I recently installed to get the trim to fit (the new window was slightly larger than the old one.) I picked up the tool thinking it might work. Turns out it was just what I needed. I was able to zip…

FiOS Still Rocks
Recently my DVR has been acting up. Its been working 100% fine, but I’ve been hearing the tell tale signs of hard drive or fan failure. Last night, in the middle of the night, it was the white noise was loud enough to wake me up (I was in bed, the DVR is downstairs!) I…

Cool Amazon Feature
Was doing some research on one of my SLR lens and thought amazon was a good a place as any to get some quick specs. When I eventually found the product detail page, it had a little previously purchased reminder. Good stuff!
