I Need A Movie, On The Fly : Stream Movies To Your Phone

I'm not tech savvy. In fact, I'm typing this blog with sincere fear in my hear that some techie is going to call me out on the grounds of blasphemy after reading this. What I do know that I have a ton of DVDs. I was just sharing a laugh with a friend today about it. He asked me if I remembered when a "Netflix" night was just that and I didn't mean sex to the audio track of a random movie playing on your DVD player. Meet WonderFox, a DVD Video Converter tool. Whew, that was a mouthful.
I had a boyfriend who was into all things tech and when I saw this product, I imagined him rolling around in printed sheets of code and wearing thick Buddy Holly inspired glasses.
Of course this service has been around for some time, but it's still new to me and it may be new to you as well. There are free trails to download and give it a go. You can rip a DVD and convert it right onto your cell phone. I'm ashamed that this is still very cool to me and this was available ages ago. Sadly, I just rely on the men I'm dating to show me what I can do with my phone. Pity party aside, here is a an example of what you can do:
The cell phone ripping is honestly what appeals to me most, but you can also convert videos to gif's which is likely how so many people have done it and I had not a single clue how it was all done. If you are into filming of any sort and want to place a watermark on a video (instant branding from a marketing standpoint), WonderFox also has that capability among many others.
Still not sold? Don't buy. I'm a firm believer in taking full advantage of a free ride. You can download a free trail for many of the WonderFox products or take a look at their current promotion and see if that tickles your techie fancy. Oh, and if you're stumped be sure to check out the resources page to learn how to perform a variety of functions for several devices.
Remember, anything you try...drop a line and provide a review for other readers so they can hear how well things work (or don't).

Sign Of The Times: Case of The Serial Texter

I was lying in bed when I heard the familiar chime of an incoming text. Opening one eye, I opened the message to see two letters: GM. Still, in the stupor that slumber often puts you in, I scanned my brain to register the meaning...ah yes...Good Morning. I clumsily keyed in "Hey" and hit the send button. I kept my face deep in my pillow listening for another chime. Nothing. I switched my phone into silent mode and caught another hour of sleep before waking up again. This is a typical day in the life of a serial texter. I text a lot. I text because it's free (on my cell plan). I text because it's convenient. I text because it's a great way to have a conversation without actually having a conversation. But what happens when you actually WANT to speak to the other person with whom you are texting? How do you break the pattern? After months of texting, a phone call may prove to be awkward and break the momentum you built through texting! This has happened

A Love Story

Sometimes he looked at me the way I had always wanted to be looked at. His eyes would fill with a wonder as if I was a beautiful creature he never knew existed. I would often pretend I didn't notice, because I liked to be admired a bit longer. I knew he would break his gaze if I acknowledged it. So I sat and made my best effort to remain natural, refusing to ruin the moment with unnecessary interruption. Other times, I would intentionally turn toward him. I would return his gaze and admire every curve of his face. I would notice the perceived flaws and want to kiss them all. My lips would travel across the map of his face, landing on every location of interest. He would laugh, and distract my lips from their unplanned journey by planting his against my own- keeping them in the destination he chose. I was alway obedient to what he wanted. Knowing that he wanted me was enough and so I did as he directed and I enjoyed heeding his unsaid instructions. I knew when he didn't wa

The Real Thing *Relationships/Dating*

I love Marvin Gaye. I love how he croons along with Tammi Terrell about having the "Real Thing". If you have followed my blog over the years, you have seen me get separated, divorced, and hit the dating scene. Its been a long road. There was a time that I was dating just to get my feet wet. I just wanted to get into the habit of conversing and entertaining men in a way that I hadn't due to the confines of marriage. I just wanted to be single again. Eventually I came to want more. I wanted to have something...real. I am not a traditional woman. If I didn't have children I would likely never be married and I would be totally fine with living in a separate home from my significant other and connecting when we wanted to connect and maintaining space all other times. However, I have children...and my lifestyle preferences are not a priority. I am more interested in setting an example and foundation for my girls. So here I am, dating with a purpose. I have been on POF,
