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).

And I Am Telling You... Breaking Up Is Hard To Do!

Dreamgirls was a successful Broadway play for years. It even made it's way to the big screen in 2006. Original headliners of the staged version included then little known Loretta Divine and now long forgotten Jennifer Holliday. Watching the performance of the then robust and popular Holliday allowed me to witness her successful portrayal of the scorned character Effie White. In a passionate performance she screamed, sobbed and belted the lyrics of "And I Am Telling You, I'm Not Going" in such a way that years later many have made a valiant effort to match her vocal bravado in singing the same song. Of those attempts, most have fallen far from the mark. With this knowledge, I wondered why was it that Jennifer Hollidays career didn't move much further beyond her Dreamgirls fame. Upon doing a bit of google research ( not the most reliable, but definitely the most convenient) I have found several theories as to why Jennifer Holiday's career came to a standstill...

Good Morning Heartache....

When I was about 14 my mother gave me a book called "Good Morning Holy Spirit". It was a Christian book that was aimed to keep believers in tune with God. It encouraged the reader to wake up each morning and greet God, allowing Him to play a role in your life each day. I still try to do that. Recently, I realized that another part of my life that I can certainly do without is heartache. Getting married and going through the motions of a divorce gives way to feelings that are far from pleasant. It's stressful, it's emotionally draining and it hurts like the dickens. With all of these aches and pains I still press on with my decision to end my marriage. My husband understands. For the first time last night, I poured my heart out to him, sobbed and expressed my pain. I told him that I loved him, but I could never be with him again. I admitted that I don't know how to be his wife. I admitted that I am petrified of being a single parent to two girls. I mourn...

K-Ci & Jo-Jo Come Clean.... : REVIEW

When I heard that K-Ci and Jo-Jo were coming out with a reality show documenting their experience going through rehab, I was excited. The first thing I wanted to know was which one was K-Ci and which one was Jo-Jo (yes, it has been that long since I have seen let alone heard of them since highschool). I always loved Jodeci and when the two lead singers of the group branched off and made a few ballads I looked forward to hearing more, but more never came. Years passed by and I continued to play their hits and came to terms with the fact that this group was never going to reunite and the two brothers whose vocals lead the group to super stardom with were coked up and out for the count. Enter K-Ci and Jo-Jo: Coming Clean. I figured they were going to finally boot the snow blizzard that packed their nostrils. WRONG. They are kicking the alcohol habit. They claim that there was never a drug problem. We all have heard otherwise, but they insist. If moscato can turn me into what these t...
