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).

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...

When History Repeats Itself...

My mom raised three kids on her own. My close friend Sandra's* mom raised two kids on her own. My friend Lana* is a product of a married household. Let me tell you some more facts: I am now a single mom raising two kids on my own. My sister is a single mother raising two kids. Sandra is a single mom raising three kids on her own. Lana is married, with two children and more often than not, a stay at home mom. Lets take a look closer: My husband has always told me that I was destined to be a single mother. It is his belief that I didn't put in the effort required to keep our marriage afloat because I was far too receptive to being a single mother since that was the type of household that I came from. This may be true. I have no idea what a working marriage looks like since I wasn't the product of one. One of my brothers who grew up with my rolling stone of a father informed me that many of the flaws my husband had were the same flaws our father had. I found this to...

Admit It, You're Bitter!

For most, dating isn't easy (see " Dating Game (s) post). Can I be honest? I have no idea on where to begin! With each failed relationship, after sulking and licking your wounds one would hope that they have at least learned something from the experience. As much as we invest in these relationships, even after their demise we should hope to take something away from it. Whether that means that you no longer have tolerance for someone who doesn't make you happy, or finally realizing someone who only changes their underwear on special occasions may not be the right person for you... the bottom line is that you have standards. For me, standards were truly created and defined after navigating the terrain of turbulent relationships. Its not that I hadn't a clue of what I wanted in a partner, its just that a few go-rounds with the wrong person will let you know what you DON'T want in a partner. Negative experiences will often leave me far less receptive ...
