a lesson, a choice at hand
My current "project" at hand is to reorganized My Music folder to get all the files sorted, so when I finally get the Ipod Mini, I'll be ready to transfer everything over. Also, I'm trying to gather all the songs that I want, including some of the top 40 hits. There is a specific song that I got hooked on, and so I debated if I want to buy it via iTunes Store or Napster. I know for a fact that the iTunes Store-bought tracks are all AAC format, but I was unsure if Napster sells those in MP3 or WMA. I really prefered MP3 format just so that all my music files are in the same format. So I decided to take a gamble and go with Napster instead.

The checkout process was easy, but much to my disappointment, the music file came in WMA format instead.

So now this is forcing me to choose - if I want to go the Napster WMA route, or the iTunes AAC route. But ever since I started playing with the iTunes, I've fell in love with it. The ease of organizing everything—from the interface, to the file naming convention, to folder structure—won me over. I guess $0.99 isn't too expensive of a lesson for me to learn which way I want to go from here on.

Sorry napster, you were great, but iTunes was greater. And yes, I am a PC user.

it's all good
With help from both Johnny and Jeff, I can now sit on my couch, in front of the TV, browse the net, watch the TV, arrange my music in iTunes, and chat with my friends...

Ahh, time to stock up frozen TV dinner.

networking question
I know quite a lot of you are networking wiz, so I'm going to throw this question out here and hopefully I'll get some answers.

Current setup:
DSL Modem --> Router --> 5 Port Switch --> 3 desktop computers are connected from the switch (2 windows 1 linux).

Now, if I want to add a laptop computer to the mix, I need to have wireless networking setup. I already have Netgear ME 102 Access Point, however, that thing is impossible for me to setup. I have not a clue how that works.

What is the cheapest and easiest way to do this? I'm trying to avoid buying a wireless router. And if anybody knows exactly what I need and is willing to come give me a hand in setting this up, I will buy you lunch/dinner. Thanks in advance.

radio
This morning on the MJ morning show on Z107, they were talking about the TV show CSI and the up and coming CSI: New York.

MJ: And they can do a CSI: St. Louis, where the first case is "East St. Louis Hooker Found Dead"; or CSI: Altus, Arkansas, where a pig was killed and Miss H|lton is invovled.

I seldom laugh at the radio. I did this morning.

decisions decisions
Help me decide, what color should I get? Silver / Green / Blue? Leave comment. Thanks!

today
This morning I walked into my office building with a smile. I don't know why I was smiling cause I actually got my a$$ whooped on I-44 by a *drumroll* 2004 dolphin grey Audi A4 1.8T. I was actually doing pretty well until my radar detector went off, and then I played safe after that while he proceed to leave me biting the dust. But it was fun nontheless, and I willingly surrender to my dream car. It is, afterall, a better car.

On another note, I found out that I have more vacations left than I had anticipated, so I get to take two days off and go down to San Antonio to see boy graduate from Basic Military Training. *smile*
