There were no motivational posters or signs of any kind on the walls of the Performable office, but now we have one… and I really like it!
Oh and btw… I took this image with my Evo. Came out pretty good!

I recently purchased the Sprint Evo 4G and this phone is amazing. I have been interested in how it is going to compare to the new iPhone 4. Engadget has a great review and comparison between the two phones. What I took away from the article is that the iPhone is slightly more polished than the Evo. Other than that, the iPhone doesn’t seem to have anything else on the Evo.
I’m very happy with my Evo and the Sprint service. Its great being on a fast network!

Well I just noticed that I haven’t posted yet this year and it’s already October, so I thought it might be a good thing to do. A lot has changed over the past year, and I’m not going to bore you with all the details.
Over the summer I got my GED and currently I am enrolled in Middlesex Community College. I am going to Middlesex because there wasn’t enough time over the summer to get into another school, and now I can get some of the required courses out of the way with before I transfer to another school. There is also the advantage that Middlesex is a lot cheaper than many of the other schools that are in the Boston Area.
Other than school changes, I am currently working at Remax Prestige where I am a Real Estate Agent’s Assistant. I started working there in February and it has been a very rewarding experience. In January I am going to be getting my Real Estate License, so that I am able to sell houses. I’m not able to get it now because I’m not 18 yet.
Just about a month ago I made the switch from a PC to a Mac. I wasn’t sure if it was going to be a good move, but I have not any problems so far with the new Macbook, and I just love using it. It’s so fast, and everything just works on it. But I got the Macbook just before they came out with the new one. I’m trying to decide if I want to sell mine and get the new one since it has a much better graphics card, but I think I will just stick with mine, since I don’t game, so the better card doesn’t matter that much.
Other than that, there isn’t too much else going on. I am in the process of looking for another job, since I have so much free time with college, so if anyone in the Boston Area is looking for someone good with computer or anything else, send me an email and let me know.
I’ll get back in the rhythm of posting shortly…Hopefully…
Nowadays all of the Ipods can support video. But who wants to buy the videos from Itunes for $5 or more a piece. It is convenient and fast, but it still does cost money. I recently received an 80 gig Ipod Classic as an early Christmas present. I immediately wanted to fill it but I don’t have 80 gigs of media files on my computer. So I put all 1700 songs that I have on it, and then I wanted to put some videos that I have on it.
To take a DVD and put the movie onto an Ipod I recommend using Magic DVD Ripper. The program does cost, but it has a free trial and you can just uninstall it and reinstall it after the trial is over. It rips the DVD right to an Ipod usable format, and then just add the file to Itunes, and sync with an Ipod.
If you download movies from the internet through torrents, they usually come as .avi files. Also any other videos, such as ones recorded on a digital camera. In order to convert these to play on the Ipod you will need a program to convert them. Probably the easiest program to do that would be Internet Video Converter. To convert the .avi or just about any other video format, just click on the Transcoder and tell it where the file you want to convert is, and into one of the 3 different Ipod options it has. (Any of them will work, they are just higher and lower quality for converted video.) Then click the button that says “Ipod” and then the “Start Conversion” button. It will take about 15-45 minutes to convert the video, depending on the length of the video, and the processor speed of the computer converting it.
After most movies are converted they are between 500 and 700 megabytes. And having a 80 gig Ipod, that will fit a lot of videos. Hope this helps with putting your videos on your Ipod.
Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Years.
