iPod Movie Converter

Posted by Santi on December 5, 2011 Comments Off

Funny how I am still trying to figure out all of the things that my new iPod can and will do for me. I’ve had the darn thing since September, I really thought that I would have had it mastered by now. They say that today’s kids are way more tech savy then we ever were and are, I have to say that I am finding out more and more how true that is.

I have had to rely on a couple of teenagers here and there for assistance with numerous, what I call “high tech” issues and my iPod is no different. I just spent over an hour with a neighbor who has been chatting up some of the cool things that iPods are capable of doing. He suggested that I get an iPod Movie Converter that will convert most files that are video formatted to my iPod, which will be cool. Guess I’ll start looking online and seeing what makes and models from what companies are best suited for my needs and wants. Something like this will have to wait until after Christmas, there are other things that I need to tend to first, but I’ll be doing some research in the mean time.

Good Buddy

Posted by Santi on December 4, 2011 Comments Off

Took a trip to the local hospital today to visit a buddy who had an appendix flare up. Right before Christmas isn’t the best time to land in the hospital, there isn’t ever a good time, but there are worse times. At least the hospital that he landed at is a good one and the people that work there are dedicated and caring folks that seem to go the extra mile for their patients. The nurses were right on top of things and were easy on the eyes, if you know what I mean. There were a few that I ended up checking out pretty closely with their cute little nursing uniforms scrubs on with their comfortable sneakers running here and there trying to keep up with the demands of their patients.

Way gone are the days (thank goodness) that the nursing staff only wears the boring white nurse uniforms of the past. Now a days they have a large variety of scrub clothing that they can mix and match and come off looking pretty good. Not that there was anything wrong with the old uniforms, mind you. You can get good quality medical uniforms at site like http://www.blueskyscrubs.com/categories/Scrubs/.

Oh yeah, my buddy is doing fine and should be home by the end of the week.

Toronto Escorts To Keep You Warm

Posted by Santi on December 2, 2011 Comments Off

Late night cruising on the Internet lands me in some of the most off the wall sites that I never would have thought to visit any other time. You know how it is, you start clicking here and there and next thing you know you are totally somewhere else and can’t even figure out how it all happened.

Such is the case tonight when I somehow landed on a Toronto Escorts agency site, which I have to say it a pretty nice looking Escorts in Toronto site, all things considered. Don’t get me wrong I have no issue with escort services, it’s just that I’m not used to seeing them online, all though I really shouldn’t be surprised considering all that the Internet brings to us all these days.

I don’t think that I will ever get the chance to visit Canada in my life time, but I do enjoy seeing and checking out various websites from all over our northern friends just across the border. At least I can understand the language, unlike a lot of other countries that I haven’t a clue as to what is going on.

Old Friends And Co Workers On FaceBook

Posted by Santi on December 2, 2011 Comments Off

I have really enjoyed finally getting on and learning my way around FaceBook. There have so many benefits that I have found for having a FaceBook account that I can’t imagine not having this type of social media at my finger tips anymore. Not that I spend a whole lot of time on there but once a day I sign in and see what is going on with friends and family all over the country, and a few over seas. I still have a few things to learn that I am struggling with but with time I do believe I will have most of it under control.

Last night I spend some time online looking for folks that I used to work with at a large national insurance company back in the 90′s and I was surprised that I actually found a few that are on FaceBook as well. The one guy that I really wanted to find again has a very unique name, so only took a few minutes to locate him. When I worked with him he was going to college to study law, working full time as a claims rep and being a single dad to a pretty little 3 year old, who is now a drop dead gorgeous 20 year old, according to the pictures on his Wall. He is now a technology lawyer in Washington D.C. working for a large well known international e-commerce law firm and doing very well for himself. Still not married, but living the life of Riley I would imagine. Making good money, living in the big city, tall, dark and handsome, heck ya.

All of the other folks that I found have not responded to my friend request yet. But I’m hoping that over the weekend they will sign on and see that I’m waiting to hear from them. I hope that they recognize my name after all of these years. I wish FaceBook would let you send a comment along with their friend requests, that would save a lot of time, effort and possible trouble, if you know what I mean.
