Straight from the Lam’s Mouth

Amy stock and my brother come to visit me

Hey everyone who reads this. I know there hasn't been a lot of personal stuff written lately, so allow me to update you on my life. I have been spending a lot of time with Shannon recently because she is going off to law school at NYU soon. And if what I hear about first-year law school is true, then I won't be seeing a lot of her for sometime. This past Sunday was my 22nd birthday, woohoo. Don't worry if you didn't remember, just login to Facebook more frequently next year. haha. But seriously you could still buy me something from my Amazon.com wishlist. I had my mid-year review recently, and I have been at ESPN for 90 days (which was the length of the evaluation period where they decide if they made a mistake hiring you). Yay for partial job security. My major project now is Football Gamecast for NFL and College. If you anyone has suggestions for improvements or bugs let me know.

"Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur." Translation: Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.

Read about it on wcco.com (local news of Minneapolis) "On March 30, Minnesota Timberwolves center Eddie Griffin was drunk and masturbating [to a porno on his DVD player in his front dash] when he crashed his luxury SUV into a parked Suburban outside a store in Minneapolis, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday by the man whose Suburban was hit in the crash."

Who is the Duke University Blue Devil? This is a question many have wondered. Well today I have proof that the Blue Devil is the one and only Charlie Suwankosai. Yes I know; it is hard to believe that mild-mannered Charlie is an engineer by day and the mascot by night.

Read here at apple.com if you want to backup one library and transfer it to a new computer. It is easy to put songs on an iPod. But Apple makes it impossible to get songs off your iPod back into your iTunes library. Why would you want to do this? Maybe you bought a new computer or more likely messed up your old computer. You definitely don't backup your iTunes library like you should. So your only backup is on your iPod. You can't sync your iPod with your iTunes because if you do then it will erase everything that is currently on your iPod. So the new music you have on your computer you can't put on your iPod, and you can't put your old music from your iPod into your iTunes. The solution has arrived. If you are using Mac OS X, then Senuti is the best option (and it's free!). Note: If you didn't realize it is iTunes spelled backwards, very clever. All you need to do is download the program, plug in your iPod, open Senuti, wait for it to recognize your iPod, select your iPod or specific playlist/songs, then hit File -> copy to iTunes library. Wait for a while for the songs to transfer, and booyah. If you are on Windows, then I sympathize. But there is also a solution for you. It is called ephPod (also works with Linux). This program is less intuitive to use and also unstable at times, but it is more full-featured. For instance you can put songs onto your iPod with this program, but you have iTunes for that right? (unless you are on Linux, in which case you are only torturing yourself).

Do you have 2 macs? For example, one at work and one at home. Then you are probably interested in being able to keep both those libraries in sync. Apple does not support a simplistic way of using your iPod to sync both libraries because of the possibility of someone taking their iPod to their friends house and copying all their music to their own library (in other words, they want to keep the RIAA happy by making it hard to use the iPod to pirate music). But there are legitimate reasons! Which I have illustrated above. Now onto the good part... iPod.iTunes by crispSofties "iPod.iTunes evaluates the source for songs, videos and/or playlists that are not in the target and only adds these seamlessly, avoiding duplicates, saving your time. Unlike iTunes' "auto update" function iPod.iTunes generally does not delete content in the target. iPod.iTunes can also transfer song dependend data like "My Rating", "Last Played", "Play Count", album artwork, etc..." So basically you can sync your home library to your iPod, then go to work and sync your iPod with your work library. Then all three will be in perfect harmony, iPod, home iTunes, and work iTunes. Amazing.

Remember the old BC walkway? Well it is gone, and the new student plaza just opened.

Give your special lady a pearl necklace this weekend. She deserves one ;)
