G15 and BB Radio

Dmodegirl — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 06:14:00 +0000

Today has been a really good day so far, especially since it’s a paid holiday for me and I also have weekends off. I’ve been playing UT3 and I still had my HP keyboard which is nice but it’s not a gaming keyboard. So I hitched a ride with the hubby to Fry’s since he was going there and I got myself a Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard.

Oh and while I was there I picked up a copy of Gold’s Gym Cardio Workout for the Wii. I have to get myself ready for some upcoming events that I want to look my best for.

Then after all that came my favorite thing of all that will save me at least $200 and it was FREE! Okay maybe I should explain myself before I get too excited. I currently have a Zune 30, hubby is tempting me with his Zune 120 which I really need more than 30gb. Anyways I caught wind that MS is getting ready to release the Zune HD mp3 player that has HD Radio on it and I need clear AM reception for my talk shows and my walkman radio isn’t that great for AM. Well I was curious to hear the quality of a BlackBerry app called IHeartRadio. I heard it advertised on my fave AM station so I knew that wasn’t a problem so I decided to check it out and download it to my BB. Let me just say it was crystal clear streaming radio! I love it and now I will be getting the Zune 120 instead of the Zune HD which will cost a pretty penny and I don’t even know if it will pick up all HD stations. Besides the HD 32gb will cost about $50 more than the Zune 120 from what I hear and if 30gb isn’t enough I know 2 more isn’t going to be much help. So if you’re a BB lover go check out the link I just mentioned and try it out on your BB.

Blue Sam is the Man!

I’m an avid audio book listener and while I adore my Zune 30 I’ve always hated that it didn’t have resume capabilities for audio books. Well that is now officially a worry of the past thanks to my tech hero of the day, Blue Sam! He has a very simple audio book to podcast Zune hack for audio book lovers and it doesn’t cost a thing and takes mere seconds to do. I am truly grateful of people like Sam who make me love my Zune a little more. The only downfall is you won’t have the book cover unless you actually go through the podcast rss steps and at that point you won’t need this hack but you might have some legal problems if the book is under copyright. So I can deal with no book cover so long as I have my coveted resume feature.

Now I just need to upgrade to the Zune 120 thanks to my dear hubby and sister mocking my old school 1st gen Zune 30. I probably should bite the bullet and upgrade since I have to keep removing things to upload more.

Thanks again Blue Sam!

Shiny new toy!

That’s right, I’ve got a new toy and it makes calls and more! I ordered it on Valentine’s Day, yes for myself because I’m worth it, anyways I got it that following Friday and I love it! Oh I guess it helps if I say which phone I got doesn’t it, lol! I got T-mobile’s new Blackberry Curve 8900 and it rocks! I had the BB Pearl, without the BB service and it was alright but I went all out on this new baby and there is a reason its called a “crackberry”, its so damn addicting and fun.

Now all I need is to find the right app so I blog from the phone, I don’t think that will be a regular even as I still have a minor dislocated thumb issue. Don’t worry I’ll get it fixed it soon, hell it took the them so long to find the problem that I’ve adapted to it though it is painful at times. Luckily I was blessed with a high tolerance to pain, hmm is that really luck or a possible double edged sword to endure that much pain. Something to ponder the next time I get really bored…

Shiny gadgets and software

Well I succombed to the pressure, I know it was basically my own pressure but still. Anyways, I am now the proud owner of a shiny new black Zune mp3 player, and yes I uploaded a Daniel Craig Casino Royale pic for the background.

I know by now you’re thinking I’ve gone mad wasting my money on something I was upset about yesterday that doesn’t play the type of media I usually download. Well I discovered the greatest little software that alters those pesky DRM files to mp3’s lickity split! If you have an iPod or Zune and have been frustrated that it doesn’t let you play certain DRM files I highly suggest getting SoundTaxi Pro! It’s only $25 but it’s faster than their cheaper version that only does 2 files at a time at 6x speed.

So I’m off to finishing uploading more goodies to my new shiny baby!
