Cable and earbud management
The Youtube example showcased tying earbuds around the first gen of the iPod shuffle. I tried it myself, and it’s a practical saver.
Finally I can avoid those embarrassing moments of taking forever to untangle my iPod earbuds while trying to stay balanced on the bus.
At home I don’t have as many hard-drives as the large amount at work.
Under my desk at work, I’ve accidentally knocked out my internet connection because the hub is loosely sitting on the floor….
While I’m figuring out which cheap “cable-management” system I should implement in the office, in the meanwhile check out ways you can de-clutter your cables in your workspace.
Blu-Ray + Digital Copies?
Okay, so I’m a bit down on the ‘revised’ Digital Copyright Act for Canada.
Downloading= illegal?
Can someone send me some links about this revision?
Anyways, looking towards other alternatives to legal downloads or aquirement of digital assets and entertainment, I smiled as I was reading a recent post on Terry White’s blog about Blu-Ray and Digital Copy.
Technically, ripping DVDs to a portable media player’s format is frowned upon.
I’m wondering about the popularity of this choice to have both copies of the movie in Hi-Def (Blue-Ray) format and standard def (especially for my iPod or portable DVD player that doesn’t play in Hi-Def).
I was looking for the availability of the DVD Terry White featured that offered both Blu-Ray and Standard Def format on Amazon.ca.
Note:
Yes, Amazon DOT C A.
Remembering the day that Steve Jobs announced that movies were to be available in iTunes, I quickly was dismayed as I reinstalled my iTunes and found that movies were only allowed to be offered in the States.

Hmmm, doesn’t look like the same image of the DVD cover on Terry White’s blog until I realized that it was just a Standard Def- DVD.

Had to look under the Blu-Ray DVD section.
I looked through the text-details and found that there wasn’t an indication that this edition also offered a “Digital Copy”. Only by the image with the “Digital Copy” sticker was how I was able to distinguish that the DVD offers a Digital Copy.
I’m hoping that really soon that movies can be searchable by formats.
Especially “Digital Copy” so I can have movies to watch while commuting to and from work.
Vancouver’s own Apple Store at Pacific Centre
Only one word to describe this-
SWEET!
Above is a mass email sent to all subscribers to Apple.
Will you be one of the first 1,000 people to grab a free Apple tee?
I wonder if it’s a special tee to commemorate the moment? Or will it be the usual black tee with the Apple logo on the front? I don’t know whether to choose to sleep in or run over at 10am to be part of the opening.
We’ll see.

Isn’t it funny how I never went to visit the H&M in Coquitlam when it opened this past year?
My first H&M purchase was actually made surprisingly in Manhattan, New York this January.
From the H&M near by Madison Square Gardens, back I came to Vancouver with a cute set of polka-dotted intimates.
If you’re not working Thursday and you’re a big fan of H&M, be at Pacific Centre on Thursday May 22nd as one of the first 250 people at the noon ribbon-cutting and you can get a gift card worth $10 – $200.
Pacific Centre shoppers, please watch out and step away from the shoving masses.
We don’t want anyone to get hurt.
