Mad Math…

Wow! I’ve been telling people for quite some time that Blogomania hosts over 300 clients. I just did the math, and it’s actually a bit higher than that – 371! Whoo hoo! I guess I need to do the math more often.

Need hosting a new host? What are you waiting for? Come and join us!

Go Astros!

I didn’t watch the Astros’ game earlier because I am one of those “I jinx the team” people – if I watch the game, they are sure to lose. I couldn’t handle that responsibility, considering this is the first time in many years that the Astros have gone this far post season. I was stunned when I pulled up the game stats and learned that we allowed the Cardinals *one* hit tonight. One hit. Granted, we only got 3 hits, but we won. 3-0. I’m stunned.

Go Astros! I’ll still be stunned if you make it to the World Series, because you know how Houston teams are. But I really hope you prove me wrong.

Do You iTune?

I’ve been using iTunes 4.1 for quite some time. Problem is, now I want to wipe my iPod clean and start fresh because it has some buggy issues at times. (Screens freezing in slide transitions, etc.) I’m hoping that with a quick reformat, it will heal itself. Only problem is, in order to use the iPod Updater to reformat, I need to upgrade my iTunes software to version 4.6.

Is that a big deal?

One of my main reasons to hesitate on this is how iTunes marries itself to your iPod and your computer – at least from what I have heard. There are at least 3 computers here that I might use at any given time to update my iPod, and I don’t want to be locked down. (I would probably use the laptop, but it really needs to go in for repair soon to fix the whole delete key issue, so I’m trying to plan ahead.) I recall reading a great post that Matt wrote about this when iTunes made the change, but I can’t find it now. found right here.

Added to the mix, we keep all of our mp3s on our main computer, but Mike has music that I don’t want on the iPod (sorry, but Irish fiddle music just isn’t my thing normally. Or Japanese drums. He has a lot of both of those.) so I don’t want to have to put everything on the iPod. I don’t think I would have to, but just in case. I don’t want my sync with the PC to jack with the existing music collection there. Again, I don’t think it will – but you have to preplan for these things.

What have been your experience with iTunes? Anyone using one iPod with two computers? Are there problems? I would love your feedback. Oh, and I’m considering Anapod because drag & drop just sounds easier than dealing with iTunes. Feel free to share feedback on Anapod too if you have any. And thank you for your help.

You Drop the Bomb on Me…

The latest Jeep Cherokee commercial has a rather interesting disclaimer at the bottom after a Jeep comes flying out of a volcano:

“Dropping a vehicle is only safe in commercials”

Uhm, yeah. Ok, if you say so. Because really, commercials are pretty similar to reality, and I don’t think dropping a vehicle is truly safe any time, is it?
