PSP media management

I have a love-hate relationship with Sony, but I have to admit, their media management software for the PSP is great.

We push a lot of media to the PSP - presentations, video clips, podcasts etc.  It is hands down the best multi-media presentation tool for one-on-ones.

And while there are some free tools out there to help re-code the files and manage Sony’s bizarre file naming system, they require way too much work and way too much time and trouble shooting.

I’d tried an early version of Sony’s software to mixed results, but this latest version is awesome.

It works, and works fast.  No more running 2 or more applications to handle re-coding and moving and file names. 

One interface -  drag, drop and go. 

It’s really fast on the re-coding side and will do batch files, two things that are critical.

In typical Sony fashion, the software is impossible to find on the Sony consumer site.

You’ll find it here on the Sony media software site.

Mac Battery Recall - Double Hit

As a recent Mac switcher I’ve come to realize that all the hype around the heavenly Mac is just that. Hype.

For instance, my days of cooking eggs of my charging MacBook Pro may be coming to an end.

I’m not saying the thing runs hot, I’m saying it runs HOT BABY.

Which may explain why both my batteries are on a recall list, apparently because, according to Apple, “they do not meet our high standards for battery performance.”

Which begs the question - just what is the high standard my batteries are not meeting ?

For instance, I’m pretty sure that if they ran just a few degrees hotter, I could use the back of my Mac to do some quick solder jobs around the house. That certainly would be a high standard of handy.

I’ll just have to wait for my new high standard batteries to find out what all the hype is really about, ’cause Apple certainly isn’t saying. So much for transparency.

If you own one of these, you might want to visit the Apple recall page.

Rogue Colour

We’ve got this crew of rogue poppies that have decided late August is the perfect time of year to show up.

It’s fantastic to see them colonizing the side of the drive way, insisting that summer has just started.

Everyone who pulls into the drive does a double take, trying to figure out if they’re real or not - they look so - perfect.

You Bet I’m Hot

I love this story. Short version:

Old guy juiced up with radioactive medical ‘tracer’ sets off alarms while crossing the border between BC and Washington State.

Is old guy going across the border as part of his medical treatments ?

Nope.

He’s on his way to a casino.
