DJ, I was able to open my .3gp camera phone video files in Quicktime, but if iMovie doesn't like them, you can probably convert them to .mov with either MPEG Streamclip or ffmpegx. (Or Quicktime Pro, but thatll set you back $30 - the others I linked to are free.)
Wesley: Perhaps the whole point of this experiment is hair. Gunn: I vote he's not in charge.

I made a b.org bookmark on my iPhone home screen. It's so cute!

It peeves me that I can't create webclips on my iPod Touch without forking over $20 (which I'm not going to do - none of the apps included are cool enough to be worth the money). Way to fuck over your early adopters, Apple.

Yeah. I could watch it, I just couldn't edit or convert (need to edit, because a full 15 minutes of me and my sisters is pretty boring, but about 5 minutes of it is pure comedy gold).
Thank you Jessica! You are awesome!

iPhone 1.1.3 stole my custom ring tone! I forget the app thatlet me load it up. Dunno if it still works. Didn't notice until after I left home. This may prompt me to upgrade to the newest Garage Band.

Pissing off customers over $20 a pop? LAME! They need to get with the program.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Question about home internet setups....
Which i should preface by explaining that i'm a technopeasant. I am addicted to the internet, but pretty clueless about home setups. Last time i did utilities myself i had netzero free (and SLOOOOW) dialup and bunny ears for my 12" tv/vcr combo. That said.....
I'm moving this weekend and setting up utilities for the new place. My new place has two options for internet. I can shell out an extra ~$30/month to add 1.5 "high speed" internet on top of my new phone service via Qwest. Or i can shack up with comcast and pay ~30/month for basic cable and their version of high speed internet for six months of introductory rate, then add another $20/month for internet.
These are just base quotes. Qwest adds $5/month for renting a compatible modem. Comcast prolly adds even more for all kinds of essential extras like connection and boxes and whatever is necessary to make it compatible with my 2001 dell inspiron. I am so very confused. I don't need cable at all, but the internet is so very much faster than through the phone company. I don't really have $$$ for either option, but i want internet access enough to make it close to a necessity. Job search without net access would be agony!
The question being: do i follow my conscience and just piggyback on phone line, or go all yuppie and get cable in order to get cheaper, faster internet as a promotional add-on?

I don't know if it's an option, but I have dry loop DSL (i.e., with no phone line) through AT&T for about $20 a month and I'm pretty happy with it. I hear so many horror stories about Comcast that I shy away from it if there are other options.

Okay, thanks to Le Nubian talking me off the ledge, I checked for more updates and there was an iTunes update. so, now my nano is registered and connected to my computer, and I've put some music from my cds into my library and..... how the hell do I tell the music to go to my iPod? Is there a secret command, cause I sure don't see any big DOWNLOAD NOW button!?!
