It’s like everything was 7% off in Alberta. No PST and a 50 dollar gift card meant I had to buy a new iPod. I haven’t had any luck getting H.264 content created with mencoder working on it, yet.
Well, here I am. Taking a bus between Regina and Saskatoon for the third of four times in as many weeks. The ultimate goal: a new video iPod. Actually, it’s to take another trip to Fuddrucker’s. Oh, and my cousin and I are going to Edmonton to watch the Bruins. Seriously, though, It’s all three.
I’m really excited! I love Fuddrucker’s!
I gots me a new DVD player. A Polaroid PDV-0700K Portable DVD Player. I even found a way to make it region-free, using a built-in function on the player itself. I’m not going to tell you how, but I will say the number 1379 is important (I’m slightly surprised they didn’t use the number 1337; it means “elite” in hacker terminology). I might have a reason to go to the cottage more often now. My Dad finally received an iPod of his own (40GB version), so in much the same manner as the A&W Burger family, we are the Apple iPod family.
My brother and I gave each other board games. Risk: Lord of the Rings Trilogy for me, and HeroScape for him.
And as a late Christmas present, I bought myself a Kodak EasyShare DX7590 at BestBuy.ca for $570 CAD. Needless to say, I’m not going bargain hunting on Boxing Day today, as I think I found one yesterday.
More to come, time permitting.
