Month: December 2011

There are many great pay ware cd and dvd burning programs out there for OS X, however ones that are willing and able to burn DVD video are few and far between. Often video is either an afterthought or requires buying additional plugins. This is not so for a great little application that I just found today, Burn for OS X.

While it appears a little rough around the edges, and the documentation leaves a little bit to be desired, one of the many features include the ability to burn DVD video. It also will convert files over to the required MPEG2 format. I found that it worked wonders for my .mov file encoded with H264 in 720p glory.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

It is yet again time for the annual tradition of the family Christmas cards and along with that comes the family Christmas Card Letter and Photo. This year the photo is a selection from our 1 year anniversary visit to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.

Hopefully the Christmas Cards will be going out in the mail soon, and those of you who are on our list should be getting them shortly after that. If you don’t get one, either we forgot you, didn’t have your address, or just didn’t send you one 🙂 (Hey, postage is expensive!)

Christmas Letter 2011

With the winter travel season upon us yet again it is always handy to call 511 to check road and weather conditions before you venture out. For those who don’t know 511 is the shortcut to your state’s road weather and hazard hotline. However, what do you do if you want the next state over? Of course the first choice is to look it up online, google is always your friend. But if you are on the road and don’t have access to the net there still are the old fashioned 800 numbers that still work.

Below are a selection of the regional numbers from the Iowa State University mesonet.

Iowa : 800-288-1047
Illinois : 800-452-4368
Kansas : 800-585-7623
Minnesota : 800-542-0220
Missouri : 800-222-6400
Nebraska : 402-471-4533
South Dakota : 605-367-5707
Wisconsin : 800-762-3947

Of course, while you are at it you can always check out my weather summery page.

If you are using Google Mobile in “Microsoft Exchange” mode for your iphone, you will occasionally run into an odd error informing you that your password is not correct, it will say:

Password Incorrect
Enter the password for the exchange Account “Account Name”

Don’t worry, your password is still correct. For some reason you have caught the ire of google’s security captcha.  To cure your ills, go to a computer and point your web browser to https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha (or if you are feeling lazy http://goo.gl/phGwL)

You should find that all your problems go away and the nag screen will go away.
