Is it heartburn or death knocking on your chest?

I haven't been posting lately because redoing my entire itunes library onto my Laptop is proving to be quite a daunting task. Its pretty much taken me about a week to get to this point. Write now im working on editing the titles for all the songs. Right now most of the songs have extra information I don't want in the title. After this I still have to find all the album art for the songs. So I'm probably going to be working on that for the weekend.

As you may be able to tell something else has been bothering me lately. Sometime earlier this week I started feeling pains in my chest. It wasn't so much of a sharp pain more like pressure on the middle of my chest. Its been more annoying then anything else. When it started it only seemed to happen when I was sitting in my chair at work. When I would get up and walk around it would go away. Also when I ate something it would also go away for a little while.

But lately its been appearing more often. So I have set up an appointment with my new doctor next Tuesday. Its been awhile since I've gone in for a check up. And by awhile I mean I can even remember the last time I had one. So I'm not exactly looking forward to find out exactly how destroyed my body actually is. Ignorance has been very bliss for me so far. But I guess I will no longer to be able to enjoy that bliss anymore.

Now that this has become such a problem I decided to use the internets to try and see if I was making this mole hill into a mountain. That was not a good idea after coming from such bliss. Pretty much every link I saw with my search basically said heart disease or heart attack. Not exactly what I was hoping for. But then again I'm not exactly surprised at all. However, now I'm extra worried to the point that this weekend is probably not going to be as relaxing as I originally hoped.

I hope the results from any testing I have done on Tuesday are not to bad. But if they are I may just have to rush my Memento Mori list.

The Lazy Perfecitonist vs. the iphone

I've come to the realization that I'm a lazy perfectionist. By that I mean I'm basically a pretty lazy person unless I have some specific task that needs to be done. And when that happens my perfectionist side kicks in. It then turns a small 5 minute task into a whole day project.

Case in point as I said before I just bought an iphone. Its still awesome by the way. Well the thing is I already own an ipod touch which is basically the same thing minus the phone and camera. So my plan was just to take the music off the touch and put it on the iphone. Well if any of you have ever tried to transfer the music off an ipod onto another ipod then you would know that it can be an incredibly big pain in the ass. And with the ipod touch and iphone its twice as bad because Apple decided in there infinite wisdom that they should change how the filing system should work. This means that when its connected into a computer the it won't be detected as its own separate drive as it does on older ipods. When the ipod is detected as a disk drive on the computer its easier to move files around.

So now I have an ipod and iphone that are going to be a pain to move music between. I found a few programs that might be able to do it somewhat. I would probably lose my playlist and album art.

Speaking of album art when I originally bought my ipod touch I had to go through this with my ipod nano. At that time I didn't have any album art for my songs because the screen on the nano was so small that it wasn't worth the effort when no one could see it unless they were looking really close and even then you couldn't really see it that well. So when I was transferring the songs over to the ipod touch I decided to find all the album art. Well I didn't expect it to be that bad. It end up taking me about a week to finish.

That brings us to the present and now I'm moving all the mp3 files from my desktop to my laptop. And since the mp3 files themselves are not actually associated with the album art it looks like once again I'll have to take the time to find and match up all the album art work all over again. So what that means is I really don't have time to write this entry. And with that I head back into the depths of mp3/itunes/ipod hell. Good Day

Sleek, sexy, its the iphone

So I just got my iphone and I must say it is quite a looker. I already have an ipod touch which is basically the same thing minus the phone and camera capabilities. While there was nothing wrong with the ipod touch I felt that I should probably try to consolidate some of the gadgets I have into one easy to carry phone. Currently I'm carrying my ipod touch for music, my camera for photos, and a phone that for making phone calls.

Now I know that the iphone is not the greatest camera but the fact that I always have my phone with me means that I will always have my camera handy as well. Also since my phone will also be my mp3 player I can cut down on the amount of things I have to carry with me. Plus like I said before the iphone itself is just plain sexy.

Also the other reason I decided to get an iphone was I was made an offer I couldn't refuse. While I was going through a the gadget blogs I look at I came across a post about AT&T offering the iphone for $249 with no contract. I thought it was to good to be true but I wasn't about to let this go with out looking into it. I used the link they had posted to the site when I got to the site it said that I needed to get a 2 year contract. I thought, "Oh Great" but when I read more about the offer I read that people were able to purchase the phone without doing the 2 year contract. So to make a long story a little shorter I was able to buy the phone without the contract.

I told my girlfriend about it but she was hesitant well actually she took some advice from her father who knows nothing about technology and didn't get it when I told her about it. So when she finally decided she wanted to get it it was to late. They probably had sold out by that time.

That made me wonder if they actually sold other refurb phones like that. Ones without a 2 year contract required. When i went back to the site and looked at the other refurb phones they all require the customer to purchase the plan before sending the phone out. It seems weird to me that they would sell a phone that only they carry without the contract. But I guess they have their own plans. As for me I've already unlocked mine and plan to go with tmobile as the carrier.

Hopefuly I will be able to take pictures and post to my blog on the fly. Thats the plan anyways we shall see how well that works out.
