having problems with keeping up. first it's what DSL to order. which company to go with?? who's gonna screw us the least?? then stress over the Yamaha 5-disc changer we've had for a while. it's confused or broken or something. i'd planned to use the DVD/CD player in its absence, but on face value it doesn't have output jacks for both DVD sound and separate CD sound to a receiver. frankly i can't believe that's true, but i can't do any better. so now no CDs for the time being, at least through the actual stereo. i instead can play them through the DVD+TV route, which gives non-existent sound. no, there IS sound, but it's crap.

now the project is to dive back into the DVD-RW video camera my mom bought us at Xmas. it's has those small RW discs, which are meant to burn to a larger disc, thereby reusing the small discs (which i hear are something like $25.00/3). the prob, the pinche problem is that i can't seem to get anything done concerning extricating the data from the small disc and ripping it on the computer. as best as i can tell, it (the camera) doesn't come with a USB, b/c of course you're supposed to be able to rip the file straight off the minidisc into a file, but i can't seem to get ANYWHERE with that. frustration.

i'm 36 and there is many a person making their living at this shit, and it seems to have just passed me up.

oh, and my RIO mp3 (256) player that i've used for jogging, gymtime and morning commutes just up and quit. it's most certainly not a battery issue. it's just dead. so no thumpin' tunes to work out to. NPR is great for the mind, but does nothing for the body.

GGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I keep telling my wife I'm going to write a book on how technology does NOT make our lives easier. I come up with examples all the time.
