  Winter Wonderland

  Winter has arrived with a vengeance. We got about half a foot of snow. While it looks beautiful....the driving is not the best. For some reason I cannot fathom Pittsburgh has difficulty with snow removal on the roads. I've lived in cities that receive more snow regularly and the roads are cleaned ASAP. And then their is the shoveling. If possible when purchasing/renting....definitely avoid corner houses. And if you can get a place without sidewalks....so much the better. I think I need a snow blower.

  In other news I've finished Christmas shopping. Just have a few stocking stuffers left and a couple checks to write. Yay! Thanks for reading.....

  Happy Thanksgiving and itunes query...

  ...to those that celebrate. Happy Thursday to everyone else.

  Anyone ever run into this issue with itunes? I have a CD I burned to my computer through itunes so I could put it on my touch. There are ten tracks in total but itunes in all it's wisdom lists the last song separately even though it recognizes ten songs. The only way I can get all ten songs synced on my touch is if I check the artist twice. For some reason it now as that artist down twice in the list. But then I get two copies of the CD on my touch which takes up space that I would rather use instead of having the two copies. Any ideas would be appreciated.

  We have snow in the forecast for this weekend. Time to start the holiday shopping (but NOT tomorrow).

  Take it easy....

  Peace and friendship with all mankind is our wisest policy, and I wish we may be permitted to pursue it.

  Touch Me....

  Last night I broke down and bought an iPod touch...32 GB. It's enough space for what I want to use it for and it will take me some time to fill up. (More time than I thought. What a time consuming way to put my CD's on an MP3.) I have to spend the day importing CD's to my computer. Then to the Touch.

  It makes me miss and appreciate my Creative though. They import straight from the CD to the MP3. But the new Creative with touch seems to have some issues. I can not currently find my Creative and it has my Skullcandy Ink'd on it. Either I find it or buy a new pair. The headset with the Touch looks incredibly cheap. But my Creative was only 4 GB and I need more room. So I purchased a new MP3.

  Using iTunes to burn I have come across errors in song titles. Which annoys me. I've also had iTunes burn tracks out of album order. *sigh* I bought a wireless transmitter so I can use it in my car without dragging my CD's all the time. In time I might get a permanent connection installed. Depending on who well this works....and how well I like the iPod.

  I'm assuming it will pay off in the end. It does look sleek. Though I need a Wi-fi now. Yeah I'm behind in most things. Still haven't connected my PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii up either. Pfft...I never put my Xbox on line. Anyway, those who have an iPod....it is a good purchase...right?

  Thanks for reading....and remember...
