			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you played this cool new game called &#8220;Chocolatier?&#8221; I tried it on the free Yahoo game site. I usually play spades or sometimes cribbage or backgammon on Yahoo, but for some reason there was a little display ad about this new game and I went ahead and played it a few weeks ago just for the sake of trying something new.</p>
<p>You basically build a business empire making chocolates, and you have to travel the world collecting recipes and making deals to buy all the ingredients to make the chocolates, then you sell them. It has elements of problem solving and searching for clues in addition to business decisions &#8211; how much to buy? where to go next? which will be the best seller?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My step daughter got a Cricket phone when we refused to add her to our home account. We had to take a hard stand with her and stop helping her financially &#8211; she just took advantage of us over and over and I finally put my foot down and said no more money. So she has a Cricket phone that works three weeks out of the month &#8211; the last week of the month it always seems to get shut off for non-payment and we won&#8217;t give her the money to turn it back on. Aren&#8217;t we the big meanies?</p>
<p>So the days when she does have cell phone service, she has a ringtone that she downloaded and it plays in the ear of the person calling until she answers the phone of it goes to voicemail. I knew the ringtone had to be a rap song &#8211; she loves that stuff &#8211; but I&#8217;ve heard the song maybe 100 times and I can&#8217;t understand the words. Then it occurred to me that I can look up the lyrics for any rap song and also listen to free ringtone samples by going to the web site called rapartists.com.</p>
<p>I found the song she is using for her ringtone by Kanye West called &#8220;Touch the Sky.&#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Read on the Yahoo main page that Microsoft is stopping support of their Windows XP this summer. They expect everyone to upgrade to VISTA.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve heard a lot of people fussing about bugs in the VISTA program, but to be honest, I&#8217;ve been using VISTA for over a year and I love it. Knock on wood &#8211; I&#8217;ve not had any problems with it. There have been a couple of odd things, but usually when I restart the computer everything is back to the way it should be.</p>
<p>I think my only concern with the VISTA and the way I use my home PC is that sometimes I like to take a break and step away from the computer, leaving multiple windows open so I can resume my work later. But a few times when I come back to the computer, it has automatically downloaded updates and has restarted the computer on its own. So all my windows get closed and that ticks me off.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Corinne Bailey Rae put out her self titled hit album in 2006 and was nominated for three Grammy&#8217;s in 2007:</p>
<ul>
<li>Record of the Year</li>
<li>Song of the Year</li>
<li>Best New Artist</li>
</ul>
<p>One listen to her album and you immediately know why she has gotten so much acclaim. This woman has a great voice and a talent for songwriting &#8211; she wrote or co-wrote every song on the record. Her song, &#8220;Put Your Records On&#8221; makes me smile and hum along every time I hear it. Her other hit song, &#8220;Like a Star,&#8221; is so easy to listen to, time after time. I love her voice and her songs.</p>
<p>Sadly, song very bad has happened in her world these past couple of days. Her husband was found dead in their London home. I was so sorry to learn that and when I came across her album at the store today, I bought it. I hope this in some small way encourages her to get through these hard times and continue working on her singing career &#8211; she is a bright star who needs to shine.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This cool gadget is a pen and a computer all in one. With this pen, when your writings it also records audio so whenever you go back threw your note is plays the audio at the same time your reading the notes. A really cool idea and is worth getting for people who take a lot of notes like college students or working writing professionals. I guess if the police got used this pen when taking statements it might help fight crime to. A lot of great uses for the Livescribe Smartpen and I am looking forward to getting my hands on at least one of these pens when they hit the market early this year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I heard that Netflix will start to offer movie downloads soon which makes me happy because IÂ  am a Netflix user and now I can just download the movie instead of having to wait a couple fo days for it to arrive in the mail. I am really surprised that Blockbuster has not started allowing there customers to download movies but i guess they make so much money on late fees that it makes no sense to offer movie downloads. if you hav enot tried Netflix yet , well now you have more reason than ever to give it a try.</p>

<p>Now there is a way to take tivo along for the ride its easy and a free way to send television programs onto a computer or laptop. It&#8217;s available for both Mac and windows computers and works with several portable devices. to do this follow the instructions below</p>
<p>First, transfer recordings to your desktop or laptop.<br />
Consider it in-flight entertainment. After youâ€™ve downloaded and installed the TiVo Desktop software, you can begin sending shows to a networked computer in another room of the house or any wireless laptop. Then, transfer a selection of your TiVo favorites and youâ€™re off.Â <br />
Â </p>
<p>Then, save recordings to your mobile device<br />
Once the programs are transferred to a computer, the TiVoToGo software can encode them for a compatible handheld device. You can even schedule recordings and instruct the TiVoToGo software to automatically transfer new shows when they become available.<br />
Â <br />
Â <br />
Finally, burn recordings to a DVDâ€ <br />
You may want to archive your TiVoToGo playlists onto DVD discs for an airplane trip or a family outing in the minivan. To burn a TiVo playlist to DVD, you&#8217;ll need MyDVD from Sonic Solutions or Roxio Toast 8. Once burned, you can menu through them on any DVD player with the same great TiVo navigation you&#8217;ve come to expect on your home TV.</p>
<p>Thus far I love what I ve seen so far literally found it very useful for long trips with the kids because now I can take just about any movie on the go and it keeps them busy so I can drive. I am also very anxious to seeÂ it work on my laptop for my cming up business trip to Vegas.<br />
