XShot at North Bowl
Photo-A-Day #1359

Today Allison and I had a lazy indoors day. We put together the kitchen set that Nate and Sarah got for Eva. That was a morning project and we got it finished. We also watched a few more episodes of Sanctuary (a Sci -Fi Channel show that has been accumulating on our DVR since Halloween). We bummed around and I took a nice long afternoon nap too. Read some of Brisnger and then got ready to go bowling with some friends.

We went to North Bowl for our Bowling night. North Bowl has been around North Attleboro for a very long time and recently they underwent a massive upgrade. They put in new floors, high backed booths on the lane floor and video scoring. The place looks and feels great, very professional. We went in and got a drink and waited for our friends.

Once a good number of people arrived we got our lanes and started bowling. The computerized lanes were great you could even set it so that certain bowlers automatically got bumpers when they took their turns. I was in charge of the computer because no one else had a clue as to how to use it. So I set up both sides and set bumpers on a few people. We had a lot of fun and then a smaller group of us went for a late dinner. But not before I got this group shot using my XShot 2.0. I had a few people ask about it and what it was too. I love using this gadget because you can get a group shot like this without anyone else’s help.

Neil, Andrea, Derek, Michelle, Jimmy, Kathy, Allison and I ended up over at Piccadilly Pub for a late dinner. I like the ‘Pic for their burgers, they are not as good as Red Robin but the wait at RR was over an hour and a half, no thanks. But the Pic burgers were decent and we had a very nice time with everyone. We laughed, told stories and jokes and just enjoyed each other’s company. It was a really nice night. I got camera envy right now, Andrea got a Nikon D90. I dared not play with it too much as we have to save and a new camera is just not in the cards for a while. Besides I need a flash 1st.

I do think that we probably got Derek and Michelle excited about getting iPod Touches though. They seemed quite taken with ours.

iTunes Movie Rentals

6 Comments

I rented my 1st movie from iTunes on the 13th. I thought I could transfer it to my iPod classic but apparently I could not. I was disappointed to say the least. Today I connected my iPod Touch to the computer and set it up for the 1st time ever. This is a sweet product. I received it from coComment for integrating my blogs with the coComment system for my comments. I do a full on review of the iPod Touch as soon as I play around with it.

The movie rental. When I connected the iPod Touch and began syncing a few things. Some podcasts, some music and a few other things (it is only 8GB so I had to pick and choose, so far for size I still like the classic.) I was also able to transfer the rented movie to the iPod Touch. So I did. Then I went and upgraded the iPod Touch software and lost the movie. I contacted iTunes and within minutes they helped me get the movie back. That is the kind of customer service that makes me take notice. I was very impressed.
