I got a new iPod video yesterday and I am really amazed at the sound and picture quality. 
This is a gift to me from my sister and brother-in-law. Thanks guys! I owe you a lot.
I have a few video song DVDs and I wished that I could load them up in my iPod easily. A search on the internet found me Videora iPod converter. I would say that it is the best video converter software I have ever used. It is so simple to use and it simply works the way I want it to be. IPod plays only a few file formats and Videora easily converts .vob files to .mp4 files in minutes. After converting the files to mp4 format, I fired up iTunes and loaded all the videos into my iPod. The clarity and sound synchronisation was amazing. I am really hooked up with the videos videora churns out.
I would not prefer to use ITunes for mp3 songs as it locks up the songs once they are into the iPod. A quick search on the internet fetched me yamipod. The only freeware for songs management in iPod using a PC. Spent a few minutes with yamipod and got myself familiar into creating playlists and loading up all my mp3 collection. No more worries about music getting locked in iPod. Yamipod has both the option to copy music into and from iPod without locking up the music. And moreover, it simply works in z PC. All my praise goes to Tomas , the guy who coded this small application. Kudos Tomas!
As I wanted to do more with my iPod than music and video , I worked a bit to integrate my google calendar and tada! did it . Downloaded all my calendars from google into the calendars folder in iPod. Now I have the FIFA Worldcup 2006 schedule , ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 Schedule , my office shift schedule etc;
A few more hours on the internet taught me to use the notes feature in iPod. I stumbled upon a site which hosts free iPod eBooks. A few clicks got the ebooks like How to Speak and Write Correctly by Joseph Devlin , The World War and What was Behind It by Louis P. Benezet (86) into my iPod. The one feature I have yet to dig is the photos. I hope to work on it by tomorrow morning.
Overall, I will say that iPod video is really a awesome product with extra feture other than music and video. Only thing is that, people should know how to and where to find hacks and resources for it.

When I initially started this blog , I was very much attracted to the concept of adsense and making money out of it. I started to explore the world of google adsense and added all the codes and buttons given in my google adsense account. I even went ahead and signed up with Yahoo , Amazon as affiliate and filled up my site with their buttons too. After all these , I went to bed thinking that I will be a billionaire or atleast a millionaire in a few months.
In the next few days, reality struck and I understood that filling up site with adsense codes and buttons does not bring visitors and it is the content that brings people to the site. My site looked terrible with buttons and ads flashing all over the place. Took help from Balaji and cleaned it up a bit. Now, I just have a single adsense code in my site. I don’t want to irritate my visitors anymore. Now I feel that adsense definitely adds sense.
Good news for those who reside in the USA. Skype, the well known free PC to PC VOIP calls provider is now offering free calls to any land line or mobile phones in the US. 
But, the offer is till the end of this year. Whatever, who would want to spend a penny when they can call a real telephone number for free with skype? For the rest of the souls residing outside US, Skype does not offer this but the calls to the toll-free numbers in the US still remains free. A day is soon going to come when all the people throw out their mobiles and buy a Skype smart phone which will work out of internet. No more numbers to call. Just pick up your skype phone and dial your buddy’s name. No more roaming charges, all the world is yours. Get your bum around a wireless hotspot and start skyping. This will be even more great when every part of the world has free wireless internet connectivity.
