And this time I am not hosting the contest. Nope, this is a contest through the blog ToastTheTrends- Electronics and Gadgets. The blog is fairly new so you might not have heard about it yet, however I have an I know that the blog is having a contest to Win an iPod!. The iPod in question is an iPod shuffle, I don’t have one of these but would really like to have one for those days when I don’t want to take the video iPod along with me. I can’t see myself running with my video iPod. Actually I can’t see myself running at all.
But I can see myself winning this iPod, or one of my readers winning it. Yes, you can enter the contest and try to win the iPod as well. The rules are on the blog, just click the Win an iPod! link. Follow the rules and you are entered in the contest. It is a random drawing and there needs to be 50 people at least to make this a contest happen. Why not sign up, you have nothing to lose and an iPod to win.
This was a sponsored post. I get paid to blog about the things I want to with PayPerPost. Read my disclosure policy. You can make money with your blog too, click on the referral button.
If you have an iPod like I do and you also have many DVD movies, boxed sets of TV seasons and whatnot then most likely you want to be able to watch those on your iPod. I learned about software called HandBrake that allows you to rip DVD movies into the MP4 format for play on an iPod.
This is very cool because there are some series of TV shows that I would really like to watch again but I travel so much so I can’t be hauling around DVD’s. I like to have my tech in a handheld format. Since I am already carrying an iPod and I use my iGo juice to charge it whenever needed I see no reason to haul around a portable DVD player, DVD’s and charger on top of all the things I am already hauling around.
Handbrake is open source so if you are a developer then you can write apps or widgets for the software. That is pretty cool, and the software right now is beta so if you are interested in getting a Beta copy to play around with then you can download that copy from the HandBrake Website.
I am looking forward to getting home and experimenting with this software. Then I can carry Wonderfalls and Firefly around with me if I would like. Special thanks to Cali Lewis on GeekBrief.tv for the heads up on this software.
