I’m slowly going through my old blog posts and adding tags for different categories that didn’t exist when I started. What a pain in the ass. But it’s interesting to read the older posts, because I was more nervous about writing them and was still trying to discover how personal I could be on this public blog and still be comfortable.
Have I maintained a hint of geekiness in my blog? Is it inanely personal and boring? Or still too cold and impersonal? Do I blog too much about my damn cats? Should I just shut up now and write about something more interesting?
There’s now an easy-peasy way to convert your now-antiquated HD-DVDs into now-high-fashion Blu-Ray DVDs, according to a Wired How-To Wiki article.
(In the course of writing the subject line and that first sentence, I just used a record-breaking 10 hyphens… wow! Plus one for that sentence!)
Here’s the quick-and-dirty (I can’t stop using the hyphen! Augh!) process for each one:
- Rip the HD-DVD
- Burn to Blu-Ray
See how simple it is? All you geeks should be done by lunchtime.
Alternately, if your player and discs are still in pristine condition, you should pack them carefully back into their original packaging and put them on a closet shelf to allow for proper fermentation of nostalgic value. Unless you already have one there, you MOC collector.
If you still have some repressed anger about HD-DVD losing out in the end, you can put on your Wikipedian hat and add helpful and/or false information to the Wikipedia entries for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray.
