Today I bought a new laptop. I’ve decided to name him Ed.

Ed is a Compaq Presario with Windows 7 and everything I think I’ll need for projects at work. I’m looking to take some outdated VHS training tapes we offer for rent and transfer them to digital movies we can either archive, burn to DVD, or put on our website.

At work I’m pretty much “the tech guy” on staff. The trick is to do these projects to help enhance my position at work without allowing myself to be taken advantage of. This is actually a pretty hard place for me to negotiate but I know my supervisor, who’s the most awesome person on earth, will help me navigate it successfully.

Anyway, I just updated WordPress for the site and I’m busy making sure I tweak Ed to ensure I have everything I need at my fingertips. Next up? Blackberry desktop software.

Hope everyone else is having a good weekend.
