I stepped outside, prepared to do battle with the high wind and blowing snow only to be blinded by clear blue, sunny skies. Le sigh. It&#8217;s still cold and windy, but it&#8217;s just <b>weird<\/b> to go from the wicked weather this morning to calm and sunny a few hours later.<\/p>\n<p>If anyone out there on the Tubes has suggestions for a decent (and by decent I mean free) video converter that will convert .asf files into .mov files, can you email me or leave a comment or something? Or if you know why a Sony DXG 506v digicam doesn&#8217;t seem to come with the right codecs to display video shot in .mov format, can you let me in on the secret? I&#8217;ve googled til I can google no more and can&#8217;t figure out the issue and it&#8217;s the only thing about my little cam that pisses me off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The weather in this crazy state does my head in.
