any suggestions?
According to the geeks

suggest a freeware to convert VOB to WMV OR AVI

this one is the best:

I am so ignorant (sp) of so much of this technology stuff. I am lucky to be able to load music on my mp3. I fact I have not done that in so long I will have to relearn that soon.

Thanks Lisa! dont know why I didnt think to google it. It is a lot more technical than I imagined, it is crunching the files as we speak. The tutorial told me that it could take up to 24 hrs to converta full 2 hr movie. I only selected a 6 minute file to convert, so we'll see how long it will be.

Brandon- Hope you get the video converted fairly quickly!

Okay....here's my entry. It's a halfway decent picture of me considering we had a 14 hr labor, it's also the PROUDEST moment of my life!

You know, holding a cute baby is cheating. Some guys on here don't have cute baby girls to sway the opinion of the judges...

Besides we need to see more skin than that.

Should we do it by age group since we have guys from 15 to 65?

Hmm, perhaps..but you know, some of the more mature guys around here can hold up in hotness next to their younger competitors. Just look at Dan for example.

Also, you know as well as I do that a nice face isn't the only thing at play here. Maybe we should rename it the "hotness" contest. I've met some guys with Southern accents and a gentle way to them that were so stinkin hot I didn't know what to do with myself..and they weren't what you'd traditionally call "cute".

We should consider other hotness factors beyond just outward appearances.
