This is awesome! It allows you to convert files from one type to another without having to install any expensive programs. Its all free and its done online. The process is pretty simple and it actually works.
It may not be full of fancy features but it did the trick of converting a PDF file into a Word document for me. So it was worth every penny that I didn’t pay. I highly recommend adding this to your favorites for future reference.
So you go to their site, you browse to your local system to find the file you want to convert. You then select the type of file you want it converted to and specify an e-mail address that will receive the link to download the newly converted file. Pretty nifty if you ask me. Check it out!

Wow, it even does media files. Granted there is a 100 mb limit but if you don’t need more than that then this is great for that too.
muychingon.com will be funky for a bit while I upgrade it to the latest wp version and while I figure out what happened to my theme. For now this is the only premade theme I could find that works. 
**quick update. The guys are still out there “swirling” around an imaginary center, showing their signs to the few people that ever pass by this area. Very efficient. LOL. This is happening in Irvine, Near John Wayne Airport, Von Karman & Campus are the big cross streets. If you know where the Irvine Museum is… this is directly across from it. Cops are still keeping an eye on things.

So check out what I found upon my arrival to work this morning.
Tons of cops
a lot of angry carpenters
Not really sure whats going on. Its not clear whether this is a full blown strike or just a protest. I overheard something about being underpaid.
CopSpy.com - Speed Trap Exchange - CA
This is a cool site, although it seems to be overtaken by a spammer or some funky bot answering
“Comment (01/2007): I have witnessed this twice, and have twice myself committed this violation and have not been caught for it even though I saw a cop in a car… I need to be more careful.”
With every post. Weird. But anyway, the concept is cool and if there was actually any science to it, it would be cooler. Like a system tracking viewings over a period of time, and if it plotted them over to google maps. For now, you’re bound to see only what other people get to see, so it could be biased at a number of different angles. Check it out, maybe if enough people use it, it will evolve into something more useful. Its fun to see where people have seen cops.
Forget the stairs, who wants to climb any number of floors up to an office? And the elevator? so… eh… mechanical. This would be much better. At least in the way down! This is so cool… I want to know where this is. Somehow I doubt its in the U.S.
So Hilary is now running for President of the U.S. And the first thing I was thinking about is , what do you call the husband of a female president. If more women run for the presidency and actually win, would “he” be refered to as the First Man? Just one of those things I ponder. In this case, Bill Clinton will just always be refered to as former President Bill Clinton, or simply President Bill Clinton. But this is an unusual case.
First man? First husband? First Man-bitch? Who knows.
Later this week, a 1971 Plymouth will go on the auction block in Phoenix, Ariz. The car’s estimated value is $5 million. Collector car insurance company polls its customers to find out what collectors will want in 2027.
If I were to guess a few, I’d guess that the Prius would be in the list along with that tesla motor electric sports car. Possibly a Hummer the new IS2/350, an m3, the Z.
Just two days ago California fire department authorities pinned the blame of damaging hotel fire on a malfunctioning cellphone battery, but after further inspection, it seems that the mobile’s battery isn’t the culprit after all. Read on…
Didn’t the Mythbusters “bust” this one already anyway? Turned out to be almost impossible right?
Sun is cutting their support prices back significantly to compete with Linux’s current leaders. It seems that you will no longer have to pay exorbitant rates for solaris support. Apparently up to 50% less than RedHat’s prices.
Tomorrow Fox will air the crazy psycho lady from last year. The big lady that cursed at everyone as if they were the devil? remember her? She’s back. I can’t wait to see this, LOL. Fox11.
She called herself the GodWarrior! She’s back Trading Spouses at 9:00 tomorrow. Hahaha, I can’t believe I just posted that here… but yeah that lady is absolutely psycho. Apparently she underwent gastric-bypass and she is going to trade again. Marguerite Perrin will be trading with a socially conscious mom who homeschools her 7-year-old daughter. We shall see if we get anything as good as the first time around. (Somehow I doubt it will ever be as good, but you never know)
Here’s the video that made her famous.
