Dear ChuckEgg: What is a MiFi mobile router hotspot?

The MiFi is very small, slim router that turns a 3G wireless phone signal into a 40 foot diameter Wi-Fi hotspot that can be shared by up to 5 computers or WiFi compatible devices.  You can use a MiFi mobile router to create a password-protected wireless hotspot for your computer, iPad, iPod Touch, personal media player, or any other WiFi compatible device.  You can use the MiFi to create a hotspot, or you can tether the MiFi to a single computer using a USB cable.

The MiFi 2200 mobile router has been available from Verizon and Sprint for some time, but Virgin Mobile is the first to offer the MiFi with no monthly contract and nationwide pay-as-you-go Internet for only $1 per day, with no monthly service contract (you’ll pay $10 for 10 days).  Virgin Mobile calls it the MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot.

The MiFi 2200 weighs only 2 ounces and is as small as several credit cards stacked on top of each other.  The MiFi’s internal battery will power your MiFi for up to 4 hours of Internet access, or 40 hours of standby time. For a continuously powered WiFi hotspot, you can connect the MiFi mobile router to an electrical outlet or to your computer’s USB port.

Dear ChuckEgg, Can you tell me how to rip an audiobook CD to MP3 files for my iPhone or MP3 player?

“Ripping” is the process of copying audio or video from one media form to another, such as copying a compact disc (CD) or Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) to a digital file on your hard drive. “Ripping” a CD to an MP3 file is easy after you’ve installed the popular free CDex software.

In the steps below, I’ll describe how you can quickly create great sounding, small MP3 files from your audiobook CDs.

When you rip CD’s, you can choose if you want the best sound quality possible, or if you want to sacrifice a bit of sound quality for smaller MP3 files – so that you can fit more songs on your MP3 player. If you’re ripping Audiobook CD’s, you can select options that will still make good sounding files, but they’ll be a fraction of the size of your music MP3 files.

This article describes how you can enjoy the collaborative advantages of the Online Google Calendar on your iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm or smartphone, but still have a printed calendar for your refrigerator, bulletin board, or back door.

I know,  it’s difficult to switch from your paper calendar to the Online Google Calendar.  And it”s difficult to switch from your printed daily planner to the online  Google Calendar on your iPhone, BlackBerry, PDA or smart phone.

This article describes how you can enjoy the collaborative advantages of the Online Google Calendar on your iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm or smartphone, but still have a printed calendar for your refrigerator, bulletin board, or back door.

Before we started using Google Calendar, we used the large desktop calendars that you can buy from Staples or other office supply stores. In our family, each of us typically update our calendar events from the Google Calendar website or from our smart phones; but, we still find it convenient to have a printed calendar on our door to the garage.    Although it’s good to have a family-synchronized calendar on each of our phones, it sometimes helps to be able to look at the paper calendar on the way out just to get a quick view of the next few days.    Also,  we can select individual components of our calendars and print a unique version of our combined calendar for my mother to post on her refrigerator (since she doesn’t use the Google Calendar online).

So, read on to see how to print a poster-sized Google Calendar.
