U Pack Moving is a website that helps make moving much easier. They sell single moving boxes and moving bundles . You could buy 1 small box for $1.95 or you could buy a bundle of 25 and save $10.
As a person who moved for a living I know how expensive boxes can get every time you moved, especially if you moved around a lot. So it’s nice to see a company offering boxes so cheap. They sell small, medium and large U-Pack boxes, Wardrobe boxes, Dish pack boxes and storage file boxes all at low prices.
They are in Arkansas but they have a shipping map which shows a map of the United States and all areas are color coded to let you know how long it would take to reach you. I saw that it would take 3 days to reach me on the map but I typed in my zip code anyway and it confirmed that it would take 3 days.
They don’t just offer boxes though, they also sell bubble wrap, furniture pads, rope etc. All the things that you need for moving they sell. They will also move you. You can get a free moving quote. You just gotta pack it all yourself then they come and get you and your boxes and bring you to your new home.

Ok well, I’m really just stunned by this. You really have to read the article in the link provided at the top and watch the videos that are in that article.
This guy who holds these hate signs is very uneducated. He seriously thinks that god is going to destroy us much like he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. If that were true then Canada and Britain would be gone because they allow gay marriage. God hasn’t destroyed them.
He also seems to think that being gay is a choice and that he has been tempted and knew it was wrong so he chose not to act on it. … I don’t even know what to say to that. First of all, I don’t know any gay men or even any straight women who would be attracted to that. Pahleez ! Barf!
By making this sign he has threatened the lives of every LGBT person alive. Is that what god wants? Does god want people that he allegedly “created” to be hung because this guy doesn’t agree with how they live their lives?
He says in the video that it’s the same thing with people who have artificial insemination. So, women who have to have their husbands sperm artificially inseminated because their sex is not working to make them pregnant, despite the fact that they are straight are no better than gay people? Should they be hung too?
Him making and holding that sign makes him no better than a terrorist. That is indeed a terrorist threat. Isn’t this something that the cop standing behind him should be thinking about rather than guarding him? That cop needs to arrest him for making terrorist threats against people. People who are just doing what nature has told them to do, be themselves.
When I started to type this out I was speechless, I guess not.
I’ve finally figured out how to turn my PSP into an eBook reader. I’ve googled the term “PSPebook reader” before with bad results. You know, those homebrew programs. Yeah, that’s a bad result. I refuse to brick up my PSP just so I can see if I can read an e-book on it.
In my google search I did find a message board where they talked about a PSP e-book reader so I checked out a couple of ideas, this is one of them.
NIMS PSP Ebook Reader . This is a little different although not quite better. If you google the title you may find that it is found in homebrew websites. However, it does not need a homebrewed PSP to work. It does work with a regular PSP because all you are doing is loading an html file in your web browser as your reader then putting your e-book files in another folder.
It has a dos program that you run where it will convert PDF files. I tried it and the output was terrible. It wasn’t what I had hoped it would have been. It’s supposed to convert your pdf e-book file into html files along with some other files I don’t know. Anyway, it wasn’t good.
I did take their index file though and made my own little version of an e-book reader. I changed the text and gave it a background so it looks snazzy but it works better.
Ok here is what you do. File: PSP_ebook.zip This is safe, scan the file with your virus software, all it is, is a zip file with 2 files in it. 1) index.html file and 2) the background image. You unzip the files and put them in your PSP in the folder – PSP/books. You have to create that books folder. I did that to make it easier to find the file in your browser so you don’t have to type too much to find it.
When you buy ebooks you might be able to buy them in pdf format, if you can here is a sweet utility that will convert them to html. If the e-book store offers an html version then all the better for you because you won’t have to worry about converting anything.
When you have your html files of your ebooks you put them in your PSP in the folder – PSP/COMMON/books. You will have to create that books folder. When you open an e-book file you cannot choose to find them in the same location as the index file, they have to be in a higher folder like Common.
Now here is what you do. Go into the browser of your PSP, type this in the address bar:
file:/PSP/books/index.html
Now bookmark that so you don’t have to type it in every time. Now just click Browse, scroll down to /PSP/COMMON/books and click that then find the name of the book you uploaded into the PSP and click it and viola, your PSP is now an e-book reader.
There is a downside, you won’t be able to bookmark at all. Fortunately when you leave the browser, once you go back into it you will be right back where you left off. That is if you didn’t load an actual website which would close the point you stopped reading. If you did that then you would have to scroll down to where you left off at.
If your PDF had chapters with links then you can use those links to find the chapter you were on.
I give the NIMS program a 1 out of 5 for the fact that the e-book I chose to convert looked terrible as an e-book in my PSP. I give my conversion of their program a 4 out of 5 because it has no bookmarking ability but it works better than their idea.

“ PSP eBook Creator ” which is actually not a bad program. What you do is click File then open a “.txt” file, you can change it from portrait to landscape, change the background color or give it an image, change the text color, change the font, font size and make it bold or regular then create an output folder then build your e-book files. Once all the images are made all you need to do is upload the folder to your PSP Picture folder, turn it on and start reading.
What it does though is it creates an image for every page of the e-book . If this is a long e-book, this process will take a long time and the size of the entire book might be huge especially if you are running low on space. Not to mention that you won’t have a book cover image to look at since all the files were taken from a text file.
Since it only uses text files you will have to figure out a way to convert your e-book to text format with Calibre.
Here is a sample of what one of the pages will look like in text format as a .jpg file.
It’s not a bad image to look at although you will see some boxes here and there (as seen before Cover Photo Credit…). I read this book from beginning to end last night on my PSP just to see if it would hurt my eyes at all and even though it’s not that long of a book my eyes were ok for a while. But if it were a 400 page novel I’m sure that reading on a PSP would start to hurt your eyes after an hour unlike e-Ink.
If I were to make some changes to make it easier on the eyes I would probably put in a dark background image, make the text white, bold and bigger. For this test I made the font Comic Sans regular size 12. Default is regular (non bold), size 10 but I don’t know what the default font is.
You don’t have to worry about a bookmark since all you have to do is leave the image part of the PSP. Once you go back into it you will be right back on the last page (or image) you were on. That is unless you turned the PSP all the way off, then you would have to find where you were again.
If I were to give this a rating I would give it a 3 out of 5.
