I had an iMac that I was using for video editing and my photography work so I started using that for my daily work. I know there are a lot of Mac fan-boys out there but I’m not one of them. A computer is a computer and each type has it’s advantages and disadvantages. I enjoy using and learning about the Mac OS but I still do a lot of my work on my new Windows Vista machine.
While I highlighted my home studio already I have numerous request to talk about my portable recording rig. As you all know I travel as much as 1-2 weeks a month. I am usually stuck in Hotels with less than desirable bandwidth which requires I bring extra connectivity along more on that later. I pack for three contingencies, audio only,
Wall Warts is a slang term used for power supplies (wall transformers) and are the little brick-like devices that come with almost every electronic device. So why do I say they are like socks? Well, like socks, they seem to lose their mate and you end up wondering where it belongs.
I often get asked what gear do I use to record my Podcast. Well there are two answers to that question. Today I will cover the gear that I use while I am here in Hawaii. As you know I travel a great deal and have a separate rig for when I travel. Here is the List in the Exact

I love my GPS and use it whenever I’m going to a new place. Last night I had to go photograph a band at a small club in San Francisco so I programmed the address into my GPS. I also used it to get home since the one-way streets in San Francisco can be confusing at night. Like most users
I was surfing around this afternoon (quiet Friday here) and found a few neat new freebie things I did not know about. Some might come in handy to more than just me, so I thought I'd share them. Need to fax or scan something but you're out in the wild with nothing but a cell phone and a signal? Snap

Time-Warner announced today that they are spinning off troublesome AOL into its own company once again. Time-Warner's purchase of AOL in 2000 left a lot of people shaking their heads. Ten years ago, AOL was already a declining product as people were moving toward broadband and not using AOL dial-up service, which was the core of their business. It seemed
A couple of days ago, I received some pushed upgrades here at work that caused a few things not to work, among them, Yahoo Instant Messenger. I use Messenger a lot, not only to communicate with my children and husband during the day (they are home and there are the inevitable "Mom, have you seen my soccer cleats/socks/glasses/notebook/library book" questions
