Not specifically tech-related, but since I'm a closet hippy and love to report on all things green...well, I couldn't not post it. Besides, maybe this will reduce my ultimate carbon footprint. As a techie, I know my carbon footprint is the size of an SUV at this point. A movement toward "green" burials has begun to hit cemeteries nation-wide. A
Over the past 9 months, I have been working very hard to improve the live video recordings of the Geek News Central Podcast. Having no video recording background, I am sure I am making a huge number of mistakes.
It was bound to happen; Google Docs, still struggling in somewhat of a this-is-cool-but-I'm-not-sure-I-will-use-it sort of anonymity, may just have found a way to the surface. One of the big problems with Google Docs is that it is not compatible with too many things, and as much as many of us tout open source and cloud availability, it is going
You have to watch to win! Video link is in the show notes. One more show here in Honolulu before I take the show on the road. It will be a very busy May and June as farmers say you have to make hay while sun shines. No locked in travel plans yet for listener meet-ups but will advise when

It looks like Microsoft Windows 7 will have its gala release before the Christmas sales season approaches. The first "release candidate" has been made available for authorized beta testers, which usually occurs around five months before the relase of the final product. In this time frame, we could be seeing Windows 7 released around October, just in time to hit
This week should see the launch of a newer, bigger-screened Amazon Kindle device. The naysayers are all awash in predictions of doom, mostly surrounding the theory that throwing a life-line to traditional newspapers by letting them format properly on a bigger Kindle is just a waste of energy and money, that newspapers will be failing anyway. I'm not so quick
The greatest form of identity theft may not be the loss of my bank information but the loss of my ability to control my basic identity.
It seems newspapers are falling like dominoes, and quite honestly I think it is going to get much worse for other papers nationwide.
