Last time I upgraded Yahoo Instant Messenger (I actually use the program both personally and professionally), I accidentally let Yahoo Toolbar install. I never bothered to remove it, just left it in a disabled state and un-checked in the toolbar listing on Firefox. This past week I went ahead and upgraded Firefox along with some long overdue Adobe updates. This

I talk a little about the state of podcasting and give you all a little information about a new website that we will be building full details shortly. We will
I told myself a long time ago that I would only upgrade my main computer if a new one could triple the performance. It would be so I don't sit and waste money every year just to buy a machine that was a few MHz faster than the previous one. I know I can get by with an increase in

I downloaded an application awhile ago called Nomee. I used it for a short time. I didn't see a use for it so I forgot about it. Then earlier this week I saw a video by Chris Pirillo talking about Nomee. I said I have that application, maybe I should give it another try. I know that sometimes I have to look an application a second time before I get it.
So what happens when free or nearly free podcast hosting is no longer available.

I recently ordered two Sony cameras the EVI D-100 and the EVI D-70 largely because the documentation and online reviews where all very generic and I was having a hard time deciding which one of these PTZ (Point/Tilt/Zoom) cameras would be best.

Tonight show is complete but a small confession the first 12 minutes where recorded twice, first time I have done that in years. As soon as I started the show firefox crashed, the tricaster ran out of hd space, and a host of other things made it a complete circus. Don't worry I save both the audio and video for
Tonight I was working on a website I have not touched in years. I decided to install Wordpress on it and went looking for a new theme. Being the Theme directory at WordPress is useless in actually finding a topical theme I went to Search Google for WordPress Themes to see what other sites are out there. I found a
This morning John C. Dvorak published an article essentially accusing the US Chief Information Officer Vivek Kundra of being a Phony! Generally when Dvorak publishes something as accusatory as this then where there is smoke will soon follow fire. Almost immediately Om Malik semi-refuted some of the educational concerns in Dvoark's article but there is much more to this story
Word (yes, pun intended) comes today that a Federal District Court judge has barred the sale of Microsoft Word until further notice. The ruling stems from a patent infringement lawsuit brought byI4i, a software company located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
