I announce a couple of contest and a new initiative that I hope will help some Ohana get started with some new projects. Today's news was dominated by the iPhone but I dug around and found the rest of the stories out there. To all of you that faithfully listen thanks for being part of the Ohana. Todd.. Sponsor: Visit
The Sandpit I found this utterly fascinating. It's a five minute study of "a day in the life of New York, in miniature" and it's just that. The director, Sam O'Hare has combined time-lapse photography and a tilt-shift lens (whatever that is!) to produce an effect akin to toy models scurrying around a miniature city. Look out for the helicopters
My team over at RawVoice re-launched Blubrry.com with a long over due refresh. This refresh continues to focus on our agenda of creating additional distribution opportunities for the 5,500 podcasters that we work with. It also sets the stage for what we are going to introduce later this year to the podcasting community that will continue the evolution of the
According to latest findings from Kasperksy, the United States has taken the lead as the country with the most malicious servers within its borders. The number one spot was held by China as late as the last quarter of 2009. The U.S. now hosts 28% of the world's malicious servers, with Russia at number 2. Russia formerly had the smallest
If you're the kind of person who wants to use really strong passwords but you've a memory like a sieve, then PasswordCard might be for you. It's a credit card-sized set of random characters with symbols along the top and coloured bars which you keep handy in your wallet (or phone). So how does it work? First of all, set
Are you as mad as I am over the latest AT&T announcement I get on the GNC Soapbox and stay there for a bit. Last show in Hawaii for two weeks, I head out to Texas and NY over the next 4 shows. Join me live at more civilized times. Listen to show for details. Looking for some feedback on
How many of you are using Yahoo? I'm not talking about the search engine, which I rarely use for anything. I'm talking about Yahoo mail, which I do use, and YahooGroups, which is an invaluable tool for me these days. I run, and participate in, over 30 YahooGroups. It's an easy, web-based listserv system that most users of all levels
AT&T I hated this company during the days of deregulation by the tricks they played to keep from losing long distance customers to Sprint and MCI, now once again I am beyond words of what I think about this company. I had planned on buying my wife a 3G iPad but as of today I will not buy the 3G
If you are an entrepreneur or entrepreneur-in-waiting, then you should have a look at this for inspiration. HSBC Business has produced a series of four booklets comprising a total of 100 real world mini-case studies on how to do things a little differently for success. Some of the examples are well-known companies such as Lufthansa and Red Bull, others are
The first thing I did was to use the HDMI input and connect that to my TiVo Series 3 DVR. I had I connected my Apple TV to the DVI input using a HDMI to DVI adapter I have. This is just a temporary set up until I can pick up an HDMI switcher. Right now I am not sure which one will give me the best value for its price. The next thing I did was to connect the TiVo to a Kenwood receiver I had. The receiver is about eight years old, so the only video connection it has are S Video, and composite video, because of this I decided to use it for audio only. I connected the TiVo to the DVD optical audio input. I used composite cables to connect the Apple TV to the Tape input on the receiver. I plan to pick up another optical audio cable, but for now the composite cables work fine. I then connected the speakers, two rear, two front and one center, with no subwoofer. Obviously, this is not an optimal setup, but it works and it was cheap.
"And just 3% of AT&T's smartphone customers account for as much as 40% of its data traffic, contributing to slow transmissions and dropped calls." Quotes like this just make me want to scream! This came from an article in USAToday about ATT's intention to start charging new customers on a tiered basis for their wireless data usage. The last part
If, like me, you have always believed that you never stop learning, and that the pursuit of knowledge and understanding is part of the human condition, then I think you will love this. "In Our Time" , one of the BBC's flagship radio programmes, now has its archive online, going back to 1998. "In Our Time" is a weekly radio programme
