I am packed loaded and ready to go to Vegas for NAB / NMX. It will be an exciting week for the team as we are announcing some very major podcasting initiatives that are going to set the space on fire. I cannot wait to share it with all of you. Two shows from Vegas they may be short but
As a freelancer, I'm always looking for new ways to increase my income. I prefer to do this by doing more of the things I'm really good at like audio production or writing. But when those gigs aren't coming thru as often as I'd like, I start to look around for other opportunities. I'd heard of Taskrabbit awhile back. It's
Zynga has announced that it will be closing eleven of its games on April 30, 2015. I first learned about this when I tried to play CafeVille and was presented with an informative page that discussed the upcoming end of the game. It was a fun, extremely simple, game that involved virtual food. Zynga posted on its blog a “games
When I got my first cell phone in 1995, I opted for a plan that included a whopping 60 minutes of monthly airtime.

I also announce the winner of the Rasberry Pi Become a GNC Insider Today!: Download the Audio Show File Show Notes: Kids Hacked his Car! Your Served.
The UK's Gadget Show Live kicks off tomorrow at the NEC in Birmingham and yours truly will be in attendance on behalf of GNC. Tuesday is the press day with the main show under way on Wednesday through to Sunday. The Gadget Show Live is as close as the UK gets to CES though it's no small event. For comparison
Roku today announced a significant refresh of their streaming package with enhancements to both the software and hardware across the US, UK and Canada. Starting with the software, voice search lets owners search for films, TV programmes, actors and directors across the main streaming channels. For the US, that seems to mean CBS News, HBO Go and Sling TV and while
As a performing musician, it can be a real drag to have to deal with an instrument cable hanging off behind you on stage. You never know for sure if that cord is going to get tangled up in a weird way, potentially damaging your gear (or maybe even you!). Also, cables can be limiting in terms of mobility. Because
I've been playing around with the Bose Soundlink Color Bluetooth Speaker and, truth be told, I think I'm in love. The Soundlink Color packs an incredible punch despite its compact design. It weighs only 1.25 pounds, making it the perfect audio solution for travel and everyday use. The upright, rounded design allows for crisp, clear sound that projects throughout the
The first release of OnePlus' OxygenOS arrived today, bringing a choice of Android flavours to owners of the OnePlus One handset. As part of OnePlus' long-term strategy, the current Cyanogen KitKat-based OS is being replaced by an in-house build based on Google's Lollipop AOSP.
