A CMS for Audio Stuff
I think someone was looking for this the other day: Loudblog is a sleek and easy-to-use Content Management System (CMS) for publishing audio content on the web. It automatically generates a skinnable website and a feed for Podcasting. Just upload your audio files, add some notes and links, and you're done! There are a variety [...]
Blogging From 30,000 Feet
WiFi at 30,000 feet seems pretty cool until you realize it’s just like WiFi at the coffee shop or WiFi at home. The boss can still track you down and you better be prepared to answer those emails piling up in your inbox before you touch down for the evening “meeting” with that client you’re [...]
My 32nd Birthday
32 birthdays leading to the room where the paint doesn't want to dry; 32 birthdays running down the road where the dirt reaches the sky; 32 birthdays in my brand new Indian headdress; 32 birthdays shining in 32 skies. What's the reason, why'd I go? Where's my PC, I don't know. 32 birthdays, counted them [...]
I Need a Word
What do they call it when you sneeze through your hand and accidentally spray small globs of spit onto your monitor, see them turn your screen into a random mish-mash of polka dotted rainbows, only to have every colorful point evaporate quickly because your LCD is running too hot?
Xbox 360
After a few rounds of getting my ass handed to me in Halo 2 with friends the other day, I'm starting to look forward to getting the Xbox 360. Not because I enjoy losing, mind you. The next-gen Xbox aims to be a great gaming machine with visuals that are out of this world. I [...]
Interview with Andru Edwards
On the day GearLive.com got hammered with traffic following a story about beating a traffic ticket with the help of Google Maps, we were joined in studio by Andru Edwards. Edwin, the author of the story, joined via phone. Throughout the course of the show, Andru talks about the Brain Cell he got from Tom [...]
MSN Virtual Earth: Oops.
According to ActiveWin this morning, MSN has silently launched their MSN Virtual Earth product. Naturally, I rushed over there to give it a spin. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Maxthon. Seems like an oversight… as both Google Maps and Yahoo! Maps work fine in the same browser with the same settings. I've already submitted a [...]
Interview with Nat Torkington at Where 2.0
Where 2.0 brought a number of important conversations about mapping and geo-location under one roof. One of the key people making it happen is Nat Torkington of O’Reilly, who played gracious host for both days of the event. Chris talked briefly to Nat at the end of the first day about his vision for the [...]
Become a Beauty and The Geek Contestant!
I just got this voicemail from a show producer for 'Beauty and the Geek.' I'd make a better host than a contestant, wouldn't you agree? Methinks you should give her a call, and let other geeks know how they can make it onto the next show. Just let 'em know that I sent ya. M'kay?
Microsoft Windows Vista
It's official: Longhorn is Vista, Vista is Longhorn. I think I could've come up with a better name than what is clearly defined as… “a distant view or prospect.” Or perhaps that title is VERY fitting? Okay, Vista it is – but what could it have been instead? Windows XPurgated Windows Washed Windows Finkel & [...]

Become a Beauty and The Geek Contestant!
Look, folks – I’m enjoying Beauty and the Geek (just like the rest of you), but I am not like Richard in any way. Two people have made this innocent juxtaposition, but it’s just flat-out wrong. He’s the lanky guy who has no social skills. First, I’m not lanky – I was husky in junior [...]
Is It Time to Upgrade to AMD Dual Core Processor?
Mark calls in to ask about the AMD Dual Core X2 processor? He’s thinking about upgrading his PC and wants to know if it’s time to upgrade or would it be better to wait for Longhorn? Will this processor be Longhorn compatible? Is it better than Intel Dual Core? Is the performance enough better than [...]
