How to Install Your Favorite Windows Software


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

The easiest ways to get programs these days is to download them. When I was getting started with software, you had to actually go to a store and buy them. The Internet didn’t really even exist back then! There’s software available for any platform these days, but this video is all about Windows… and the ease with which you can install programs using Ninite.

Google Seattle

I was invited to tour Google’s new Kirkland campus this morning (which, if you didn’t already know, is in the Seattle area).

It was interesting to see where some of our favorite Google tools are actively developed.

How to Choose a Domain Name


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

The problem with registering domain names isn’t the registration process. They’re fairly inexpensive, and easy to register. The problem is that all the good names and addresses are already taken. Finding a decent one is sometimes a bit of a challenge. This is the reason I have created this new site – to help you find possible names for the perfect site for you!

Sonos

I am able to change the music I’m listening to throughout my house by controlling it from one small little tool! This is one of the best things I’ve used in quite awhile, for sure. The Sonos Controller gives you instant access to all your music and all the rooms in your house, with just the touch of a finger… even from my iPhone!

How to Make Music

iNudge is probably the coolest new website I’ve come across in quite awhile. You can make a composition of music on your own, and share it with others. You might remember when I demonstrated my Tenori-On awhile back. iNudge is very similar, only it’s online – and free!

What’s Your Favorite Screen Saver?


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Even when I have something important to talk to you about, I still find my Inbox overrun with the same question – “What screen saver do you use?!”. For whatever reason, that appears to be a burning question in our community. Instead of recording a video today on some deep, intellectual topic, I decided it was best to discuss these screen savers and soothe the question fires. So – where DO I get those awesome screen savers?

How to Improve Internet Explorer


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Back in the day, I used to love Internet Explorer. It was awesome… up until version 4 and above. A lot of people out there still use IE, and will continue to do so. You can install a new plugin that Google has released – and have your install of Internet Explorer kick serious browser butt once again.

How to Educate Yourself for Free


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Like many college students, I drank a lot. I drank so much, that I had to take out a second loan to cover the cost of all the soda I bought. That’s really all I drank. I just have never been much into alcohol, not even in college. College costs a lot – certainly far more today than when I was attending. Is it worth it anyway? Absolutely, it is. A college education and a degree are priceless in many ways. But how the heck can you pay for an education these days?

How to Create Your Own Font for Free


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Fonts are awesome. I used to scan my own little characters into the computers and create fonts with an expensive program. The fonts could then be used in a web browser, or even a word document. If you’ve always wanted to create your own fonts but can’t afford expensive programs to help you, you’re in luck! Community member Daniel has passed along a resource to let you make your own font for free!

How to Protect Your Content with Copyright for Free


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

When you copyright your material, you are claiming it as your own so that others can’t copy or use it without permission. Joseph sent an email to me recently, letting me know of a website that will help you copyright your content for absolutely no money! Thankfully, Joseph has his own personal site registered here, and his content is protected. His site was recently copied without authorization. Thanks to MyFreeCopyright, he was able to get the other site shut down.

I bet I know what you’re thinking right now. You’re probably wondering why you’re watching this video, instead of pwning noobs on Quake right from within your browser. Oh – you didn’t know you could play Quake this way? Well now you do!

Free Optical Character Recognition (OCR)


Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

What would you call a guy with OCD in need of OCR? I guess you’d call him Chris Pirillo, since I do occasionally have a need to use Optical Character Recognition. OCR is software that can take a graphic and turn it into text. For instance, I have an email that I printed out. If I scan it into my computer, it’s going to be an image. But by using OCR, I can turn it into text.

What’s Better than Ventrilo for Voice Chat?

I used to rely on Ventrilo to communicate with the moderators from WyldRyde who help keep control in my chat room. It was kind of difficult to use, so we eventually just stopped connecting. However, I’ve found something much better that we can try!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed

Go ahead – take a screen shot of whatever you see on your screen right now. You can do this in a variety of ways. You can download tools, or use whatever is built in to your operating system. You can even take a screen grab with your iPhone or iPod Touch if you’re using it. You can take a screen grab of just about anything, including a web site.
