Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If things look different in this video compared to others I ve done, it s because I have a new laptop stand. I m not sure if I ll use it as my primary stand, though. They re usually designed to help make your notebook more ergonomic and comfortable for people, and helps keep it properly cooled. No matter what kind of notebook you have, they tend to overheat without proper airflow. Getting some type of laptop stand is a good thing for this reason. The one I normally use is a Targus. It has a couple of fans, and a couple of USB ports. The Alto from Logitech is the one I want to talk about today. First, let s look at the features: Notebook display riser: Elevates and extends your notebook s display for viewing comfort. Relaxes you while making you more productive. Full-sized keyboard: Type faster, with less fatigue. The integrated soft palm rest adds wrist support and keeps your hands away from the hot notebook surface. One-touch hot keys: Get instant access to your digital music with media and volume controls. Additional hot keys instantly take you to your favorite applications, folders, and Web pages. Multipurpose USB hub: Use three high-speed USB 2.0 ports to connect your favorite peripherals, including cordless mice, webcams, printers, and external drives. Works with virtually any notebook: Use it with your current notebook—and your next one. Easy setup and storage: Flip it open for instant use on almost any flat surface; fold it down for easy transport and storage. I think this is a nice laptop stand, but it is really pricey. It looks good, and is really functional. It will make good office decor, for sure. I don t know. Maybe I ll grow to like it more over time. It makes my MacBook sit up entirely too high for my needs.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed I remember back in the day, making mix tapes for girls. What? How can you not know what mix tapes are? You took two boomboxes, two cassette tapes and made your own mix tapes full of songs. Now that we don t make those anymore, the personal touch has gone by the wayside. Sending someone a link just isn t personal. Thankfully, you can now just zip over and use PlayList. Projectplaylist.com is an information location tool similar to Google® and Yahoo!® but devoted entirely to the world of music. Our purpose is to help you find and enjoy music legally throughout the web in the same way that other search engines help you find webpages, images, and other media, but we also add a social /community twist. We make it easy for you to create playlists, share your playlists with friends, and browse playlists of others. We connect you with the coolest music on the web, and we connect people who are passionate about music. Music is burgeoning on the web. Increasingly, artists, record companies, music bloggers, music websites and music critics are uploading music files to websites that they control for promotional or other legal purposes. Our mission at Project Playlist, Inc. is to organize this rapidly growing abundance of legal music on the web for the benefit of the worldwide music community – artists, songwriters, music distributors, and listeners alike. Our view is that the more people share their individual passion for music by sharing playlists, the more music will be created, and the more the entire music industry will grow. Projectplaylist.com allows you to discover all of this free music legally because we respect the rights of copyright holders and we insist that you do as well. We pay royalties to songwriters and music publishers, and we respect the performing artist’s choice. Some performing artists make their music freely available on the web, others allow you to listen to only a few freely available songs through a promotional site, and a few would prefer that none of their music be heard on the web at all. If an artist tells us that our search engine is linking to an illegally posted song, we will immediately take down the link to that music file. It doesn t get any better than that. I can now go in, and create a playlist especially for my wife, to welcome her home from her trip. I know I missed her, and the dogs really did. I think they might be getting a tad tired of having just Daddy around. Why not go and create a playlist or twelve of your own? Elmore Music - New Product! Speed Learning System, Usd $94 Payout!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed If you guys are wondering why on Earth you would ever want to stop by our live show. Well, the reason is VNC for the iPhone.

It doesn t matter what operating system you use on your computer. As long as you have an iPhone, and a computer running VNC software, you can connect. For a first version, it works really well. I m certainly looking forward to forthcoming versions. When you re away from your desk, but want to still be connected to your computer, Mocha VNC Lite is the way to go.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed My friend Geoff Smith created my custom ringtone for my iPhone. Many of you want that ringtone, even though your name isn t Chris. Well, I finally uploaded it for you all. Feel free to use it if you have an iPhone. I uploaded the ringtone to Drop.io. Drop is a free service that lets you quickly and easily share files of all types. A drop is a chunk of space you can use to store and share anything privately (pictures, videos, audio, documents, etc.), without accounts, registration, or an email address. Drops are not searchable and not networked; they just exist online as private points for exchange between individuals or groups. Create as many drops as you want in as little as two clicks and set things like a password, whether others can add to the drop, and how long you want it to exist (you can renew later). Drops can be flexibly used in a range of ways from sharing family photos and videos to collaborating on group projects. Each drop has four primary input methods – the web, email, voice, and fax – and a few secondary ones like widgets. Anything you input into a drop can then be retrieved on the web at that drop location. Another great way to share files is through MediaFire. You can share an unlimited number of files on MediaFire, as long as each file is under 100MB. You can link to your MediaFire files from within MySpace or a blog. Use folders to easily share groups of files or create galleries for all your images. No registration necessary and no software to install. Why would you use either of these services? Besides the fact they are free, you can keep frequently used files online for easy access from any computer with an internet connection. What other sites like these do you use? Which ones do you find to be reputable, as opposed to the ones that are just not worth your time? Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

The iPhone wrap up show. We had to. OK, we did it....now lets move on!

Want to understand what the current mortgage and banking mess is all about? This show, which I produce and co-host, helps to explain what is going on and why. -- Douglas This week brought the collapse of Indymac Bank. Their collapse wreaked havoc in the financial markets, but it can have a greater effect on individual depositor's stress levels. This could be witnessed in the unnecessary bank run on Indymac this week. Many people do not realize they should not keep more than $100,000 in any bank. Insurance only covers up to $100,000 in deposits, any amount over that is negotiable to as low as 50 cents on the dollar. But for those who have a smaller amount on deposit, don't worry, you will get every penny back. We also discuss Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's current troubles and why they are so important to the housing market. Listen to "Indymac, Fannie, Freddie and You?" If you have any questions you would like us to answer on our show, please call our listener line at 714-519-7833 or email mortgagepodcast@gmail.com.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Believe it or not, I have been accused of never talking about Windows. That s an illusion. Apparently, there s just not a lot of interesting Windows software out there anymore. If there is you re not telling me about it. How can I let everyone know about cool programs like this one if you don t point me towards them? Send me links to the cool stuff you find, and I ll be happy to talk about it. PictoMio is more than just a digital photo manager. It happens to be a full-on suite of tools to help you clean up and organize your digital photos and videos. You can think of this as the way Picasa should be. Don t get me wrong, I ve been using Picasa for years. But, Picasa has kind of fallen flat. They kind of stopped developing it. And now, along comes the free PictoMio, available for Windows only. Pictomio easily manages thousands of media intensive image and video archives and groups your media according to orientation, time, type, size, rating, etc. Finally a tool to directly manage your videos. Along with viewing Thumbnails you can also rotate and zoom video. With the Library you can display photos by the date taken and EXIF values (e.g. type of camera) as well as sorted by category and album. With the integrated EXIF editor (Exchangeable image file format) you can see, edit and save the meta data of JPEG files. Albums and categories are virtual folders which you can use to arrange your pictures regardless of their location on the hard drive. Example album: My best vacation pictures Browse through your pictures With the visually engaging 3D picture Carousel. The direction of motion can be controlled by the mouse. Pictomio simplifies the production of slide shows for you by using a drag-and-drop interface. By Using the capabilities of 3D graphics cards you can also integrate elaborate page transitions. PictoMio is excellent software. It helps you work with your files to effectively and easily manage all of your digital files. FirstRSS ERROR: http://shop.tagjag.com/products/photos NOT FOUND!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed One of the first things I bought from the App Store is a little program called Starmap. I m an amateur Astronomer, and just love checking things out in the Galaxy. Sometimes when I m looking at the stars, I don t know exactly what I m looking at. That s where Starmap could come in handy. The best thing about Starmap is that you can take it with you while stargazing, thanks to your iPhone. Pocket astronomers will find a screen that shows a sky full of planets, visible stars, named stars, galaxies, and nebulae, and coordinates that you can access and search for from an unobtrusive ribbon of icons. Sensitivity to the accelerometer tips the view vertically and horizontally, and you can pinch and pull the screen to get a closer look at the arrangement of the points of light. It s a fair and interesting start, if not a bit static, and the land-locked dreamer in me sees many more interactive possibilities as the tools and technology progress like a real-time night mode that uses the camera as a telescope to automatically fix the star chart around you and a Wikipedia plug-in that spoon-feeds you information about what you re looking at. You know, the kinds of extras you d expect from Google Earth. Indeed, this is a powerful app. The problem is that at times, it s unresponsive. As far as I m concerned, it s just unusable. When it does respond, it responds so slowly, that I can t even tell if the app is working anymore. That s inexcusable. For $12.00, I certainly expected more. For an application to behave like this is totally not right. The idea behind Starmap is phenominal, however it wasn t programmed very well. When I try to go back to the home page the iPhone completely locks up. So there you have it. While the programmers may have had good intentions, they have some work to do for this to be a viable app. Tell me, what other Astronomy app would you recommend for me to try out? If you ve had a difference experience with Starmap than I did, please let me know. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed How many of you out there have an iPod? How many of you leave the house? What about having a car? Even if you don t have an iPod, you may have a device that requires a charger of some type. I m sure you have a mobile power adapter. Today, I picked up the ultimate charger. The Emerge Tech Retractable 5-in-1 iPod Charger is an awesome little travel option. The features include: Compatibility: This accessory is compatible with iPod, iPod mini and iPod nano. Versatile charger: A car power adapter, wall power adapter, USB and Firewire charge plug are all included, so no matter where you are you’ll be able to stay powered up.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed What tool do you use to benchmark your Internet connection speed? If you re on a desktop, I know many of you use SpeedTest. But what about your mobile web experience? If you re on an Edge connection, are you getting true Edge speeds? What about if you re on a 3G connection, or even wifi? iNetwork Test began with the creation of a basic iPhone web application that inferentially measured the speed of the network the device was connected to. The interest in the application was overwhelming with over half a million results collected to date. The need for reliable, easy to use mobile network testing solutions is one that will continue to grow as more mobile devices infiltrate the marketplace and newer, faster networks come online. iNetwork Test is developing a suite of solutions for a variety of platforms starting with the iPhone and Android platforms. These tests are more reliable providing a true speed measurement at the lowest possible level of the stack as allowed by the various software development kits. This service is free. Simply click start test , and a few seconds later it gives you results. It will ask you how you re connected to the Internet, and gives you a more detailed answer based on your connection type. If there s a question on whether or not you re getting the speeds you are supposed to, this service will help. Doing one-offs isn t really the best idea, because it won t give you a good representation of your average speeds. Run the test at different times during the day. Try to keep as many variables the same as possible, also. Also on the site, you can view other people s connection speed results. Are people in your locale getting the same kinds of speeds as you? If not, you ll know there could be a problem with your service that may needs to be addressed. To my knowledge, this service is the only one that works for testing out your 3G and even Edge speeds. Maybe you know of something else? If you do, let me know about it, and I ll be happy to check it out. FirstRSS ERROR: http://shop.tagjag.com/products/internet-speed NOT FOUND!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Anyone who has visited me at my home office have remarked how stark and boring my walls are. I have literally nothing hanging on my office walls. I tend to get bored so fast with things on the wall that I end up wasting money. Now that I have an excellent color laser printer, I can print out really cool stuff to hang on the walls if I want to. But what if I want something bigger? What do I do? I could always head over to Block Posters to create any size wall posters from any size images. It s completely free, and very easy to use. I can upload any image I choose, and tell the service how many pages of paper to use for the poster width. Once you finish making your selections, save your image as a PDF file to your computer. Print it out and presto! You now have a huge pixel poster you can hang on your wall. You ll have to tape or somehow stick the pages together, of course. You could get fancy, and affix the sheets to cardboard. Then, use a clear sealant over the top of the whole thing which you can buy inexpensively at any craft store. This will make sure that your poster doesn t fade over time, and the cardboard will help keep it from being torn or ruined. One tip I have is to make sure you upload pictures that are as high in megapixels as possible. A picture that is 640 480, for example, wouldn t look good printed on one 8 10 sheet let alone blown up to poster size! Use the largest mp that your camera will put out for you. Thanks for passing along all of the cool links, and keep them coming. I really do check them all out, and I pass along all of the ones that I think all of you will enjoy.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Just about the only bus I ve ever enjoyed riding happens to be the Universal Serial Bus. You know me, I love everything USB. When I was out shopping today, I just happened to find a very cool USB adapter travel kit. This thing was only $20, and came with 9 different adapters for USB devices. The travel kit from Emerge Technologies is a definite must for any Geek who has to travel. The kit includes: 2 USB 2.0 cables Network cable with RJ-45 connectors Phone cable with RJ-11 connectors 9 interchangeable adapters allow for easy configuration of multiple cable types Configure as USB-A, USB-B, Male/Female, Mini A 4-pin, Mini A 5-pin Mini B For only $20, this was a definite steal. I m sorry Ponzi doesn t have one of these with her while she s traveling this week in the Caribbean. Isn t that lovely? She s on vacation for ten days and I m here at home, playing with my USB devices and adapters. FirstRSS ERROR: http://shop.tagjag.com/products/device NOT FOUND!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed As of February 17th, 2009, you will have to have a DTV Converter if you have a television that has rabbit ears on it. However, if you head over to DTV Transition, you ll be able to get a lot more information. the era of analog broadcast television in the United States will end as the nation s full power* television stations complete their transition to an all-digital system. While this change will mark the end of the traditional analog method of broadcasting over-the-air television, it won’t signal the end of free broadcast television, and your favorite broadcast programs and local television stations will still be available. If you currently receive analog television over the air or via an antenna, you’ll need to take action to continue watching your favorite stations. TVs accessing pay television service such as cable or satellite aren t likely to be affected by the switch. The good news is that if you head over to the DTV Transition website and fill out a form, you ll receive a coupon for a DTV Converter absolutely free. You may as well not spend your money if you don t have to, right? I personally ordered two of them, and ended up paying about $20 each. I then used the coupon to send to my parents, so they ll be able to get one, as well. Details for the program: A digital-to-analog converter box receives digital over-the-air signals from your antenna, converts them to analog and sends the signal to your existing analog television set. These boxes, which are expected to cost between $50 - 70 will be available for purchase in 2008. Beginning on January 1, 2008, U.S. households can request up to two coupons valued at $40 each. Each coupon can go toward the purchase of a single set-top converter box that will allow you to continue watching FREE over-the-air television on an analog set. If you have an older television that still works, you should definitely get yourself equipped with the Converter before you need it. Thanks to this coupon program, you won t have to spend much money if any at all. Want to embed this video on your own site, blog, or forum?

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed What kind of music do you listen to? I personally have quite a wide variety in my playlist. I like a little bit of everything just about. If you want to listen to a song right now , what do you do? Maybe you use Rhapsody like I do, or even use iTunes. Well, there s another source that I ve recently come across. At TinySong, you type in the name of a track. The service searches the Web, and within a few seconds it will play it back. I kid you not. That s all there is to it, and it s so fast and simple to use. Once I have the song, it gives me a link. I can pass the link along to my friends and have them listen to it. Or, I can press a different button, and the song will open in GrooveShark. Any song you can think of, you ll likely find on TinySong. I have searched for some really obscure stuff, and the track I wanted was found every time within seconds. I know, that Cut the Mullet song has to go. I m sorry, I can t help it. I love the song! It doesn t matter that Kat is bashing her head on the desk repeatedly when I play it over and over. She ll survive I think. I m telling you. Go and search for any song you ve heard in your entire life. If you cannot find it on TinySong (which then redirects you to GrooveShark), I would be surprised. I d be interested in hearing about the ones that weren t found. If you know of strange or obscure music that you think I may not have heard of, let me know. It s because of my chat room that I started listening to Daft Punk. I have to thank them for that. See how this whole live thing works? The interaction is awesome!

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed The MX-1 Remote Control Helicopter from ThinkGeek really does fit in the palm of my hand. It is so much fun to fly around the office and house. I just have to be careful to not let Ponzi catch me tormenting the dogs with it. Our ravenous lust for tinier and tinier flying R/C toys has been temporarily satiated by these miniscule MX-1 copters from Silverlit. We thought we had seen small R/C copters until we were flabbergasted by a helicopter so small it actually fits inside its own remote. The MX-1 is a sharp looking little copter and it has a redesigned remote with smooth slider like controls. Dock the copter in the clear bay at the bottom and charge it up at the same time. Take to the air with confidence knowing that you re piloting the smallest manmade flying device commercially available. Important Note: The MX-1 is a 2 channel copter so it is always moving forward slowly. You control up/down and right/left turns. Due to the dynamics of the helicopter right turns are wider than left turns. If you want the MX-1 to move forward faster you can add a bit of weight to the front of the nose. Of course careful use of the trim buttons at the beginning of each flight is pretty much a necessity. Practice up on your flying skills if you hope to challenge the expert pilots at the ThinkGeek world headquarters of doom. It s definitely an inside toy. It s very lightweight, and I have a feeling you d ruin it outside. It takes 20-30 minutes to charge, and will run for over five minutes straight. Make sure you duck when you re playing with this chopper. We don t want anyone to get hurt! Oh, and watch out for the dogs. The Secret Art Of Spoiling Your Cat Rotten - Pays 50%.

Add to iTunes | Add to YouTube | Add to Google | RSS Feed Ponzi has a desktop app that displays current weather conditions. She also has an app on her iPhone that has weather on it. Yet, she always asks me what the temperature is outside. How am I supposed to know?! Now, she can use this handy little gadget to find out. The Outdoor LCD Window Thermometer is only $13.00 from ThinkGeek. Since the temperature is the one thing that most effects your comfort level you typically want to know what to expect before heading out the door. Sure, you could open a door or window to check your local temperature but we think that is definitely way low tech. This simple but clean looking LCD Window Thermometer will give you a much easier way to know what it feels like outside. It easily mounts outside and features a large LCD digit display to show temperature reading. Shows minimum and maximum values with auto reset. Never again should I have to answer the question Is it skirt weather? . Ponzi can simply look at the thermometer and decide on her own. Personally, I m hoping it s always skirt weather.
