  • Best Microbrew Light Beer?

    +

    Ack!  I never thought I’d write that title.  There is no good mega-swill light beer right?

    But we got a sampler pack at Costco from Gordon Biersch. I have to say the Light is pretty dang good when compared to others I’ve tried like Samuel Adams (no good URL … I really hate sites like this).

  • How Safe Is TechNewsRadio.com with Podshow.com Music?

    September 26, 2005

    +

    +

    +

    +

    Bradford Gibson brings up some interesting points about Podshow.com in his post "Podsafe Music Network: Anything but Safe".

    Something to dig into when I get a free moment … which might be sometime in 2016.

    So far, every band I’ve played from Podshow has sent me email thanking me.  But I was drawn to the service because I inferred (probably without much warrant) some protection in that the music was "podsafe" and wouldn’t bring me a horde of lawyers to my door.

    Long-timer readers or those that know me, will probably have to laugh at the last sentence.  This from the guy playing recordings from his favorite records during the first 12 or so versions of Tech Rag Tear Outs. 😉

  • Another Podcast on Vista Worth Checking Out

    Over the weekend I listened to Jon Udell’s interview with Bill Gates [podcast, transcript].  If you liked the Microsoft Vista segment in the last Tech Rag Tear Outs, then you’ll definitely want to give this a listen.  [Sources: Phil Windley’s Technometria, Dan Farmer @ ZDNET]

  • Intranet Podcasting Bigger Near-Term Business Success?

    From the first time I heard Michael Geoghegan from Reel Reviews Radio (Oct04?) you could tell he was a confident, intelligent, and knowledgeable film fanatic.  His Disney podcasts also show this off, as does his new book Podcast Solutions with Dan Klass at TheBitterestPill.com.

    But after the first face-to-face meetings in Dec04 and Jan05 as part of the Orange County Podcasters, Michael also embedded in my brian the thought "this guy has some serious business sense and savvy" beyond podcasting. 

    He shows his hand a little recently via his personal blog — "Look for PrivaCast™ a "secure Enterprise RSS system" [blog] to be an very interesting product.

    If you can’t wrap your hands around the idea – think Amway or MaryKay.

    On Sunday, Christy and I got to go an see a nice simple musical called "Pump Boys and Dinettes" at Lamb’s Player Theatre in Coronada, CA (1142 Orange Ave.).  It was a fun musical that is family safe.  Unfortunately I think the run is over.  They are already gearing up for their typically fabulous Christmas shows.

    More info about the play via Google.

    Today we are going to look at two quick items: ScotteVest.com and OpenOffice 1.1.5:

    • ScotteVest.com has released a new line of Version 4.0 Technology Enabled Clothing or TEC.  There are now shorts, t-shrits, pants, sports coats, and more options in the jacket category like what type of cloth and style (like leather). 
    • OpenOffice.org has announced a new 1.1.5 version of their OpenOffice product for Windows (98/ME/NT/2000/XP), GNU/Linux (X86 and PowerPC) and Solaris (SPARC and X86) platforms in a host of languages, not just English.  The big thing in this release is the support for the XML based OpenDocument format approved the  Organisation for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS).
