This is your Tech Tidbits Daily for Thursday Feb. 24th, 2005. Today’s news comes from SearchWinSystems.com which is part of the family of websites from Tech Target (requires a subscirption but the service is free). If you can not get a Windows system to boot correctly there are collections of tools and procedures for conducting a system recovery without utlizing Microsoft some what limiting Windows Install and Recovery Console tools. One of these toolkits is called the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (or "UBCD4Win.com") that runs a full version of Windows not just a DOS. In future editions of this podcast, we will look at other similar solutions to include Linux-based options. For

A couple of good productions turned up via Blogdigger … some adult language …
- http://www.michaelverdi.com/video/vloganarchy.mov
- http://video.ericrice.com/videoblogs/vlogarchy.mov
It turns out that over the last month or so … Blogdigger is my channel of choice for "watching" stuff when I don’t have a "podcast" playing in my head phones or in my car stereo … please don’t tell ABC, NBC, Cox Cable, ok … 😉
P.S. Blogdigger is probably NC-17 … you never know what you might get … you’ll probably delete more than you watch all the way through but what you watch is better than what else is on. Trust me …

IT Conversations has been a leader in providing quailty audio technical commentary even before podcasting as it currently stands was conceptualized and implemented back in Fall 2004.
Some new stuff worth checking out:
- The Gillmor Gang (3.6): "The Gang asks guest Dan Bricklin what innovations are on his radar."
- Stewart Copeland (4.0) "Since his early days with the Police, drummer Stewart has been heavily involved with technology."
- Dave Sifry [CEO of Technorati] at Web 2.0 (3.1): "presents the inside look at this explosive new medium …"

This is your Tech Tidbits Daily for Wednesday, Feb. 23rd, 2005. Today’s news is more an opinon piece than straight technology information. This medium of podcasting seems to be trying very hard to make sure it has a future. And a great deal of thought is going into ideas on where things are going. One of the better recent resouces on this topic is a series weblog posts called "The Future of Podcasting" facilitated by Todd Storch. It is defintely worth a read for both consumers and producers of podcasting. For

I was listening to a recent Behind the Scenes podcast by Craig Patchett, and there were a couple of things recommend that I am not doing:
- Even though I am mostly doing talk I am recording and sending out a stereo MP3 (Craig recommends mono).
- Craig thinks the lowest bitrate should be 64-kbps, but I am using 48-kbps with no complaints.
I am implementing ThePoint podcast’s recomendation of limiting the dB output.
So should I change what I am doing, or just keep things status quo?

There have been a lot of "taser" related news items in the mainstream news lately. It was something that I had just brushed aside, but if you look at Google News I guess there is some issues with them being more lethal than expected?
The reason I am even blogging about it is because the latest NRA American Rifleman magazine had an ad for the Taser X26c Citizen Defense System that I ripped out to maybe talk about in a future podcast over at Tech News Radio.
Sorting out all the legal ramifications is probably a full-time job, but the ad did say the device was legal to carry ("concealed?") in 43 states after a background check.

Is the new magazine Make going to live up to the initial hype?
I haven’t seen a print copy yet, but the website posts seem pretty good:
