As I have mentioned on here, I have been taking a few classes at the local community college. One of the unexpected benefits of being enrolled as a student is that I have access to the community college library. The physical library itself is fine, but what’s really cool is that I have online access […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I am taking a journalism class this semester as a way to ease back into the academic world and finish up my degree. Part of the class is to stay on top of the news, which I am generally good about. I listen to the BBC World Service, NPR, and have a subscription to The […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I didn’t see an announcement on my TiVo about this, but I received an email from Amazon letting me know that I can set up a PIN to purchase Amazon Unbox content directly on my TiVo. I tried this out and it does indeed work. I think this is going to make Amazon Unbox all […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

Did anyone else know that Reuters has a Second Life bureau? That is to say that the news wire service Reuters actually reports on events transpiring within Second Life. Very interesting.
Recently I’ve been watching current.tv. It’s a cable television network (channel 150 for me on digital cable) but the content is mainly user uploaded videos. The web site community votes on what should air, and it’s broadcast on the television channel. It’s a mashup of television with something like youtube. It’s interesting stuff. There are […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
As a sort of Christmas gift for myself, I purchased a Olympus Stylus 1000 10MP Digital Camera with Digital Image Stabilized 3x Optical Zoom. I decided on this model after playing with one that a friend of mine received for Christmas. So far it has turned out to be a great toy. The image quality […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This is a little bit of a low-content post, but Adam Curry aired his thoughts on the Rocketboom staffing changes today on DSC 418. You can cue it up to about 25 minutes or so into it to hear that part. I mention this mainly because he smartly avoids all the speculation and politics of […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
