The company is going to release a new software offering for Wi-Fi phones that makes it easy for users to find signals, authenticate themselves and manage their profiles without a thumb-numbing amount of button pushing.

With all the hoopla about HDTV and the push by carriers to get appropriate tools in consumer hands I expect more from our networks… On Time Warner in NYC, we have a variety of channel options about 10 I think that are within the HD range… yet many do not broadcast 16×9 all the [...]

After a bit of debate from me, I caved and we checked out the cat show on Sunday…

While there were many crazy cat ladies…older single women who have chosen cats as their companions in an obsessive way. Decked out in full cat-wear - either leopard silky draped cape-like things or cat sweaters and shirts [...]

It does not get any more ridiculous than this… AOL has communicator which is made from the Mozilla code but they opt to go with IE which has not been updated in years when they release a stand-alone browser product.
It appears that AOL will be releasing its own branded browser for its [...]

on a train listening to Woz at Gnomedex and my iPod just stops. Now all I get is a reset loop followed by a folder witha caution sign in the lower left corner.
Is it dead or just in need of some disc utils?

I just learned that iPodderX support video enclosures as well, and you can play them within it’s media player… or your can do video here…
I whipped up a script this week based on Adam Curry’s iPodder for aggregating videoblogs from RSS 2.0 feeds with enclosure tags. It should download the videos (or any files, really), [...]

The Medusa PVR…not exactly what I would be looking to do, but amazing as a proof of concept. Perhaps ideal for someone watching cable, satellite and with entirely too much focus on watching TV. Or just great for the news junkie…

Snapstream also built a six-tuner monster rig as a proof of concept, dubbed [...]

It will be interesting to see how this works… You could actually do this now via Slim Devices free server software which already connects directly to your iTunes library or simply a folder of tunes. This service sounds like it will allow for a simpler solution to browse and select tunes. Slim [...]

Andy at VoIP Watch has a nice overview on what’s coming this year from Skype… CNET also covers the stoy.
With the right headset and features (like incoming and voicemail) Skype becomes a very usable tool rather than just an easy way to talk to people around the globe from your computer.

I uploaded two recordings I’ve done so far… more will certainly follow!
atmaspheric | radio #1… recorded late last night
atmaspheric | radio #2… just wrapped. Much more clear headed.
WordPress does not officially support enclosures just yet, so we’ll see how long I can wait until hacking (read adding the hack already developed) the nightly [...]

I’ve been trying to install a virtual sound driver called Soundflower for quite a few days and running into an installation error each time I’ve tried to get it going. Tonight Google via Dowser (I love that app) led me to Pacifist… worked like a charm!

Recently, I’ve become pretty focused on Getting Things Done. I first heard of it via the Treonauts blog, which led me to 43 Folders. That was at least a month ago and I’ve been tracking not only what GTD is, but how I might be able to connect with a system that [...]
