Here’s something I run into during the usual tech walk-thru every once in a while. It starts out like this: “Well, Lance, I can’t seem to make this certain program do this”. Now, once in a blue moon, I’ll know exactly what they’re talking about and right where to go (disclaimer: I am not a…
Hey, you know how I go on (and on and on) about online video downloads, etc.? Well, here’s a site that just might get it right (or some form of it). It’s called Joost (www.joost.com). The end result should be a form of TV . . . without the TV. If they can get it…
And here I am again on my TiVo soap box. I remember a year or so ago, TiVo was possibly in negotiations with Netflix DVD Rentals (another favorite) to bring downloadable movies to your TiVo. Man, was I excited. I’ve already mentioned MovieLink in another posting. But, that leaves me to watch movies on my…
Just when you thought I’d shut up about TiVo, they announce some new great features. Yesterday (Dec 14th), TiVo announced new features for broadband connected boxes.

It’s called movielink.com – check it out here – and it allows you to download movies to your laptop. They usually have many new releases available, but I really like (and…
In performing web design for clients who are music artists, I run into alot of audio file conversion and editing. Alot of people ask me what they can use for editing audio files. Most of the time, the word FREE comes up! Well, not to worry – I found a great program called Audacity. It’s…
Now that I’ve been working on a laptop for the last few years, I have all of my clients data in one place. While that’s nice to have and take along with me, it’s unnerving to think that if my laptop is stolen, dropped, or otherwise put out of commission, that’d be the end of…
A lot of folks ask me what I use for Antivirus and Antispyware and Antiwhatever to keep my machines running well. Of course, there are the Nortons and McAffee and such for paid services, but I’m . . . well . . . cheap when it comes to that! I just can’t justify spending money…
