How To Send Audio Updates From Twitter

How does this sound.... pick up your cell phone, dial a number, record an audio message and automatically notify your Twitter followers that there is a new audio gem waiting for them to listen to. I explain how you can set this up for FREE using resources available to you on the internet. Leave comments and let me know what you think, or better yet, follow me on Twitter and send me an audio update. twitter.com/kevinpshan.

CES Coverage

I have to say that without a doubt, The Geek News Central Podcast coverage of CES last year was excellent and I look forward to what they have in store for us this year. Keep up the great work Todd.

Democracy player gets a name change.

This is a great FREE opensource video podcast player. They just announced an upgrade and name change.


Hi Everyone,

I am very excited to announce Miro, the new name of Democracy Player.

We're still the same non-profit organization, the same people working on the project, the same open-source code. But we have a new name and a new logo that I think will reduce a lot of confusion (lots of folks thought 'Democracy' was only for political video) and will help us reach more people.

Please visit our new website and try out Miro: http://www.getmiro.com


There are a bunch of improvements in this version, most importantly a lot of bug fixes that should make it more reliable than ever. Full details are here on the blog:

http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2007/07/whats-new-in-miro-public-preview-1/


With the new website, we also have a new focus on building our
community. There's all new forums, more ways to get involved, and
more resources to use. Please take a look at the "Join In" page on
getmiro.com and come be a part of the fight for open video online.

Take care and let us know what you think!

p.s. the new forums are really nice - http://www.getmiro.com/forum/

The Best of 2006

Well I did it last year for TV shows and for Podcasts, so I guess this is an annual tradition. It's my time to post what my favorite television shows and podcasts are. I like to express my opinions here on my blog to try and influence the three people that ever read it. First let me bid a fond farewell to some of my favorites from last year that did not survive. Two newcomers, Surface and Invasion bit the dust along with my long time favorite, Alias. And the only show that remains from last year that I've removed from my auto record list is Medium. There are only so many hours in a week and I just had to cut back.So here they are.... the envelope please... (I watch way to many reality shows)

Television

Best New Shows

  1. Heroes
  2. Justice
  3. 6 Degrees - It's gone already. Guess Connie and I were the only ones watching it.

Best Comedy

  1. The Office - So funny
  2. Curb Your Enthusiasm - Very close to #1. May be the all time funniest show.
  3. The Daily Show

Best Drama

  1. 24 - Can't wait for season 6
  2. The Closer - I love Brenda Lee
  3. Prison Break - Great fall finale
  4. Numb3rs - This adds up to a good show.... sorry
  5. Justice - Victor Garber went straight from Alias to this show and that's why I gave it a try
  6. ER - Still fun after all these years

Best Dramedy

  1. Boston Legal - It gets zanier every episode and Shatner is a riot
  2. Desperate Housewives - Yes I really watch it
  3. Grey's Anatomy

Best Reality

  1. Dancing With The Stars - Go Emmit
  2. Survivor - The tribe has spoken
  3. Project Runway
  4. So You Think You Can Dance - Great second season
  5. American Idol
  6. Last Comic Standing
  7. The Apprentice
  8. The Great Race

Best Mystery

  1. Monk
  2. Cold Case

Best Sci-Fi

  1. Heroes
  2. Lost
  3. Smallville
  4. The 4400
  5. The Dead Zone

Best Game Show

  1. Jeopardy - All the other game shows should take a look at the one that's lasted this long. I can not stand Deal or No Deal, 1 vs 100, Show Me The Money. They drag out too long.

Best Talk Show

  1. The Dick Cavette Show - TCM aired some of the classic interviews and he is still the best there ever was.

Podcast solutions

I've tried many different programs for my podcast catching. Since I use a small USB MP3 player I've found My Podder from Podcast Ready to be quite good. The software gets installed on the USB drive so you always have it with you. The web site also allows you to subscribe to podcasts on line. This is where I think they fail. The interface was very slow and I found it unreliable.

So I just started subscribing via direct RSS feeds.

Then I started playing with ODEO and boy did they get it right. Very easy to search, find and subscribe to Podcasts. The latest podcast from every subscription gets placed in your inbox. You can also drop any other items you find into your inbox without having to subscribe. Now you have one RSS address for your inbox and can go into your pod catching software and subscribe just to one feed which contains all the latest episodes of all your subscribed pod casts.

When you're ready to create your own podcast head over to ODEO Studio. All the tools you need to record, upload and syndicate a podcast. It's that easy. You can view my podcast page, or subscribe to it at http://odeo.com/channel/115193/rss . Look in the right hand margin for the podcast player. If you don't want to go through all the trouble of subscribing, you can just come here and use the built in player to listen.
