Steve and I are big fans of television and we really like the content we get from cable. We have 5 TVs, 3 of which have TiVos on them with cable cards so we can watch and record a ton of TV. We also like Internet TV content. We use Amazon Instant Video to rent […]

Last week I talked about the awesome $5 app for the iPad (and iPhone) MultiCam from RecoLive that lets you record a multi-camera session using cameras on your iOS devices and Mac and even your desktop.

Every Sunday night between 4:30 and 4:45pm, I get ready to do the live show. It’s a pretty complex operation (I even have a diagram). Most of the hardware pieces are plugged in all the time, my microphone, my camera, and my Mac, but I run seven applications on my main Mac to get the […]

I started in photography with a Minolta X700 in 1978. The day finally came when set aside my trusty camera for the sexiness of digital with the Nikon 950. I didn’t actually get rid of my Minolta because I loved it so much. Time marched on and I went through a series of point and […]

You have a nice camera, be it compact or Digital SLR, and don’t quite like the idea of hanging the camera with the included neck […]

Numerous times in the last few years I have heard podcasters addressing the question “What software should I use instead of Photoshop?” The usual answers include The GiMP, Acorn and Pixelmator. Certainly […]

Greetings fellow NosillaCastaways. Allister here from New Zealand again with a tale of trouble. First, the problem to be solved. How about being called out in the live chat room last week to provide some content? No? OK, how about you’ve taken two weeks off work to get in some quality time with XCode and […]

Hey there Allison, Donald Burr of Otaku no Podcast here, back with another review. Today I am reviewing the Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth headset.
