    Trinity Global LLC Mobile Videoconferencing

    I have recently (hmmm, for the past ten years) had the opportunity to be involved in the development of a new twist to an old technology. Until now, videoconferencing has been tied to your desktop or to a conference room. Not any more. Now you can videoconference, with very high quality (much better than 3G),…

  • Where I have been…

    In case you are checking and wondering where the new posts are…. I’ve been so extremely lucky to have landed a short term (now three weeks long) substitute teaching position in a 7th Grade class in the Jefferson Elementary School District. Since starting, I have had to RUN as fast as I can run just…

  • iPod Touch Review

    Rating: 4 WaterTowers My wife was deciding on an iPod or an iPod Touch. Being selfish, and wanting to play with the iPod Touch so I could write about it here, I encouraged her to spend the big bucks on a 32 Gig iPod Touch. I won! Hmmmm, in 25 years I think that is…

  • Watching the Olympics on NBC.com

    UPDATE June 2023: This is soooo old even the pictures are gone! 🙂 Consider this a cool HISTORY lesson on streaming video, WAY BEFORE, streaming video was a thing.

    Linksys Wireless Router Installation and Review

    Rating: 4 WaterTowers This past week I purchased and installed a Linksys Wireless Router for a client. But before I installed the system at their location, I tried it at home to make sure it worked. It did. Product Linksys Wireless Router WRT54G2 comes in a sleek package looking more like a flying saucer than…

  • Embed Video on a Blog

    It is actually very easy to embed a video on a blog. On YouTube, there is an easy way to grab a bit of code called: embed. Hmmmm, words that say what they mean. In a Blog, such as this one, you have to go into the “Edit HTML” mode and paste the embed code…

  • Telecommuting and the Segway

    OK…we have all heard and seen T. Boone Picken’s and Al Gore’s plans for saving the environment. Great plans… (Political comment to Congress and the Prez: Spend the money on the future of renewable energy sources). Today, I saw an article that stated that telecommuting is just as bad as commuting since you will still…

  • Cuil: A New Search Engine

    This week some ex-Google employees launched a new web search engine: Cuil. Pronounced: Cool. Being the curious type I went to the Cuil web site and fired up a few searches. So far it appears as though they still have a bit of work to do. Here are two screen shots of a search for…

  • Cool Application: AT&T Video Share

    I was poking around the Internet looking for 3G cell phone video conferencing applications (I did NOT find one, by the way) when I ran across the AT&T Video Share app. This is interesting even though it is only one way video (it has two way audio). With the right phone and the right service,…

  • Save the Environment

    I am starting a new post “Label” called “Save the Environment”. Under this new label will go all the Telecommuting and some of the renewable energy articles I have posted recently. It is time to become aware that the human race is harming the environment, endangering both animals and humans alike (we are animals….). The…
