  • Motorola XOOM

    Looks like this new tablet from Motorola may cut into the sales of the iPad. Can you hear me know?   Kinda late….but, maybe better late than never applies. It uses the Android 3.0 operating system. I hear it comes with two cameras, one front facing for video chats (video conferencing) and taking pictures of…

  • Toshiba Android Tablet

    It looks like Toshiba is coming out soon with an Android based tablet.  I love Toshiba computers!  See the header picture to see my “Old Faithful” Toshiba laptop (6 years old and still going strong), and am writing this on my new Satellite A665.  Lori and Kristen both love their Toshiba laptops… Before buying a…

  • Google Chrome Web Store

    Cloud Cool Another day, another cool new technology thingy from Google. If you ever wondered how you could live in the cloud, today’s introduction of the “chrome web store” may provide the beginnings of an answer. But only the beginnings… Using Chrome (the only browser that works) you can go here and download any number…

  • Livestream Video Streaming on Facebook

    OK, this is cool. A few seconds after I downloaded the free app “Livestream Podcaster” I was streaming live video from the AltamontCowork public computer to Facebook!

  • XtraNormal Text to Movie App

    Rating:  5 WaterTowers (super cool Internet based technology!) If you can write…you can make a movie using xtranormal.com software…I’m sorry, but, this is wickedly cool, and I just had to share it. Coworking is cool!  I did this at…

  • Google Dumps Wave

    So maybe I am a late breaking blog?  How funny.  On that note:  Did anyone see the effects of the solar storm?  I did not. Anyway….I was reading ComputerWorld online today and saw that Google has dropped WAVE. No surprise there. AltamontCowork member, Phil, and I played with it last year (when we finally got…

  • Posting from ipod touch

    Playing with my wife’s new 64g iPod touch,I downloaded a wordpress app (free) that allows me to post. Did this work? If so….very cool!

  • Barnes and Noble Nook

    Caveat:  I have not tried the Nook.  The information below is from information I received at the store or online. You may know by now that I have been resistant to adopting the electronic readers (oddly enough for someone who loves new technology). You also probably know that I love to read (see TracyReaderDad.com)  and, to me,…
