Hi,
Great episode as always. Amber on windy days maybe you could put your hair in a bun…LOL.
Here’s a site you guys may want to check out, you all probably know it.
It’s called SpeedFan and is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures. http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php
In case anyone has trouble finding the download link here it is: http://www.almico.com/speedfan439.exe
@Tyler: Yeah, I was really impressed with how easy the Asus Homeplug was to set up and use - maybe I wouldn’t have had to crawl under my house and drill holes to run ethernet through to the basement if I had’ve known about this beforehand .
@Mark: I hear ya - I always try to balance out the Apple stuff but can’t deny that, living and working in an all-Mac environment (aside from Boot Camp/Parallels), that I get a lot more exposure to Apple products than Windows products. The fact that iPods, iPhone, iTunes, Apple TV, etc. all being Windows-compatible or platform agnostic certainly helps me make sure that I’m not just catering to people with Macs on their desktops (and I rarely cover anything that is Mac-only for exactly that reason). That said, I’ll try to keep opening up some new areas of coverage and very much appreciate your comment!
Academic Earth aggregates all this material so you can audit classes from the comfort of your computer. http://www.academicearth.com/
Unlike on eBay, the people selling stuff on Shop Goodwill often don’t know what they’ve got, so great deals abound. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/
Here’s the Supercook way: Open your fridge and pantry, type the ingredients you have into the site’s search bar and stand back. Supercook will look through its database of 300,000-plus recipes and spit out the ones that match. http://www.supercook.com/
Most serious travelers carry a folder with printouts of their flight, car and restaurant reservations. With TripIt, you can simply forward all that information to plans@tripit.com, and the website’s “itinerator” does the rest. Everything is organized in one place, and the itinerator will fetch weather forecasts and maps, so you’ll be totally prepared. The information can be printed, accessed via iPhone and shared with friends. Even cooler, a social-networking feature of TripIt will alert you if you’re about to cross paths with a friend who is also signed up with the service. So if you and one of your old buddies happen to have a similar layover, you’ll know beforehand and be able to meet up. http://www.tripit.com/
Enjoyed the episode but not the placement or the continuous presence of the banner ad. These features are annoying enough to cause me to not purchase the product. How about trying an alternative placement and interval.
@jeff: Thanks for the reply, I do like learning about the new cool products you show like the iPhone 3Gs and the AirCurve so I don’t mind that much. Being someone who doesn’t have an iPod does suck sometimes because of all the iPod hype I hear so learning about the new Apple products do help me get caught up in the Apple world. Also being in a Linux environment I do forget about other people being in a Mac/Windows environment. Also want to apologize if my comment sounded too harsh.
I was in Toronto a few months back and was keeping my eye out for cool back alleys and the funky outside locations you guys always seem to find! Lovely city and the iPhone wifi package was a bargain!
Keep up the good work and thanks for all your continued efforts!
@Sembazuru: The Asus one is the only one I’ve tried but obviously there are other players out there in this space . Not sure if they all come with additional software like the Asus does (Windows only, though) - in any case, was very pleased with the incredible ease of setup and use.
@Jeff: Fair answer. It might have been a good thing to have made a statement like that at the beginning of the segment (something like, “this is a powerline device [describe what powerline is], many manufacturers make them but this is the one that I’ve personally tested/played with” and go on with your experiences). Other than that (minor point), good segment.
I personally have used the Devolo brand name after one of my Netgear Powerlines “blew” for no reason. Devolo makes some great ones. http://www.devolo.com/ I use them to expand Wireless evenly in the household through the think German walls. Andy
…err…thats “thick German walls” not “think German walls”. (The “Preview” doesn’t work…yeah…it’s the preview’s fault…and we all know German walls don’t think right?)
John: You can use Jing which is free and post it to screencasts. it gives you a URL you can copy anywhere http://blog.jingproject.com/ The people that make Camtasia for PC and Now Mac

@Saltydog - that is a GREAT idea! This show was shot just before the tornadoes hit the T.O. area!

No offence but finally something that isn’t Apple! (Not that I hate Apple it’s that I don’t have any of their products!)

“Too many Wills” is imposible
Sorry, but how is the Asus Homeplug different than all the different powerline adapters from Netgear, Linksys, D-Link, etc?
@Sembazuru: The Asus one is the only one I’ve tried but obviously there are other players out there in this space

Thanks for the tip on screenr. Does anyone know of a similar web based product that is not tied to Twitter?
@Andy O: Thanks for the heads up!
