Traffic Exchange
Monday, 31 January 2005 12:53 P GMT-05
It seems like more and more bloggers are using traffic exchange services. I myself have been using Blog Explosion for a month or two now, but have been seeing more traffic exchange sites pop up, so I thought I'd try them out and report my first imp

Hackers on Low-Carb
Friday, 28 January 2005 7:12 P GMT-05
Wow, this Salon.com article is perhaps one of the coolest I've read in a while, and the most up my alley in terms of combining different interests:There's nothing particularly bleeding-edge about eating the hamburger but not the bun, now that low-car
Live Aid Contest
Friday, 28 January 2005 12:54 P GMT-05
As I've written, I'm giving away a few copies of the 4-disk DVD Set of the Live Aid concert. The contest involves writing a bit about how you (or a friend/relative) remembers it. I realized that I actually hadn't written anything myself about it,
More Disappointments for the Treo 650
Thursday, 27 January 2005 11:03 A GMT-05
I know that I concentrate on this one phone when there are others out there, but from all I read the Treo 600 and 650 have the most media buzz about them. Is PalmOS the best platform for a smartphone? I don't know. There are certainly other OS'

Wholefoods, a chain of natural food supermarkets in the U.S. recently helped set up a foundation called the Animal Compassion Foundation whose purpose is to develop and promote practices in animals used for food that are compassionate and humane. T

Live Aid DVD Contest Still Open
Tuesday, 25 January 2005 4:37 P GMT-05
I know it's hard to believe, but my DVD giveaway contest is still open on DVDMON.com. Please, readers, help me out. I'm trying to give these away and it seems like there's no interest. All you gotta do is write up a small piece about how you re
More Free Gadgets
Friday, 21 January 2005 12:19 P GMT-05
Hmmm, these free gadget referral sites are a bit addictive. After signing up for a Mac Mini, I thought of the one other gadget that I would a) love to have, and b) is a bit pricier than I can justify just buying it because it looks cool – real

Free Mac minis
Friday, 21 January 2005 12:07 P GMT-05
Well, I finally did it. I signed up for one of those free[fill-in-the-blanks].com offers. For a long time I thought this was a very obvious scam, but it apparently really isn't. For some reason most of these offers - or actually all of them tha

Those Diet Fads and Crazes
Wednesday, 19 January 2005 3:54 P GMT-05
I get these Google alerts for anything with "low-carb" in the title. For months and months, I've been seeing headlines "low-carb losing steam" or some such. Some of this was based on the erroneous assumption that just because

NPR Revenue Streams
Wednesday, 19 January 2005 11:05 A GMT-05
I've been playing with this program Replay Radio which allows me to audio streams that are playing through my computer. There are a bunch of programs that do similar things. I'm going to be posting a larger piece about this soon enough, but for n

Treo 650 available to most of us?
Monday, 17 January 2005 10:52 A GMT-05
It looks like the Treo 650 may soon be available to most of the world. For the last couple of months, it's been exclusively available in one country (the U.S.) from one provider (Sprint) using a radio protocol (CDMA) that is incompatible with 99% o

TiVo, TiVo ToGo and Content Portability
Friday, 14 January 2005 3:54 P GMT-05
On January 3rd, just as CES 2005 was getting under way, TiVo announced TiVo ToGo, a service they've been talking about for around a year now. As many of you know, this service will allow you to transfer your TiVo programs or movies to a computer, a

Live Aid Giveaway Contest on DVDMon.com
Wednesday, 12 January 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
Just a note that I just started a DVD Giveaway contest on my DVDMon.com site:For many Baby Boomers, Woodstock was a defining moment in their lives, musically and otherwise. For gen-X’ers like myself Live Aid was not quite that defining, but it was

The "New" USDA Food Guide
Wednesday, 12 January 2005 4:51 P GMT-05
Oops they did it again. Well, the USDA has taken a crack at revising their food guide recommendations, as they do every five years, and what has all the latest science provided for in this most recent document? Not much.Going through the guide, I

Random gift day?
Wednesday, 12 January 2005 1:16 P GMT-05
I had this idea, kind of random. A lot of people post their wish lists (mostly Amazon.com wish lists) on their blogs or websites as a reference for family and friends. I've always thought how cool it might be to get a random item from my wish lis
Everwood and TV Series DVDs
Tuesday, 11 January 2005 11:59 P GMT-05
As some of you know, I also run a website devoted to DVD news and reviews. DVDMon.com has been up now for over five years. Recently I got to review a new DVD set put out by Warner Home Video of the first season of the WB series Everwood. I thou

Andrew over and Treonauts just reported on a new device that may provide true wifi capabilities to both the Treo 600 and the Treo 650!I've written previously about how a hacker recently was able to make modifications to the Treo 650's firmware as w

Podcasting
Monday, 10 January 2005 12:46 P GMT-05
I haven't devoted a whole entry to podcasting yet, only referring to it here and there, so I thought I'd do something a little more detailed. For many this will be old news. Podcasting has gotten a lot of mainstream media attention lately even th

Content Overload
Sunday, 9 January 2005 7:06 P GMT-05
First, let me apologize for the lack of content here recently. I was traveling for the holidays, developed a cold that made doing anything a real pain, then came back and have been trying to catch up on reading all the gadget news. With CES just
