We’re about to hit the ground running, here, and I want to make sure we have the business side of things fully in place before that happens.  Since I’m already losing track of things, even though we don’t have much going on yet, I’ve been looking into studio management software, to help keep us on [...]

A blogger I follow was wondering how to capture streaming audio from the internet, and I told him I’d look into it for him.  (Hi Tim!)  I found many options for both Mac and Windows users, and thought I’d pass them along.

I also stumbled across some video-capture programs while I was searching, so I’ll probably [...]

I’m not really a big text messager, but occasionally it seems to be the easiest way to get a message to somebody.  I’m pretty fast with the keypad on my phone, even though I don’t do it all that often, but Clint is pretty much agonizingly slow with his.  In any event, whether you’re fast [...]

We had an FTP freak-out here tonight.  If Clint had been working on something besides his Dad’s blog, it could have been a pain in the neck because we’d have had to either transfer everything to my laptop, or upload over the network—which just seems like a really bad idea, not to mention slow.

Basically, you go to the website and [...]

Just found out about this from Cali Lewis over at GeekBrief.tv (which I love, love, LOVE!), and I’m very excited about it—at least, I’m excited about the amount of paper I’ll no longer be wasting:
PrintWhatYouLike is a free webpage editor that gives you control of how webpages look when printed.  You simply enter the URL [...]

Anyone who’s looked into royalty-free or royalty-managed photos on the cheap knows that it’s anything but.  Certainly not if you’re looking for photos regarding current affairs.  Corbis, Getty Images, the Associated Press, et al, have the good stuff, and they know it; you’ll pay handsomely—easily into the thousands—for even a handful of newsworthy photos.
There are [...]
