Some of the links discussed:

Snapcast #1

So I’ve coined a new term (I think) - Snapcast. It’s a short, down and dirty podcast. The idea is that between my big episodes, I’ll be posting quick (10-15 minutes) podcasts of a specific subject.
The first snapcast is an interview with Lee LeFever from CommonCraft.com. The interview focuses on Lee’s recent trip to Nothern Voice. [...]

On the way here, I listened to Ben and Jackie’s first [...]

My iTalk has been causing me issues lately, and with my new iPod Photo the thing just isn’t working at all. So now I get [...]

A community for absolutely everything

The Internet is such a great thing. If you have an interest in absolutely anything, there’s a group of people ready to discuss it - including snack food.
As an interesting side note, check out their Top 10 list of snack foods.

Hobbies and the Internet

The other day I pulled out one of my old FineScale Modeler magazines  from 1996. Flipping through the pages I stumbled on an article talking about what the Internet was, and how you could use it in the hobby.
Reading this article with gems like “It doesn’t matter if your computer is a PC or a Macintosh, it [...]

BzzAgent Jake

After railing on the idea of BzzAgents for a while now, I figured I should probably check it out more in detail. So yesterday I signed up to be a BzzAgent myself.
If you haven’t heard of this, or don’t know the details, here they are. Basically people sign up to be BzzAgents (with some details [...]
