The Top Ten Things I Like About Windows Vista!! (Don’t Tell Anyone)

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

Despite Scott’s slagging of Vista today, I like it - especially now that I’ve got 2GB RAM. Don’t tell anyone. I’d hate for Jeff Putt to hear about it.
Okay so, as I said on the show the other night, it isn’t the major new paradigm that was promised over those long, long, Longhorn years. [...]

Calling All Educators

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

With the success of The Napoleon Podcast on TPN, I’d really like to develop a whole catalogue of educational podcasts. It strikes me that there are probably tens of thousands of retired educators around the world who have knowledge, educational skills, and time. With podcasting they can each continue to make a significant contribution to [...]

White House gagged scientist

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

From the LA Times’ coverage of the Hansen case:
James Hansen, director of the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, took particular issue with the administration’s rule that a government information officer listen in on his interviews with reporters and its refusal to allow him to be interviewed by National [...]

My guest today is Elizabeth Godo, a media studies student from Toronto, who has written an excellent analysis of the US media’s treatment of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez.

Intelligent analysis of “Bong Hits 4 Jesus” case

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Scenario: A student stands out the front of a high school with a banner reading “Bong Hits 4 Jesus”.
Question: Should he be allowed to? Can the school expel him on the grounds that his message is “pro-drug”? Or is that a violation of his freedom of speech? Can the student sue the Principal of [...]

Shout Outs

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Big shout outs tonight to my old buddy Shane Williamson for chucking some cash into the Shave thing. Thanks mate. Oh and thanks Jesus. Shane recently sold a copy of the infamous Microsoft Bob on ebay for the princely sum of $15.50. I’ve often thought about when the time will be right for me to [...]

Why HP don’t have Windows Vista drivers for the HP Photosmart 7150
How hard it is to move your iTunes library from your old PC to your new PC
Why Office 2007 is so [...]

The Napoleon Podcast gets a mention in USA TODAY

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

My co-host, the right honourable J. David Markham, did an interview recently with a journalist from USA TODAY and as a result our little show got a small mention in a bigger article about podcasting. Of course, they named the show incorrectly and didn’t link to it in the online article, but it’s still nice [...]

The New Head

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

Hunter was mucking about with the camera this arvo and took some photos of the new head. Thanks to Christophe and Michael who have contributed post-shave to the donation site. It’s now up to $460!
The new head is growing on me (no pun intended). Belinda hates it and says I look like a thug. [...]
