Minute Tech 009: What is Colonial Williamsburg?

There is not surprisingly far more about a well-reconstructed educational historic site such as Colonial Williamsburg than one short podcast can introduce you to...but please take a few minutes to see what this wee corner of America's history can do for you, through:

- the emergence of tea in European (and American) society;
- What is Colonial Williamsburg?
- printing pamphlets - the original podcast.

How can we push ourselves forward in thinking about technology without thinking about how our forebears conceived their levels of technology? I find it fascinating to look back at these times of hardship...and how easy they made life appear.

Minute Tech 007: What is a personal computer?

Whaddya mean "what is a personal computer"? Doesn't everyone know that? Well, perhaps for the sake of argument, anyone's who's in the audience for this podcast would know the history of the PC...but I feel it's always instructive to know something of where you've been to understand when you are now...and where you're going to be tomorrow.

The topics for today's Minute Tech podcast:

- Leopard with to-do’s & Notes; Buzzword;
- What is a personal Computer? Mainframes to Wii’s;
- Podfade - has it struck a podcast near you?

The time for this podcast is longer than I like, at about 00:08:30, but lets see if it sounds more natural and less scripted.
