Minute Tech 017: What do you shoot video with?

What do you shoot video with? A professional level cinema camera, or a webcam? Do you have a nice DV camcorder, or a basic level digital snap-shot camera? Whatever you have available to you, you can make video, a.k.a. moving pictures.

Today we just touch on the camera possibilities, as well as some news items from the world of blogging and Space, the other final frontier.

- The X-prize and light sabers on the Space Shuttle;
- What do you shoot video with?
- Pghbloggers.org and Podcamp rules.

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.
