We made it. Not the way we had planned, but as Allen always says, “Computers and Murphy’s law go hand in hand”. We will try to do the talkshoe thing again soon, but for this podcast we will have to settle for the old fashioned way. We review our usual website, free software, podcast and give some helpful tips. As always, we have some great new music too. Check it out and let us know what you think on our audio feedback options or leave us a comment. We’d love to hear from you.

It’s our one year anniversary! We just keep coming, like the energizer bunny. This Podcast takes a look at Google’s new start page called igoogle. You’ve got to get one. It is so cool. Allen shows us Adobe’s new smaller reader called “digital edition.” Lon introduces us to Greg Boyd’s sermon podcast. He’s the pastor at Woodland Hills Church. Allen tells us how to get those large files to friends and family without clogging up our email. Next month on Friday July 13 at 9:00 p.m. CST we are doing the live show on talkshoe again. Be there or be square. Click on the links below for more info. Leave us a comment.

Twelve months of Good News Geeks! Who would have thought? Allen and Lon are back at it with a great new show. In this episode we look at a movie review website called Crosswalk and in particular a review on the movie just out on DVD, Deja Vu starring Denzel Washington. A free program called Scratch is showcased. The kids will love this animation video creation software. We sample a podcast called Napkin Scribbles with Leonard Sweet (we listened to something else by him in podcast 6). And, Allen tells us everything we will ever need (or want) to know about Bluetooth Technology. Click on the links below for more info. Leave us a comment. We’d love to get your feedback.

We had a great time with out first live show on TalkShoe. We hope to do it again in the future, so if you like what you hear join in next time. Of course we talked about websites, software, podcasts and tech tips like we always do. Lon and Alan had some of their own recommendations like always, but what made this show great was the input by the listeners. All the links mentioned in the podcast are below. Let us know what you think.

The new Year is off to a good start and here is the first Podcast we have this year. We will review a cool website called The Ooze and talk about an article posted there that discusses the 80/20 principle. We will introduce you to some cool Google Apps that help you do 3-D modeling and share documents and spreadsheets. The podcast we review is called On the Verge, and explores more topics in the emergent church movement. Allen also has some great tips on how to best burn DVD’s and how to solve problems with your DVD player not playing DVD’s.
