How To Subscribe To A Podcast - Video Tutorial

Podcasts are a wonderful source of entertainment. Generally speaking, ordinary people like you and me decide they have something to share and publish it online for others to enjoy — for free! Community participation is what inspires podcasters to continue to publish content.

Podcasts come in audio and video formats, covering most every subject imaginable. If you haven’t done so, I suggest you take some time to explore the breadth of content and creativity out there.

To get you started, I recorded a brief video tutorial (7 min) explaining the basics of how to subscribe to a podcast. You’ll learn:

• The fancy buzzwords.
• Podcatching software to make subscribing and organizing easy.
• How to subscribe to any podcast.
• How to find RSS feed links you need.

I hope you find this useful. Enjoy!

BD-019 - A Real Man’s Universal Remote (Vidcast)

I’m not a big couch potato, but I LOVE my
Logitech Harmony Universal Remote.

It’s like no other universal remote. Forget the $20 generic universal remotes you buy in the electronics section of Target. Invest in a serious device for serious equipment.

It certainly costs more, but the benefits are huge:

• User customizable buttons to group specific devices together for certain functions.
• Save time! One click to turn on/off a group of devices.
• Save money! No need to waste all those batteries in five different remotes.
• Save space! Hide those extra individual remotes.
• Less confusion. A visual interface help with troubleshooting by asking you Yes/No questions to solve the problem.
• Get the latest codes online for over 175,000 devices (i.e. TV, DVD, VCR, Tuner, Game system, Satellite box, Cable box).

Also, reduces the chance of kids screwing something up. If they somehow wipe the codes from the remote, simply plug it into your computer and download your custom settings again.

Hope you find this tech tip useful.

BD-015 - Air Rocket Fun (Vidcast)

Took my older sons to the field to play with our
Air Hogs Counterstrike Air Rocket.

Keep in mind these simple rules to keep everyone safe:

• Find a big empty field.
• Set up away from other people.
• Try not to stand over the launcher.
• Keep your hand off the pull cord until everyone is clear of the launcher.
• Don’t aim the rocket at a person or animal.
• Have fun!

What do you do to get your kids out of the house to burn up some energy?

BD-V02 - Fathers Day Song

Normally I’d rather hit myself over the head with a sippy cup than subject you to my “adorable little angels.” But my 4 year old suddenly sang a Father’s Day song and came up with some interesting ways to describe me.

If you can’t view a Quicktime movie, switch to Mac! (Just kidding…kinda)
