The Shock Jock without a Cock, Madge Weinstein,  has brought us a number of things thru her podcast and videblog, but this new gem that was layed upon us is simply the best Paris Hilton interview ever. Too bad it wasn't Madge doing interview, but Todd Longwell seemed to do a pretty good job.
Paris Hilton Podcast


Rogers Cadenhead is giving away 4 copies of his book Radio Userland Kick Start. If you didn't know, and you HAVE to know based on how much I talk about RU, that my entire blog is run using this amazing piece of software.

I posted a comment on his blog entry about how much I want a copy of this book. I have looked at Borders, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, etc to no avail to get my hands on a copy of this book. NO PLACE HAS IT NEAR ME!!

Now I did want to mention that I found this link from Steve Kirks' blog today. He is, I'm sure, sick of me bugging him for help on things when I have a question about RU. If I had a copy of the book I'm sure that he could get back to making RU even more of a resource and incredible program for the world to enjoy.

So, I guess this is my plea.....I would LOVE a copy of the book.... I guess now all I can do is cross my fingers and hope that it is sent to : PO Box 13354, Saint Petersburg, Fl 33713.


WHY OH WHY!!!!??! I find the perfect gadget bag...not a purse and not $800 either...and the company hasn't sold them since 2003. What luck. It was made by Infusion Threads. and was called the Pack Sport. Cost $48. Sigh. Read this review on it. Any ideas on a gadget bag that is small enough to carry around? not big enough for a laptop, but big enough to carry around about 8 or so gadgets?





Footprint Time for some more Apple news...looks like the eMac got a speed bump making it just as powerful as the high end Mac Mini. The specs for the low end eMac and high end Mac Mini seem to be identical.The difference is that price but that is only $150...and when you factor in that you are getting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor for $150 the difference is nothing.

Both models are 1.42gigs, but the high end has 160 gig hd (compared to 80gig), 512 ram (compared to 256), Superdrive 8X (compared to combo drive).

Price:
Combo drive version: $799 / Student - $749
Super Drive version: $999 / Student - $899


Enough Apple news for now...Google has a new logo:

National Teacher Day

Looks like it's National Teacher Day.


The display is the computer. Well it finally is released! The New NEW new iMac G5's are out as of today! Here are the stats bumps...no hardware changes really, just speed jumps:

CUPERTINO, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/—Apple(R) today unveiled a new iMac(R) G5 line with faster 2.0 GHz PowerPC G5 processors, built-in AirPort(R) Extreme and Bluetooth wireless connectivity and Mac OS(R) X version 10.4 “Tiger,” the latest version of the world’s most advanced operating system. The new iMac G5s also include faster graphics, a new 8X SuperDrive(R) with double-layer support, built-in Gigabit Ethernet for faster networking, and 512MB of memory across the line. Every new iMac G5 comes with iLife(R) ‘05, Apple’s award-winning suite of digital lifestyle applications, making it the ultimate consumer desktop for today’s digital lifestyle.

2.0gig 17" - $1499 / Student - $1399
2.0gig 20" - $1799 / Student - $1699

The major upgrade besides speed bump is the 512 ram built in, and the wifi and bluetooth built in. These features would bump the price up a few hundred bucks previously. Looks like I have found my next Apple purchase!


porn mode
I found this last night on TUAW. I figured my friend Nick (not me I have a friend named Nick), could use this.
Here's the steps:
  1. Right-click on Safari(.app) and click on "Show Package Contents"
  2. Follow the trail to Contents > Resources > English.Iproj > MainMenu.nib
  3. Double-click MainMenu.nib to open Interface Builder.
  4. Click on the "Safari" test menu that pops up, and double-click on "Privacy Browsing".
  5. Replace it with "Porn Mode" :)
  6. File > Save.. and restart Safari.


Well I paid $100 for mine, but that was the refreshed price. The regular price is $130 and now for a limited time (until May 23rd) but it now comes with 30 free songs from iTunes. I would get this if I needed another one. The student price is $119 and with the extra tunes, it is worth it to pay the full price.



The Word of the Day for May 3, 2005 is: Rice


Well I had a good conversation with Eric Rice last night for a while via skype. He is working with KSSX to get this podcasting radio thing going. He told me that he might be bringing on a pr0n star on the podcast and maybe even start her with her own video-cast. Now that would be something to see... ;-)
