When I wrote that I couldn’t live without my Vudu box, I already had a Linux HTPC hooked up to my TV and still thought Vudu rocked. Why was that? There was no easy interface for me to work with all of the media files I had on the HTPC. Using a keyboard and mouse to navigate through Nautilus an...

In January I mentioned that I was invited to come aboard the selection committee for the Technology Association of Georgia’s Top 40 innovative companies competition. As part of the 15-person committee, gave my perspective and thoughts on the applicants as well as provided my evaluation of how ...

It has been a while since I have written about my move to an HD home theater setup. Going HD: Part 1 detailed the arrival of Samsung’s 50-inch plasma HDTV while Going HD: Part 2 with discussing the build of an HTPC. Part 3 will discuss the addition of a 5.1 surround sound system and PlayStatio...

Last year I wrote a tech new year’s resolution post where I wrapped up the year and listed my goals for 2008. I stated that I wanted to reduce clutter in my life in regards to physical possessions and digital assets. I think I have successfully accomplished what I set out to do. After a home i...

Note: I wrote this post 7 months ago while the recently acquired and shutdown Pownce was working on a music service.
