Twitter Me 24hrThis years 24hr Podcast will largely be run the same way it was last year. There will be a live video stream from the studio here in Hawaii, and a way to Dial/Skype/Voip in and participate live.

We welcome anyone that wants to put the Streaming Video embed on their home page. Download the attached text file with the embed codes and add it to your website on Saturday Morning.

This is a Live and Interactive event so if you want to participate in the conversations taking place, and I encourage you to do so you will need to dial into the Talkshoe. The process is simple Signup for a Talkshoe.com account once you have done so. Dial the following number 724–444–7444 Call ID is 10832 followed by the Pin you were issued. A short instructional video is here.

The best way to experience this event is the video stream on one part of your screen and the live chat and discussion on another. I will have the audio from Talkshoe patched into the Ustream Video feed.  

I will at times be moderating the audience. Here is the quickest way to get permanently muted during the event.

  • Call in from a party or public place, and have noise on your call.
  • Speakers on PC turned way up and causing a feedback loop.
  • Talking while you phone or mic is not muted to someone not on show!
  • Being a troll and self promoting every 2 minutes

    • Ways to never be muted

  • Use a headset

    • If you are a guest please be on the line 10 minutes early. Generally it takes me 2–3 minutes to switch over from segment to segment. If you do not show up we keep on moving.

    Their are two sites that will have the stream by default here and at 24hrpodcast.com.

    See you on Saturday!

  • Intels touchscreen netbook

    In the world of gadgets smaller usually translates to cooler. While the new rnage of netbooks on the market have had some success in this paradigm I have not yet seen much to get me excited by them. They are not small enough to be radically easier to carry, and they are not large enough to be convenient to use for most purposes. The ultra-thin laptops are generally the better compromise position.

    Until recently touchscreen laptops have not really lived up to the hype either. The speed of the handwriting recognition has not allowed them to live up to the promise. With the advances in touch screens, particularly multi-touch technology, the likelihood of this market becoming successful is growing.

    Intel have combined new the latest touchscreen tech
