Google Reader This will be big. Giving it a spin right now to see how it compares to Bloglines (my favorite and daily driver) and NewsGator Online. Thanks to Robert for the heads-up from the Web 2.0 conference. EDIT: First Impressions: It barfed on importing my Bloglines exported OPML. Only imported 42 of 600 + […]

I’ve been thinking about what it is that I find valuable in reading 700+ RSS feeds, mostly blogs. I think I’ve found the answer: Humans! Humans! Humans! (yes, that’s a spoof of the famous Steve Balmer developersx3! video 🙂 I like to read blogs (listen to podcasts, etc.) that convey a human voice. Written by […]

I’ll post more later, but I’m busy playing with getting acclimated to my new Samsung i730 Pocket PC phone. The reason I switched to Verizon? EVDO. I did some bandwidth tests in various locations today, and was getting from 300-800 Kbps. Sweet! Browsing is incredibly fast, especially with Bloglines Mobile, which is where I do […]

Quick inventory of the gadgets I’m carrying right now (and pretty much every day), and what I use them for. This is what I call my “standard loadout”: Dell Axim X50V Pocket PC – eBooks, TV shows, Rocketboom, Channel 9 videos, WiFi browsing, Skype, blogging, etc. Audiovox SMT5600 Windows Mobile Smartphone – Communications. Voice, email, […]

There was a great post on the internal Intel blog over the weekend about how Intel will not benefit as much from blogging as Microsoft, and that I’ll never be Intel’s Scoble. He makes a lot of interesting points, and here is how I responded on my internal blog. In short, this is what I […]

I’m on the train right now, listening to podcasts on my Shuffle, and reading feeds via Bloglines Mobile on my BlackBerry. Mike Lehman’s Manic Minute was just on, wishing Dave Winer a happy birthday, and recommending Morning Coffee Notes as the podcast of the day. I was reading Dave’s Scripting News feed at the time […]

Here’s this week’s show. So much cool geeky stuff that we run out of time, and left lots of stuff out. Maybe we’ll have to do a supplemental show this week to catch up. This week’s show is about 45 minutes, and weighs in at about 20 MB. As always, you can listen to the […]

As I approach 1400 subscribed feeds in Bloglines, I’ve been making some changes in the way I read my feeds. First, I’m adding more feeds to my Short List category. That’s the one I’m paying the most attention to. I migrating the really good feeds in my other categories into the Short List, so I […]

Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger – Josh wows me with Dell Axim PocketPC. RSS, video, and more Robert wrote up a lengthy post about his impressions of our lunch last Friday. I didn’t go in with any intentions of convincing anyone about anything – I just wanted to show off the really cool stuff I can […]

I’ve made a couple of updates to the site: post titles are now links to the permanent post page, I cleaned up the blogroll section to reflect only gadget-related sites (go to GeekBlog.org for my general blog, with more links in the blogroll), and I’ve implemented expandible posts, which means that you click on the […]
