Cool local VidCast

(I kept wondering why this post didn’t appear on the blog.  It turned out that I had made it a page instead of a post.  One day I’ll have to sit down and learn the WP interface a bit better.)
If you haven’t visited the Orange Marble Studios web site, what are you waiting for? Ian [...]

It’s Mosquito Time

Spring has sprung and the insect kingdom is in full gear. I’m told that the tiny little red spiders that are everywhere are called clover mites. Whatever they are, they are lightweights compared to the Florida state bird, the mosquito. It seems that this year is especially “good” for the skeets.

Our new phone number for the TallyCast, the GrumpCast and Radio MacGuys is +1 (415) 683-3018. What’s up with a Florida podcast having a San Francisco phone number? I picked the 415 exchange as [...]

Cute college kids on teevee.

There’s not a whole lot on the television that attracts me that much. OK, I do admit to a minor reality show addiction and Lost isn’t really television, is it? I’ve recently discovered FSU Weather. Think cute college kids dressed up and learning to read the weather. Sometimes the graphics [...]

The image of “Broadband the Cat” comes from our friends at the Federal Communications Commission.
I’m working on producing a podcast on broadband options in Leon County.  I’m covering Comcast, Embarq, Network Tallahassee, Earthlink, Worldcom and DBS for sure and other ISP’s if folks tell me about them.  I’d like to hear from you and you [...]

Bee Sweet Y’all.

There’s an organization in Tallahassee that celebrates “slow” food. They celebrate food that is grown locally and that is eaten in season. I’m right there with them. Every place I’ve been in my travels has foods and ingredients that are special to that place.
One of the special things about this place; [...]
