U2 fan page @U2 reports that U2’s concert on Sunday will be streamed live on YouTube. It won’t be available for me in the Czech Republic (it’d be 5:30 am, anyway) but it might be available where you are. The good news is, it’ll be archived on U2’s YouTube page afterward. Oh, and if that…

Hofbräuhaus Goes 21st Century (For the Kids)
The family and I were in Munich this weekend and made the requisite trip to one of the seven beer wonders of the world – the Hofbräuhaus. It was about my 10th time there and it appears to have grown up as much as I have while still maintaining an intense love of beer. The…
How the Zunepass Changed My Life
I’ve only had it for a week and already the Zunepass has changed the way I listen to music. I was in a rut with my music collection. It was expansive but really, really stagnant. I hadn’t found any good bands in quite a while using my Emusic subscription and I was in a musical…
Zunepass First Impressions
I finally started my trial period of the Zunepass this weekend. I was impressed by the new Zune software and all of the coverage for the new Zune HD’s has helped to build in a little more brand loyalty. The 4.0 version of the Zune desktop software is really slick and stable. Adding the Zunepass…
Slingbox in the Vienna Airport
Man, I can’t get over how much I love this chunk of tech. It’s 7 in the morning and I’m watching Fox News in the Cafe Bistro Johann Strauss in the Vienna Airport. I’ve got Russians slurping beers to one side and goodness knows what else to the other side and I’m focused on Newt…
Go Big Red!
Yeah, I may be jetting off to Bosnia tomorrow but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy my last few hours in civilization as I please. I’ve chosen to stream the Nebraska Cornhuskers pre-game show (and eventually the game) on the bedroom and living room computers. So, as I’m back and forth putzing and packing, I…
Some Interesting Tech Links
Swiss ban Google’s street-view feature over privacy concerns. I am having fun taking virtual tours of Paris in advance our our visit there. Not sure how I feel about this one- I could argue both sides. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles- the future of the Air Force. Cool stuff. Energy for Europe to be provided by world’s…
Zune HD TV Interface
Those of you that have been paying any attention know that I am a HUGE Windows Media Center fan. However, I think I just may have found a chunk of software (and hardware) that outdoes it. It’s the new Zune HD hooked up to a TV and running what looks like a beefed up Media…
NH Phone Home?
I’m testing a WordPress feature with this post. Allegedly, it lets me post via e-mail. This could make it easier to post from the road. Is that a good thing? Garbage in, garbage out.
Sync Windows Live Calendar with Outlook 2007?
Can it be done? Does anybody out in Internet land know how to do it? This guy tried and failed – just like me this morning. Maybe in Windows 7?
Surround Sound in My Vista Media Center
I’ve had my Vista Media center running on a seven or eight year old Sony Vaio desktop for a little over two years now. It has been an alternately exhilarating and maddening project. A while back, I got a new TV and a new satellite box and nearly drove myself mad figuring out how to…
Hands Free Soap Dispenser
I’ve quit buying kitchen gadgets because we simply don’t have the room in our apartment. Drawers and cupboards are full to the brim with the essentials and we only still own the garlic press because my wife uses it. So, I know I don’t need this but as a man with 2 robots to clean…
Font of Information
I did a lot of things on my “putz around the house” list today. One of them was to come up with the totally illegible font below. I made it using yourfonts.com. For free. Any whack-o can do it. Now you know why I learned how to type. It kind of looks like a ransom…
Garmin and Google – A Sync Match Made in Navigation Heaven
So I’m busy planning a trip to Spain with my brother that starts next week and am having fun “walking” the streets of Madrid using Google’s Street View feature. Along the way, I save all sorts of points to my map. By the time I’m finished, my map of Madrid is dotted with more tenedores…
Obama and the Federal “Tech” System
The President’s folks are setting up shop at the White House and seem appalled with what they are finding. Now, just imagine coordinating the relief effort of one of the largest hurricanes to hit the USA with this technology. Then, consider that you are using that tech to command a largely Federal work force with…
