Well I am back home from the Podcast and New Media Expo and I’m exhausted. I had a great time and I was able to participate in many live shows. I will post a few of those in the feed later this week.

I also shot video of some of the highlights and interesting people I met. I will also post those videos on this page later this week, however will likely not post them on the feed. Let’s start the videos with Chris Brogan c0-founder of the Podcamp concept opening the 2007 Podcamp SoCal.

I am a self admitted Rouge Amoeba “fanboy.”

I absolutely love and promote all of the software produced by Paul Kafasis and the gang in New Jersey.The release of Radioshift has done nothing but solidify that “fanboy” status. According to Rouge Amoeba…

With Radioshift, you control Internet and AM/FM radio from around the world. Listen and record - Radioshift is radio on your schedule!

Radioshift is like Tivo for your radio on your computer. The application gives you instant access to over 50,000 radio stations in the world. Within 5 minutes of loading this application, I was listening to a Cuban radio station not from Miami but from Cuba. To me that kind of ability to explore radio around the world coupled with it’s ability to subscribe and automatically record any of thousands of radio programs. is something I’ve been waiting for. After you have found then scheduled your favorite programs to record you can then play all of this content live or have it moved to your iTunes for listening like podcasts.

I have invited Paul Kafasis to join me on a future show to talk about this latest innovation from Rouge. Until then, you can download Radioshift right now or visit the Radioshift web page to learn more. Once you’ve tested Radioshift, it can be purchased for just $32 for one license or $59 for a family pack from their online store. Visit the Radioshift page now and get started

 Attention: Corrections to post were made as a result of post comments that were accurate. So read all the comments before you think about flamming.

Douglas E. Welch who was just on the show last night sent me an email with a link to a Gizmodo article where Apple is warning iPhone owners who have hacked their phones that “Unlocked iPhones Will Brick After Software Update (Coming Later This Week).”

Apple has discovered that many of the unauthorized iPhone unlocking programs available on the Internet cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software, which will likely result in the modified iPhone becoming permanently inoperable when a future Apple-supplied iPhone software update is installed. Apple plans to release the next iPhone software update, containing many new features including the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store (www.itunes.com), later this week. Apple strongly discourages users from installing unauthorized unlocking programs on their iPhones. Users who make unauthorized modifications to the software on their iPhone violate their iPhone software license agreement and void their warranty. The permanent inability to use an iPhone due to installing unlocking software is not covered under the iPhone’s warranty.

Douglas points out that ” if Apple bricks hacked iPhones, permanently, it will make the
price cut revolt look like a 1st Graders tantrum. I get images of iPhone being thrown through Apple Store windows. ”

I have to agree with Douglas and my reason is because Apple is doing a classic job of speaking out of both sides of their collective mouths. In the press release Apple states that the update will “Brick After Software update,” “cause irreparable damage to the iPhone’s software,” however in the same press release Apple also say “Our advice to users: wait until Firmware version 1.1 is out later this week before you decide to unlock your iPhone. Full release after the jump.”

Which is it Apple? We know it will blend, but do you want users to unlock the iPhone or not.? This kind of ambiguous position by Apple is irresponsible. As reported by the Unofficial Apple Web Log Job’s stated last week that it was Apple’s job to “to stop them breaking in.” Get your story straight Apple because this press release is smelling rotten to the core.

Bill Palmer from iProng shared their Podcast and New Media Expo press release with me this morning. Here it is. Hope to see you there.

The iProng booth at this weekend’s Podcast and New Media Expo will feature hands-on demonstrations of the iPhone and new iPods (including the iPod touch) led by leading podcasters from tech and other industries. Come meet your favorite podcasters and take Apple’s newest models for a spin at the same time!

iProng.com, the publication for iPod and iPhone users, wants you to learn all about the iPhone, iPod touch, iPod classic, and iPod nano, so we’ll have all four of them on display at our Podcast Expo booth (#609) this weekend for the entire time the exhibit hall is open. But we know that you don’t just want to hear from us for three days straight, so we’ve brought in our friends from across the new media spectrum to help us out. Please note that this schedule only includes those special guests who have been confirmed, and that all iPhone/iPod models will still be demonstrated at the times that no one is listed on this schedule: (more…)

Well, those people that did see the video on DVD Bookmarks, mostly wanted to know about the menu items on my “Top Menu Bar.” So by popular demand, here they are. I will let all of you find the links on Google. These are items that I have covered on the show at one time or another.

Click on the image to enlarge it.

Well if you have seen my screencasts you have seem me highlight certain areas of the screen as I am doing the presentations. Well I use  Mouseposé 2 to help me turned on, or dim the screen and puts a spotlight on the area around the mouse pointer. Today only MacZot has the regularly $14.95 product on sale for $9.95. This is another solid application from the folks at Boinx Software and if you are a presenter of any sort, I’d recommended.

Show Notes:

Andrew Darlow’s Imaging Buffet

301 Inkjet Tips and Techniques: An Essential Printing Resource for Photographers. By: Andrew Darlow

Andrew Darlow’s session at the Podcast and New Media Expo: Saturday 9/29, 11:45am - 12:45pm - How To Make Your Content Easy For “Grandma” to Consume: Simplifying RSS Feeds, Video Formats and Flash Players for Your Audience

Andrew had two items to add to his tips about Apple Mail:

1. You can also save or view a slide show of the attachments that you
receive by clicking on the “Save” or “Slideshow” buttons next to the
icon of the paper clip in the header under the To: line (selected in
red).

2. At 5 minutes 10 seconds into the podcast, I said “Command click or
right click” It should be “Control click or right click.” Sorry about
that.

Here is another Tip Andrew put over at Imaging Insider. It’s very cool.
