I watched a Scoble Show podcast a while back about a pretty cool technology program for your windows Media Center PC. The show was about TV Tonic. This is a free channel that you can add to your Media Center PC.
Basically what TV Tonic does is presents you with many channels of Internet video. There is Tech Tonic showing the best of the tech related Podcasts that are on the web. You can subscribe to any podcast that has an RSS feed so that you can watch this channel on demand online or off. The interface was created to act like television so there is no loading of each new podcast, it has been loaded up and transfers seamlessly for your viewing pleasure.
You can also look through the channels that TV Tonic already has and choose the ones you want to see and subscribe to, so you don;t have to go to a bunch of blogs or podcast websites to find the ones you want to watch. Ads play between the videos and using TV tonic is absolutely free to you. Watch the podcast for more detailed information. Once I get my Media Center PC hooked to the TV in the living room I will be downloading TV Tonic.
Today I watched The Scoble Show on my flight to Kansas City today. I watched quite a few of the episodes and I am very far behind. One of the shows I watched was about Seagate’s brand new Free Agent Drives. These look and perform very well. They are even releasing a Terabyte drive later this summer. That is pretty cool.
Right now you can get one drive up to 750GB and stylish portable drives that you can easily take with you back and forth from home to work. Scoble Show is a pretty cool show to watch, Robert Scoble is a very prolific podcaster and so many new shows come out all the time on so many different topics. I should be able to get back up to speed on some of my other flights, as long as I can keep my eyes open. Today was a very early morning and I had a hard time keeping my eyes open, not from the content of the show, just from my being tired.
Anyway, the Seagate drives have some cool looking software that easily backs up your software, photos and important information. I have been becoming more aware of the need for a back up of my photos. Some are on CD and I recently got a heavily discounted Maxtor external drive. I will probably need one of the SeaGate ones if I start shooting more pictures in RAW format. I just need to go out and shoot more with my Nikon.
Here are the links to the Scoble Shows about the Seagate Drives.
